The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 421: Truth Talisman Ineffective?

In front of Lucas stood Ava Zimmerman, wearing a white long dress adorned with ribbons, with a pair of delicate elf wings attached to her back.

Her makeup was heavy, colorful and carefully applied, accented with crystal speckles, creating a stark contrast with her pure white attire, effectively covering the scars on her face.

The stylist had intentionally added a layer of veil for her, a white veil with crystal drapes, making her appearance elegant and mysterious at first glance.

Just from her outfit, one would never guess that her face had been disfigured.

This was probably the effect Chase Jennings wanted to achieve by bringing her here.

It was clear that Lucas Jennings wasn’t just casually saying that Chase Jennings put a lot of thought into Ava Zimmerman.

At least for Ava Zimmerman, seeing her complete look for the first time, she was stunned.

This was probably the most beautiful she had ever seen herself in her life.

This beautiful appearance even made her usually somewhat melancholy eyes appear a bit clearer.

The two of them exchanged glances over Chase Jennings, one in black and the other in white, like two distinct streams.

Chase noticed the exchange of glances between them, though a bit displeased that Scarlett Jennings was openly ignoring him, quickly seemed to think of something, hurriedly stepped aside, and directly introduced,

"Since we met here, let me introduce you, this is Ava Zimmerman, my friend."

After a pause, he added, "Ava is also your fan."

Scarlett Jennings raised her eyebrows slightly.

She remembered that the male ghost on the 18th floor mentioned this to her.

The fan who used her photo as a wallpaper...

"Hello, I’m Scarlett Jennings."

Scarlett extended her hand towards her, Ava seemed a bit nervous as she stepped forward to shake her hand.

Their hands touched briefly, but it didn’t stop Scarlett from pressing a Truth Talisman into Ava’s palm smoothly.

As they let go, Scarlett asked Ava,

"Are you really my fan?"

Ava was taken aback, but instinctively spoke the truth from her heart.

"I am."

Her voice was hoarse and low.

As soon as she spoke, she vaguely felt something was off.

Chase also felt puzzled and lowered his voice, slightly displeased towards Scarlett,

"Didn’t I just say that, why do you have to confirm it yourself?"

How could she take his words so lightly?

It was one thing at home, but to do it in front of outsiders too.

Amidst Chase’s interruption, Ava quickly lowered her head, seemed to say something softly through the veil, and when she looked up at Scarlett again, her eyes were deep, focused, and serious,

"I’ve been following you since you started on the show, I really like you."

Scarlett listened to her words but frowned.

Despite her unpleasant voice, there was no hint of a lie in her words.

But... her Truth Talisman failed.

It was clearly working just now.

So, did the opponent discover her little trick and directly disable her Truth Talisman?

Scarlett wasn’t sure, was this also a capability of a Word Spirit?

"Has your voice always been like this from the beginning?"

What Scarlett wanted to know more was whether the change in her voice had anything to do with the abilities of a Word Spirit.

Scarlett asked flatly, without a hint of sarcasm in her tone, yet beside her, Chase Jennings frowned.

Just as Ava was about to answer, she suddenly burst into a fit of violent coughing as if stimulated.

The sudden, heart-wrenching sight drew quite a bit of attention from those present.

Chase’s face changed slightly, hurrying to inquire with concern,

"Are you okay? If your throat is uncomfortable, you shouldn’t speak."

Saying this, he couldn’t help but glare at Scarlett, grumbling,

"Her voice was burned when she escaped from a fire as a child, if you don’t like her voice you can just not listen! Why purposely uncover someone’s scars, who taught you to chat like this?"

Though Chase intentionally kept his voice low, their conversation already attracted onlookers, naturally, some overheard his reprimanding tone.

Among them was a young person who liked to livestream their second-generation life in the circle, holding a balance stand to livestream when approaching, the camera pointed directly at Scarlett’s little witch.

The livestream instantly buzzed with comments.

[This little witch is so stunning!]

[Yeah, look closely, she even looks a bit like my long-lost daughter.]

[Whoa, not just looks like her, she IS my daughter!]

[Ah, this witch look is killing me! But who is that guy? Why is he scolding my child?]

The second-gen, seeing the comments, quietly explained,

"Guys, this little witch is the well-known Scarlett Jennings, didn’t expect to see her here today, the one talking to her is her second cousin, and the elf beside him should be his date."

[Cousin or not, you can’t just scold people face-to-face.]

[Didn’t they say she intentionally uncovered someone’s scars? Isn’t being scolded deserved then?]

[The way she appeared on the reality show is fake; the true self is what’s private.]

The second-gen had just come over, and the audience only caught that part from Chase.

Just from that, it indeed seemed like Scarlett was bullying someone.

Over there, Alicia Sharp and Adam Jennings seeing this couldn’t help but frown, feeling Chase was a bit too sensitive.

Scarlett had just asked normally.

Seeing quite some eyes turning towards them, Adam instinctively stepped forward, blocking them from looking at Scarlett, ready to explain for her.

But Scarlett already spoke, her voice calm and unhurried,

"If your hearing is impaired, it can be treated, do you want me to treat it right here?"

Scarlett didn’t raise her hand while speaking, yet somehow made Chase feel a sudden chill, waking him up.

Though he sobered up, he couldn’t back down in front of outsiders.

"We’re outside, I... won’t argue with you."

Even as he said so, he lacked a bit of momentum.

At this point, the audience in the livestream: ...

[Is Scarlett Jennings threatening him?]

[Yep, that tone is definitely my daughter.]

[Even threatening her cousin, seems she’s getting bold now.]

[Honestly, if my cousin shouted at me like that in front of everyone, I could be bolder than her.]

Adam, seeing Chase clear-headed from Scarlett’s words, opportunistically explained,

"She was just concerned and asking, not despising anyone, Chase you’re too sensitive."

Chase couldn’t help but look at Adam, thinking whose side are you on?

Now, even Adam is helping Scarlett argue against him?

But upon seeing the eyes watching them, he knew his reaction was indeed excessive, and after all, out here everyone is part of the Jennings Family, causing a scene wouldn’t reflect well on their family.

Chase kept a straight face, intending to take Ava Zimmerman away.

However, just as he took a step, Ava reached out to stop him.

Ava, having barely calmed her coughing, now looked at him with slight heaviness in her eyes, speaking in a still hoarse voice,

"I think you should apologize to Scarlett."
