even if ‘Inspiration’ couldn’t become wildly popular, he had to seize the opportunity to connect with Sebastian Carew, Ariel Zimmerman, and even Director Clark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that with this face, he would only get more popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, a determined curve tugged at Dashiell’s lips; he casually turned on the water faucet to wash his hands, ready to leave, only to catch a glimpse from the corner of his eye of a distorted figure behind him in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a section of the mirror had suddenly deformed, twisting into a humanoid shape behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell’s pupils suddenly trembled as he whipped his head around, only to find nothing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to the mirror, everything seemed normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably just a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Dashiell turned and left the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first day at the house, the tasks given by the production team were relatively simple: make two meals, clear weeds, clean the house, and visit the neighbors to introduce themselves as the new residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six were grouped to receive their tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings and Sebastian Carew, as they couldn’t cook, were assigned to visit the neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since visiting required bringing gifts, Scarlett and Sebastian each gathered candies and snacks that the show had placed in every guest’s room as gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the house, they first went to the two neighboring houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameraman wanting to capture a distant shot of the two walking drifted a bit further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian casually turned off his microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett observed his action, thought for a moment, and followed suit, turning off her microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once sure their conversation wouldn’t be overheard, Scarlett finally spoke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for stepping in today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was referring to the earlier incident with Evander aiming at Dashiell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing her words, Sebastian didn’t so much as nod, continuing to look self-absorbed at the scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the back, they simply looked like two people leisurely strolling and enjoying the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Scarlett could still hear Sebastian’s voice, now somewhat cold compared to the polished ease he displayed before the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my job, but I really don’t like anyone causing trouble when I work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Implicitly, their actions did indeed bring him extra trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why Sebastian didn’t like collaborating with amateurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They acted simply based on likes and dislikes, meddling unnecessarily, and lacked control over events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t even have basic adaptability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they maintained a friendly façade before the lens, off-camera Sebastian naturally resumed his “don’t bother me” stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett, seeing his attitude, didn’t show any unease or embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like when you apologized to someone and didn’t force a “it’s okay” from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She expressed her gratitude, but not to compel a “you’re welcome” in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, although Sebastian’s demeanor was cold, he was at least not hostile, which was good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the approaching steps of the cameraman from afar, Scarlett casually responded, “You’re right, I don’t like it either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too didn’t appreciate anyone adding trouble to her work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when that trouble couldn’t be immediately resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian slightly furrowed his brow, instinctively tilting his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously unsure if the troubles Scarlett mentioned included himself or others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, the two cameramen caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the camera turned towards them, Sebastian immediately adjusted his expression and turned his microphone back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both halted their steps and stopped in front of another villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this was once a wealthy area, not many people currently resided there; Scarlett and Sebastian knocked on two doors, only one opened, with a housekeeper maintaining the house answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proceeding past the house, they finally encountered someone after two more houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing they were filming at the haunted mansion, the lady of the house, though eyeing Sebastian’s looks with a desire to chat more, seemed apprehensive, and vaguely said to come to her if they needed help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking around, the entire villa district exuded an overly cold atmosphere, with little interaction between the two guests, making the audience before the live broadcast feel the chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is the first time my brother has encountered such a cold situation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The program team is not doing their job, always finding such Netherworld places.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The agent isn’t doing their job either, putting Carew into such weird shows.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Scarlett Jennings is just too boring, if it were Ariel, the atmosphere wouldn’t be this cold.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Haha, if Scarlett tried chatting with your brother, someone would definitely call it an attempt to cozy up to a star.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I think this is great, let’s enjoy Carew’s and Scarlett’s individual charisma!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live broadcast chat was buzzing on and on, and just when some viewers began feeling bored, a sudden message flashed across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mama!!! What did the camera just pan over?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, every viewer sharpened their focus on the screen; the cameraman also seemed to realize something, turning the lens swiftly to reveal an elderly hunched lady standing in a villa garden not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made every viewer’s spine tingle was that the old lady stood behind a hedge, her eyes filled with a sinister gaze, fixed intently in this direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, fixed on the camera and the person holding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mama! That old lady’s gaze is too creepy!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This person is standing silently there, if it weren’t for the daylight, I’d think I saw a ghost!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the live broadcast chat erupted in scared chaos, the old lady before the camera finally spoke, her hoarse voice tinged with a bit of sharpness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you from? What are you doing in that house?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady’s words bore a bit of a Celebration Province accent, but it was just discernible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photographer was merely responsible for shooting, so when finally approached, Sebastian naturally stepped forward to respond politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandma, we’re with the ‘Inspiration’ program team, here to film, and we’ll be staying in that house for a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sebastian smiled, it naturally carried a feel of closeness; some netizens said no one could resist his face, from eight to eighty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the moment Sebastian finished speaking, an unpleasant look crossed the old woman’s face on the other side of the hedge, and the next second, she unleashed a torrent of angry foreign words at Sebastian and Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>",1190,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4c9056ab5cf63658d36ff8ac3b21802b1f7f9fa60042d9918286dfbf5389983","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-108","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-106",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
