Even without any Spiritual Power, he had managed to reach a pivotal position in the Mystical Council in just two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worthy of being the idol’s brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While feeling this in his heart, Felix wasn’t foolish and knew Mr. Jiang was dissatisfied with him for bothering Scarlett with work during her vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t actually intend to disturb her; it was just his first time meeting his idol, and having struck up a conversation, he couldn’t help but want to say a few more words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, his demeanor quickly adjusted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, there’s already someone from the Spiritual Affairs department to contact, and they’ll notify you once there is news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought by saying this, everything would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t talk to his idol, being around her was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this small wish was bound to be shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, beside him, Samuel Chalmers slowly wiped Scarlett Jennings’ hands and turned to Donovan Jennings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Mystical Council is busy, working from home isn’t convenient for you. You might as well finish your work and come back later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a friend, Donovan could naturally hear the meaning in Samuel’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was implying that Donovan had brought work \"troubles\" home, disturbing Scarlett’s rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t want anyone to disrupt Scarlett’s rare holiday, was Samuel being a bit petty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Donovan could speak, Felix Clark chimed in eagerly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, remote work won’t be a hindrance. I’ll be staying in Sea City to assist Mr. Jiang with anything, so Mr. Chalmers shouldn’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Chalmers: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Samuel stay silent, Donovan sighed inwardly, closed his laptop, then stood up to signal to Felix,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Donovan moved towards the house, Felix followed obediently, though his eyes instinctively darted to Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his self-assigned task to closely interact with his idol, worried he might not see her for some time if he left, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and approached Scarlett,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Scarlett, you’re my idol and I really like you! I’m so glad to see you here today, and this is something I made myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost said it all in one breath, then swiftly opened his bag, and with fluid motion, pulled out a beautifully crafted Mystical Sect journal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at the exquisite journal, which was adorned with runes, stuck with several little papermen, and even hung with a small Crocodile Tortoise pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shape of the Crocodile Tortoise was clearly Shellback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shellback also noticed the pendant, as small as its little paw, and without hesitation, rose in black mist to float near the journal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly curious, wanting to see it more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett noticed that many elements on the journal were things she had featured in front of the camera, such DIY journals she had seen fans make online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again at Felix’s sincere gaze, Scarlett remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Master cannot casually write their name on a book with unfamiliar vibes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she carried the bloodline of the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Clan is always cautious about names; even hearing it could cause them to sense it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the person before her hailed from the Mystical Sect, he would know the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he pushed the journal closer, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett was somewhat surprised, whereas Samuel’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just because of the gift, but also because of the direct expression of \"I like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with her face-to-face, shaking hands, giving a gift, confessing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because he seldom appeared at the Security Bureau that youths nowadays no longer regarded him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett naturally sensed Samuel’s obvious displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet seeing Felix’s sincere eyes, she extended her hand to accept the journal, saying, \"Thank you, it’s beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, the little pretty one perked up its ears, tilted its head: Did Scarlett call me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan stood not far away, observing with a calm demeanor, and said nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the journal from Felix, Scarlett felt the genuine sentiment more intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just Felix’s intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Felix, seeing Scarlett personally accept the journal, felt an inexplicable warmth in his nose, with sincere eyes, said with a slightly suppressed voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are all glad you’re back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scarlett, thank you for everything you’ve done for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him, but everyone from the Mystical Sect or the Demon Clan, or those aware of the Otherworld’s arrival being completely averted knew what she had done for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most didn’t know her identity with the Heavenly Dao, they took her sacrifice to avert the Otherworld’s arrival at face value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she disappeared, and was even forgotten by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because they realized they had forgotten something, they treasured Scarlett even more now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a seemingly ordinary Master from the Mystical Sect, despite this being their first interaction, he still wanted to express his heartfelt words to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to sincerely thank her on behalf of those from the Mystical Sect and people online who idolized her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also to thank her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank her for coming back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Felix said what he wanted, he resolutely turned and followed Donovan into the house without needing a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Scarlett and Samuel remained in the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fingers rubbing the delicate journal in her hand, Scarlett’s gaze shifted from the journal to Samuel beside her, suddenly drawing closer to him, asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you upset?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel’s face was calm, his voice deep, \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside their identities, Scarlett knew that those in relationships shouldn’t randomly accept gifts from the opposite sex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a matter of respect for one’s partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t plan to accept it initially, but Felix’s passionate sentiments didn’t include romantic love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like he said, purely as her fan, he simply liked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, this gift had more than just his sentiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett couldn’t find a reason to refuse such a heartfelt gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when a fiancé is jealous, he still needs to be appeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If any more gifts like this come, I won’t accept them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that by calming down, Samuel Chalmers would show satisfaction, but he narrowed his eyes at her words, then seriously looked at her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before being my fiancée, you are still yourself, you have the right to make choices about your own affairs, and I will not interfere with your choices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was jealous and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to deprive her of the right to accept gifts from others just because he disliked it, it would be disrespectful to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though he rejected the handshake, he didn’t prevent her from accepting the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards her, he never wanted to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett could hear Samuel’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see what Samuel was certainly aware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t prevent him from feeling jealous or uneasy when someone confessed to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett pondered for a moment, then leaned closer to him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel noticed her sudden proximity, slightly stunned, asking, \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett gazed at him, her eyes carrying a playful shimmer, and softly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comforting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, unexpectedly, she leaned in and kissed him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-10T07:19:05.091Z",1,"novelbin.me","a981c21632f64462e3c17af6d800a7307abe033c0e3e4d99dea9609d1b958c90","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1222","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1220",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
