Scarlett Jennings’ thoughts wandered, as if she had suddenly realized something,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how do you have an apartment upstairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett wasn’t curious about how Samuel had another property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with his wealth, he could own an apartment in every city nationwide if he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Scarlett was curious about was, how did he have a place that happened to be right above hers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he decided to stay temporarily, he couldn’t possibly have found and bought a suitable place overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment upstairs must be his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers didn’t seem surprised by her question; he simply said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This complex was developed by the Chalmers Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact was, Lucas Jennings initially reached out to Samuel to inquire about properties in this complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he planned to co-invest with his brother for a property as a birthday gift for Scarlett Jennings, Samuel had two units reserved directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One for Lucas Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One he kept for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t intended to do much with it originally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking back now, keeping it was the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Scarlett dislikes being “protected” at all times, and she doesn’t need such “protection”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers just said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mentioned before that you wanted to accumulate merit with me. Does that still hold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him suddenly bring this up, Scarlett naturally nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it counts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she wanted to uncover the secret of his golden light, it didn’t prevent her from wanting to help him regain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning Samuel moved in proactively to accumulate merit, Scarlett no longer felt conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just so happens I accepted a task yesterday. If you have time, you can join me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come across this task while tidying up the room earlier today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, this task was also about demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tasks posted on the Spiritual Affairs APP are varied and odd, but those involving demons are rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there’s an unwritten rule within the Mystical Sect and even the Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any affair concerning demons should be handled by the Mystic Regulation Office itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless stumbled upon by chance, even if the Security Bureau intervenes, the final handling is passed to the Mystic Regulation Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that rat demon from last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the Mystical Sect, Scarlett Jennings rarely encountered mystical creatures, much less demon beasts like she did today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why she wanted to stay and investigate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had plenty of talismans for dealing with Underworld Specters, but not many specifically for demons. Just as well to use the opportunity to test which talismans were more effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After talking with Samuel Chalmers, the two of them directly sought out the individuals related to this task’s objective the following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This task was posted by the Mystic Regulation Office in the Capital Metropolitan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident initially occurred in the Capital Metropolitan, starting when a hospital simultaneously had three women pregnant with multiples exposed online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being pregnant with multiples itself is not unusual, but such cases appearing densely in the same hospital is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, all three women became pregnant around the same time, piquing the curiosity of some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were unaware that multiples can be created artificially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artificially, as in test-tube babies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some couples, due to unique circumstances, can’t conceive naturally, leading to the development of artificial external fertilization methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure successful conception, multiple embryos are usually nurtured for intrauterine transfer, fearing a single embryo’s insufficient viability might result in failure post-transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transferring multiple embryos ensures at least one will survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But often, not just one embryo survives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes two or three, even four or five embryos, make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Capital Metropolitan’s three women’s cases were exposed, the internet immediately speculated this was the result of test-tube methods, some even seeing the hospital as leading other hospitals in test-tube technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, journalists visiting later discovered this wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three women hadn’t undergone test-tube procedures but conceived naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of these women showed no joy at having several children. Rather, she was distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her family already had two children, this pregnancy was to support the national three-child policy, thinking they could manage three children with some struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she was suddenly found carrying triplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a regular working-class family, how could they afford the expenses of raising five children?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s not just about giving birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After birth, they need to be raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And raised meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like the past when people casually had kids and raised them. Especially in big cities, kids had to keep up with their peers from birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From sustenance to education, artistic training—each requires money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes it’s not about not wanting children, but being unable to afford them after having them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman interviewed couldn’t hold back her tears while talking about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said it would be just one, but three came at once. How can we afford to raise them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, people thought “he” was her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But further investigation revealed that he wasn’t her husband but a young doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other two women reportedly also conceived after taking a “secret medicine” from a young doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this revelation, more cases of successful pregnancies following the “secret medicine” appeared across the Capital Metropolitan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a coincidence repeats too frequently, it becomes abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, where there’s strangeness, there’s bound to be a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this incident blew up online, it caught the Mystic Regulation Office’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no secret medicine casually causing pregnancies in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only demonic means could achieve such frequent success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those women carried no trace of sinister energy or ghostly presence, ruling out ghosts or specters. What remained could only be a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps sensing the Mystic Regulation Office’s movement, the suspect quickly fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mystic Regulation Office perhaps reluctant to chase a minor demon long-distance, directly posted the task on Spiritual Affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the clues provided by the task issuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon fled to Sea City because it had another client there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the pregnant women’s accounts, the doctor would personally check on their pregnancies after selling them the medicine to ensure success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the pregnancy didn’t occur, he would provide an extra pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called it after-sales service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Sea City, it hadn’t been confirmed yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this is a very diligent demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we going to meet this client?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Samuel casually asked, and Scarlett nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although finding her doesn’t guarantee finding the demon, it’s the only lead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she added to Samuel,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might take a fair amount of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel looked at her upon hearing this, grunted, “I have time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they got out of the car, they followed the address and finally met the “client.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Scarlett hadn’t expected was that while she didn’t know the client, she did know the client’s other half—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the child’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she know him, but they were somewhat acquainted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-10T07:18:34.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","adfe708fb488a28e09c7452bb0cbd457dc32c2220a45fbe6fc6a02b60ebc3a05","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-540","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-538",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
