Just wait a bit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman showed dissatisfaction upon hearing this and was about to speak when Gregory Xander said, “No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he directly took out a little paperman from his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since violence was not an option, he would use something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his hand gestures, he directed spiritual power towards the little paperman, and the paperman started to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its movements were a bit stiff, it floated from Gregory Xander’s palm under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little paperman quickly squeezed through the crack of the door and entered the room. Shortly after, a click was heard, and the door was opened from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the director and Ariel Zimmerman were slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Mystical Sect people can do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring their surprise, Gregory Xander directly entered the room, clearly finding nothing wrong with intruding on someone else’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being from the Mystical Sect, eliminating evil spirits was always the top priority. Knowing the Shadow Ghost was inside, delaying entry could endanger the people within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the room opened, Delaney Clark’s incredulous face met them; she glared at the three and sternly rebuked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?! Who allowed you to come in? I’m calling the police to arrest you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Do as you please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then focused on the pale, unconscious man behind her and the shadow beneath him that appeared somewhat weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To use a living person as a curse shield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander spoke coldly and stepped forward, pulling out a Yellow Talisman, and slapped it hard onto the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the instant the Yellow Talisman hit, the originally unconscious man suddenly jerked violently, and from his shadow, something black seemed to bulge, attempting to be forced out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Shadow Ghost hiding in the man’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Shadow Ghost mostly squeezed out, yet gripping tightly onto the man’s shadow and squeezing back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unconscious man’s body trembled again, and his face visibly became even paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander frowned at this, pulling out a high-level Spirit Talisman, intending to assert more force to drive out the Shadow Ghost from the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could act, a familiar clear voice came from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you slap that Talisman on, the man’s living soul will be destabilized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander’s action halted sharply due to the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three in the room quickly turned around, and upon seeing the girl standing at the door, the director couldn’t help but show admiration first,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman excitedly rushed towards Scarlett Jennings at the door, hugging her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett, why are you here too?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, embraced by Ariel Zimmerman, sensed her soul’s state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, even having encountered a ghost, her soul remained steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw the message you sent in the morning, tried calling but got no response, so I came to check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Scarlett Jennings didn’t mention was, worried about anything happening to Ariel, she spent a fortune hiring the Ghost Dad from Beichou Road to use the Ghost Car to bring her here, cutting the travel time by two-thirds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing she came on this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s her first time encountering a Shadow Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gregory Xander, observing Ariel’s identical actions towards Scarlett, had a brief ambiguous look but quickly returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Scarlett Jennings and simply asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have another way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said Scarlett Jennings, carrying her newly obtained Hundred Objects Box forward, and directly drew out the Peach Wood Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderstruck Wood, just by looking at it, its concealed power could be sensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings held the Peach Wood Sword towards the unconscious man on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the side, Delaney Clark finally reacted and rushed forward to block,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you trying to do to my boyfriend?! Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out to push Scarlett Jennings away, but Scarlett didn’t even glance at her, only said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ariel, help me pull her away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following orders, Ariel unhesitatingly hooked Delaney Clark’s neck and forcibly dragged her aside, warning quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I find out that the Shadow Ghost was involved with you, I’ll offend the sponsor even to take you down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman, typically sweet in image, spoke these cold, restrained words, causing Delaney Clark’s eyes to widen in panic, with a flash of guilty conscience, only to retort weakly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wha-what are you saying? What does it have to do with… me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel laughed coldly, guessing correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the “grudges” between the two women, on the other side, Scarlett Jennings pointed her Peach Wood Sword at the shadow beneath the man,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you come out yourself, or do I have to hit you out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, seeing the shadow remain motionless, she decisively raised the sword, and fiercely slashed at the shadow beneath the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Peach Wood Sword carried the thunder aura, specialized in vanquishing ghosts and evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Peach Wood Sword was about to slash the black shadow underneath, the shadow suddenly bulged out massively, soon forming a quick silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings seized the opportunity, striking the shadow repeatedly, instantly, the Shadow Ghost fell to the ground, resembling somewhat the man on the sofa lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Scarlett Jennings’ Peach Wood Sword turning towards him, the Shadow Ghost’s expression showed slight terror amidst its numb demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t, kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delaney Clark, previously pulled aside by Ariel, suddenly exclaimed upon seeing the Shadow Ghost man drop, breaking free from Ariel and running to block in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t kill him; he hasn’t hurt anyone. He’s a good ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hastily glanced at Ariel, gritting her teeth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t really want to hurt Ariel; he just listened to me and wanted to scare her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman, having guessed this involved her, felt a surge of anger upon hearing her confession,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you scaring me?! What did I do to offend you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, she should be the offended one, alright?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly inserted as a second lead, demanding more scenes, stealing her spotlight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say anything yet; this person first sought something to scare her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you always act like something goes wrong when we perform scenes together these days, being uncomfortable every time it’s my scene. The way you target me, can I not scare you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delaney Clark spoke these words feeling a bit aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was only trying to add some scenes, gain some spotlight, and the producers and director agreed, yet she stubbornly refused and fought against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she not just obediently listen to the sponsors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman nearly exploded with frustration hearing her justifications,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just for such trivial matters… you brought a ghost to watch me day-to-day to scare me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at the flicker in Delaney Clark’s eyes, then at the Shadow Ghost behind her, narrowing her eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you aren’t telling the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she didn’t waste any more words. Raising her hand, a Truth Talisman was directly cast onto Delaney Clark.\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-06-10T07:18:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","29ae1c34c28a5e28c3a1ab8898248fcd5e24e9800de2ebe84203a5d60354ec03","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-563","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-561",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
