Did you plan this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings suddenly stood up from his seat. Seeing the other two remain seated and unmoving, he instinctively shifted his position closer to Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two appeared uninterested in addressing Adam Jennings, each focusing intently on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One appeared serious and cold, while the other seemed indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you know I was lying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias Quinn was genuinely curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he had acted quite normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at him expressionlessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not the only one who has been reborn from the Otherworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, when she heard him mention the collective suicide, she didn’t have doubts but felt something about him seemed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she returned, she directly sought out Alicia Sharp to verify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from the Capital Metropolitan, she had a candid conversation with Alicia Sharp, who had previously concealed the secret of her rebirth, fearing she would be taken away by the Mystical Sect for soul studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning Scarlett Jennings already knew her secret, she no longer hid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Alicia Sharp was caught up in the mess of the Sharp Family in her past life and didn’t care much about societal news, she still remembered significant societal events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings still recalled Alicia Sharp’s original words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I might be uncertain about other places, but if something this serious happened at Sea University, there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard of it unless it was completely suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if it was suppressed, common people might not know, but people within our circle would surely know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Alicia Sharp’s opinion was that this event never occurred in the previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also expressed curiosity about Elias Quinn,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The person you mentioned, is he a Journalism student? Otherwise, how could he remember the timelines for these societal events so clearly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, people usually remember events with specific dates either because they are related to them or because they regularly encounter these events within their circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Alicia Sharp’s comment that made Scarlett Jennings certain there was indeed a problem with Elias Quinn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she wasn’t sure if Elias was simply lying or playing another role in this matter, so she hadn’t exposed him right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you have already encountered others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias Quinn appeared unfazed, even upon being exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings continued to look at him coldly, her tone assertive,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You indeed come from the Otherworld, but you’re not the Elias Quinn of the Otherworld; you took over his body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Elias Quinn had previously revealed to Abigail Bryant was true; during those three days, someone had investigated Elias Quinn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a straightforward young man ever since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the person before her, like Alicia Sharp, was reborn midway in their lives, such a drastic change wouldn’t be possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned more towards it being similar to the system’s treatment of Chase Jennings and the elderly Mrs. Jennings at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Otherworldly soul seizing Elias Quinn’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the compatibility of the soul and even his demeanor, this was an Otherworldly soul that had already successfully possessed his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite clever, but you guessed wrong about this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias Quinn said, “I am Elias Quinn himself; from the time I was born, I have always been Elias Quinn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, hearing him refute her guess, didn’t lose her composure but asked him still,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you are Elias Quinn, what was your purpose in orchestrating today’s suicide? Did you have a grudge against those nine people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not exactly a grudge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Heath York, at most, there was just a little friction in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he also planned to get rid of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the first eight people…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could say, I wanted to see your capabilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias Quinn laughed softly, his face nonchalant, yet there was a deeper meaning in his eyes as he looked at Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember I mentioned before, if you successfully resolve this incident, I’d tell you something, something related to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings seemed displeased by his mysterious demeanor, suddenly speaking without expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re trying to say that I don’t exist in the Otherworld, I’m already aware of that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings’s words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, not only leaving Adam Jennings momentarily stunned but also leaving Elias Quinn frozen for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did another reincarnator tell you? Tsk, that takes the fun out of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed a bit dissatisfied for not being the one to break the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings, however, couldn’t maintain his composure, unable to resist interjecting in their conversation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean you don’t exist? What on earth are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings gave him a glance, remaining silent, but Elias Quinn kindly explained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It means that in what should be the parallel world of the Otherworld, Scarlett Jennings doesn’t exist. She never existed—she was never born.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke each word slowly and clearly, leaving Adam Jennings utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, however, remained calm and composed, as always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already been surprised when she first heard about it from Alicia Sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia Sharp initially wasn’t sure whether to mention it since, in her view, it was quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Alicia Sharp’s previous life experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had never been a girl named Scarlett Jennings in the Jennings Family, not even Donovan Jennings existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the head of the Jennings Family, Luca Jennings, had never married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The eldest Jennings never married; Adam Jennings had an older brother who died in childhood, while your second uncle and aunt did indeed divorce later, just not this early…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings recalled Alicia Sharp muttering on about the Jennings Family matters she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, a suspicion had already started to form in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to find out the truth, she had to find her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, Elias Quinn was giving her a sense of being a gateway to the Otherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite thinking his appearance was a bit too coincidental, now that he appeared, she surely wouldn’t let it slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a swift movement, Scarlett Jennings finally stood up from her seat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve said enough here; it’s time to change locations to discuss things in more detail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she took out a Binding Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elias Quinn, seeing this, remained unperturbed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to capture me? But you have no evidence proving I’m behind all of this. You haven’t figured out how or why those nine people jumped. Isn’t that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Scarlett Jennings was about to respond, the door of the small cafeteria booth swung open from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor Quintero, along with another Security Bureau member, strode in and directly addressed Elias Quinn,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Security Bureau doesn’t need evidence to arrest someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had indeed said something similar before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… did she come across as so theatrical when she said it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings thought to herself, as Victor Quintero and the other person swiftly moved in to restrain Elias Quinn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Elias offered no resistance, allowing himself to be taken away by the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he was leaving, he looked at Scarlett Jennings once more, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promised to tell you something if you successfully stopped the jump. Since you already know, let me tell you something else instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sea University harbors a cockroach. Those eight individuals are connected to that cockroach.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-10T07:18:43.165Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7f53f2c105bfc5baa51cbce8e6e0bbb67ce33ed97fda98c6bbba6c3f15db541","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-644","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-643",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
