His expression was rarely this serious,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Samuel Chalmers, you must promise me that Scarlett will return safely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Scarlett had her reasons for doing this, but as family, he couldn’t just say he understood and peacefully wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t confirm with Scarlett, but Samuel Chalmers, as her fiancé and being present at the scene, needed to take responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Jennings looked somber as he glanced at his son, then said to Samuel Chalmers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know this isn’t your fault, but please understand, Scarlett is very important to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know anything about the Otherworld or about her master; they only knew that Scarlett had gone to a place they couldn’t reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, even when Scarlett often went out, as long as they could contact her and knew she was safe, they could be at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers looked at the two men in front of him for a long moment before he spoke in a deep voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promise you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She will return within one week at the latest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days was the earliest time Scarlett had agreed upon with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t return after the agreed time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would personally go to the Otherworld to bring her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Samuel Chalmers’ promise, Donovan Jennings’ face relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t leave immediately; instead, they stayed in Artefact Village with Samuel Chalmers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers heard that more people were going to stay and were a bit uneasy, but upon hearing they were Scarlett’s family, they didn’t mind anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a pity that our village was damaged earlier, and we’re rushing to repair it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief said while arranging accommodations for Luca and Donovan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The original design plans for the village are gone, otherwise, the repairs could be done faster. Maybe we could finish before young Master Jennings returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Jennings, upon hearing the village chief, seemed pensive and immediately called the family steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, he handed an overall design blueprint of the village to the chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the blueprint similar to the village, even Donovan was surprised,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you have the design plans for this village?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I entered the village earlier, it seemed familiar. I asked the steward to check related project books in the study and found it was indeed this village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Jennings told the chief,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This village was initially developed as a specialty tourism project, but after it was built, the project was shelved…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief, surprised by this revelation, thought about Scarlett’s connection and the past conversations with Jade Bennett and couldn’t help but ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask your wife’s name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Logan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief, upon hearing the name, appeared slightly confused,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never heard this name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The person who handed the village to me was Magnolia Hearne.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the familiar name, Donovan Jennings’ heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett never hid much from them, so both he and his father knew Scarlett had been searching for her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her master was Magnolia Hearne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of a possibility, Donovan quickly pulled out his phone, found a photo of his mother, and asked the chief,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief, do you recognize the person in this photo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chief leaned in for a look and then his eyes lit up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Qi Qi! Magnolia Hearne.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan’s mind buzzed as he finally understood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master Scarlett had been seeking was their mother all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the person Scarlett intended to bring back from the Otherworld… was their mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a phone screen cracking was heard from his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan turned to see his father, usually stern and composed, with muscles tense on his face, and upon closer inspection, his eyes were trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Donovan could think of, Luca Jennings naturally realized as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Otherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logan, believed to be alive, and also known as Magnolia Hearne, was enjoying soybean milk with fried dough in a small alley breakfast shop with Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many of the fried doughs in the Otherworld are pre-made frozen products. This shop, an old establishment I found after a long search, makes soybean milk from scratch and fries fresh dough, just the way you like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne had the demeanor of a connoisseur, wanting to share the delicacies she discovered in this world with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s fondness for this taste was something Magnolia learned during her time as a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But interacting as a master was different from being a mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She now preferred to do simple and relaxing things as Scarlett’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things that could be cherished as memories of mother-daughter moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett assumed this was her mother’s “freshness” from regaining her maternal role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although concerned about finding Jasmine Hamilton and the Undying Bone, she patiently accompanied her across half the city for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished their bowls of soybean milk, Scarlett asked about what happened last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Magnolia had the restaurant manager expel some people based on a single text message, and Scarlett hadn’t asked more at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her seemingly well-acclimated to Otherworld life, Scarlett still couldn’t resist asking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia wasn’t surprised by her question and simply replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve not been idle these eighteen years in the Otherworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “The restaurant owner’s mother is from the Gibney Family, and it happens I’ve helped her a bit. She’s one of my loyal clients.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett speculated her mother had some source of income here, curious about what she did in the Otherworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Magnolia, with a serious tone, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Initially, I helped the society ladies in Sea City with some beauty issues, but later I also assisted businessmen with geomancy matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of geomancy, Scarlett was taken aback, “Isn’t there no mysticism in this world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, it doesn’t exist, but that doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia replied matter-of-factly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still superstitious people here. Although I can’t practice it for real, it’s not too hard to bluff using geomancy fortunetelling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So her mother, a legitimate geomancer of Demon descent, had a profession in the Otherworld as… a charlatan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexplicable sense of bizarre coherence emerged from the ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Scarlett realized she might have overlooked something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother’s ties with the Otherworld seemed deeper than she had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, being overly integrated into one world wasn’t ideal, as it might…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>prevent her from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A concerning thought flashed across Scarlett’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to search for Jasmine Hamilton and the Undying Bone today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wished to gather everyone and leave the Otherworld soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to speak, the skies above suddenly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On instinct, she looked up and saw the sky appear shrouded in a layer of mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mist felt strangely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Black Mist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wrist was seized by Magnolia beside her as she heard her mother’s somewhat irritable voice, uttering coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, that annoying old guy that won’t die is here again!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-06-10T07:18:43.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","a22ada89e1c49fa55a0bb03b822321133c68e4fbcafb07327b382bf2251e3edf","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-721","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-719",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
