If you don’t want it, you can return it, or burn it, just don’t give it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that the current Samuel has no previous ties with her now, even with the original Samuel, she wouldn’t overstep her bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in matters like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel saw her persistence and did not insist, glancing at Araminta Gold over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, he knew the little paperman was the culprit, and he didn’t believe Scarlett really instructed the theft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Samuel’s gaze, Araminta Gold immediately covered her face with her hands as if caught red-handed and tried to hide behind the teapot on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel didn’t bother with it anymore, took the letter, intending to destroy it, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he decided to directly open the envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envelope was made of high-grade demon clan paper, designed to let demon energy linger, allowing the recipient to sense the sender’s demon energy the moment they touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s akin to leaving a personal perfume imprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Scarlett saw him unexpectedly opening the letter face-to-face, her gaze at Samuel carried a hint of inquiry, and in the next second, she seemed to realize something and looked at the envelope in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the moment the envelope was opened, a faint wisp of demon energy emerged, accompanied by a nearly invisible, silk-like thread of foulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel quickly pinched the piece of filth with his fingers, watching the black demon energy purify and dissipate at his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s eyes sharpened because of the special nature of the paper; she hadn’t seen that thread of filthy demon energy just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was hidden inside the envelope; regardless of who the demon is who wrote the letter, it’s hard to believe this is just an ordinary love letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A provocation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett could only speculate that it was the evil demon hidden within the academy who had seen through Samuel’s identity, using such a letter that appeared to be a love letter to test him or provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel didn’t reply immediately but waited until he confirmed there were no other anomalies in the envelope before taking out the letter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuck on the letter was a photo of a popular idol, with only one sentence written underneath—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look a bit like my favorite guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could consider it a disguised confession or simply sharing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Scarlett looked at the meticulously styled idol in the photo, and then at the cold and steady Samuel, she couldn’t help but wonder inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s the resemblance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if understanding the doubt in Scarlett’s heart, Samuel said, \"To avoid trouble, I concealed my true appearance with Golden Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he didn’t need to deliberately conceal it; the Golden Light itself subtly masked people’s impressions of his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how reporters in the past failed to capture a full-face photo of him, those who’ve seen him once can’t clearly recall his original appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for demons, they would more likely associate him with someone deeply impressed in their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person who wrote him a letter probably just imagined him as that idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is usually a case for some minor demons; strong demons like Simon and Cassian Wolf were rarely affected by the Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these special cases, strictly speaking, Scarlett Jennings was probably the only human who had seen his true appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t delve into his explanation about concealing his appearance; instead, she focused on the motive of the person behind the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the sender was a disguised envious demon or a little demon corrupted and utilized, it needed careful investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To determine the sender’s intent, just trace this demon energy to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon energy remaining on the envelope was not hidden, and by following the trail, they could quickly find the person who sent the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at a residential building on Demon Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassidy had just returned from meeting her human online friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The friend didn’t know she was a demon; they met because they both idolized the same celebrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The new teacher at our academy really looks like my guy, but unfortunately, I can’t get a picture of him. Otherwise, you’d be shocked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I even wrote him a letter but I feel like he, just like my guy, won’t reply to me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassidy chatted on the phone while heading home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening the door, she smelled a not-so-familiar demon scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the visitor inside, it was an elder from their clan, considered her grand-aunt if calculated in human terms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Edith, you’re back. Your grand-aunt brought along the little demon grandchild from the clan; I heard her little grandchild will be attending the Academy of Mystique next month. Remember to look after him at school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassidy listened to her mother’s words, absentmindedly agreeing, then asked, \"Where’s the little one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother pointed to her room, \"Went into your room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cassidy was momentarily stunned and quickly rushed into her room, thinking of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, a shrill demon scream echoed throughout the house, loud enough to potentially break all electronic devices at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh! My idol!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sound, Cassidy’s mother and the others hurried to her room, only to find the place in a mess, with various exquisite cards snapped and discarded at will, and all kinds of figurines with missing limbs or heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the posters, life-sized idol pillows, and mini-idol figures in Cassidy’s room, all utterly destroyed without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the culprit, a little brat, stood in the middle of the mess he’d made, righteously questioning her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you have so many human things in your room?! Lowly humans, see me destroy them all! Destroy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugging her hard-fought but now broken prized figurine, Cassidy was almost on the verge of collapse. Hearing the little brat’s words, her eyes were nearly red in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon energy emanated from her body as she glared at the little brat before her, rage erupting from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Scarlett Jennings were present, she’d see that the demon energy emanating from Cassidy mixed with hints of black filth...\u003C\u002Fp>",1273,"2026-06-10T07:18:48.394Z",1,"novelbin.me","8adcdd32cd46ba4098c12794692447d90694525b9b2d697182d00925db6decba","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-861","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-859",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
