The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: The True and the False Master

Scarlett Jennings has two aliases.

One is called Grant, used solely for selling talismans on the Spiritual Affairs APP. Due to early high-quality and high-output production, this name inexplicably gained recognition in the Mystical Sect, and by now, the alias is almost semi-public in the mystical circle.

The other is called Like-Life, a somewhat famous ordinary jade sculptor in the jade circle.

Because her master said that jade talismans carved by a Master have greater spiritual efficacy, Scarlett Jennings entered the trade. While learning to carve jade talismans, she also sculpted other small trinkets according to her own preferences—for practice as well as to make money.

After all, playing with jade burns money, and before returning to the Jennings Family, Scarlett really couldn’t be considered wealthy. Sometimes encountering a good piece of material could empty all her savings, so selling jade carvings became another source of income for her.

Because her works all had a personal style, they too inexplicably gained fame.

Moreover, because she never showed her face in front of others, and her works were also traded through Ivan’s help, the circle came to see her as a mysterious new-generation master.

Since returning to the Jennings Family, due to continuous busyness combined with not lacking in money, she hadn’t produced new works in a long time, much less any news about herself.

However, Adam Jennings was the first to discover that Scarlett Jennings was Like-Life. How could there be things he was unclear about?

The Benedict Jade he was holding was made by Like-Life herself!

If even this couldn’t be seen, who was interested in his jade? Hearing this, Adam Jennings couldn’t help but sneer.

"You say you are Like-Life, do you have any proof?"

Though the woman sensed something odd in Adam Jennings’ reaction, she still followed his words and took out her special certificate.

Here in the auction house, both buyers and sellers have corresponding number plates, but for creators themselves, the auction house provides a certificate similar to identity authentication.

Because such individuals are considered another form of resource to the auction house, the auction house can introduce them to more buyers interested in their works through matchmaking.

Adam Jennings originally assumed she was just a blatant impostor, but unexpectedly, she had credentials, causing his temper to flare instantly.

Although Scarlett Jennings being Like-Life had somewhat disillusioned him at first, his initial admiration for her work was genuine.

Now the situation was akin to his idol being impersonated by an inconsequential individual, and the idol’s management had even authenticated her!

Could he endure this?

He didn’t even wait for the auction item he wanted—he stood up immediately, gave the woman a blank stare, said nothing, and walked out with his Benedict Jade in hand.

The woman was momentarily puzzled by his reaction, but the longing she had for the spiritual energy on that Benedict Jade made her reluctant to let him go, so she got up to follow him out.

As the auction started, Adam Jennings’ sudden action naturally caught the attention of Scarlett Jennings upstairs.

She instinctively glanced downstairs, noticing a woman beside Adam Jennings. Her gaze swept over the faint green aura emanating from the woman, and for once, Scarlett Jennings showed a hint of bewilderment.

After some thought, she decided to get up and said to Samuel Chalmers,

"I’ll go down and have a look."

Samuel Chalmers had known the moment she noticed the woman that she wouldn’t let it be, so he stood up with her, his expression indifferent,

"I’ll go with you."

Scarlett Jennings thought that today was meant for them to "buy" something, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave him behind, so she nodded,

"Alright."

The two had just left the private box, and Adam Jennings had already approached the auction house’s manager. He bluntly revealed his identity as a member of the Jennings Family and then coldly questioned,

"I just encountered a fraud in your auction house. The person even possesses a certificate issued by your house. May I ask whether your house is this neglectful and irresponsible in authenticating the identity of a genuine creator?!"

The auction house manager naturally recognized this young master from the second branch of the Jennings Family. He couldn’t possibly dismiss his words and immediately questioned in surprise,

Adam Jennings frowned at the piece he hadn’t seen before but said,

"That doesn’t mean much. If she chose to impersonate, she must have researched techniques; it only shows her disguise is indeed on point."

The woman had maintained a calm demeanor since entering, but at this point, seeing him still questioning her, she couldn’t hold back and spoke up,

"You keep insisting I’m an impostor. I’ve produced works to prove my identity. What about you? You say I’m not Like-Life—do you have any evidence?!"

"Of course, I have evidence!" Adam Jennings held the Benedict Jade in his hand, his voice firm and resolute,

"Because I know the real Master Like-Life!"

The manager, hearing this, instinctively asked, "Who is it?"

Adam Jennings was about to speak, but hesitated as the words reached his lips; he wasn’t sure if Scarlett Jennings was willing to reveal this alias.

"I need to make a call to confirm," Adam Jennings said.

The woman, hearing this, couldn’t help but chuckle. "You can’t present any evidence, so now you’re calling for backup?"

Adam Jennings shot her a glare but didn’t argue, taking out his phone to call Scarlett Jennings.

The next second, everyone heard a ringtone coming from the door.

Then the door of the reception room slowly opened.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers stood at the entrance. Scarlett casually silenced the incoming call on her phone, looked at the people inside, and calmly spoke,

"If there’s no accident, the person he’s talking about is me."
