The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!

Chapter 1274: Extra Story: Donovan Jennings 4

Over there, Aaron Hearne maintained the posture of his tail piercing through the chest to lift the dark figure, placing it in front of Magnolia Hearne, before retracting his tail.

As he retracted it, he deliberately controlled the force to avoid dispersing the other’s soul, ensuring there was still a breath left.

Magnolia glanced at the dark figure before her, then at Aaron’s nonchalant actions, and raised her hand to firmly lock the dark figure with the Spirit Light Chain she hadn’t had the chance to use.

She also bound the other two in the same way.

After completing this, she turned around, pondering who to hand it over for handling.

Nyxelle Sinclaire noticed and quickly stepped forward. Today, the matter had originally targeted her.

Due to her reasons, she almost implicated Donovan Jennings, for which she felt guilty and naturally took on the task of handling the aftermath.

It wasn’t until this moment that Magnolia looked at her closely, with some curiosity in her eyes,

"I think I’ve seen you before, are you in Division One?"

Nyxelle nodded,

"I’m Nyxelle Sinclaire. This Big Ghost was my previous assignment, I couldn’t catch it, and unexpectedly involved Donovan Jennings, truly sorry."

Saying this, she glanced at Donovan, hesitated for a second, and still said,

"The words I said in the car before were abrupt, I take them back."

Donovan obviously knew what she was referring to, and calmly responded, "It’s okay."

His attitude was the usual gentleness he showed towards outsiders.

Magnolia looked at Donovan, then Nyxelle, with some thoughtfulness but held back further comment.

Since the car encountered issues, Nyxelle contacted another vehicle to pick them up.

Scarlett Jennings and the others naturally didn’t need to travel by car, they could leave the way they came.

But since they had come all this way, gathered together in such completeness, leaving abruptly seemed a bit wasteful.

So Donovan glanced at the evening sunset and said,

"It’s just about dinner time, I’ve booked a restaurant. Shall we have dinner together?"

As he spoke, Nyxelle, who was managing the aftermath with Felix Clark and the driver, couldn’t help but glance at him.

Not that she still wanted to have dinner together, mainly because...

That line sounded like it was hers?

The others didn’t notice Nyxelle’s situation, Emily Hearne heard Donovan’s words and immediately replied without thinking,

"I haven’t eaten human food for many years..."

As soon as she finished speaking, three gazes immediately focused on her.

Besides Scarlett and Magnolia, there was Aaron as well.

Despite being stared at by three people, Emily’s expression remained unchanged, as she calmly finished the second half of her sentence,

"... now that you mention it, I kind of want to try it."

Scarlett and Magnolia were instantly pleased.

Although Magnolia, Emily, and Aaron had reconciled before, sitting down for a proper meal together had never happened.

Mainly because none of them were the type for such gatherings.

But it didn’t matter if they weren’t into it; Donovan was skilled at social interactions.

"Before we go for dinner, perhaps we should buy a couple of outfits to change into first."

Donovan’s suggestion was mainly directed at Emily.

Due to his dealings with Mystic Regulation Office business, Aaron’s attire was somewhat modernized, but Emily had her unique style.

Emily heard this and raised an eyebrow,

What kind of meal required her to change outfits?

She was about to say she would wear what she already had when Donovan calmly added,

"With Scarlett and Samuel Chalmers’ wedding coming up, perhaps buy a few outfits for the occasion, since you are family."

As he spoke, his peach blossom eyes habitually held a hint of a smile.

Emily immediately changed her tune,

"Then let’s take a look."

Thus, before dinner, the five of them headed to the city’s mall.

Actually, given the Jennings Family and Hearne Clan’s status and wealth, they could easily have clothes delivered home to pick from.

But sometimes, women shop for clothes, it’s about the experience of strolling through stores.

In this regard, Magnolia and Scarlett were on the same page.

"Let’s first order some milk tea."

Scarlett suggested.

So each of them ended up with a cup of milk tea in hand.

Emily looked at the drink a bit disdainfully but it was bought by her granddaughter, so she decided to take a sip.

Just a small taste.

Well... it wasn’t bad.

She’d try some more.

Their unique group attracted a lot of attention as they walked through the mall.

Donovan led them into a store and directly presented an SS VIP card, causing the store to be cleared out for them.

What followed was trying and buying.

Though initially meant for Emily, once inside, Magnolia started picking for herself.

Finished picking her own, she then selected for Scarlett.

Once done, she started pointing out preferences regarding Emily’s style.

Emily shot her elder daughter a cold glance; the King Fox’s temper flared, immediately stating,

"I’m not buying."

Saying this, she turned to leave.

Realizing trouble, Magnolia quickly signaled Scarlett, and they flanked Emily.

"I’m just saying, how do you still have such a temper at your age?"

Scarlett added,

"I thought that blue outfit looked nice and elegant."

Emily snorted,

"I don’t need elegance."

As the King Fox, she had her own stylish elegance.

The two of them realized they couldn’t sway her, so they signaled to the two sitting on the nearby sofa.

For Aaron, it was his first time accompanying anyone to shop for clothes, yet he sat there watching with amusement, distinctly not intervening.

In the end, it was Donovan who stepped forward.

He smiled and said something.

Emily’s expression visibly changed, gaining two parts seriousness before she declared,

"Whatever you picked, I’ll try two more outfits."

Magnolia and Scarlett watched Emily head into the fitting room, then looked at Donovan with admiration.

Aaron regarded this "nephew." Managing to penetrate the Mystical Circle and gain a position in a key department as a mere businessman, Donovan certainly had his skills.

At least in the Hearne Clan, no one else could switch Emily’s intentions with just a sentence.

And Donovan really did say something simple.

He said,

"My grandmother has pre-ordered six outfits for Scarlett’s wedding banquet, saying that as the elder of the bride’s family, they are responsible for supporting Scarlett’s big day."

Emily usually didn’t care about such things.

But... for her granddaughter’s marriage, Emily Hearne was the true senior of the bride’s family.

Could the Jennings Family’s old lady... compare?

Due to this statement, what started as a plan to buy just two outfits evolved into three women going on a shopping spree.

Donovan and Aaron followed behind, naturally serving as labor, carrying bags of items. If the location were suitable, Aaron would have transformed his nine tails to help carry things.

When they finally finished shopping and headed for dinner, it was already eight-thirty in the evening.

After a harmonious dinner, Scarlett and the others each returned home.

After sending them off, Donovan finally returned alone to his villa in the Capital Metropolitan.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he saw an unexpected person sitting in the living room.

Donovan looked at the visitor, slightly raised his brows, and said,

"If you’re here for Scarlett, she’s already gone home."

Hearing his words, Samuel Chalmers slowly stood up beside the living room sofa.

His deep black eyes met Donovan’s gaze, and after a moment, he said,

"I know, I’m here for you."
