The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Side Story: Regrets Mended in a Dream

Only when Ashton Todd found out why Stella Gibson wanted him to record the journey did he understand her reason.

After getting permission from Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, Stella Gibson directly handed him the task of video editing.

Ashton Todd nodded in agreement,

"Then you have to give me half of the reward for this task."

Stella couldn’t believe it and glared at him, "Did you even put in any effort to deserve half?"

Ashton Todd stood his ground, "How is recording the video not effort? I even accompanied you."

Stella turned to leave, "Didn’t you accompany me just for the thousand-year-old corpse soil? Do I care about your company?"

Seeing this, Ashton Todd quickly chased after her, negotiating,

"Then one-third, surely one-third is okay?"

"Get lost."

"Look at you, why are you so temperamental? Alright, it’s all yours, okay?"

...

Ashton Todd edited the video and released it that night through Mrs. Dixon’s account.

The local police soon issued a report stating that the body had been recovered. After examination, it was confirmed that Mr. Dixon died from an untreated infected wound, and they emphasized one crucial point—

The body was intact.

Although the online attention had subsided, with the video’s release, the topic surged back to the top of trending searches.

Previously, Fayella and the other three survivors had suffered online abuse due to cannibalistic speculations. The moment the video was released, they shared it.

Nothing is more convincing than showing the intact condition of the body to netizens.

It was for this reason that Mr. and Mrs. Dixon agreed for their son to appear in the video in his deceased state.

As viewers followed the video to discover the body’s location and the slightly familiar female voice explaining the situation, everyone finally understood the whole truth.

Hearing Stella Gibson explain that Declan Dixon appeared as a walking corpse because he was worried about the safety of his remaining friends, choosing to follow and guide them out of the dense forest after being left behind.

The other three survivors, much like Fayella in the video, wept uncontrollably, tormented by guilt for not bringing Declan Dixon out and the doubt and condemnation from netizens over the days.

Now, this video provided them with a relief valve.

Some netizens began leaving apologies on the survivors’ accounts, while more flocked to Mrs. Dixon’s account to express their condolences.

Their son was truly a kind-hearted boy.

In the initial sentiment, many netizens began to investigate the girl responsible for locating the body in the video.

Ashton Todd hadn’t shown Stella Gibson on camera; netizens could only see the hands and hear the voice in the video.

[This voice sounds strangely familiar.]

[The Master that Mrs. Dixon found seems quite capable, seemingly specialized in dealing with corpses.]

[My mother has been missing for years, her fate unknown. I desperately want to find her. Could someone provide the contact of this master for me? Please.]

Participation of Stella Gibson in "Spiritual Affairs" was minimal, so far fewer people online were familiar with her compared to Gregory Xander.

But that was only for the general public.

Anyone from the Mystical Sect, especially the Taoism Academy, could instantly recognize Stella Gibson’s voice.

After all, Stella Gibson was quite well-known among her batch of freshmen; even if they didn’t know her personally, mentioning the Contractor of the Undying Bone would prompt recognition.

Netizens focused on the touching story behind the body’s mysterious disappearance, whereas the Mystical Sect people were more interested in Stella Gibson’s brief use of the Corpse Control Technique in the video.

The Corpse Chasing Clan’s technique is mysterious even within the Mystical Sect.

Suffice it to say, her successful contract with the Undying Bone was enough to provoke curiosity and longing from the Mystical Sect towards the clan’s magic.

Jennings Family.

Scarlett Jennings was also watching the video online, recognizing Stella Gibson’s voice instantly, but her focus was more on the body featured in the video.

Though the person was dead, the body still held a hint of attachment.

She was planning to look more closely when her phone lit up with a call invitation from Stella Gibson.

Connecting the call, she heard Stella’s sweet voice,

"Scarlett, I remember you have the Dream-inducing Charm, and I want one~"

Hearing this, Scarlett knew exactly what she intended,
