The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: The House Thief Scarlett Jennings Steals Food

Although Scarlett Jennings planned to teach Lily Phoenix how to seek revenge, the most pressing matter she had to attend to was filling her own stomach first.

Scarlett Jennings wondered if it was because this body couldn’t sense Spiritual Energy; after using just a single Soul Stabilizing Technique, her Spiritual Power seemed blocked, as if something was in the way, even demonic power was beyond her reach.

Scarlett recalled encountering similar situations when she went to the Otherworld, but compared to the Otherworld, she could clearly feel this world’s Spiritual Energy was much more abundant.

Therefore, although she couldn’t use her Spiritual Power like before, Scarlett Jennings thought it wasn’t a big problem.

Aside from dealing with issues concerning this body, she also needed to find Samuel Chalmers and Susan quickly to regroup with them.

Having made up her mind, Scarlett Jennings contemplated briefly, drew herself the simplest Concealing Talisman, hiding her presence so the people in this mansion would temporarily ignore her existence.

After finding out the kitchen’s location, Scarlett Jennings climbed over the courtyard wall and headed in the direction of the kitchen.

Lily Phoenix watched herself climb over the wall in disbelief, trailing behind Scarlett Jennings, her expression filled with shock,

"How can you climb walls? The matron says women should be virtuous and stay within bounds, doing something like climbing walls, if someone sees..."

Upon returning to the Phoenix Mansion, Lily was pressed to learn the rules for two months, especially concerning the behavior expected of young ladies. It was no exaggeration to say that even a slight misstep would lead to punishment.

Now, upon seeing Scarlett Jennings use her body to do such things, Lily instinctively felt a sense of alarm.

Scarlett hadn’t felt such an emptiness in her body for a long time, and she had no mind to discuss with a ghost whether a proper lady should climb walls.

As she walked ahead, she encountered several young maids along the way, all who seemed invisible to Scarlett Jennings; Lily Phoenix was stunned immediately,

"Could it be that you’ve become a ghost like me?"

Otherwise, why couldn’t those maids see her?

Scarlett provided a brief explanation of the concealing principle and continued onward, eventually reaching the large kitchen.

Being unwelcome, her courtyard was closest to the servants’ quarters, so it wasn’t far from the large kitchen. Even so, the food sent to Lily Phoenix’s room was always cold.

This was the busy evening meal preparation time, and the kitchen was bustling, several stoves were ablaze, and as Scarlett Jennings entered, she immediately felt the heat, warming her body considerably.

Passing through the crowded kitchen without a care, Scarlett Jennings casually assisted a head chef by taking a dish.

Glancing at the food, she found it satisfactory and walked off with it.

Scanning around, she selected two more light dishes from the prepared food nearby, packed them, and left.

The busy kitchen staff seemed oblivious to her presence until Scarlett Jennings left with the food, only then did someone in the kitchen start asking,

"Which family’s maid just took the food?"

"Hey?! Where’s the colorful soup the madam specifically ordered tonight? Who took it? Was it you, Daisy Spring?"

"No, not me, I was just by the firewood,"

The large kitchen was briefly chaotic, but the instigator Scarlett Jennings had already returned to her small courtyard, quickly yet calmly finishing the food.

After regaining some strength, Scarlett Jennings carefully sensed and analyzed her Spiritual Power, attempting to break the blockage using external Spiritual Energy.

Just as she was midway through, she heard the courtyard door suddenly being violently pushed open, and several matrons with young maids stormed in with force.

Scarlett Jennings learned from Lily Phoenix’s prompt that the leading matron was Madam’s attendant, Matron Liao, flanked by Matron Ku and two young maids assigned to care for this place.

Since Lily Phoenix moved in here, the attendants treated her dismissively.
