The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Lily Phoenix’s Resentful Energy

As soon as Scarlett Jennings spoke, everyone present changed expressions, obviously unable to believe their ears.

What did she just say?

The only daughter of the Phoenix Family, the only one in a hundred years to receive a response from the Phoenix and quite possibly the future Empress, Edith Phoenix, said she has been stealing food for fifteen years???

This—who would dare believe it if told!

Jordan Phoenix was immediately enraged, pointing at Scarlett,

"Who allowed you to speak to Edith like that?! How could Edith possibly need to steal food like you?!"

Facing the accusation, Scarlett’s voice remained calm,

"Oh, she has been claiming the Phoenix Family’s daughter status and occupying someone else’s nest for fifteen years. Hasn’t everything she’s been using and eating been stolen?"

As Scarlett finished speaking, a momentary distortion crossed Edith’s face, but she quickly lowered her head, feigning sadness and shame.

The maids in the room bowed their heads in disbelief, wishing they didn’t have ears.

Although it wasn’t a secret to the close servants in the residence that Lily Phoenix was the real blood of the Phoenix Family, hearing it spoken so openly was still shocking.

Lady Phoenix, who had been silent in the room, finally slammed the table and sternly reprimanded,

"Impudence! Leaving Edith as the daughter of our Phoenix Family was my decision. Do you now have an issue with my decision?!"

Scarlett wasn’t fond of verbal sparring, but since they questioned her, she replied earnestly,

"Hmm, did you just realize?"

She asked sincerely, but with those eyes, it inexplicably hinted at unspoken words—

Seems you’re not blind yet.

Jordan couldn’t stand seeing Edith wronged, let alone the fact that someone dared to oppose his mother. He stepped forward, trying to use his height to exert pressure,

"Lily! Don’t talk about legitimate or illegitimate. The Phoenix Family acknowledges you only if they recognize you; otherwise, you’re nothing!

Your own misconduct aside, don’t try to put a hat on Edith! She’s different from you!"

"In what way is she different?"

"She’s different in every way! Look at your current bitter appearance; you can’t match Edith in the slightest! Edith would never deliberately defy father’s punishment like you!"

Jordan sneered, returning the topic to the start,

"She wouldn’t steal from the kitchen after only three days of fasting, showing no backbone or manners. Just because of that, you’re unworthy of being the Phoenix Family’s young lady!"

Even in front of his mother, he never hid his dislike for this biological sister.

He even thought she shouldn’t exist.

Because of her return, Edith secretly shed tears for several days!

Only recently relieved, this person dared to scold her in front of Edith!

If it weren’t for his mother’s presence, he would have taught the girl in front of him a lesson.

Floating beside Scarlett, Lily, Jordan’s words were originally directed at her.

But this wasn’t the first time she’d heard such words.

Since her return to the mansion on the first day, many, including him, had said the same thing.

Edith was the only young lady of the Phoenix Mansion, she couldn’t match even a strand of her hair, and those telling her not to foolishly contend with Edith.

Even though it wasn’t the first time hearing this, her heart ached uncontrollably.

These were the family members she had once hoped for.

Feeling some Resentful Energy leaking from Lily Phoenix’s Ghost Body next to her, Scarlett didn’t intend to suppress it.

To her, not having resentment would be abnormal.

Lily, formerly a type who didn’t dare harbor resentment even after death, suppressed her Resentful Energy deep within her Soul Body, making her seem indifferent to the world.
