The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Fifty Taels Reward

On the other side, Scarlett Jennings arrived in comfort and left just as comfortably.

Sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, she didn’t notice the almost glowing gaze Lily Phoenix cast her way.

"Scarlett, you’re... you’re amazing!"

The way she spoke just now!

Even Lady Phoenix, her second brother, and Edith couldn’t find words to retort; it was the first time Lily Phoenix saw them so defeated.

She thought, if she could be as formidable as Scarlett, maybe her life wouldn’t have been so stifling, or... her death wouldn’t have been so oppressive.

Lily Phoenix didn’t quite know how to describe her feelings at that moment, watching Scarlett silence her own mother and brother using her body made her feel... exhilarating.

If only she knew some modern vocabulary, perhaps she could more accurately describe this sense of satisfaction.

Looking at those relatives she once longed for from a posthumous perspective, she realized how insignificant she was in their eyes.

Maybe she had noticed it long ago but was too immersed in sadness to face it or have the courage to rebel.

But it doesn’t matter; she is dead now.

She still has Scarlett,

She can... get revenge!

"Scarlett, why did you mention the truth about Hudson just now? Why not keep it hidden and go straight to him?"

Scarlett Jennings then opened her eyes slowly and looked at Lily Phoenix before saying,

"Being exposed by others and forced to acknowledge your existence is different from embarrassing yourself by admitting your existence."

Scarlett continued,

"Isn’t what you want for them to acknowledge your existence?"

The coming-of-age ceremony and Edith aren’t really important.

People who have lacked family affection since childhood long for real family the most.

She understood her, so she wanted Lily to feel it once.

Even if she had to use some tactics, Scarlett would make them willingly acknowledge Lily Phoenix’s existence.

Then, sincerely regret losing Lily Phoenix as their biological daughter.

The carriage bearers couldn’t hear Scarlett as she spoke softly, nor did they dare ask.

The group carefully carried Scarlett back to the small courtyard, unaware that a middle-aged man in brocade was approaching from the veranda, frowning upon seeing the carriage.

Recently, no concubine in the mansion was pregnant, so why was a carriage needed for a trip?

The grandeur almost matched that of him, the lord of the house.

Hudson Phoenix thought to himself that he’d have the lady set things straight later, even in the cold weather, needing a carriage just for paying respects was simply spoiling both concubines and children.

When he arrived at the main courtyard and heard about Lily Phoenix’s earlier outburst, Hudson Phoenix was taken aback.

"Are you sure you’re talking about Lily Phoenix?"

No wonder he found it incredible; Lily Phoenix had always appeared humble and meek, distinctly different from the meticulously raised Edith of the Phoenix family.

If not, Hudson wouldn’t have allowed his wife to arrange things as she did for their biological daughter.

She wasn’t fit to be a child of the Phoenix family.

Seeing Lady Phoenix nod, Hudson fell silent momentarily.

He trusted his wife wasn’t lying, so it must be true.

After pondering a while, Hudson first commended his wife for choosing to pacify rather than move rashly.

"It seems this daughter is hiding things from us. She might have been pretending all along since returning home."

Lady Phoenix was angry at this,

"If she has been pretending, this child is too scheming! She is our biological daughter, how rebellious and unfilial!"

Hudson was indifferent,

"A child raised in the countryside is just like that, skilled at deception. Maybe seeing the facade useless, she revealed her true nature."

As he spoke, he glanced sharply at Madam Liao,
