The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: A Slap Across the Air

"On my first day back at the mansion, you tried to make a show of strength for the sake of your dear sister, deliberately ordering the servants to swap my meals. The food sent here was all spoiled and foul-smelling. I ate such meals for a whole half a month."

Scarlett Jennings’ voice was cold and deep, looking at Jordan Phoenix as if looking at a dead person, with a tone of sarcasm,

"I didn’t say anything after eating for half a month, and you can’t take just one meal?"

Upon hearing her straightforward admission that it was her doing, Lady Phoenix was initially furious, but after hearing this, she was somewhat incredulous.

"Half a month?!"

Wasn’t it just one meal?

Seeing her reaction, the coldness in Scarlett’s eyes deepened,

"It seems that Lady Phoenix also knew about this, knowing full well yet allowing your own son to mistreat your biological daughter. The Phoenix Family truly lives up to its reputation as a model of noble conduct and etiquette in the capital."

Scarlett would generally not resort to sarcasm, unless she couldn’t hold back.

Next to them, Lily Phoenix was also stunned by Lady Phoenix’s reaction.

Everything Scarlett knew, she naturally learned from her.

But she didn’t know that her mother was aware of it back then.

Knowing, yet allowing Jordan to treat her this way...

This was her biological mother... Ha.

Lady Phoenix couldn’t see Lily’s eyes at that moment, but she could see the mocking coldness in Scarlett’s eyes, and couldn’t help but explain,

"I didn’t know! I thought it was just one meal. I didn’t know he had people send spoiled food for half a month. If I had known, I..."

Lady Phoenix truly didn’t know.

At the time, when she heard what Jordan had done, she just thought it was a child’s way of venting dissatisfaction with a prank, so she didn’t intervene.

She simply said that as long as it wasn’t too extreme, there was no need to specifically report it to her.

Afterwards, whether seeing Lily or from the servants, she didn’t hear anything negative, so she thought nothing further had happened.

She truly didn’t know that Jordan had continued for half a month!

Even if she didn’t like this daughter, she would not stoop to mistreating her with spoiled food.

She was at least that well-educated!

Jordan Phoenix was also stunned upon hearing Scarlett’s words.

If she hadn’t brought it up, he would indeed have forgotten about this, but when she mentioned it, he remembered.

However... he was sure he only ordered spoiled food for seven days.

Jordan didn’t think she would lie about the duration, so who was responsible for the extra seven days?!

He wanted to argue, but then remembered that because it was difficult to arrange things within the inner courtyard at the time, he had Edith’s maid carry out the task.

So from seven days to half a month, could it have been Edith...

As soon as the thought arose, Jordan quickly dismissed it.

No, it definitely wasn’t her.

Edith was so kind; how could she deliberately prolong Lily’s suffering? Even the idea of swapping in spoiled food was his own.

It must have been Edith’s maid who couldn’t bear to see it and took matters into her own hands to get back at Lily.

Yes, it must be that way.

Thinking this, Jordan turned his head and unexpectedly saw Edith looking somewhat guilty.

Jordan: ...

He couldn’t quite describe how he felt at that moment, just a sense that Edith suddenly seemed less perfect.

He couldn’t quite believe it, wanted to find an excuse for her, but couldn’t think of how to do it.

Though a bit disappointed, she was still the sister he’d loved for many years, and Jordan chose to keep silent, accepting the situation.

Anyway... there’s not much difference between seven days and half a month. No need to let Edith suffer revenge as well.

"Even if it’s like this, it doesn’t justify you targeting me! I’m your brother!"

"Don’t insult the word ’brother’; you’re not worthy."
