The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Heavenly Path Oath

This statement is spoken by both Scarlett Jennings and Lily Phoenix at this moment.

Even with a blood bond, disappointment in a person sometimes takes only an instant.

Just like at this moment.

Hudson Phoenix was extremely angry, pointing at Scarlett Jennings,

"You, you’d rather believe this demon than your father, than your own big brother?! Are you really siding with this outsider to go against your own family?!"

Originally, he thought if this daughter understood magic, she might be of some help to him in the future.

But now, it seems she first went against her second brother, and then sided with a female ghost, showing no sign of being useful to him.

Scarlett Jennings, facing his questioning, just said indifferently,

"Though demon ghosts can lie, it’s easy to identify their lies."

She continued,

"If she dares to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, then what she says is true. Mr. Phoenix, and Lady Phoenix, dare you take an oath to the Heavenly Dao to vouch for your son?"

Having said that, Scarlett Jennings, not waiting for the two to speak, reminded them again,

"The Heavenly Path Oath is different from ordinary oaths; the one making the oath must be prepared for the backlash."

She pointed to Autumn,

"For example, if she swears an oath but cannot prove the karmic debt between her and Keith Phoenix, when she tries to harm him, she will immediately face heavenly punishment.

Conversely, if your oath vouching for him is false, you will also face the Heavenly Dao’s punishment."

The so-called judgment of truth is ordained by heaven.

No debate is necessary.

Lady Phoenix and Hudson Phoenix, who initially intended to speak up for their son, remained silent upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’s mention of heavenly punishment.

Evidently, they realized in their hearts what kind of "character" their son truly was.

The Phoenix couple remained silent, yet from over there, a voice, both masculine and feminine, suddenly emerged from Keith Phoenix’s mouth, firm and resolute,

"I swear to the Heavenly Dao, everything I say is true; everything I do is karmic retribution! If there is any falsehood, let me be struck by lightning, my soul scattered, and forever cast into the beast’s path!"

The decisive and steadfast oath reflected her former grievances.

Previously, she had nowhere to plead her case; even as a ghost, despite voicing her grievances, many were unwilling to believe her.

Yet now, someone was willing to listen to her story.

Even though they may not be able to uphold justice, she felt grateful towards them.

It must be said, Autumn’s oath startled not only the Phoenix couple but also Alexander Gibson standing nearby.

His sect taught him to eliminate demons and defend the path, to strike down anything evil, ghostly, or harmful without reason.

But... facing a ghost bold enough to swear such a Heavenly Path Oath, could he truly "act on behalf of heaven"?

Perhaps noticing everyone refraining from defending Keith Phoenix, even the Immortal Master was hesitating, Edith Phoenix, who had been pretending to be invisible, suddenly spoke up,

"Immortal Master, even if... everything she says is true, my big brother wasn’t responsible for her death, surely she can’t demand his life in return?"

Her reminder immediately revitalized Lady Phoenix and Hudson Phoenix,

"Exactly! My son’s hands did not cause her death! Even with a Heavenly Path Oath, how could the Heavenly Dao demand my son’s life in return?!"

She hoped this would persuade Alexander Gibson to save Keith, but unexpectedly, Alexander Gibson shook his head before gravely stating,

"Since she has sworn a Heavenly Path Oath, the matter between her and your son is beyond my interference."

"What do you mean?" Lady Phoenix asked, somewhat confused.

Alexander Gibson explained,

"It means that whatever she does next, right or wrong, will be determined by the Heavenly Dao."

If the Heavenly Dao judges her actions towards Keith Phoenix as wrong, heavenly punishment will descend upon her as she promised in her oath.

If judged right by the Heavenly Dao, even as a Master, he has no authority to punish her further.

At these words, Alexander Gibson couldn’t help but glance at Scarlett Jennings.
