The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: The Imperial Decree—No One Came in Vain

The voices of the two were not loud, yet clear enough for the guards in the courtyard to hear everything distinctly.

However, everyone simply stared straight ahead, serious and solemn, as if they hadn’t heard a thing.

Why Your Majesty referred to Miss Phoenix as Scarlett and why the Emperor referred to himself as "I" instead of "We" were things they did not concern themselves with.

Their responsibility was solely the safety of Your Majesty.

Although Samuel Chalmers said he would take Scarlett Jennings back to the palace with him, taking her away on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony was rather disrespectful. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

They arranged for Scarlett Jennings to stay one more day at the Phoenix Family residence to handle and untangle the disputes between Lily Phoenix and the Phoenix Family.

However, since he was already here, Samuel Chalmers had no intention of leaving empty-handed.

Thus, before the guests in the front courtyard had dispersed, the Phoenix Estate once again received people from the Mystical Auditory Office.

The Mystical Auditory Office, under the direct control of the Emperor, was a department specializing in handling supernatural events from the capital to the Heavenly Origin. Those serving in the office often had some familiarity with mystical magic, something ordinary people could not easily encounter.

Initially, with Hudson Phoenix’s status, the situations concerning Jordan Phoenix and Keith Phoenix could also have been handled through the Mystical Auditory Office. However, Hudson Phoenix did not want the Phoenix Estate’s reputation damaged, which might affect Edith Phoenix’s entry into the palace.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Mystical Auditory Office came knocking of their own accord.

It was not to address the "issues" of the two Phoenix brothers.

"By order of Your Majesty, it has been verified that the Phoenix Estate’s adopted daughter, Edith Phoenix, colluded with a Wicked Phantom to create a false Phoenix illusion, intending to deceive the public. Edith Phoenix is now to be taken back to the Mystical Auditory Office awaiting further decrees."

The head of the Mystical Auditory Office personally came to announce the decree, and with his command, Edith Phoenix, who had previously been removed due to "noise," was once again brought up, then taken over by the Mystical Auditory Office personnel.

When Edith Phoenix heard she was to be taken away, she was utterly stunned.

Colluding with a Wicked Phantom? She hadn’t!

She was clearly the Heaven’s Chosen Daughter, chosen and protected by the true Phoenix. The one deceiving people with sorcery was Lily Phoenix!

"You’ve made a mistake! I didn’t collude with a Wicked Phantom! Lily Phoenix is the one who did, you’ve got the wrong person!"

Edith Phoenix shrieked in defense, seeing the Mystical Auditory Office people unmoved, panic flashed through her heart, even casting doubt on the authenticity of the true Phoenix lord.

Yet, even so, she could not resign herself to being taken away just like that.

This was her coming-of-age ceremony!

Edith Phoenix had no choice but to plead for help from Lady Phoenix and Hudson Phoenix,

"Father! Mother! Help me! I’m falsely accused, wuwuwu..."

After caring and nurturing their adopted daughter with all their heart for fifteen years, Lady Phoenix, seeing her in this state, couldn’t help but feel heartache,

"Sir, could there be a misunderstanding here? You really have the wrong person..."

She wanted to say, by their words, Lily Phoenix was more likely to be the one bewitching people with sorcery.

But she had no chance to say it before Hudson Phoenix immediately suppressed her.

If it weren’t for the presence of so many people, he would have called her a fool.

At this point, could she still not see clearly?

Not to mention, their biological daughter was likely genuinely under the protection of the Phoenix. Even if she were not, with the Emperor personally present, if He said she was true, then she had to be true.

The Mystical Auditory Office was clearly acting on Your Majesty’s decree. The Emperor had already made a decision; how could she add more words!

Lady Phoenix, held back by Hudson Phoenix to prevent her further foolishness, was even indicated by a nearby old maid to be directly taken away.

Yet, before he could act, Samuel Chalmers had already returned to face everyone in the front courtyard with Scarlett Jennings.

Glancing at Edith Phoenix still struggling, Samuel Chalmers merely looked towards Lady Phoenix,

"Lady Phoenix feels my Mystical Auditory Office captured the wrong person, then who do you think should be captured?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Phoenix instinctively glanced at "Lily Phoenix" beside Samuel Chalmers.

Though wanting to say it should be her, with Hudson Phoenix’s earlier restraint, and seeing Your Majesty as a clear supportive figure, she knew well this was not something to be said, especially in front of Your Majesty.
