The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: As If Seeing a Dead Man

According to the previous agreement, Althea transformed into Arwen’s likeness and roamed the palace for two days.

When Madam Li returned from illness and saw Arwen, she seemed a bit dazed.

Althea merely nodded faintly to this so-called teacher of Arwen and then wandered off elsewhere on her own.

It seemed she wasn’t the least bit worried that her deception of not being Arwen would be uncovered.

Or perhaps, she simply didn’t care.

Fortunately, after Madam Li’s initial surprise, she chose to remain silent.

She didn’t know who this person posing as Arwen was, but she certainly wasn’t her apprentice.

Her apprentice was already dead.

Althea continued to wander the palace under Arwen’s guise for two days, but the imagined mastermind never made an appearance.

Moreover, the Array that was originally merely damaged, spontaneously destroyed itself this very night.

The Array lost its power, and even the evil thoughts hidden within vanished.

The courtyard where Scarlett was still stood, as did the low platform and the four people holding cards.

After playing a pair of cards, Scarlett said,

"Perhaps the enemy never intended to repair the Array, or maybe they knew we were laying a trap, so to avoid exposure, they destroyed the Array themselves."

She spoke, glancing at the others, summarizing,

"No matter the reason, it shows that the Array wasn’t that important."

At least, it wasn’t crucial.

Althea listened absentmindedly, her eyes only on her own cards, casually saying,

"I told you you’re making it complicated. You should have let Damian destroy that Array from the start, to show who’s really protecting the Royal Palace here. If the person behind it stays hidden, so be it; if they dare show up, they’ll be silenced."

With that, she slammed down a pair of twos.

Neither Damian nor Samuel followed her play. Althea quickly completed her hand, exclaiming happily,

"I won!"

She then turned around, grabbed a slip of paper, and stuck it onto the foreheads of the three. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Sitting by the stove, Five-Colored put down her eggshell, clapped her hands in applause, and in a childlike voice said,

"Althea, win, amazing."

Although only three days old, Five-Colored had grown quickly, now reaching over twenty centimeters tall as a plump little child, with even her tiny clothes hurriedly made overnight by the tailoring bureau.

When asked why, they said Miss Phoenix had taken a liking to making dolls and needed custom clothing for them.

Initially, Scarlett was worried that the Phoenix’s birth might require a nanny or goat milk, but Damian, experienced as he was, said directly, "He’ll handle it himself."

Scarlett was puzzled at the time, wondering how the small child would manage.

She then saw Five-Colored start breaking pieces off her Phoenix Egg shell and eating them like a biscuit.

Scarlett learned then that Phoenix Eggs were rich in nutrients for Phoenixes, and typically, newborn Phoenixes would consume the shell, absorbing its strength and using it for growth.

So even while consuming only the eggshell these past two days, Five-Colored had visibly grown.

Seeing her little brother so supportive, Althea wasn’t stingy with her generosity as the leader, pouring her milk tea into his half-empty eggshell.

Little Five-Colored’s eyes brightened, lifting the massive eggshell to drink, gulping down the milk tea, not forgetting to raise the shell,

"Sweet, more!"

This time, Althea didn’t need to move. Susan, the little Phoenix, flew over from the stove, grabbing the teapot handle and pouring milk tea into the eggshell held by Five-Colored.

Five-Colored was once again elated, holding the eggshell, biting it, and drinking from it, thoroughly enjoying himself.
