The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Scarlett Jennings’ First-Mover Advantage

Althea watched as Scarlett didn’t directly refuse, nor accepted, but simply rested her chin in her palm, seeing how Scarlett would respond.

Then she saw Scarlett Jennings take a stack of yellow paper from beside her and start cutting paper in front of her.

Althea: ???

Scarlett didn’t offer much explanation, swiftly cutting a stack of little papermen. She found a place abundant with Spiritual Energy to set up an array and then cast a spell.

Although she still couldn’t use demonic power, in this space abundant with Spiritual Energy, her Spiritual Power had at least recovered to seventy percent.

With both hands forming seals, the surrounding Spiritual Energy followed the spell incantation she uttered.

In the next moment, the originally placed little papermen within the array stood up with a swish.

Althea raised her eyebrows, looking at the little papermen standing like an army, curious about what Scarlett was going to do.

Scarlett evenly infused Spiritual Power into the little papermen, along with a "command",

"The Prime Aspect Mansion is colluding with the State Preceptor at the Sacrificial Ceremony to create anomalies, attempting to use the pretext of a natural disaster to have the future Empress sacrifice her life to Heaven, thereby forcing Your Majesty to vacate the position and change the nation’s fate."

Scarlett’s straightforward words left Althea and the nearby Five-Colored Phoenix listening dumbfounded.

Scarlett didn’t immediately explain, transmitting the command to the little papermen, and then waved her hand,

"Go!"

As soon as the decree was issued, the originally standing little papermen instantly rose into the air, flying out of the palace garden like birds and quickly dispersing in all directions.

After finishing this, Scarlett then explained to Althea,

"Public opinion matters when it comes to having the first move advantage; humans often have a deep impression of the first piece of gossip they hear, making rumors ten times harder to refute later."

Scarlett said this, giving Althea a slight smile,

"Thanks to you, I was able to react first and take the initiative."

She spread such rumors first so that when news from the Sacrificial Ceremony came back, it would only serve as evidence to validate the first piece of gossip.

Her intention was to shift the perception of the Sacrificial Ceremony among the populace to be an intentional manipulation by the Prime Aspect Mansion and the State Preceptor, shifting their focus from so-called Heavenly intent to conspiracy.

And for many, gossip about imperial matters can prompt more public debate than national affairs.

As for any evidence proving it was a conspiracy between the Prime Aspect and the State Preceptor?

Who says one needs evidence to take preemptive action?

In such matters, whoever stands to benefit most is often the prime suspect.

Her goal was to liberate herself and Samuel Chalmers from the trap of the so-called Phoenix Goddess sacrifices.

Scarlett’s explanation wasn’t complicated, and Althea naturally understood her intention of having the first move advantage.

She got interested, glancing at the little papermen that had scattered, and with a thought, took out a few strands of fox fur and blew gently.

Instantly, the fox fur turned into several small Spirit Foxes, chasing after the little papermen.

She didn’t intend to interfere; she just wanted to watch the show.

Thus, before people from the Prime Aspect Mansion started moving, Scarlett’s little papermen had already quickly spread throughout the city.

At a speed too fast for people to see, they attached themselves to the backs of passersby. The next second, those with papermen attached to them heard a whispering voice in their ear,

"#%&... this and that... %#!"

Suddenly hearing a whisper in their ear while walking with friends, the startled passersby covered their ears,
