The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Your Sister, My Mother, Her Grandmother

Though she was asleep, from Scarlett Jennings’ perspective, she could still see the black, evil presence faintly weaving into her Demon Energy.

Like the evil presence resembling black mist that she had just glimpsed outside.

The evil presence attached to Emily Hearne’s Demon Energy appeared more like a tangible blackness.

Sticky and black, almost like a festering wound, a single glance can provoke a feeling of disgust.

This was precisely what Ethan referred to as the true evil presence.

Upon closer inspection, the Soul Tree behind Emily Hearne seemed to have been overtaken by such blackness, starting from the roots and seemingly intent on swallowing the entire tree.

"Why is it you two?"

Upon seeing them, Ianthe Hearne, who had initially appeared fierce and ready to attack, finally let go of her murderous intent.

Yet, her expression remained somber as she looked at them.

Knowing Emily Hearne’s arrangement, the last thing Ianthe Hearne wanted was to see Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne here.

Scarlett is the Ten-tailed and the ultimate target for Shu’e’s intrusion.

And Qi Qi, she is the one whom her sister was worried about sending out of the Barrier before she went into self-imposed seclusion.

Even though they were already sent outside the Barrier, how did these two get back?

Clearly, now was not the time to question how the two entered; seeing Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne approach, Ianthe Hearne immediately extended a Fox Tail to block them.

"Don’t get too close."

Ianthe Hearne said,

"Even though she’s in a state of self-imposed seclusion, the evil presence entangled with her might also affect those near her."

Just as it affected her earlier.

If she hadn’t been influenced, how could she have failed to detect their scent immediately?

"What’s the matter with her and the Soul Tree?"

Magnolia Hearne looked at the now transformed Emily Hearne, unable to conceal the worry in her eyes.

Ianthe Hearne glanced at her and finally explained,

"We all thought it was Elder Ethan who had been controlled by Shu’e and hidden within the family, but actually, Shu’e’s evil presence had transferred into Luke Hearne’s Divine Soul from the beginning."

No one expected that Luke Hearne had been parasitized by Shu’e’s evil presence since birth, and he was the grandson of Elder Noah.

No one ever suspected, including Emily Hearne.

Only when she realized it, the evil presence in Luke Hearne’s Divine Soul had already seeped into the Soul Tree with demonic power.

"To prevent the Soul Tree from being further consumed, my sister moved it alone into the Mind Domain, but Shu’e’s intent from the beginning was to intrude into my sister’s Mind Domain."

To prevent herself from being controlled by the evil presence, after activating the family Barrier, my sister sealed her self-awareness."

This means no sound from them, nor anything from outside, can reach Emily Hearne’s ears now.

Once her Mind Domain is closed, no one can enter.

Hence, no one could know what was happening within the Mind Domain.

But judging by the current situation of her eroded Demon Energy, the condition inside the Domain was not good.

"You shouldn’t have come."

Ianthe Hearne said truthfully.

"There’s no such thing as should or shouldn’t, if you want to talk about responsibility, Grandmother shouldn’t have borne all of Shu’e’s evil presence alone."

Scarlett Jennings said faintly, looking at Ianthe Hearne, "You shouldn’t be staying here either."

Ianthe Hearne was rendered speechless,

"How is that the same? She’s my sister!"

Magnolia Hearne quickly retorted, "She’s also my mother! My child’s grandmother!"

One sentence left Ianthe Hearne without any words of rebuttal.

After a long pause, she finally said,
