The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1155

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Letting Go by Force Is Still Letting Go

Luca Jennings has always been a decisive person, especially at his age, and he’s not one to feel shy or hesitant about pursuing a partner he desires.

Although the situation was not quite what he had anticipated, Luca Jennings quickly solidified his choice amidst the change.

He was direct enough, yet the words left Magnolia Hearne quite stunned.

Not only her, but even Scarlett Jennings, who had expressly come out to help Magnolia Hearne, was a bit taken aback.

Her father from the Otherworld wasn’t even angry at being seen as a stand-in, he didn’t mind the slightest bit, he truly had decided on her mother.

This situation... is quite complex.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but look at Magnolia Hearne, wanting to say she was out of ideas.

Not only Scarlett Jennings was at a loss, but Magnolia herself also felt at a loss.

She didn’t know how to persuade the other party to give up this thought.

Maybe the conflict in her eyes was too evident, so Luca Jennings didn’t demand an immediate answer from her, he only said,

"I’ll be staying around here for the foreseeable future."

He said this while pointing to a spot two villas away, stating,

"That’s my house over here, if you ever decide, you can come find me anytime. Of course, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me as well."

After he finished speaking, Luca Jennings didn’t linger. He politely took his leave and turned to walk toward his villa in Serenity Garden.

Magnolia Hearne watched him leave, feeling a bit dizzy, she closed the door and returned to the villa with Scarlett Jennings.

There, in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, Stella Gibson and the others were crowded together, "spying," and as the two returned, they nonchalantly went back to the dining room to continue their unfinished breakfast.

Magnolia Hearne didn’t disclose what Luca Jennings came for, but Stella and others couldn’t hide their gossiping curiosity.

Being the junior, she didn’t think it was appropriate to ask directly and instead nudged the little porcelain doll.

Five-Colored, ranking even above Emily Hearne in seniority, could naturally ask outright, so he straightforwardly questioned,

"They want to know what you think? Are you going to temporarily accept this world’s Luca Jennings?"

Being asked such things in front of a group of juniors made Magnolia Hearne feel a bit embarrassed.

No matter the distance, Stella and the others definitely couldn’t hear their conversation at the door, but among them was Jasmine Hamilton whose demonic power remained unaffected.

Magnolia Hearne cast a faint glance at her.

Jasmine Hamilton immediately looked innocent yet guilty, "They wanted to know what you talked about, so I... recited."

Amber Livingston, seeing Jasmine’s predicament, hurriedly added, "That’s right, it was all our curiosity that forced Jasmine to speak, please don’t blame her."

Magnolia Hearne let out a light hum, choosing not to quarrel with the juniors, gathered her thoughts, and calmly replied to Five-Colored’s earlier question,

"We won’t be staying here indefinitely; I’ll find time to refuse him. Don’t get distracted by these matters and forget the main business."

The answer had long been settled; she just hadn’t figured out how to refuse without causing him pain.

If she had truly wanted anything with the Otherworld’s Luca Jennings, she had countless opportunities in the past eighteen years.

Since she hadn’t willingly approached, it indicated her stance.

Stella Gibson, hearing her answer devoid of any nostalgia, couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"

Aren’t they both Luca Jennings?

Magnolia Hearne gave her a faint look and countered,

"Would you accept Ashton Todd from the Otherworld replacing the original Ashton Todd?"

At these words, Stella Gibson startled, almost instinctively responding, "How could that be acceptable?!"

Ashton Todd from the Otherworld and the Ashton Todd she knew were two different people entirely.

In just an instant, Stella understood.

Nobody else pressed for an answer to the question; after breakfast, they all returned to their rooms to pack things.

Upstairs, Magnolia Hearne and Scarlett Jennings didn’t say a word, thinking she might be bothered, Scarlett couldn’t help asking what she was thinking.

Scarlett Jennings fell silent for a moment upon hearing, only saying, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Magnolia Hearne looked to Scarlett Jennings and simply stated,

"I think Althea must have let go by then too."

Scarlett heard her and her eyes flickered, a part of her mind seemed to lighten and gradually cleared.

While the mother and daughter quietly conversed upstairs, suddenly Jasmine Hamilton sensed something and signaled the others to come down.

Scarlett and Magnolia Hearne went downstairs, seeing Jasmine and the others gathered around a notebook. At that moment, the one handling the notebook was Amber Livingston.

Feeling puzzled, they approached only to find Amber Livingston’s screen displaying a blurry, enlarged screenshot.

The background of the screenshot looked like a war-torn ruin, with a dozen dirty, disheveled people squatting in front.

On the surface, there might not seem to be anything significant about the screenshot, but what truly suffocated them were the glaring eight words on the image—

[Organ Trafficking, Pick Your Goods Onsite.]

Scarlett Jennings’ eyes clouded.

It wasn’t only because of those eight words but also because she felt "malice" in the screenshot...

The malevolent intent from this world’s Shu’e.

"What is this?" she asked.

Amber Livingston said,

"This was sent to me by an overseas fan, saying it’s from an... organ trafficking live broadcast on the dark web."

Amber Livingston didn’t know why Jasmine suddenly took an interest in this.

But regarding organ trafficking, he had only heard about it.

Westerly is the only country in the world where human organ trafficking is legalized, and these people, whose organs are trafficked, are called "human animals."

Feeling the ill-intent almost piercing through the screen, Scarlett Jennings thought she probably figured out what bargaining chip to use in dealing with the Otherworld Heavens.
