The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Tell Us Your Real Name

Just like Jenica said herself, even if a son really ended up in prison, it was not some earth–hattering

scandal

Several families in the town had men who had gone to prison, too.

People talked about it for a while at first, but after some time, everyone got used to it and stopped caring Life just went on as usual

Scarlett said, “Since you insist your son is dead, why have you never told anyone your real name, and why have you kept it hidden from everyone?”

After saying that, Scarlett looked at the neighbors and said, “Guys, Jessica has lived in our town for decades but has never told anyone her real name, doesn’t that seem strange to you?”

“Yeah, that’s right, why won’t Jessica even tell us her name?”

“Maybe her name just sounds kind of bad. People from that generation often had plain names, but everyone’s names were like that back then.”

“Mrs. Murdoch is here too. Mrs. Murdoch, aren’t you the closest with Jessica? Do you know her real name?”

The woman everyone called Mrs. Murdoch really was the closest to Jessica.

The two of them often sat under the big tree at the entrance of the town, gossiping about other people.

Whenever someone walked past the road at the entrance, they would stare at that person the whole time.

Once the person passed by, they would lean together and whisper about that person’s faults.

Even if there was nothing bad to say, they would still make things up.

Josie Murdoch was also standing in the crowd, watching the excitement.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Josie laughed and said, “Now that you mention it, that’s actually true. I’ve known Jessica for more than ten years, and we chat all the time, but I still don’t know her name. I’ve asked several times, and she always brushes it off.

“I never thought much about it before, but now that Scarlett brought it up, it really does seem strange. Jessica, what is your real name? Why won’t you even tell me, you’ve lived in this town for more than ten years, and you still can’t even say your name? Is it something that can’t be made public?”

“That really is strange. Why can’t she say her own name?”

“Exactly, what’s wrong with telling people your name?”

“The head of the town committee should be able to check it. We can just go ask Tad

For a moment, everyone forgot why they were gathered there in the first place.

Chapter 298 Tell Us Your Real Neme

Jessica had come to extort the Sanchezes, and they had originally been speaking up for the Suncher

Hendrix and Rory both looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett gave them a reassuring look.

From this day forward, Jessica would never be able to come extort the Sanchezes again.

Not only that, something much worse was waiting for her.

Does she really think she can hide forever after doing those things?

Does she really believe she can live out the rest of her life peacefully without any consequences?

That’s impossible.

Every evil thing a person did would eventually come back to them.

It was only that the time hadn’t come yet.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s just go ask the head of the town committee.”

Everyone suddenly grew curious about Jessica’s real name, and the more she refused to reveal it, the more they wanted to know what it was and why she had been hiding it.

“Why bother asking the head of the town committee? We can just ask Scarlett, she looks like she really can tell fortunes, so she must know Jessica’s real name, and she can probably tell whether Jessica’s son is really dead or actually in prison, and whether her daughter–in–law ran away with someone or died.”

Jessica absolutely could not let Scarlett say her real name or reveal what happened in the past.

She did not believe Scarlett could tell fortunes, but since Scarlett already knew her son was in prison and her daughter–in–law was dead.

Maybe she had heard something somewhere.

Under no circumstances could she allow Scarlett to say her real name or reveal what happened back then.

Otherwise, people would curse her everywhere she went.

That was exactly why she had moved away with her grandson back then.

Jessica wailed loudly, “You shameless girl, you just don’t want to give me the 1,000 dollars every month, because of you, Leona stopped supporting my family. I’m an old woman raising my grandson alone, so where am I supposed to get money from?

“I’m only asking for that 1,000 because I have no other choice, and now just because of that money you’re trying to smear my name and frame me, you heartless girl, sooner or later you’ll get what you deserve.”

“Mildred, I’ve already told you,” Scarlett’s voice was icy. “The one who will face the consequences is you. You and your son drove your daughter–in–law to death. Do you really think hiding here for 14 years means no one will ever find out and you’ll be able to live out the rest of your life peacefully?”

When Scarlett said that, the neighbors froze.

Someone hesitated and said, ‘Mildred? Is Jessica’s name Mildred? That sounds familiar.”

“I think I’ve heard that name somewhere, too.”

“Mildred actually sounds like a pretty normal name. Why has Jessica been hiding it all this time?”

Some neighbors felt the name sounded familiar.

Others simply thought the name sounded fine and could not understand why she had been hiding it.
