How could Edith possibly need to steal food like you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the accusation, Scarlett’s voice remained calm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, she has been claiming the Phoenix Family’s daughter status and occupying someone else’s nest for fifteen years. Hasn’t everything she’s been using and eating been stolen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Scarlett finished speaking, a momentary distortion crossed Edith’s face, but she quickly lowered her head, feigning sadness and shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids in the room bowed their heads in disbelief, wishing they didn’t have ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it wasn’t a secret to the close servants in the residence that Lily Phoenix was the real blood of the Phoenix Family, hearing it spoken so openly was still shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Phoenix, who had been silent in the room, finally slammed the table and sternly reprimanded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impudence! Leaving Edith as the daughter of our Phoenix Family was my decision. Do you now have an issue with my decision?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett wasn’t fond of verbal sparring, but since they questioned her, she replied earnestly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, did you just realize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked sincerely, but with those eyes, it inexplicably hinted at unspoken words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems you’re not blind yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan couldn’t stand seeing Edith wronged, let alone the fact that someone dared to oppose his mother. He stepped forward, trying to use his height to exert pressure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lily! Don’t talk about legitimate or illegitimate. The Phoenix Family acknowledges you only if they recognize you; otherwise, you’re nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your own misconduct aside, don’t try to put a hat on Edith! She’s different from you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In what way is she different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s different in every way! Look at your current bitter appearance; you can’t match Edith in the slightest! Edith would never deliberately defy father’s punishment like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan sneered, returning the topic to the start,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She wouldn’t steal from the kitchen after only three days of fasting, showing no backbone or manners. Just because of that, you’re unworthy of being the Phoenix Family’s young lady!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in front of his mother, he never hid his dislike for this biological sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought she shouldn’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of her return, Edith secretly shed tears for several days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only recently relieved, this person dared to scold her in front of Edith!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for his mother’s presence, he would have taught the girl in front of him a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating beside Scarlett, Lily, Jordan’s words were originally directed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t the first time she’d heard such words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her return to the mansion on the first day, many, including him, had said the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edith was the only young lady of the Phoenix Mansion, she couldn’t match even a strand of her hair, and those telling her not to foolishly contend with Edith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn’t the first time hearing this, her heart ached uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the family members she had once hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling some Resentful Energy leaking from Lily Phoenix’s Ghost Body next to her, Scarlett didn’t intend to suppress it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, not having resentment would be abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily, formerly a type who didn’t dare harbor resentment even after death, suppressed her Resentful Energy deep within her Soul Body, making her seem indifferent to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, only by venting and eliminating Resentful Energy could she truly embark on the path of Reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t fear her harboring resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she feared was that she didn’t even dare to harbor resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting her gaze from Lily beside her, Scarlett looked at Jordan Phoenix and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think fasting and dehydration for three days is no big deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan thought she was playing the victim, sneered, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really no big deal, no need to harp on about it. It’s not an excuse for stealing food!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett ignored his words, merely fixed her gaze on him, then slowly raised her hand and lightly tapped his shoulder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, remember what you said today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one saw Scarlett deliberately let her hand pass through Lily’s Ghost Body, pulling away the Resentful Energy and then transferring it onto Jordan’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan was taken aback by the sudden action, and more so by her gaze while speaking, giving him a strange feeling of discomfort, causing him to instinctively tilt his shoulder back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jordan glared with disdain and disgust,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Growing up outside, you don’t even understand the propriety between men and women? Truly lacking in upbringing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett did not reply to him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she’d prefer to mute him, Scarlett’s Spiritual Power was limited, and she didn’t want to waste it on a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Edith finally spoke again, her voice gentle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Lily, I know you’re resentful of me, but you really shouldn’t speak to Mother and Brother like this. It really hurts them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to hear her nonsense, Scarlett turned away, \"Shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edith: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Phoenix saw her maintaining this attitude and began to get angry again, but saw Scarlett looking back at her, this time bluntly stating her purpose for coming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t go to the manor. Since you’ve taken me back, be prepared that it’ll be easy to invite a god but hard to send them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I know there’s going to be a grand Coming of Age ceremony for the Phoenix Family’s young lady in seven days. I hope the Phoenix Mansion recognizes my status, or I won’t hesitate to claim it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having her own Coming of Age ceremony as the young lady of the Phoenix Family was Lily’s obsession, also her wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Scarlett promised her, before she avenges herself on the Phoenix Family, she will let everyone know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily Phoenix is the real young lady of the Phoenix Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Scarlett’s words didn’t register with Lady Phoenix or anyone in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Lily Phoenix could rant like this but could accomplish nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she refused to go to the manor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she wanted to restore her identity as the Phoenix Family young lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things were not up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her return, she lost the opportunity to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Phoenix couldn’t help but laugh lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing at her naivety and arrogance, \"Oh, and how do you plan to claim your identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her watch, isolated inside the mansion, she was indeed curious about what she could do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at her calmly, slowly uttering three words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prime Aspect Mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three words slightly froze the smile on Lady Phoenix’s face, and then, it suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-10T07:18:51.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","0065c6a5697f2436f89cef0f006a61f994e2b4d1a7a8ef50eff1145473c8ca54","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1050","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1048",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
