Reflecting on yesterday’s confrontation with Emily Hearne, it was no lie to say her feelings were complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Luca Jennings beside her, she said, “You wait outside for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clan grounds did not allow non-clan members to enter freely, though Aaron Hearne did deliver dowries as a “family member” back then. But some in the clan didn’t welcome humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Magnolia Hearne did not wish for Luca Jennings, a normal person, to become deeply involved with the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Jennings had been to the Hearne Gardens before, knowing it wasn’t easy to enter, and didn’t insist, only saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll wait outside for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then added, “I had everything prepared, but don’t force yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne was easily amenable with Luca Jennings, responded affirmatively, and proceeded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vermilion door automatically closed after Magnolia Hearne entered, not treating Luca Jennings standing outside as a valid target for entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca Jennings, unfazed, walked back to the car and waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Magnolia Hearne went straight to the courtyard where Emily Hearne resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew she and Scarlett Jennings had returned to the Jennings Family in Sea City; some expressed surprise that she’d come back so soon but dared not ask about her affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, asking wrong would earn them a scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though young in demon years, she even scolds Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily Hearne was somewhat surprised by Magnolia Hearne’s return, not expecting her to come for punishment, since all grievances had been aired yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could prompt her hasty return, she wondered if something went wrong with Scarlett?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Emily pondered, she heard Magnolia Hearne finally speak, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know everything now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily Hearne raised an eyebrow, hearing her continue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About you and my father, Scarlett let me see it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Magnolia Hearne raised her hand, tossing out the fox fur Scarlett Jennings used to store memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox fur transformed in mid-air into spiritual lights, then replayed the memory fragments recorded in Scarlett Jennings’s Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly seeing those familiar faces in the area outside her Mind Domain, Emily Hearne’s eyes trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched that person, who treated her so carefully, entangled with her expectantly, her thoughts seemingly pulled back to that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most mundane yet happiest time in her fox life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image flashed by lightly before being swiftly gathered by Magnolia Hearne, looking at Emily Heame with persistent eyes but lacking yesterday’s confrontational attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always thought… you didn’t love him, not even me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne said, “If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have known you once had such a time together; I… I misunderstood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her, Emily Hearne observed as the other lowered her eyes slightly, her voice seemingly constrained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just don’t understand… why you’ve never been willing to explain to me? Why you refused to clear things up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily Hearne listened quietly for a long while, only asking her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want to hear from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne raised her eyes, focusing intently on her without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you abandon us? Why didn’t you save him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why have you been indifferent to me all these years…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her questions seemed anticipated, yet Emily Hearne did not answer immediately, instead maintaining her demeanor, she looked at her and countered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you know everything already? Why ask me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a memory fragment to trick her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting caught out, Magnolia Hearne was unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett said deceiving was the first step; if gentle methods failed, then proceed to the second step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Use force.\u003C\u002Fp>",1258,"2026-06-10T07:19:03.306Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f6d3082b5d69b8f5ee99934ba9d707207f83c3a7e4e5ea27f30161b5c0ca4bc","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1108","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1106",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
