besides mentoring Donovan, he turned into a heartless money-making automaton, investing all his energy in work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Odessa felt incredibly sorry for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was also grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How wonderful it was that there were no other women by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Madame Jennings brought home Azura Loomis, explaining that since the house was full of boys, a little girl should be added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her heart, Odessa knew that Madame Jennings wanted Azura to replace Scarlett as Luca’s daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luca had not given in for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa also gained insight from this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luca wanted a daughter, she could give him one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa knew the rules of the Jennings Family and dared not do anything inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Luca’s temperament, once he sensed her feelings for him, she would definitely not be able to stay in the Jennings Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she wasn’t that foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she wanted was to let her daughter replace Scarlett and become his child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rounded up, that would be a child she shared with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this little scheme in mind, after several years of striving with Michael, they finally had Ismeria Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the time Ismeria was cognizant, she always encouraged her to get close to Luca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when Ismeria was two years old, she had hinted at wanting Ismeria to move into the Princess Room that Luca had prepared especially for his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted Ismeria to gradually take the place of that woman’s child in the depth of Luca’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Luca did not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing his daughter, that room became his only consolation; even if he never stepped foot in it, it was always the place he left for his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for his own niece, he did not want her to take over what should belong to his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, after his biological daughter came back, that room became comparatively less significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s also why, after Scarlett came back home, Odessa once again set her sights on that room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not for any other reason, but simply because she doesn’t want that woman’s daughter to live so comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Odessa has repressed her feelings, not daring to reveal a hint of her love for Luca Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more she does this, the less she wants to interact with him merely as his brother’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They live under the same roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the time they actually meet and interact is extremely scarce!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention spending time together privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa always feels it’s because they’re under the Jennings Family’s roof that they naturally restrain their emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could bump into each other outside, perhaps things would be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These years, she hasn’t stopped trying to create such opportunities, coincidentally going to the same restaurant as him when he’s dining with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he accompanies the grandmother to social events, she follows under the guise of taking care of the elderly lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the effects are almost nil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa thinks it’s better to stay away from the Jennings Family; without those hindering factors, the situation should improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity with that variety show is perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city he’s traveling to for business isn’t a famous scenic city, so she can’t go there under the guise of tourism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are going for work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she runs into some “difficulty” at the show, she can directly seek his help, and in doing so, their interactions would naturally become more frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that dissatisfies her is that among the invited guests on the show, there is also a female celebrity who has been away from the screen for many years and is of higher status than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always been overshadowed by that person when acting in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she’s re-emerging in front of the camera, she can’t be overshadowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am now the Second Madam of the Jennings Family after all, and when I reappear on screen, I represent the face of the Jennings Family. I can’t still be overshadowed by a has-been celebrity. Michael suggested that I simply not go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Michael’s logic, that means, as long as you don’t go, no one can overshadow your status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What absurd reasoning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa looks at Azura Loomis, feigning distress,“Violet has started elementary school, and I can’t always revolve around the child. I want to do some work that I like from time to time. After all, people need to enrich themselves to feel fulfilled. Azura, you agree, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shares these thoughts with Azura in hopes of borrowing Azura’s “good fortune” for success and, ideally, preventing that other person from participating in the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Azura understands what Odessa means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, it’s exactly this type of “fortune” that has continuously increased Odessa’s Goodwill Value toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the past, Odessa wouldn’t show her intentions to Azura this openly and blatantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she’s treating herself as a wishing charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azura secretly disdains this, but on the surface, she still plays the part of being sweet and submissive, “Aunt Odessa is right, you should go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa immediately beams with joy, “Azura, you’re such a good student, smart and capable. Do you have any solutions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azura shakes her head, feigning helplessness,“I’m just a foster child in the Jennings Family, how could I have any solution?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she speaks, not waiting for Odessa’s mood to turn sour, she looks at her with a soft voice,“But Aunt Odessa, you’re so excellent, surely you will achieve what you wish for even without doing anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa’s heart instantly steadies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, if Azura says so, then she will certainly achieve what she wishes for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azura, still smiling gently at Odessa’s joyful expression, holds nothing but contempt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of it as a bit of sweetness given before withdrawing fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the system to help her once, and then extracting a tenfold reward later doesn’t seem too excessive, right?\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.778Z",1,"novelbin.me","8017e17122cdd87ab0570727afab462ee1492859dfac095cae2f4b615185a97e","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-482","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-481",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
