Without you, it feels like the house is stuck in autumn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett patted her on the head and simply said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s actually autumn right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ismeria found this reasonable, nodded, and as if recalling something, beckoned Scarlett over,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Scarlett, bend down a bit, I have a secret to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Scarlett crouched down, and Ismeria immediately leaned into her ear and mysteriously said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, soon I’ll have a little brother or sister, because my dad is pregnant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a coincidence, she knew about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ismeria had actually learned online that men cannot have babies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But precisely because of that, she thought her dad was amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other dads couldn’t do it, but her dad could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a pity that her brother wouldn’t let her tell anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, her friends would surely be very envious of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother said not to tell anyone about this, but since you’re family, I told you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ismeria said this, she gazed at Scarlett, her little expression seemed to say, see how close we are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s lips curled slightly, suddenly her eyes shifted, and she asked Ismeria,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you congratulate your dad on this matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded of this, Ismeria’s little face suddenly froze, followed by a look of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, I forgot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother didn’t let her spread it around and told her to act like she didn’t know, so Ismeria forgot about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Scarlett was right, she needed to congratulate her dad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Ismeria turned and ran back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dinnertime, hearing that Michael Jennings was not in a good mood and didn’t want to come out to eat, Scarlett felt not the slightest guilt and happily devoured two bowls of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Flora Xalvadora merely said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re right, you shouldn’t live alone outside by yourself, or you’re likely not eating well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at how hungry this child was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling she had acted like a generous sister, Ismeria rewarded herself with two bowls of rice that evening as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chase Jennings, he put his chopsticks down after just half a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m full.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flora Xalvadora watched worriedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why haven’t you had much of an appetite these past two days? You even look slimmer…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second uncle had a change of taste due to a false pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own son couldn’t also be having a false pregnancy, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flora Xalvadora expressed her concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings, sitting nearby, also turned worriedly towards his big brother, “Indeed, my brother’s little belly is gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase was speechless, turning his head, “I don’t have a little belly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t exercise as regularly as Brother Donovan, it wasn’t to the extent of having a little belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, just a bit of flab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s long gone now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Lucas’s words, Scarlett just tilted her head slightly, glanced at Chase, then quickly retracted her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she looked towards Adam Jennings on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Michael’s situation, Adam was uneasy and had been coming straight back to the Jennings Family after class for the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about another matter in mind, after dinner, she directly sought out Adam and handed over the finished Benedict Jade piece to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Fire Thunder suddenly descended that day, she had observed the Jade piece for three days, and besides being more concentrated in spiritual energy, there was no abnormality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with the agreed three-month deadline with Adam nearing, she had to uphold her professional integrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam hadn’t even hoped for the Benedict Jade piece when she mentioned she would give it to Kingston Jennings for soul nourishment; seeing the finished piece now, his eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he uncertainly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This, for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at him somewhat inexplicably, “Isn’t it what you paid to have custom-made?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s all this about giving or not giving, this was a straightforward transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam seemed to think his reaction was silly, coughed awkwardly, and directly took the Benedict Jade piece, thinking for a moment, he still said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, he had seen how busy she was, juggling her studies, the shows, and with things constantly happening at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That she found time to complete the Benedict Jade piece showed she highly valued her promise to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, being her cousin probably held some weight in her heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pondering this, Adam expressed genuine thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett ignored his peculiar trains of thought, simply saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Benedict Jade piece is quite special; it belongs to the category of Spirit Awakening artifacts, so you must remember to carefully maintain it after receiving it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t know what a spiritual artifact was but sensed it wasn’t ordinary,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I maintain it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With spiritual energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett said, “You can place jade stones with spiritual energy around it, and once the stones’ colors fade, replace them with new ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Adam had heard of maintaining a Jade piece with additional gemstones, but his trust in Scarlett was absolute now, and he immediately took note, then asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can I tell which stones have spiritual energy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent for a moment, she pointed to the Benedict Jade piece in his hand, “It will tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, though he didn’t understand, following instructions sufficed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the handover of the Benedict Jade piece with Adam, Scarlett returned to her room, only to unexpectedly find Chase waiting outside her door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards Chase, Scarlett’s attitude was even cooler than towards Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him staring at her with a complex expression, saying nothing, Scarlett had no intention of striking up a conversation and walked past him, opening the door to go inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chase hurried to follow her, but Scarlett pulled the door halfway shut,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase, blocked outside, held his composure and spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have something to talk to you about; let me come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett remained unmoved, “Say it here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Scarlett genuinely not intending to let him in, Chase hesitated for two seconds, then suggested, “Let’s talk in the small lounge next to here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing she wouldn’t bother with him, Chase added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s really important, and it’s paid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Scarlett move her feet to accompany him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the small third-floor lounge, Chase first closed the door and then turned to Scarlett. After a while, somewhat awkward and tense, he began,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett Jennings, I feel something is off with me, can you check if I’ve… also, been affected?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett raised an eyebrow, “Affected?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mumbled for a while before finally biting the bullet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like second uncle with that… false pregnancy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1217,"2026-06-10T07:18:34.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","0da8b19ee7c3eb140bc198209e2c2d5562d1d51ab2e30c271ca3bfb41a70edb3","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-301","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-549",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
