Even though he didn’t understand, he dared not casually expose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Scarlett Jennings turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland immediately returned the gaze with round, obedient eyes, and Scarlett Jennings said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve received your compensation, you can leave now, and don’t come near here casually again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light in Lionel Strickland’s eyes visibly dimmed, and his long tail drooped down along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncle’s voice carried a touch of melancholy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I’m a bit afraid of the dark, thankfully there are dim lights in your garden, so I can leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know if there’s a place for me to sleep this late…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s okay though, I can stay under the bridge, I’ve often slept there. But occasionally, there are mice passing by, which I don’t really like…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland murmured, dragging his long tail across the floor, while glancing back at Scarlett Jennings with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who taught this mystical creature such a way to sell misery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to them, Adam Jennings felt the Ear Mouse was quite the drama queen, but unfortunately, it met with the cold and unfeeling Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be fooled by Scarlett Jennings’ sweet looks; she’s got a hard heart and won’t easily soften for such misery-selling tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Scarlett Jennings seemed to sigh speechlessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said earlier that the Mystic Regulation Office wants you to pay a fine, have you paid all the money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland immediately stopped in his tracks upon hearing Scarlett Jennings, turned his head, and sniffled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet. I’m out of money, and the Mystic Regulation Office agreed to a payment plan. I’m going to earn money again soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t sell Secret Medicine, what are you planning to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland glanced at Scarlett Jennings and rudely said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could go work at a construction site, I’ve heard that can earn money too; when I take human form, I’m quite strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings imagined the one-point-eight-meter-tall uncle going to move bricks and had to admit, it’s the most miserable mystical creature she’s seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a helpless purse of her lips, Scarlett Jennings said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, don’t go move bricks. First, find a place to settle down, and I’ll give you some advice later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already had a plan in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now it’s too late, she’s too lazy to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he almost bolted back to Scarlett Jennings’ side, his long tail swaying elegantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you going to take care of me, my lady?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, with her iron-hearted facade, mercilessly refused,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not taking care of you. I’m just giving you an idea to make money; you still need to take care of yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland wasn’t disappointed to hear this; getting advice on how to earn money was no different than having someone take care of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Scarlett Jennings tell him to find a place to sleep tonight, Lionel Strickland’s eyes twinkled, and he suddenly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady, I saw a small house outside your home, maybe I could sleep there? My original form doesn’t take up much space, and I promise your family won’t find out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family member No.1 Lucas Jennings and Family member No.2 Adam Jennings: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already spotted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both figured out that the little mystical creature was aiming for the pet house of the little fox; though the little fox slept in the bedroom at night, it would occasionally nap in the pet house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, they looked at Scarlett Jennings, and sure enough, they heard her flatly refuse again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s Little Pretty’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Little Pretty is usually quite obedient, if she dared to lend her pet house to a demon beast to sleep in, the little one would definitely throw a tantrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Scarlett Jennings had no intention of taking in Lionel Strickland, she certainly wouldn’t allow him to occupy Little Pretty’s pet house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Scarlett Jennings’ firm attitude, Lionel Strickland had to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, it seems the plan to infiltrate slowly is shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wouldn’t really go sleep under a bridge, he had already decided where to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way here, he had seen a Kent’s Fort, as long as he took human form, he could stay inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had slept in several Kent’s Fort locations, the place known to be a chain and open 24 hours for free sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that plan in mind, Lionel Strickland exchanged numbers with Scarlett Jennings and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings watched the little demon beast leave and couldn’t help but exclaim,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, my sister is just too soft-hearted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, while Scarlett Jennings is mostly iron-hearted, she occasionally is soft-hearted too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they sent Lionel Strickland away, it was nearly four o’clock in the morning. Scarlett Jennings saw things had mostly been resolved, waved at the two, and went upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings wanted to follow Lucas Jennings to his room but was sternly refused by Lucas Jennings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My sister said there’s nothing wrong with it, are you doubting her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings stared at him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Since you’re so trusting, why don’t you sleep in this room with me tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings felt guilty upon hearing this, quickly recovered, and lectured Adam Jennings earnestly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, you’re already grown up, you can’t always rely on me, your younger brother, you need to learn to sleep independently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it, I’m going to sleep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he didn’t wait for Adam Jennings to respond and quickly made his escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings watched his back and couldn’t help but laugh angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nerve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he suddenly faced the Benedict Beast on the shelf, his expression instantly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling uneasy, he turned his head and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that he didn’t want to take responsibility; he just needed a break tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the room, he instinctively looked in the direction of Kingston Jennings’ room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s so late, with his poor health, if he wakes him up, he’ll probably feel uncomfortable again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Adam Jennings decided to knock on Donovan Jennings’ room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Donovan, are you asleep?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan Jennings, forcibly awakened: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, Brother Donovan was also not asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, at ten in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Maybach stopped in front of a Kent’s Fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teenager wearing a hip-hop style outfit and a black mask got out from the back seat, walked into the shop, scanned around the interior, then headed straight to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the people around, he went to the darkest corner inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland, who was sleeping in the corner, sensed a familiar aura and abruptly sat up, turned his head, and met the somewhat cold gaze of the teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teenager raised his chin at him; his voice cool, with a hint of mystery,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t speak, come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel Strickland: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This underaged Flood Dragon, how peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>",1264,"2026-06-10T07:18:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","e2a4333d8e562542257975d9ce2ed4b1469455e064657cba2bb6e3b64b09cfb4","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-557","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-555",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
