Uncle Ming! Why’s there no water in my room?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn’t quiet, but there was no response from outside. Adam assumed no one could hear him through the closed door, so he shouted even louder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Ming! Sister Zhang! There’s no water in my room! Get someone to check it out, quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam thought he was shouting loud enough that anyone downstairs should’ve heard him, but there was only silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just that no one seemed to hear him, but he also found the silence in his room eerily quiet; he couldn’t even hear the usual nighttime cicadas or insect sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, he thought of what Scarlett had mentioned about “tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also recalled how she loved to mess with those supernatural things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down his spine as he swallowed hard, his arm hairs standing on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw caution to the wind, wrapped a towel around his waist without concern, and charged out of the bathroom, his head still covered in suds, straight to the door, exclaiming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom! Uncle Ming!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear tinged his voice as he shouted, opening the door and rushing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he opened the door, Adam caught sound from the outside world, and his terrified shout attracted the attention of others in the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings, whose room was right next to his, was the first to open the door and emerge when he heard the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened? What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and his eyes widened instantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, my dad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings, who was climbing the stairs with Odessa and Uncle Ming, saw Adam with a head full of suds, wearing only a towel, still dripping wet, and their eyes went wide as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa instinctively covered little Ismeria Jennings’ eyes, telling her to go downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings also heard the commotion and came out of the room, his face darkening when he saw Adam’s state, “What are you doing like this?! Go back inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam was on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he not want to go back in? His room was clearly haunted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom, my room…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say it was haunted, but knowing how his dad was put off by such things, he could only grimace,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My room… suddenly ran out of water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the family housekeeper, this was naturally Uncle Ming’s responsibility. Hearing this, he dashed forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke while walking in, finding it highly unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that the water supply in the villa complex had never stopped, but the villa’s water supply system was the most advanced intelligent system available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a pipe burst, it would automatically issue a warning and shut off the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Uncle Ming entered the bathroom and turned on the shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water sprayed forth instantly, accompanied by a bit of steam that nearly splashed onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was water alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the temperature was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Ming stood there, confused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Adam couldn’t possibly be lying, he tried the shower a couple more times, turning it off and on…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the bathroom and room doors were open, everyone outside clearly heard the water when Uncle Ming tested it, and they all turned to look at Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam was momentarily dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just… there was no water when I turned it on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, go back in and wash off those suds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings thought his son was a little too excitable, shouting over every little thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odessa also advised, “Yeah, go back in, wash up, and change clothes, so you don’t catch a chill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was summer, standing around damp was still an easy way to get sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Adam felt uneasy, thinking about how no one responded to his earlier calls; he didn’t dare go in alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll… I’ll wash in Lucas’s room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this and without waiting for his response, Adam marched into Lucas’s bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas couldn’t stop him in time, so he could only stamp his feet outside the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings shook his head and turned back to his room with Odessa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over in Lucas’s room, thinking about what had happened, Adam didn’t dare linger in the shower, quickly rinsing off and dressing before stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he emerged, he saw two people sitting in Lucas’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Lucas, the other was Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam was startled, then glared at Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was it you up to tricks just now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, it was clearly a sudden water stop before; how did it work perfectly when Uncle Ming was in there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no one responded to his calls; he didn’t believe it was a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Scarlett’s earlier bet, he almost immediately determined it was her doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t know… what method she used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated nearby, Lucas was equally curious about what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at Adam, who was visibly furious, but she remained calm and didn’t deny it. She casually pulled out a Yellow Talisman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a Silence Talisman. Stick it on the door, and no matter how loud, nothing from inside can be heard outside. You experienced its effect just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had modified it from the Barrier Talisman’s script, isolating sound while keeping everything else normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Adam accused Scarlett of pulling a prank, he assumed she used some special technological method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he expect she casually revealed a talisman, his eyes went wide, leaving him speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas, also wide-eyed but visibly intrigued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have a talisman like this? Sis, I want one too! Sell me one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this talisman, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting caught by his parents while gaming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t even need headphones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett, seeing Lucas’s straightforwardness, nonchalantly responded, “Two thousand each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lucas nodded and transferred the money via mobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam stood on the sidelines, utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you really know spells?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam felt his understanding of the world was crumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett glanced at Adam, not bothering with an explanation, just said, “Bet, I won.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to make her lose on purpose, but considering what had happened just now, with everyone in the house seeing it, there was no way to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he thought of something else, staring at Scarlett with an uneasy expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, even if you used a talisman, what about the water in my room?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam wondered if Scarlett might have summoned a ghost to turn off his water midway through his shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how else could it be so perfectly timed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking a ghost might have been watching him shower, Adam’s hair stood on end again, looking at Scarlett like she was some kind of monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett met his gaze and offered another explanation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The household Water Control system can monitor water usage in every room in real-time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a ghost???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett seemed to sigh, explaining, “I just watched your water usage and estimated the time to turn off the valve in your room, that’s all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Adam’s mouth twitched violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just “that’s all!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf38aadb56b2d805d92767e0faa02eddcf778b7c08ef3b1600a57be054bac78f","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-67","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-65",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
