I just want to know, are you Layla Xalvadora?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander coldly raised her eyes to look at him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it important to you whether I’m her or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for John Dawn to answer, Elysia Xander continued with a cold smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I say I am, would you believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked casually, not expecting John Dawn to reply without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"If you tell me personally that you are, then I believe you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Dawn knew his belief was rather reckless and absurd, but seeing this face, he instinctively felt the person in front of him was her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling had no reason; he just felt that the affair of taking Layla Xalvadora’s face couldn’t be done by the person in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day in the box, she hadn’t denied it, had she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To take a step back, if she really did such a thing, why would the Security Bureau let her come back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander looked at the stubbornly foolish man in front of her, and after a long pause, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am her, but not her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing her hand against her chest, she said, \"The soul inside this body is indeed Layla Xalvadora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this face, she merely took a face that originally belonged to this soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the Black Mist man said he could help her regain Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t expect that the way to regain Spiritual Power was to merge her soul into another’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it were a layer of skin, directly covering her original soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of magic, she hadn’t even heard of before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they managed to accomplish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, not even the Mystical Sect, nor Scarlett Jennings, discovered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still Elysia Xander, but the soul indeed became Layla Xalvadora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like her could even mislead the people of the Mystical Sect, let alone John Dawn, who was just an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Dawn heard her claiming her soul was Layla Xalvadora; although it sounded a bit mystical, as long as she claimed to be Layla, he believed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew I wouldn’t mistake it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps too excited, John Dawn instinctively moved a bit closer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as he approached, Elysia Xander decisively moved away, her gaze towards him growing colder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said I don’t remember you, and even if I am the person you are looking for, to me, you are just a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You got your answer; you can leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she used Layla Xalvadora’s identity, wore her soul, Elysia Xander indeed never thought of using the man in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, Elysia Xander, even if down and out, would never rely on men to collect faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could definitely gain followers with her own ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Scarlett Jennings back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Dawn felt the person in front seemed angry, but he believed the stronger the reaction, the less guilt, indicating... she was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Dawn had shot many films and was adept at analyzing the inner world of various characters, convinced he understood this kind of personality well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he got the answer he wanted, he had no intention to continue bothering her and got up to leave, but before departing, he still said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you don’t remember me, as long as you’re you, I’ll try to... protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander’s eyes flickered slightly, instinctively glancing at John Dawn, seemingly not understanding his logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, she looked at him and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m the person you’re looking for, but I’ve become someone you cannot comprehend, or even... not a good person, would you still do as you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke and then felt somewhat foolish, immediately turning cold again, talking to herself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She inexplicably didn’t want to hear the answer, but after a moment’s initial shock, John Dawn hesitated briefly and then earnestly replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander couldn’t say what she felt, but the voice inside told her he wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will always treat her well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Xander wouldn’t, and the man in front of her who valued her only because of a face more certainly wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once those people discovered she wasn’t as perfect or exceptional as they imagined, they would all abandon her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living anew, she could rely only on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings came by shortly after John Dawn left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t care what exactly was going on between Lucienne Xander and John Dawn; she just wanted to see Lucienne Xander in person once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, just finding the real Layla Xalvadora whose appearance was taken could prove Lucienne Xander used the Evil Technique to harm others, but because her body hosted a soul identical to Layla Xalvadora, the current reality is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, she couldn’t prove whether Lucienne Xander or Layla Xalvadora was the real Layla Xalvadora in this world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, she couldn’t prove the face Layla Xalvadora lost was indeed taken by Lucienne Xander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of these two reasons, and the presence of the Mystical Council, she couldn’t rashly act against her, simply based on speculation in the name of the Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander evidently knew this as well, thus she wasn’t even slightly flustered by Scarlett Jennings’ arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scarlett Jennings, I know you’re also with the Security Bureau, but you don’t need to waste your time on me; the Security Bureau could forcibly explore my soul based on speculation once, but there’s no way a second time because if you act again, I will immediately report to the Mystical Council.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joining the Security Bureau extraordinarily is no big deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It similarly requires adherence to rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, listening only to her tone, knew she was still Elysia Xander, so she smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Security Bureau indeed isn’t impressive, if the Security Bureau’s identity is limited, then just change to another identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander was stunned, not understanding what changing identities meant, but Scarlett Jennings didn’t explain further and left the apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings herself hadn’t figured out what to do next, but the next moment, she received a call from a long-lost number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment and answered the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the other end started with a tone of despair,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jennings! Please save me, what’s going on with that Lucienne Xander?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Director Clark,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because of Lucienne Xander being taken away by the Security Bureau earlier, the internet suspected her reputation collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth Curse reappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the schedule for the second episode was about to be finalized! Whether to change the guest list for the second episode was a very serious issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you believe she said she’d help me check ahead to ensure there were no issues with the other guests, but the first to collapse was her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going bald now, Master Jennings, can you help me calculate? I’m willing to pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings quietly listened to Director Clark’s cries from the other end, as if thinking of something, said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucienne Xander’s situation is complicated, I can’t calculate for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a bit, she continued amid Director Clark’s disappointed wailing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can serve as an advisor for the second episode and keep an eye on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Clark: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of eerie silence from the other end, Director Clark’s voice suddenly erupted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying you want to be a flying guest for me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-10T07:18:48.071Z",1,"novelbin.me","4df1ff01396f39e0d9f21f9241ffb0d497c80e4db3432eb3a2555666b8c17429","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-769","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-767",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
