So all matters tended towards the brother born to my stepmother. I was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to familial indulgence, my brother developed an imperious attitude from a young age, always reaching out to me for money once I started working...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, unable to defy my family, I gave him most of my hard-earned money. The more I earned, the more they demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he somehow developed a gambling addiction, becoming a bottomless pit that I couldn’t fill, yet they kept clutching onto me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cyrus spoke, reminiscent thoughts seemed to bring a bitter laugh to his face, thinking it was largely due to this quagmire of a family that he remained unmarried at 35.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, due to poor conditions, on the other, fearing he would drag a young lady down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The night before yesterday, he suddenly called, demanding I urgently get seventy thousand to repay his debt. I refused, not mentioning I was broke, even if I had it, I’d never give it to that gambling fiend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus vented his frustration, then chuckled wryly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect that within a day, he really turned into a ghost seeking revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, it was because he refused him the money for repayment, leading him to accidentally die while hiding from debt collectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although deceased, his body went unnoticed at first, leaving Cyrus unaware of his demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until his ghost suddenly approached him tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He kept insisting that I caused his death, demanding my life as repayment, yet how was I to know such a thing would happen? His death was his own doing! How was it my fault?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Cyrus’ voice carried a tinge of breakdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings listened quietly till he finished, without offering any comfort. Instead, Dashiell timely handed him a tissue box, filled with a sense of indignation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your brother is despicable! He wasn’t decent when living, even as a ghost he’s unreasonable! This indeed isn’t your fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuring him further, \"Don’t worry, he’s just a minor ghost, doesn’t even require Scarlett Jennings to intervene, a simple order from me can sort it out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Guide includes Evil Ghost Introduction, for those who stubbornly stay in the Mortal Realm rather than reincarnating, there are specific people in Spiritual Affairs responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell spoke, glancing at Scarlett Jennings, seeking praise, though unexpectedly, Scarlett seemed contemplative for a moment before speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on what you’ve said, your brother just died a day ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A New Ghost dying violently with Resentful Energy, even if seeking to become an Evil Ghost, needs to gather power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet merely a day in, he’s manifesting before you, causing a heavy Shadow Energy attachment. He’s surely not an ordinary new ghost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus, hearing this, felt his heart leap back into anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t you, can’t you capture him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly can.\" Scarlett Jennings said, glancing at him, standing up, \"We can capture him now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus was taken aback; could it be this efficient?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings nodded, observing the sky with a serious expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, before dawn, let’s quickly deal with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus assumed there was relevance to handling it before dawn, perhaps his brother’s ghost spirit would grow stronger after tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Scarlett Jennings was really thinking was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow morning, Samuel Chalmers officially moves in, she needed to act fast.\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-10T07:18:48.394Z",1,"novelbin.me","a6093a2fb6c7cc39b3d4d073e2b0db947ad4e2659554bf59df2531c7c80a87d6","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-856","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-854",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
