The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Dragon, Help Me Protect Someone

Ismeria Jennings instinctively looked up, but Scarlett Jennings had already withdrawn her hand.

"You have to listen to adults, but don’t listen to everything they say. Learn to judge right from wrong for yourself."

Scarlett’s voice was calm. Ismeria looked at her, her expression somewhat puzzled, as if she understood but also did not.

Scarlett didn’t care whether she understood or not and turned around to call the little fox to come and play.

However, as soon as she took a step, someone suddenly tugged at her dress from behind.

Ismeria looked up, her expression a bit aggrieved and dissatisfied,

"Do you, do you dislike me?"

Scarlett didn’t know where she got this idea, but looking at the little girl in front of her, she didn’t deny it outright and after a moment, lightly questioned back,

"Weren’t you the one who disliked me first?"

Ismeria was stunned, recalling something, her face flushed,

"How—how can you hold a grudge?! I already apologized to you!"

Previously, because she refused to give up her room to her, she indeed cried and shouted that she disliked her and even told her to get out of her house.

But later, her grandpa and uncle forced her to apologize to her.

"Oh," Scarlett replied, without saying anything more.

Ismeria couldn’t help stomping her foot, tugging at her dress again,

"Then, then I won’t dislike you in the future, and you aren’t allowed to dislike me either!"

Her tone carried a bit of spoiled arrogance, but her eyes looked at her eagerly, as if asking, "Is that okay?"

Scarlett looked at the little girl in front of her, and after a moment, reluctantly nodded.

...

Scarlett played with the three children for more than half an hour, while the two families in the living room had almost driven Odessa to the edge.

Fortunately, just when she was about to reach her limit, both sides finally said their goodbyes.

They weren’t people with free time, they had come because of Scarlett.

Now that their purpose was achieved, they left.

Odessa finally managed to see them off, and when she turned around, she found her daughter eagerly following Scarlett.

That little following appearance made her look like another Lucas Jennings.

She felt her vision darkening.

But that wasn’t all.

That night, Old Sir Jiang, having learned that Odessa was privately badmouthing Scarlett to the children, secretly reprimanded her and Michael Jennings together.

Michael Jennings had been busy with the entertainment company recently and was inexplicably scolded upon finally returning home, which led to a bout of complaints directed at her in their room.

Odessa was so angry she almost went crazy. Neither her husband nor daughter was on her side, so she wanted to vent her grievances to her only son, Adam Jennings.

Adam always didn’t get along with Scarlett, surely he would take her side.

But unexpectedly, Adam frowned and expressed displeasure after hearing about it, saying,

"Mom, I’ve been trying to get Scarlett to help me contact that mentor Grant for assistance. She’s finally close to agreeing, but with this uproar, she’s bound to ignore me again. Why did you provoke her?"

Listening to her son’s implied reprimand, Odessa was utterly incredulous.

Could such words really come out of her son’s mouth?!

How could her perfectly good children suddenly turn against her?!

...

Scarlett didn’t pay attention to the matters on the second family’s side; instead, she focused on online news due to Derek Gibney and his wife’s visit.

Online discussions continued to circle around Finnian Flynn’s mental health evaluation.

The origin was a netizen capturing Finnian covered in blood, being taken to the hospital by police for treatment.

A reporter arrived and learned that Finnian had been hospitalized due to self-harm, and everyone held the same thought, that is—

["He’s finished, so he’s really a lunatic, even starting to self-harm."]

However, before the police could take action regarding Finnian’s behavior, a coalition of prominent Sea City families, led by the Gibney Family, filed a joint lawsuit against Finnian,

And they even invited renowned domestic and international mental health experts and lawyers who specialize in handling mental illness injury cases.
