The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Odessa’s Secret

In the Jennings Family, besides the elderly Madam Jennings, Odessa held the highest Goodwill Value towards Azura Loomis.

Prior to becoming the Second Madam of the Jennings Family, Odessa was a second-tier actress who climbed the high branch of Michael Jennings through a collaboration opportunity and then retired from acting to devote herself to being a wealthy socialite.

To show she wasn’t merely a decorative piece, she took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of the household management.

Although dubbed the housekeeper, her role mainly involved worrying about the daily domestic affairs and social interactions of the different branches of the family.

While it involved a fair amount of managing finances, there was a dedicated housekeeper in the family, and every expenditure and income was detailed, so the amount of money Odessa actually handled was not substantial.

Fortunately, her intent in doing these things wasn’t to embezzle money.

She was more concerned about elevating her status within the Jennings Family, fearing being looked down upon because of her humble origins after marrying into a prestigious family.

Initially, to prove her managerial capabilities, she took extra care of the niece whom Madam Jennings valued greatly.

Because of this, Odessa gained a good reputation and Madam Jennings’s view of her improved.

Later on, finding Azura to be obedient, she treated her like a somewhat endearing pet that the family raised.

Odessa’s genuine change of heart and affection towards her niece Azura was the result of Azura accidentally obtaining for her a set of jewelry she had long desired.

As the Second Madam of the Jennings Family, she could afford jewelry, but that particular set had been auctioned off to another lady with whom she didn’t get along. Azura somehow managed to persuade the lady to agree to sell the jewelry to Odessa.

At that time, Azura was only fourteen years old.

Later on, Odessa found that her niece always seemed especially lucky.

Limited edition items that others couldn’t even get a chance to purchase, Azura would receive special buying invitations for.

Whenever she took Azura to auctions and Azura made a bid, the people competing with her would always drop out due to some other reasons.

Even when her husband hit a creative roadblock, a casual tune played by Azura could inspire him.

Through these events, Odessa’s appreciation and fondness for her niece Azura grew stronger.

Although not to the same extent as her own daughter, Azura was almost like an adopted child to her.

Therefore, when the dolls made from dead people’s hair were found, Odessa’s bias was with Azura, and she felt somewhat heartbroken seeing her get rid of all her dolls.

Knowing that Azura and Adam Jennings were coming home for the weekend, Odessa had someone prepare their favorite dishes bright and early.

Seeing this, Ismeria Jennings felt somewhat aggrieved,

"Mom, it’s the weekend, you promised you’d go to the amusement park with me!"

On hearing this, Odessa just patted her daughter’s head,

"Violet, be good. Today your Sister Azura and brother are coming home, Grandma wants to see them. Let’s stay at home and keep them company this weekend; next weekend, Mom will take you out."

More importantly, she had something to discuss with Azura today, so she definitely needed to stay home and wait for her return.

"But..."

No sooner had Ismeria begun to protest than a small tray was thrust into her hands.

"Be good, take these fruits to your great-uncle; he’s also rarely at home to rest today. Keep him company, sweeten him up a bit, and then he’ll like you the best."

Ismeria pouted, somewhat unwillingly,

"But great-uncle is so scary!"

And dad was at home too, yet mom only asked her to deliver to great-uncle and not to dad.

It was always like this, always saying that great-uncle would definitely like her the most.

But it was clear that great-uncle’s favorite was Sister Scarlett.
