The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Unlucky things will pass if you just endure them

Scarlett Jennings suddenly turned her head, looking left and right at the distant mountains that encircled them.

"Who’s there?!"

Who was speaking?

However, just like the sigh she heard before, her question remained unanswered.

Scarlett Jennings was certain she wasn’t hallucinating.

That meant... there was something wrong with the Academy.

The Academy had rules against students secretly keeping ghosts on its grounds.

The existence of such strange rules meant that someone must have done it before.

So... could it be that someone had once kept a ghost in the Academy, and that ghost had stayed there ever since?

Scarlett Jennings thought this possibility was very likely.

If it were an ordinary ghost, she wouldn’t be interested.

But if it could utter the surname Wenren...

Then she had to investigate.

...

While Scarlett Jennings was preoccupied with the thought of catching the ghost, she promptly pushed the matter regarding Odessa to the back of her mind.

In the following week, one could say that Odessa was utterly plagued by misfortune.

It was to the point where even drinking cold water would make her teeth ache.

"Mom, I think there must be something wrong with you."

Inside the bedroom, Odessa lay on the bed looking as frail as an ailing beauty, with an ice pack on her head.

Ismeria Jennings was propped up beside her bed, her large, bright eyes staring intently at her mother, seriously concluding the statement above.

Upon hearing this, Odessa was almost infuriated to death by her own little ’bundle of warmth.’

She was ill, but she wasn’t crazy!!

She opened her mouth to correct her daughter’s words but then heard her continue,

"I think we need to find Sister to help you. You’re just too unlucky."

Even a child could see it.

Mom has really had terrible luck recently.

So unlucky that even the beautiful Princess would turn and run on sight.

She couldn’t ignore her mother, so lately, the beautiful Princess hadn’t been playing with her either.

Ismeria Jennings felt very gloomy, hoping her mother would get better soon.

When Odessa heard the mention of ’Sister,’ a fleeting complexity crossed her somewhat pale face.

Of course, she knew which sister she was referring to.

Ever since that time when the Gibney Family and Silva Family came to visit together, Ismeria Jennings had "exposed" in front of the guests the bad things Odessa said about Scarlett Jennings in private.

After that incident, the two sisters seemed to have "reconciled."

If Odessa hadn’t known her daughter did that inadvertently, she might have even suspected that it was for the sake of righteousness over kinship that Ismeria made up with Scarlett Jennings.

But her Ismeria wasn’t that sort of person.

If it had been in the past, she would have been happy to see them getting along like real sisters.

After all, when Scarlett Jennings seemed willing to interact with someone, Luca Jennings obviously became more amiable as well.

However, Scarlett Jennings seemed to see through her from the start, maintaining the same attitude whether Odessa was nice to her or not.

Just like her own brother.

Impossible to please.

And when Odessa gave up on trying to be seen by Scarlett Jennings as a mother, she actually became closer to her own daughter.

She previously mocked Lucas Jennings for changing his ways, sticking to Scarlett Jennings like a shadow day in and day out.

Now her own daughter was almost the same.

Odessa felt a bit upset.

Just as she was suffocating from her younger daughter’s "filial piety," Michael Jennings walked in.

Having heard that she fell ill, he specially finished work early to come back and see her.
