The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Utilized Anti-backstabbing Talisman

The moment Odessa heard Luca Jennings’ response, she felt as if all the dispirited emotions of the evening had vanished.

She just knew.

Everything was progressing according to the script she had set.

In order to create an opportunity for a private meeting with Luca Jennings that would not raise any suspicion and that seemed entirely natural, Odessa had truly put a great deal of thought into it.

Thanks to her past studies into character psychology during her acting career, Odessa had anticipated every one of Luca Jennings’ reactions.

The outcome was just as she had imagined.

First, he rejected her request to come and support her, and then he had his assistant Lin reject her ten million compensation claim, having declined her twice, even out of consideration for Michael Jennings, Luca Jennings could not possibly reject her a third time.

Especially after she hinted at having "hidden sufferings."

The situation was going as smoothly as she had hoped, and Odessa even felt that her streak of bad luck had disappeared.

All that was left was for the two of them to meet privately tomorrow, and Odessa’s next plan could proceed smoothly.

Wheeling her wheelchair, Odessa approached the open suitcase and took out a small green bottle from inside.

Looking at that bottle, Odessa’s lips curved into a smile once more.

"Luca, we will be together very soon."

She murmured softly, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

But little did she know, on the other end, after hanging up Odessa’s call, Luca Jennings’ expression was dark, and he remained silent for a long time.

If it weren’t for the words spoken by Scarlett and those two kids today.

Luca Jennings would not have developed an unusual wariness.

Especially since the person was his sister-in-law.

But now that he was aware he had been afflicted by both mischievous peach blossoms and villains recently, of course, Luca Jennings would not take it lightly.

Added to that, Odessa’s behavior was indeed a bit odd.

After some thought, Luca Jennings got up, searched out the Anti-backstabbing Talisman that Scarlett had given him, and carefully placed it into the inside pocket of the suit jacket he was planning to wear the next day.

He hoped it would just be him being overly cautious.

...

The next day, "Inspiration" went on air as usual.

Since Teacher Tang had finished his task ahead of schedule, Director Clark once again moved up the help-seeking interactive segment.

Scarlett Jennings watched the help-seeking audience on the screen; this time, the help-seeker was a somewhat decadent middle-aged man.

On the video, the man’s face was pleading, hoping the show could help him find his Ghost Wife.

Yes, this man had kept a Ghost.

The Ghost was indeed his wife who had died more than a year ago.

Out of deep love for his wife, he specifically sought out a method from abroad to keep her spirit with him, but three months ago, his wife disappeared.

"My wife is the only true love of my life. When she passed away, I even thought about joining her in death, but I couldn’t leave our children behind; I had to stay alive."

"I know that keeping a Ghost is something that most people can’t accept, but I love her too much. I can’t bear to be apart from her, so that’s why I chose this way to keep her with me."

"I know she must have left secretly because she feels being a Ghost and staying with me for too long will harm me, but I don’t care! I just want to be with her."

"Master, I really need my wife... I am willing to pay any price to bring her back!"

By the end, the man’s voice was choked with emotion, and his deep and sincere words pierced every listener’s heart, stirring up immense emotion in the studio guests and the live broadcast audience instantly.

[True love between man and Ghost in reality, it’s unbelievable but true!]

[This is what love is!]

[Miss Ghost, please say yes! Please!]
