The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 357 Evil God System

Even someone like Donovan Jennings and Lucas Jennings, who were outsiders to these matters, sensed something off the moment they saw that doll.

Despite the doll’s body being very worn out, its red clothes were exceptionally bright.

So bright it was as if it had just been put on, exuding an inexplicably eerie aura.

Uncle Ming even jumped in fright upon seeing this thing,

"This! This plaster was just made a few years ago when the pavilion was renovated, how could there be such a thing inside?! This is... is this a dirty item?"

Lucas gave him a "you’re stating the obvious" look, "No need to ask! It’s definitely something dirty!"

As he spoke, he turned to confirm with Scarlett Jennings, "Sis, am I right?"

Scarlett didn’t answer. She raised her sword, hesitated for a moment, but then she put away the Peach Wood Sword and instead took out several Talisman Papers to stick on the doll before packing it away.

Afterward, using the same method of detection, Scarlett found several more items concealed by the "system" throughout the Jennings Family home that carried dark energy.

These weren’t just dolls; many were burial objects or old items containing dead people’s tissues, one of which was even found in Adam Jennings’s room.

When Adam saw Scarlett take out a doll’s clothing stained with mottled blood from the compartment above his bed, his face turned completely dark.

Because when Scarlett just came looking, he had confidently claimed that the doll Azura Loomis gave him had already been dealt with.

Although he didn’t really believe Azura would use the doll to harm anyone, he felt somewhat disgusted and took the opportunity to dispose of the doll she gave him while Azura was handling the dolls.

Who could have thought there would still be such a thing in the compartment above his bed?

Donovan obviously realized the seriousness of the issue as well.

He also guessed that the person hiding these items must be someone from inside the house.

Because the places Scarlett was searching, like inside the plaster, were completely inconspicuous from the outside, or they were high compartments that the maids couldn’t clean on regular days.

Even more ridiculous was a ceramic doll decoration, brazenly placed on a shelf in the corridor.

Only one person could be responsible for these deeds, all involving "dolls".

It seems the Jennings Family has been harboring a thief for years.

"I’m going to see Grandpa to explain the situation. From today on, we need to completely sever all ties between the Jennings Family and Azura Loomis."

Especially with Old Lady Jennings and Chase Jennings.

Scarlett hesitated for a moment and went with Donovan.

It wasn’t to help persuade Old Sir Jiang, but to hope that Old Sir Jiang and Donovan’s side wouldn’t make any noticeable actions for the time being.

"The items found now were mostly hidden little by little over the years. According to the positions where these items were hidden, this is likely a large formation targeting the Jennings Family, but the Array Eye is empty, indicating the other party isn’t fully prepared." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"I previously speculated that the loss of Fortune of Chase Jennings and Odessa was related to Azura Loomis. If it’s related to Fortune, what she aims to seize is likely the entire Fortune of the Jennings Family."

Old Sir Jiang, whose appearance was usually affable, was now stripped of pretense, revealing the intimidative and stern demeanor of a superior.

"She wants the Jennings Family’s Fortune? How dare she?!"

Scarlett, suddenly faced with Old Sir Jiang’s oppressive demeanor, showed no sign of nervousness, her voice still calm,

"By herself, of course, she wouldn’t dare, and she couldn’t do it."

Scarlett Jennings explained all her suspicions about Azura Loomis and the system behind her.

"That so-called system, I suspect it to be some kind of Wicked God, but its aura is different from any I’ve been in contact with before. I’m not sure if ordinary methods could deal with it."

"Without a way to handle the Wicked God inside Azura’s body, any rash actions might alert the adversary or even cause it to transfer, and then it may be harder to track down."

That’s why she hoped that Donovan Jennings and Old Sir Jiang would keep things under wraps for the time being, pretending to know nothing.

The same reasoning applied as to why she didn’t immediately dispose of those things just now.

The energy attached to those insidious items could conceal their evil presence, just like what was attached to Ianthe Lawson’s doll before.

If handled recklessly, the adversary might become aware that she had discovered its presence and prepared accordingly.

"I’ve done some research on systems before. They’re said to be able to communicate at any time from within the body. Assuming this system is a Wicked God that has always been inside Azura Loomis, these kinds of entities that can possess others will undoubtedly harm their host, which is Azura Loomis."

Upon hearing this, Donovan’s eyebrows slightly lifted. He was about to say it didn’t matter, but then he heard Scarlett continue,

"But more often than not, even if its host dies, it could escape unharmed and transfer elsewhere. This is the worst-case scenario."

After all, in Scarlett’s view, Azura Loomis was nothing more than a vessel or a medium for the Wicked God, just like those dolls.

Without Azura, there are countless other mediums.

"Fortunately, we have already found everything on the Jennings Family end. The adversary’s scheme surely won’t reach its final step. I still have some preparations to make, so I need the family’s cooperation."

Old Sir Jiang felt relieved to hear that the schemes wouldn’t come to fruition. As for other outcomes, like what happened to Chase Jennings or Odessa, having a bit of their Fortune taken, Old Sir Jiang felt that wasn’t a big deal. If they had the bad luck to encounter such a thing, it would serve to wake them up.

The fear was of ending up like that foolish grandson Chase, having Fortune taken and still not coming to his senses.

Even if he gave Chase a heads-up, he might still react like the old lady, thinking Scarlett was fearmongering and talking nonsense.

Thinking this, Old Sir Jiang directly waved his hand to indicate consent, "Let’s proceed as you suggest. You don’t have to worry about things on the home front."

With Old Sir Jiang making that declaration, his whole demeanor changed. He truly was a stabilizing force like the pillar in the sea.

Seeing this, Scarlett offered rare praise to Old Sir Jiang, "With Grandfather here, I’m not worried."

Turning her head, she also saw Donovan watching her with a smile. Scarlett blinked and quickly added, "And with my brother here, too."

Donovan nodded, satisfied.

Relieved, Scarlett returned to her room to securely store away the items she had retrieved. As for the concerns about Adam Jennings, she couldn’t care less and left it to her brother to deal with.

After tidying up the items, Scarlett didn’t head back to the academy immediately but instead took another day off. The next day, she went straight to the Loomis Family.

She wanted to try using the Peach Wood Sword to sense the status of the Wicked God in Azura Loomis’s body.

However, as soon as she arrived at the Loomis Family’s home, from afar she saw not only Azura Loomis but also encountered someone unexpected.

It was Chase Jennings, who had hurried back from out of town that morning.

Rather than going home first, Chase went to see Azura Loomis after arriving back in Sea City.

At this moment, he was firmly shielding Azura behind him, his face a pale shade of anger as he faced off against the little girl opposite and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Loomis.

The little girl in front of Chase, who was crying and angrily accusing, grabbed attention with the alarming blisters around her wrist—especially noticeable when she pointed at Azura.

"It’s you! You tampered with the bracelet you gave me. I just wore it for half a day, and now my wrist is full of blisters! You must have poisoned me! I’m your own sister, how can you be so evil, wu wu wu!"
