The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 37 - Who Told You I Liked You
Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Who Told You I Liked You
Chapter 37 -37 Who Told You I Liked You
The Silva Family rarely saw Scarlett Jennings looking so serious, and they couldn’t help but become anxious, thinking there might be other risks involved.
Scarlett Jennings said,
“Years ago, the one who swapped Little Lili’s mind was a woman who worked for years at the Jennings Family. Back then, she inadvertently helped an Evil Master, who offered to exchange intelligence for her mentally ill son as a repayment. She targeted Little Lili, who happened to be visiting the Jennings Family as a guest.”
These matters were, of course, later confessed by Ms. Wu.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t wish to keep this from the Silva Family.
Hearing such a truth, the faces of the Silva Family members grew a bit complex.
To say they harbored no resentment towards the Jennings Family would be a lie.
After all, it was a maid they had hired, who would have thought a maid in the family would have such a malicious idea.
Their Little Lili was only visiting, yet she was targeted, living a life like a child for eight years.

And over these years, they hadn’t even realized, thinking Little Lili’s mind was impaired just because of her fall from the horse back then…
They resented the Jennings Family for failing to recognize such a person, yet it was precisely Scarlett Jennings, a member of that family, who identified the problem and offered to help.
Gideon Silva took a deep breath and, after a long pause, sighed, “As long as Little Lili can return to normal… let’s just forget it.”
After all, the two families had some connections, and turning this into a grudge would put Master Jennings in an awkward position.
Now, they just wanted Little Lili to recover.
The Silva Family’s openness made Scarlett Jennings develop a newfound fondness for them. With a gentle smile, she simply said, “Don’t worry, she will get better.”
Scarlett Jennings then went upstairs, took a strand of Little Lili’s hair, and under the midday sunlight set up a small Reincarnation Array.
Compared to last time, when her mastery with the Flying Talisman stunned everyone, the array she set up this time was quite simple and unadorned.
They watched as she mumbled a few Taoist magic phrases under her breath before burning the hair wrapped in the Yellow Talisman and then stood up, saying to them, “It’s done.”
The Silva Family was still in a daze, especially Bryson Silva, who had heard from Mrs. Silva about how vividly Master Jennings performed her magic and was looking forward to witnessing it first-hand today.
And yet, was that it??
How could he have known that last time was partly a performance by Scarlett Jennings to impress, especially Mrs. Silva.
Now that the Silva Family believed in her abilities, Scarlett Jennings didn’t see the need to continue performing.
The most sophisticated magic often required the simplest of techniques.
Thankfully, the Silva Family was more concerned about Little Lili’s condition and did not dwell on the process, instinctively looking at their Little Lili with slightly tense expressions.
They saw that Little Lili’s gaze seemed clearer than before, her beautiful big eyes swept over them, and then landed on Scarlett Jennings. After a moment, she asked curiously,
“Big sister with the puppy, aren’t we playing the treasure hunt game today?”
The Silva Family’s hearts nearly sank.
This… why does it seem the same as before?
Mrs. Silva looked anxiously at Scarlett Jennings, “Master Jennings… was the magic unsuccessful? Why doesn’t Little Lili seem better?”
Faced with the Silva Family’s doubt, Scarlett Jennings remained calm.
“She is already better.”
Gideon Silva frowned as he looked at his little daughter, still innocent and naive, unable to tell that she was well.
Knowing the Silva Family’s doubts, Scarlett Jennings explained,
“Her intelligence was swapped away when she was eight, so the current her is also eight years old. The intelligence she regained would not suddenly give her the mind of a sixteen-year-old overnight, but from today onwards, she will grow like a normal child.”
However, it might take her eight years longer to mature compared to her peers.
It might seem abrupt now, but as time goes by, this gap would gradually decrease until she truly grows into an adult.
The Silva Family finally had a realization upon hearing this.
Indeed.
Their Little Lili had remained in a childlike state for the past eight years; even if she recovered, it wouldn’t make her a sixteen-year-old girl overnight.
If she could mature overnight, they would instead question whether someone had replaced the essence within her body.
Mrs. Silva realized this and immediately felt relieved, looking at Little Lili’s still innocent eyebrows with a hint of tears in her eyes.
“It’s fine, she just has a longer childhood than others. Our Little Princess of the Silva Family isn’t in a hurry to grow up.”
Seeing the Silva Family accept this, Scarlett Jennings took a Jade Token from her backpack and personally hung it around Little Lili’s neck,
“This is a Protective Jade Token I made personally. It can fend off all evil and ensure her future safety.”
After all, Andrea Silva had been repeatedly targeted because of her exceptional Fate Chart.
Gideon Silva noticed that the Jade Token given to Little Lili was top-notch, much better than the broken piece from before, and immediately transferred five million to Scarlett Jennings’ account.
It was also considered the payment this time.
However, Scarlett Jennings promptly returned the money.
“This time’s payment has already been made.”
Gideon Silva was taken aback.
Scarlett Jennings showed him a payment receipt showing an amount of ten million.
Gideon Silva was still wondering who could be so generous until he saw the transferor’s note: Luca Jennings.
Gideon Silva: …
“The Jennings Family bears certain responsibility for the mind exchange. Today, I am here partly to atone for this mistake on behalf of the Jennings.” Today, Scarlett Jennings was not only Master Jennings but also a representative of the Jennings Family.
Gideon Silva, hearing this, felt whatever slight grudge he had against the Jennings Family completely dissipate.
…
Leaving the Silva Family, Scarlett Jennings was about to get into her car when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Scarlett?”
Scarlett Jennings turned around and saw Lydia Patterson standing not far away, looking at her with restrained joy and feigned affection in her eyes.
“I came to visit my uncle and didn’t expect to see you here. What a coincidence.”
Lydia Patterson explained softly, seeing that Scarlett Jennings remained silent, she continued, “At that banquet, I saw you. I was about to greet you, but then I was worried you might be unhappy to see me… after all, there might be some misunderstandings between us.”
Scarlett Jennings raised an eyebrow, “Misunderstandings?”
Seeing her finally respond, Lydia Patterson quickly said,
“Yes, Isolde must have told you that we are dating now, right? But that’s not the case. After your accident and unexpected reunion with your family, Isolde tricked me, saying your family was poor and rundown, and I was worried that your future would be ruined if you were sent away, so I begged her to let Uncle Garrison keep you in the Garrison Family. As a condition, I agreed to be her boyfriend…”
Scarlett Jennings raised her eyebrows even higher.
“So, you did it for me?”
Lydia Patterson looked at her bitterly, “This must be fate playing tricks. Scarlett, did you know? The person I’ve always liked is you. I know, you’ve always liked me too…”
Originally wanting to see what tale Lydia Patterson had to tell for waiting here, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t hold back any longer at this point and interrupted,
“Lydia Patterson, who told you that I liked you?”
