The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 368: The Third Target, Scarlett Jennings

At night, Adam Jennings’ dormitory.

Adam Jennings, carrying a change of clothes, entered the bathroom.

The originally quiet dormitory admitted one person, precisely the male student who had invited Adam Jennings to play ball during the day.

He looked around the dorm, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, and asked casually as if on a whim, "Adam Jennings, are you in there?"

"Ah." A response came from Adam Jennings in the bathroom, amidst the sound of the cascading water.

The male student steadied his nerves, listening intently to the movements from the bathroom, making sure the person inside would not come out anytime soon, and then turned to lock the dorm door from the inside. He promptly took out a small doll, the size of a palm, from his bag.

Hesitant for a moment, he climbed onto Adam Jennings’ bed and carefully stuffed the doll into the pillow’s core.

As he was preoccupied with his covert activities, he failed to notice the bathroom door quietly opening.

Adam Jennings, neatly dressed, stood behind him, his face darkened, and asked, "What are you doing?"

...

Azura Loomis waited in the dorm until late at night, finally hearing the news of a police alert from the male dormitory.

"It’s said that someone in the boys’ dorm was caught stealing, caught red-handed on surveillance cameras! They called the cops and took him away immediately."

A girl in the same dormitory shared the latest gossip, immediately piquing the curiosity of two others,

"Who is it? Who even installs surveillance in a dorm room?"

"It’s that freshman heartthrob from the financial department, from the Jennings Family, you know? They are true tycoons. A single watch from them costs over a million, so installing a surveillance camera isn’t over the top, right?"

"But calling the police directly... Isn’t that a bit much? After all, they are roommates from the same dormitory, and nothing was actually stolen. Getting into college isn’t easy for anyone."

"Haha, if they know getting into college isn’t easy, why steal from a dorm mate? Just because they didn’t succeed, does it not count as stealing? Once a hand is extended, that’s stealing. If you let them off easy the first time, there will be countless more incidents to come!"

"That’s right, I also support calling the police. They should take them down in one go, so nobody dares to try something like this again."

The three of them took turns commenting, and someone, as if something occurred to them, asked Azura Loomis, who had been quiet,

"Azura, I remember you have a good relationship with that Adam Jennings. Do you think what he did was too much?"

Azura Loomis: ...

Azura Loomis didn’t want to say anything.

Just now, Adam Jennings’ Goodwill Value has directly dropped to below twenty points.

She knew he was growing wary of her, which is why she had deliberately arranged for someone to plant the doll. She didn’t expect it would still be discovered.

Adam Jennings must have seen the doll and guessed it was her doing.

At this point, if Azura doesn’t realize there’s a problem, then she’s truly foolish.

Why would Adam Jennings’ Goodwill Value drop so drastically without reason?

Even when Scarlett Jennings was targeting her, Adam Jennings only ever suspected her slightly, decreasing the points by one, two, three, four, or five.

Such a drastic decline in Goodwill Value definitely indicates he’s sure she’s the one behind it all.

Why was he so sure? After thinking it over, it could only be because the doll’s clothing had given her away...

[System: It is suggested that the host re-examines the placement of the other concealed items. If the objects previously arranged are not in their original locations, it indicates that not only has the host been discovered, but the existence of this system has also been exposed.]

Undoubtedly, the only person who could have discovered this is Scarlett Jennings.

Azura Loomis had come to realize this as well and was somewhat blaming the system,

"You clearly said before that under the concealment of your System Energy, even if it’s a master spiritualist, they wouldn’t be able to detect it."

This is already how many times now!

Initially, it said she wouldn’t be affected by malignant spirits, which is why she confidently went to that abandoned school building to look for the red skull.

As a result, she almost didn’t make it back, and also lost the trust of that idiot Lucas Jennings.

Originally, if she could have obtained that red skull wrapped in the silkworm cocoon to complete the collection of the Array Eye’s grudge-bearing object, she could already be directly weakening the Jennings Family’s Fortune now.

The incident with Hestia Knight also proved the same; it was said that the hidden Living Soul would never be exposed, yet in the end, it was Scarlett Jennings who publicly dragged it out, consequently revealing the existence of the System.

Thinking of the System, Azura Loomis felt inexplicably panicked in her heart,

"System, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t have already discovered your existence, could she?"

But if Scarlett had discovered it, why wouldn’t she guard against Azura taking action against Chase Jennings and the elder Madam Jennings?

It was precisely because the previous confrontations with Chase Jennings and the elder Madam Jennings went too smoothly that Azura had never considered this possibility.

Realizing this, Azura Loomis became somewhat restless, and promptly sent a message to "elder Madam Jennings," asking her to check the placements of those malign objects in the house.

The elder Madam Jennings at this moment was leisurely lying in the bed listening to opera, and showed a hint of annoyance upon seeing Azura’s "command."

Nevertheless, they were in the same boat after all.

She could only have someone push her out for another stroll.

About an hour later, the elder Madam Jennings finally sent a message.

[Except for the doll clothes, everything else is still there, but after the system’s sensing, there is no trace of malign energy. It seems that an identical object was used for the substitution.]

Seeing the message, Azura Loomis finally confirmed that she had been duped by Scarlett Jennings!

"She indeed already sensed the existence of you, the System!"

Despite her awareness, Scarlett let Azura and the System go unchecked to take over the bodies of Chase Jennings and the elder Madam Jennings, in order not to arouse their suspicion.

That Scarlett Jennings is truly cold-blooded and ruthless.

Heh, no wonder she isn’t favored by the elder Madam.

It’s just a shame for those malign objects that she had been secretly collecting for so long.

"I didn’t want to confront her directly before, but now it seems that without dealing with Scarlett Jennings first, I can’t smoothly take over the entire Jennings Family’s Fortune."

Azura Loomis said, her voice suddenly becoming grave,

"System, I need your help to deal with Scarlett Jennings."

Azura Loomis felt she had been tolerant enough with Scarlett Jennings; from the time she returned to the Jennings Family, even though she resented Scarlett for stealing everything that should have belonged to Azura, she never actually made a move against her.

But now, since Scarlett Jennings wants to ruin her plans.

Azura wouldn’t mind using the System’s power to let Scarlett know that she, Azura Loomis, is not someone that a mere Master like her can easily provoke.

Since Scarlett chooses to mess with her affairs.

Azura doesn’t mind changing her third target to Scarlett Jennings.

Anyway, Scarlett is also a member of the Jennings Family, isn’t she?

The System was not overly surprised by Azura Loomis switching her target to Scarlett Jennings. Upon hearing her request, the emotionless, mechanical voice of the System did not hesitate for a moment,

[It is possible.]

However, before Azura could show a triumphant expression, the System continued,

[However, considering the current accumulated System Energy is insufficient, in order to deal with Scarlett Jennings and take away all the Fortune belonging to the Jiang Family on her, the System needs the host to temporarily surrender all of her own Fortune and any that can currently be collected to the System.]

Upon hearing that the System wanted to take away her own Fortune as well, a moment of hesitation flashed through Azura’s heart, but was quickly suppressed by her determination to deal with Scarlett Jennings.

As long as Scarlett Jennings is handled, the other members of the Jennings Family will be at the mercy of Azura and the System.

Once she takes over the Jennings Family’s clan Fortune, this little bit of current Fortune will be insignificant.

Without further hesitation, Azura Loomis said,

"It’s possible!"
