The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Wait for Its Rebirth Through Blood and Fire

Perhaps the lamentation after learning the truth exhausted the last shred of Grace’s spirit.

Suddenly, the weak Grace flickered with spiritual light and unexpectedly transformed back into her original form, the Jade Cabbage.

Contrary to what one might imagine, the Jade Cabbage, which was only the size of a palm, was noticeably missing a leaf at this time.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have been chewed off.

The remaining parts inadvertently got stained with the black water formed by the black mist, causing the originally jade-white leaves to appear faintly blackened.

Adam Jennings was awakened by the sound of crying, and upon opening his eyes, he saw the scene of a living person transforming into a cabbage, instinctively widening his eyes.

"Is this, is this the cabbage?"

Scarlett Jennings glanced at him, nodded, and then took out a talisman, sticking it onto the Jade Cabbage. She quickly performed a mantra, helping to eliminate the resentful aura that had tainted it.

Watching her actions, Adam Jennings furrowed his brows,

"This Grace is bad, and you still want to save her?"

Scarlett didn’t respond to him, focused on reciting her spells.

Adam sulkily withdrew, looking at the reception room that looked like a bomb had hit it, and clicked his tongue again.

Lowering his head, he saw that the Benedict Jade was still intact, wondering if it was just his illusion, he vaguely felt that the Benedict was slightly larger now.

The Benedict Beast was facing towards Grace, and at that moment, its eyes seemed fixed on the Jade Cabbage, prompting him to instinctively reach out and cover its eyes.

"Don’t eat this; the jade has turned black."

Grace: ...

Thank you.

Grace recovered two days later.

By then, her original form was lying on Scarlett’s workbench, with a small array replenishing her lost spiritual energy.

Grace looked around in a daze and couldn’t help but ask Scarlett Jennings,

"Why are you still saving me?"

With her original form damaged and her spiritual energy deficient, wouldn’t it be better to just let her turn back into an ordinary Jade Cabbage?

Scarlett was polishing a Jade Bead in her hand, and upon seeing Grace regaining her spiritual form, she glanced at her and said,

"I haven’t finished asking about you and that Mr. Nian."

"Haven’t you already figured it all out?"

Grace mumbled, recalling what Scarlett had said before she transformed back, and couldn’t help but tear up again.

But soon, she rubbed her eyes and straightforwardly said to Scarlett,

"About him, I don’t know much either. Besides having me replicate counterfeits and steal spiritual energy from the genuine articles, he’s always looking for something. I overheard him once mentioning on the phone, saying it’s related to... Otherworld."

Upon hearing the words ’Otherworld,’ Scarlett suddenly paused her movements.

Finally, she put down what she was holding and looked at Grace.

"What is it?"

"I’m not sure either, but it’s definitely something about Ancient Artifacts or the like."

Scarlett thought deeply upon hearing this. Could it be that the Black Mist Organization is also searching for trace of the Otherworld?

How much do they already know?

While contemplating, Grace hesitantly said,

"Actually, I suspect that he approached me initially because he thought I had contacted that Ancient Artifact. He was curious about how I achieved Spirit Transformation so quickly before, but I never told him, fearing that once he’s done using me, he’d just absorb my spiritual energy too..."

"So you did come into contact with that thing he wanted?"

Seeing Scarlett’s interest, Grace thought for a moment, seemingly coming to a decision,

"If I tell you, can you protect me?"

Regarding how she achieved Spirit Transformation, she never even told that man.

Perhaps it was because of Scarlett’s words, or maybe because Scarlett didn’t let the Benedict Beast completely consume her while she was weak.

She even... helped nurture her Jade Soul.

Grace felt that Scarlett in front of her was more trustworthy than that man.

In fact, she had no other choice but to trust Scarlett.

Right now, she was too weak.

Her body was damaged, and to fully repair it, she could only seek help from that one.

That other Grace.

Scarlett looked at Grace, not immediately agreeing.

She couldn’t be sure if this was a trap set by Grace and that Mr. Nian.
