The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 967

Chapter 967: Chapter 967: Substitute

The Demon Energy of the King Fox descended heavily, accompanied by oppressive force.

Not only towards the elders present, but also towards Magnolia Hearne and Scarlett Jennings.

At this moment, Scarlett Jennings truly realized the immense power of this "Grandmother’s" demonic power.

It was an existence far more powerful than Aaron Hearne.

It was an existence her mere six tails couldn’t possibly compete with.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the person seated.

Clearly understanding that the other party was issuing a warning.

Not just warning the elders, but warning her and her mom.

...

An elder’s tail was pinned to the floor, his expression somewhat distorted, yet he couldn’t say another word to Emily Hearne.

Not just him, other elders were quiet now too.

They could demand that Emily, the Clan Leader, fulfill her obligations in the name of the Hearne Clan, but pushing further would provoke her.

Just like her daughter.

Emily saw everyone had settled down and then retracted her tail, a flick of the tip drying off the blood droplets.

She then looked at Magnolia, her tone indifferent,

"You too, if you don’t want to talk, then don’t talk. Don’t rely on your young age to play games with the elders."

Her tone was so serious that the elders nearby almost choked.

Do you call what she just did playing games?!

That was clearly her pointing at them and scolding them!

Ultimately, it was because she dared to act recklessly only because she was the offspring of the King Fox; otherwise, according to the clan’s desires, they wouldn’t even need to inform Magnolia of this matter.

If she wanted to resist, there’d be no result.

The clan was determined to use a vessel to bring the Ten-tailed Sky Fox back to life.

Magnolia didn’t mind much about Emily’s choice of words; she just looked at her with reddened eyes and retorted,

"Talk about what? About how you plan to treat my son? This matter was never negotiable from the start. If you don’t return Donovan to me, I’ll only take him by force."

Magnolia paused suddenly, her gaze tightly fixed on Emily, asking her,

"If I risk my life to take him, Mother, will you kill me?"

Emily simply stared at her quietly for a long time, then seemingly sighed,

"No mother would kill her own child."

As everyone thought she was compromising, they heard her shift her gaze to Scarlett beside her, speaking coldly,

"I won’t kill you, but this child who shares only half your bloodline, I can’t promise."

Her voice was calm, but the killing intent in her gaze made Magnolia and Scarlett both feel their scalps prickling.

Beside them, Aaron’s brows furrowed slightly, instinctively wanting to step forward, but as soon as he moved, Emily’s gaze casually swept over him.

Aaron’s movement halted, holding back his urge without further action.

No one thought her words were a joke.

Magnolia certainly didn’t; she knew her mother, whose heart was always cold.

Even when coupled with someone to give birth to a child, it was only to continue her bloodline.

Aaron was the same, and she was even more so.

She said no mother would kill her child.

Not because she loved her.

Her words were merely a reminder not to indirectly cause the death of her own child through foolishness.

She was using Scarlett’s life to threaten her to give up her other child.
