The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Scarlett, It’s Me

Luca Jennings initially relaxed his mind because his wife and children were safe, but when he heard the cry of the person in his arms, he suddenly became tense again.

His always solemn face showed a bit of nervousness and urgency, and the hands holding the person suddenly tightened. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Don’t cry, I’m here."

He carefully examined his wife’s body and saw that compared to their two children, she appeared much more disheveled, even losing a shoe. His eyes instantly grew cold.

"Did they lay hands on you?"

Magnolia Hearne was about to say no when she saw the people at the door and the nearby clansmen, her head lowered immediately, revealing a somewhat aggrieved and sad look.

"Forget it, they are the elders, and this is not the first time they’ve done this."

She did not specify what this matter was, but Magnolia Hearne had forcibly returned to the clan grounds through bloodline technique from abroad and was forcibly suppressed due to the outburst of demonic power, making her much more disheveled than Scarlett Jennings and Donovan Jennings.

Coupled with Luca Jennings’ earlier questioning, everyone present instantly had an answer—

The elders indeed laid hands.

The people outside from the Mystical Sect and Mystic Regulation Office looked at the Hearne Tribe members with disdain and condemnation.

The clansmen who were originally righteous faced a bit of hesitation when confronted with these condemning looks at the door.

They were actually somewhat disbelieving.

After all, Aaron Hearne had personally led people inside just now, not intending to lay hands.

But with Magnolia Hearne’s demeanor, together with the sudden outbreak of strong demonic power from earlier in the hall, the clansmen responsible for guarding the door felt inadequate confidence before the elders.

Although Magnolia Hearne and Scarlett Jennings forcing their way in was wrong, clansmen are clansmen; truly laying hands is impossible.

Not to mention elders of such rank laying hands on juniors; speaking of this is simply bullying the weak.

For a time, the Hearne Tribe’s arrogance weakened.

Scarlett Jennings and Donovan Jennings heard Magnolia Hearne’s "selling pity" words, the two exchanged a look, both silently bowed their heads and remained silent, fully cooperating.

Combined with Magnolia Hearne’s aggrieved sobbing, the family of four maximized sympathy at the scene.

At this time, Aaron Hearne, carrying Magnolia Hearne’s shoe, came out: ...

Listening to her highly suggestive "slander," Aaron Hearne stood silently behind the shadow wall, not continuing to walk outside, just glanced at the shoe in hand, lightly flicked his fingertip, and the shoe automatically fell to the ground and went outside.

Meanwhile, Magnolia Hearne was still leaning against Luca Jennings, crying aggrievedly, only to see a shoe with little short legs bouncing towards her "running." Upon closer inspection, one would find the foot under the shoe was indeed a little fox leg formed from demon energy.

The shoe ran to Magnolia Hearne’s feet with a bang, returning to its original form.

Magnolia Hearne realized who the disappearing demon energy along with the little fox leg belonged to, her sobbing slightly paused, then fell silent, looking at the shoe without speaking.

Luca Jennings recognized it as her shoe, not asking why the shoe "ran" by itself.

Knowing he had a half-demon wife and a daughter skilled in various mystical techniques, he had learned to maintain a calm and composed attitude towards all sorts of strange occurrences.

Letting go of his wife, then squatting down, the man, always noble and steady, allowed his wife’s hand to rest on his shoulder, letting her lean against him, while he pulled up her shoeless ankle with one hand.

Wiping her foot clean with a handkerchief, he then carefully put the shoe on her foot.

Without more questions, he looked at his wife and their son and daughter, softly saying,

"Let’s go home."

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to solemnly thank those who came in support.

These people came either for Scarlett or for Magnolia Hearne; as a father and husband, he had to express gratitude on their behalf.

The group had originally come worried about Scarlett Jennings and her family being taken advantage of, and now seeing them unharmed, they were ready to leave.

People from the Mystical Sect and Demon Clan do not fuss over thank-you etiquette.

Just before leaving, Kingston Jennings was separately called by Hannah Hearne.

Seeing the red string on his wrist had already disappeared, Hannah Hearne glared at him unpleasantly,

"That string is meant to break in critical moments, you broke it just for opening a small door, wasting a fox fur of mine!"

Kingston Jennings saw her somewhat angry appearance, thought about it, lowered his head, and typed,

[I’m sorry.]

[Also, thank you.]
