The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 361: The Remaining Two Targets
Chapter 361: Chapter 361: The Remaining Two Targets
Chase Jennings couldn’t believe the bizarre scene unfolding before his eyes.
The Azura Loomis in front of him was still the girl he knew so well, yet at the same time, she seemed so unfamiliar.
In his mind, it was as if some kind of understanding was shattering, piece by piece.
Faintly, he felt like he had guessed something.
He wanted to scream, but he found that he couldn’t make any sound at all. Not just voiceless, he couldn’t even make any movements.
It was as if he was trapped in something.
Considering what Scarlett Jennings had encountered during her show recording and her previous accusations against Azura, by this time, if he still couldn’t see who was behind everything that was happening, he would truly be an idiot without a brain.
He was both terrified and angry inside.
He wanted to ask her, why do this to him?!
After all... after all he had sincerely felt for her...
Why him?
As if she knew the roar in his heart.
A hint of guilt flashed across Azura’s face.
Just a hint, almost negligible guilt.
"Brother Chase, don’t blame me, I asked you about it. It was you who agreed, wasn’t it?"
Her voice was very soft, tinged with a trace of helplessness.
If he sincerely cared for her, and if he was so genuine, then what was wrong with sacrificing a bit more for her?
If he was not even willing to make sacrifices, how could it be considered sincere?
Was merely setting up a nursery enough to be called sincerity?
For a member of the Jennings Family like Chase, such a room could be arranged at any time with money—ten or more—what did that count for?
Azura was not the type of girl who could be moved by a bouquet of roses and steak or a few designer bags.
The things she wanted were far more than these.
Not to mention, she didn’t have that kind of feeling for him.
After all, feelings couldn’t be forced, could they?
Azura could have waited until his Goodwill Value reached full before withdrawing all his Fortune in one go.
But that would have been too slow.
And without all of his Fortune, he would soon die.
It’s better this way.
His soul kept in a doll, could be preserved for a very long time, and he could still watch over her. Isn’t that nice?
While Azura Loomis was speaking with Chase, the "Chase Jennings" who had been standing beside her finally opened his mouth.
"After all, someone treated you sincerely. Don’t say things that hurt others," he said.
"He" leisurely looked at his hands, tugged at his clothes,
"Indeed, the young master of a rich family, designer clothes really do feel different."
Azura looked at "him", no longer exhibiting the gentle courtesy she had towards other members of the Jennings Family. Her expression carried a hidden disdain and impatience, and she warned him,
"Now that you occupy his body, play the role of the Jennings’ young master well. Stay calm and collected for these seven days, and it’s best not to show any flaws."
She paused, then added, "Just get through these seven days, and this body is yours. After that, you can do whatever you want."
"He" took Chase Jennings’ body.
And she, in turn, took all of Chase Jennings’ Fortune.
"Got it, don’t worry," he said with a laugh, then turned and went out to take a look at "his" new house.
As Azura watched his departing figure, she couldn’t help but ask her system,
"Is the Living Soul this time reliable? Let’s not have another blunder like Hestia Knight."
It was precisely because of Hestia Knight’s exposure that Scarlett Jennings began to suspect her.
Once Chase Jennings is exposed, the secret between her and the system will be completely revealed, and it would not be as easy to deal with the other Jennings Family members as it was today.
[System: The incident with Hestia Knight was merely an experiment; the Living Soul chosen for body snatching was randomly selected according to compatibility. This time, the three Living Souls are carefully selected by the system from big data, and they have established contact with my sub-system in advance and know what to do.]
"That’s good to hear."
[System: To avoid any accidents, it is recommended that the host expedite the body snatching of the other two Jennings Family members.]
"Don’t worry, I’ve already picked out my targets."
An Old Mrs. Jennings and an Odessa, both of whom currently rank in the top three in terms of Goodwill Value towards her within the Jennings Family.
Plus, they still have the dolls she gave them in the past.
Azura Loomis thought about striking while the iron is hot, planning to call the Old Mrs. Jennings later to bring Odessa out with her. As long as the body snatching of these two is successful, it would be much simpler to use them to deal with other Jennings Family members and lower the Fortune of the Jennings Family afterward.
Azura Loomis had a perfect plan, but then she heard the system’s emotionless voice adding abruptly,
[System: Reminder to the host, Odessa has just finalized her divorce with Michael Jennings, and after the divorce, she is no longer considered part of the Jennings Family. Her lack of Fortune will no longer affect the Jennings Family, so please choose your targets carefully.]
The system’s words made Azura Loomis furrow her brows deeply.
She hadn’t anticipated Odessa’s divorce having this kind of effect.
Feeling somewhat irritated at the moment.
She still had no idea why the second household decided to divorce so amicably.
And why it had to be done so quickly.
Why couldn’t it have been delayed by just ten or half a month?
But since the system had said that Odessa was no longer part of the Jennings Family, Azura Loomis had no choice but to switch her target.
"System, what other targets can I choose from now?"
Forget Old Sir Jiang and Luca Jennings.
The Goodwill Value for Lucas Jennings had been dwindling down long ago, and the doll he was given was disposed of quite some time ago as well.
What was left were only Michael Jennings and Brianna Jennings, the couple Blaise Jennings, and... Adam Jennings and Ismeria Jennings.
[System: Due to the previous doll incident, the dolls you gave out were mostly dealt with. The system suggests that the host can give out new dolls to establish a medium.]
Give out new dolls and keep them near the target for more than seven days.
Only by absorbing the target’s aura can the body snatching proceed smoothly.
Though unwilling in her heart, Azura Loomis had no other option.
She took out her phone, browsed through the list of Jennings Family members, her gaze suddenly landing on Adam Jennings’s name.
Yesterday, Adam Jennings’s Goodwill Value inexplicably dropped by a full thirty points.
Directly from 71 to failing.
Even though she was used to his Goodwill Value fluctuating without reason, that drop of thirty points still stung.
That also made her realize that relying solely on Goodwill Value was utterly unreliable, which is why she specifically designed to bring Chase Jennings back and arrange body snatching in advance.
Thinking of this, Azura Loomis became even more calculative towards Adam Jennings.
If she chose Adam Jennings, since he, like her, attended college, even if he were to be body-snatched, as long as he didn’t show up in front of the Jennings Family, it surely wouldn’t be easily exposed.
Seven days would certainly be safe to get through.
As though remembering something, Azura Loomis then asked,
"I recall that I hid an outfit for the doll in the compartment near Adam Jennings’s bedhead. That outfit should have his aura on it; can it be used?"
[System: It can. As long as that outfit is put on the doll, the requirements for body snatching can also be met.]
Azura Loomis immediately felt satisfied,
"Then, apart from Old Mrs. Jennings, I’ll choose him as the other target."
Since Adam Jennings harbors not the slightest affection for her, there’s no need for her to consider their past relationship anymore.
