Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes-Chapter 364: Permission

But she forced herself to hold them back.

After everything was finalized, Lana took Jenny with her.

The moment Jenny saw the luxurious car Lana was traveling in, her mouth fell open in amazement.

Jenny turned toward Lana in disbelief.

"I never thought you were this rich."

Lana chuckled softly. "This car isn’t mine," she replied casually. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"It belongs to my husband... or maybe you could say my boyfriend."

Hearing those words, Mr. Crow glanced at Lana and slowly shook his head, the corners of his mouth twitching as if he had just witnessed something unbelievable.

"You really know how to take advantage of people," he remarked dryly.

Lana merely stuck out her tongue playfully, her expression completely shameless.

After everything that had happened in the dream world with Lucian, she had already started considering him her half-boyfriend in her heart.

’After all the tofu I’ve eaten, how could I possibly not take responsibility?’ she thought confidently.

From her perspective, since she had already taken advantage of Lucian more than once in that dream illusion, it was only natural that she treat him as her boyfriend, at least halfway.

So using his car and calling it her boyfriend’s car didn’t seem wrong to her at all.

Mr. Crow stared at her for a moment, feeling several invisible question marks appear above his forehead.

’She calls this taking responsibility?’

In his mind, claiming Lucian’s car as her boyfriend’s car was the most ridiculous definition of responsibility he had ever heard.

But then again, that Lucian fellow wasn’t exactly pure-minded either.

Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Crow silently concluded that the two of them truly suited each other.

’Neither of them is exactly innocent,’ he mused quietly.

With that thought, he wisely decided to remain silent.

Meanwhile, Jenny was filled with amazement as she looked at Lana.

Who would have thought Lana had such a rich boyfriend?

From Jenny’s perspective, Lana was a powerful mystic cultivator. Among cultivators, it was quite common to have powerful or wealthy partners.

’Maybe this is normal for people like her,’ Jenny thought quietly.

So she didn’t say anything.

Once they got inside the car, Jenny couldn’t help but look around constantly. Her eyes wandered everywhere like a curious child visiting a palace for the first time.

Jenny touched the armrest lightly, her eyes wide.

’Everything here looks so luxurious...’

For nearly ten minutes she kept looking around, examining every tiny detail.

Then suddenly she realized something. Lana hadn’t said a single word during all this time.

A trace of embarrassment immediately appeared on Jenny’s face.

Slowly, she turned to look at Lana.

Lana was sitting calmly beside her, completely focused on several documents in her hands. She appeared to be reviewing some kind of assignment.

Seeing this, Jenny secretly let out a sigh of relief.

’Thank goodness...’

She had been worried Lana might be secretly laughing at her behavior.

However, if Jenny had known Lana’s real thoughts at that moment, she would have realized that Lana was indeed laughing, just silently.

That truth became clear the next second.

Lana suddenly looked at Jenny with a teasing smile and asked,

"So, how did it feel looking around like a curious little bunny?"

Jenny instantly felt heat rush to her cheeks. "I..."

She lowered her head in embarrassment. "It is just... far beyond what I expected."

Lana nodded understandingly. "Honestly, I felt the same way the first time I sat in a car like this."

Her lips curved slightly as she added,

"But I still liked how graceful you looked while observing everything."

Jenny’s face turned even redder. Finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore and snapped,

"Stop teasing me like that!"

Lana chuckled softly.

"The teasing will only increase from now on."

In her previous life, Jenny always had an indifferent attitude. But she often teased Lana endlessly, leaving Lana frustrated and annoyed.

It was only after Jenny died in that life that Lana finally realized the truth.

Jenny had teased her because she noticed how depressed Lana often looked.

Lana had always carried an uncomfortable heaviness in her heart back then.

So Jenny had used humor and teasing to make Lana relax.

Now, Lana was simply returning the favor.

’This is revenge... but also gratitude,’ Lana thought quietly.

If the Jenny from the future could hear Lana’s thoughts right now, she would probably spit out blood in disbelief.

Meanwhile, the car slowly arrived at the mansion.

The moment Jenny stepped out of the car, she felt as if she had stepped straight into a fairy tale.

Just yesterday she had been living in a damp attic that smelled of mold and dust.

Now she stood in front of a magnificent mansion that looked like something from a storybook.

The towering gates, the elegant garden paths, and the shining white walls made her feel as if she had suddenly jumped from rags to riches overnight.

Lana led her inside calmly.

By now, Jenny had already become somewhat used to Lana’s extravagant lifestyle. Everything Lana possessed seemed beautiful and luxurious.

’Maybe beautiful people really do live in beautiful worlds,’ Jenny thought quietly.

After settling things for a while, Lana led Jenny to the guest room prepared for her.

When Jenny opened the door, she froze.

The room was enormous.

Its white interior gleamed softly under the sunlight streaming through the large windows. The bed alone looked large enough to fit four people comfortably.

The entire room was almost twice the size of her grandfather’s house.

Jenny turned to Lana nervously.

"You really don’t need to do this much for me," she murmured. "Even a small guest room would have been enough."

Lana chuckled lightly.

"This is only temporary."

She leaned casually against the doorway.

"This mansion doesn’t belong to me. Otherwise, I would have simply let you stay here permanently."

She paused briefly before continuing.

"But once I get permission from my boyfriend, I’ll make sure you can live here until you find a place of your own."

Jenny nodded gratefully.

Soon after, Lana went to contact Lucian for permission.
