The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 324 The Price of Wishing Come True

Odessa liked Luca Jennings.

She fell crazily in love with him the moment she laid eyes on him.

But she also understood that as the elder son of the Jennings Family and the family heir, it was impossible for her to marry him with her family background.

The Jennings Family would not accept an "actor" as their daughter-in-law.

So she settled for second best, taking the initiative to pursue his brother.

Compared to Luca, the eldest, Michael Jennings was wholeheartedly chasing his so-called music dreams, proud of his talent, an advocate for free love who disliked restrictions.

Such a person would not be too fussy about family background and social status.

Odessa grasped this point and let him believe he had found love, using it to marry into the Jennings Family.

Over the years, to outsiders, Michael always posed as a successful musician, but in Odessa’s view, his so-called talent was nothing but the result of the Jennings Family splurging money on packaging him.

However, it was a strength in itself to become the second son of the Jennings Family, the brother of Luca.

Odessa became his sister-in-law, and even though she could not possess this man, it was good enough to see him every day.

The first time she felt aggrieved was when Luca got married to a woman from an ordinary family against the opposition of the two Jennings elders.

Only then did she realize that even the heir of the Jennings Family could marry a woman of unequal family background, as long as he wished to.

If only she had known earlier... that position should have been hers.

Later, the woman gave birth to Donovan Jennings and Scarlett Jennings.

Fortunately, Scarlett went missing shortly after she was born, and the woman’s whereabouts became unknown, her life or death uncertain.

For many years, everyone assumed she was dead.

After losing his wife and daughter, Luca became increasingly stern; besides mentoring Donovan, he turned into a heartless money-making automaton, investing all his energy in work.

Sometimes, Odessa felt incredibly sorry for him.

But she was also grateful.

How wonderful it was that there were no other women by his side.

Later, Madame Jennings brought home Azura Loomis, explaining that since the house was full of boys, a little girl should be added.

In her heart, Odessa knew that Madame Jennings wanted Azura to replace Scarlett as Luca’s daughter.

But Luca had not given in for many years.

Odessa also gained insight from this.

If Luca wanted a daughter, she could give him one.

Odessa knew the rules of the Jennings Family and dared not do anything inappropriate.

After all, with Luca’s temperament, once he sensed her feelings for him, she would definitely not be able to stay in the Jennings Family.

Of course, she wasn’t that foolish.

What she wanted was to let her daughter replace Scarlett and become his child.

Rounded up, that would be a child she shared with him.

With this little scheme in mind, after several years of striving with Michael, they finally had Ismeria Jennings.

From the time Ismeria was cognizant, she always encouraged her to get close to Luca.

Even when Ismeria was two years old, she had hinted at wanting Ismeria to move into the Princess Room that Luca had prepared especially for his daughter.

She wanted Ismeria to gradually take the place of that woman’s child in the depth of Luca’s heart.

Unfortunately, Luca did not agree.

After losing his daughter, that room became his only consolation; even if he never stepped foot in it, it was always the place he left for his daughter.

Even for his own niece, he did not want her to take over what should belong to his daughter.

Of course, after his biological daughter came back, that room became comparatively less significant.

That’s also why, after Scarlett came back home, Odessa once again set her sights on that room.

It’s not for any other reason, but simply because she doesn’t want that woman’s daughter to live so comfortably.

...

Over the years, Odessa has repressed her feelings, not daring to reveal a hint of her love for Luca Jennings.

But the more she does this, the less she wants to interact with him merely as his brother’s wife.

They live under the same roof.

Yet the time they actually meet and interact is extremely scarce!

Not to mention spending time together privately.

Odessa always feels it’s because they’re under the Jennings Family’s roof that they naturally restrain their emotions.

If they could bump into each other outside, perhaps things would be different.

These years, she hasn’t stopped trying to create such opportunities, coincidentally going to the same restaurant as him when he’s dining with others.

When he accompanies the grandmother to social events, she follows under the guise of taking care of the elderly lady.

However, the effects are almost nil.

Odessa thinks it’s better to stay away from the Jennings Family; without those hindering factors, the situation should improve.

The opportunity with that variety show is perfect.

The city he’s traveling to for business isn’t a famous scenic city, so she can’t go there under the guise of tourism.

Both are going for work.

If she runs into some "difficulty" at the show, she can directly seek his help, and in doing so, their interactions would naturally become more frequent.

The only thing that dissatisfies her is that among the invited guests on the show, there is also a female celebrity who has been away from the screen for many years and is of higher status than her.

She had always been overshadowed by that person when acting in the past.

Now that she’s re-emerging in front of the camera, she can’t be overshadowed again.

"I am now the Second Madam of the Jennings Family after all, and when I reappear on screen, I represent the face of the Jennings Family. I can’t still be overshadowed by a has-been celebrity. Michael suggested that I simply not go..."

According to Michael’s logic, that means, as long as you don’t go, no one can overshadow your status.

What absurd reasoning!

Odessa looks at Azura Loomis, feigning distress,

"Violet has started elementary school, and I can’t always revolve around the child. I want to do some work that I like from time to time. After all, people need to enrich themselves to feel fulfilled. Azura, you agree, right?"

She shares these thoughts with Azura in hopes of borrowing Azura’s "good fortune" for success and, ideally, preventing that other person from participating in the show.

Of course, Azura understands what Odessa means.

Over the years, it’s exactly this type of "fortune" that has continuously increased Odessa’s Goodwill Value toward her.

But in the past, Odessa wouldn’t show her intentions to Azura this openly and blatantly.

As if she’s treating herself as a wishing charm.

Azura secretly disdains this, but on the surface, she still plays the part of being sweet and submissive, "Aunt Odessa is right, you should go."

Odessa immediately beams with joy, "Azura, you’re such a good student, smart and capable. Do you have any solutions?"

Azura shakes her head, feigning helplessness,

"I’m just a foster child in the Jennings Family, how could I have any solution?"

As she speaks, not waiting for Odessa’s mood to turn sour, she looks at her with a soft voice,

"But Aunt Odessa, you’re so excellent, surely you will achieve what you wish for even without doing anything."

Odessa’s heart instantly steadies.

Basically, if Azura says so, then she will certainly achieve what she wishes for!

Azura, still smiling gently at Odessa’s joyful expression, holds nothing but contempt inside.

Think of it as a bit of sweetness given before withdrawing fortune.

Using the system to help her once, and then extracting a tenfold reward later doesn’t seem too excessive, right?
