The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Don’t Call Me Mom, I’m Not Your Mom

Even though it had been eighteen years since they last met, everyone except a few children from each family immediately recognized Magnolia Hearne.

Especially Luca Jennings’ three younger siblings, who instinctively widened their eyes when they saw Magnolia Hearne.

However, before they could express their surprise, Mrs. Jennings suddenly blurted out.

Everyone in the hall, including Luca Jennings, was visibly taken aback.

No one understood why the old lady reacted that way.

Why would she say... What’s the point?

Facing everyone’s confused gazes, Mrs. Jennings continued with regret,

"My eldest daughter-in-law has been gone for so many years, I thought you’d finally let go, only to find this...

Luca, even if she looks just like her, she’s not her, why put yourself through this?"

The old lady’s words instantly led the other adults from the three branches astray.

Looking again at Magnolia Hearne, their faces showed a mixture of realization, shock, and helplessness toward Luca Jennings.

It’s no wonder they made such a mistake; although the body of Logan was never found back then, signs of a struggle were found on the beach, along with some of Logan’s internal organs.

So, despite Luca Jennings’ strong interventions resulting in Logan being officially declared missing all these years, everyone in the Jennings Family was convinced that Logan had died.

Hearing these words, Luca Jennings knew without a doubt the old lady had misunderstood. His already grave face became even more serious,

"Mom, you’ve made a mistake."

Before he could finish, the old lady cut him off again,

"Mistake? What mistake? I know you can’t let go, but there’s no need to find a substitute like this. Did you consider Scarlett and Donovan’s feelings?"

Listening to the old lady’s words, Magnolia Hearne couldn’t help but blink, stepping forward with a smile, trying to speak,

"Mom..."

"Don’t call me Mom! You’re not my daughter-in-law yet! Don’t call me that!"

Mrs. Jennings bluntly interrupted Logan, her face showing a bit of sternness as she turned to Luca Jennings,

"You’re usually smart, do you really think you could encounter someone who looks exactly like her again?

You should know that with today’s advanced cosmetic surgery techniques, how do you know she’s not using this face to get close to you on purpose?"

Beyond the substitute theory, the old lady began to entertain conspiracy theories in her mind.

Feeling even more helpless, why does her eldest always encounter such women?

The previous daughter-in-law was after his money, and this one appears to have ulterior motives too.

It’s thanks to her cleverness that she saw through this woman’s act at a glance.

Listening to Mrs. Jennings’ sorrowful monologue, even leading others in the room astray, Luca Jennings interrupted her directly,

"Mom, she is Logan."

Mrs. Jennings didn’t believe it, "Don’t lie to me, she’s definitely tricking you!"

Magnolia Hearne was also speechless,

"Mom..."

"Didn’t I say don’t call me Mom! I’m not your Mom!"

Having been rebuffed twice in a row, the poised calm Magnolia Hearne momentarily broke down, shouting,

"Old lady! You said Luca is smart, do you really think he wouldn’t recognize his own wife? Do you think you’re more perceptive or he is? I’ve said it, I’m Logan, I’m Logan! Old Sir Jiang hasn’t spoken, don’t make wild assumptions."

Magnolia Hearne’s outburst towards Mrs. Jennings rendered her speechless, and the familiar aura instantly washed over the room, especially when she addressed her as "Old lady."

Magnolia Hearne still didn’t feel satisfied, tilting her chin,

"If you still don’t believe it, then listen to your eldest grandson and granddaughter."

Saying this, she beckoned Donovan and Scarlett,

"Call me."

Donovan and Scarlett cooperated perfectly, simultaneously calling her, "Mom."

Instantly, she turned to him with a warm and pleased smile, her voice full of gentleness and comfort, 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The aunt who had once disappeared and was pronounced dead.

He opened his mouth, attempting to use his own voice to call her.

Magnolia Hearne seemed to sense it, soothing him with a look, then said,

"Sorry, for not fulfilling what I promised you before."

Fortunately, he lived on.

"I’m back."

She said, reaching out to gently pat Kingston Jennings on the shoulder.

Kingston lowered his head; although he didn’t say anything else, it inexplicably made people feel he was happy.

Adam Jennings watched from the side, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but knowing this aunt carried special significance for Kingston Jennings.

Plus, on a day like today, he certainly wouldn’t show anything on his face.

Among the younger generation, besides Kingston Jennings, the only one who could recognize Magnolia Hearne was Chase Jennings.

After Magnolia Hearne greeted all the elders in the family one by one, Old Sir Jiang asked the younger relatives to come forward individually and introduce themselves.

Chase, being second only to Donovan in age, naturally stepped forward first, behaving properly as he politely called,

"Aunt."

Mainly fearing Scarlett would find him impolite and instigate Lionel Strickland to teach him a lesson.

Somehow, since coming back with his uncle this time, he always felt Scarlett was looking at him with a bit of disdain.

As Chase pondered this, he saw Magnolia Hearne squint at him,

"I remember you, Chase."

Pausing for a moment, then smiling,

"I heard you found someone to blacken Scarlett on a show before, huh?"
