Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Josiah Garrison Seeks Help
Because the reality show crew started the livestream early, Scarlett Jennings’ reaction naturally didn’t escape the eyes of the audience in the livestream room.
[Why does Scarlett Jennings look a bit off? Did she notice something again?]
[Everyone’s joining the show, but she’s the only one who likes to put on a sour face.]
[Exactly, she was also targeting Dashiell Xalvadora at the start of the broadcast. I’m really fed up with her!]
[Isn’t the reaction of the person above a bit much? She’s just furrowing her brow, how is that putting on a sour face?]
[I’ve realized that the young lady has quite a few haters.]
[I’ve noticed too, whenever Scarlett Jennings appears, there are always people in the comments criticizing her. Looks like internet shills to me.]
[Has someone targeted her? She’s just an amateur and hasn’t offended anyone.]
The livestream viewers had a discussion regarding who was targeting and hating on Scarlett Jennings.
In front of the camera, Scarlett Jennings and the team had already gotten off the vehicle with the crew.
After a momentary cold expression, Scarlett had adjusted herself, and when she got out of the car, her face was as unreadable as usual.
The villa in front of her was the Garrison Family’s villa.
It was a place Scarlett had lived in for eighteen years. No one knew it better than she did.
Almost immediately after stepping out of the car, she had already pinpointed the problem with the villa.
She just wasn’t sure if the Garrison family had brought in the show crew by coincidence or deliberately.
As soon as the team got out of the car, the family’s maid came to greet them. The moment she saw Scarlett Jennings, she smiled kindly and instinctively opened her mouth to speak.
"Miss..."
Before she could finish, Scarlett Jennings cast her a subtle glance and interrupted with a mild greeting, "Hello."
The maid pressed her lips together, reluctantly redirecting her gaze away from Scarlett and addressing the lead of the show crew instead.
"The lady and young master, and miss, are waiting inside. Everyone, please come in."
As they followed the maid inside, they found three people sitting in the living room, but their expressions were noticeably unpleasant.
Emma White didn’t need to say anything. Taking care of the siblings every day without a Jade Token for protection led to constant misfortune. Originally a graceful and privileged lady, she appeared visibly aged in the short time since they’d last seen her.
Josiah Garrison had been sheltering at the Clear Breeze Temple since Isolde Garrison refused to give up a Jade Token. He had started to recover a bit from his previous haggard and weary state, finding some peace, but he still appeared exhausted and spent.
Among the three, Isolde Garrison seemed to be in the best condition relatively speaking.
However, this only referred to her complexion. In other aspects, she was arguably the unluckiest one among them.
She had a cast on her leg, bandages wrapped around her head, and was seated in a wheelchair, looking as pitiful as could be.
The audience watching the livestream couldn’t help but be taken aback upon seeing the family.
[Wow, this family looks a bit miserable.]
[What happened to them?]
[It seems like each person is injured in some way.]
[Is it just me, or do all three seem to be staring at Scarlett Jennings?]
[It’s not just you, I feel that way too.]
[Even the maid seemed to be watching her.]
[Do they know her?]
"Is it you?"
Evander Simpson was the first to react in surprise, looking toward Josiah Garrison among the three.
Josiah moved his gaze away from Scarlett and turned to Evander with a pained smile, "Taoist Qingchen, we meet again."
Evander clearly understood what the case was about today, and his expression showed a tinge of difficulty. Without hiding anything, he directly explained to William Zeller.
"Host, Mr. Garrison had sought assistance from the Clear Breeze Temple for some issues before, but because the issues were somewhat tricky, the temple couldn’t handle his problem. I doubt I’ll be able to help him today either."
He spoke frankly, showing no embarrassment about revealing "his inability" in front of the audience.
After a pause, he added, "But if we could find Master Ruosheng, who provided the Amulet for the show, Mr. Garrison’s problem might be solved."
Evander had some private motives in saying this. He also wanted to meet Master Ruosheng in person.
Yesterday, he specifically asked about the origin of the Amulet, but when he asked Producer Zhou, he merely said it was requested through a friend.
Evander suspected he wasn’t telling the truth.
Quincy Zimmerman, standing next to Director Clark, heard this and frowned slightly before turning away with a cough, pretending not to notice.
William Zeller had also heard yesterday who provided the Life-saving Bag’s Amulet for the show, so he was familiar with who Evander referred to as Master Ruosheng.
But he couldn’t pursue that thread.
Master Ruosheng was skilled, but he wasn’t a guest on their show.
They were filming, so they couldn’t just call for outside help right away. So he chuckled and moved the conversation along.
"Well, let’s have our guests look at the situation first before we decide, since Mr. Garrison sought help from the show group."
Hearing this, Josiah Garrison stepped forward immediately.
"No need to trouble others. The problem with our home, she can solve it."
Josiah directly pointed at Scarlett Jennings.
All eyes followed the direction of his finger to Scarlett, and people couldn’t help but reveal expressions of surprise.
Being the person indicated, Scarlett seemed to have anticipated this and maintained her calm demeanor without showing much emotion, nor did she intend to respond.
"Do you... know each other?"
Everyone in the circle could sense the subtle dynamic, and Ariel Zimmerman surmised with just a glance that the family seemed acquainted with Scarlett.
Josiah pressed his lips together, remaining silent. On the other hand, Isolde, pushing her wheelchair over, donned a familiar pitiful look.
"Sister... please help brother."
This statement surprised not only the guests present but also shocked the audience watching the livestream.
[So they do know each other! Calling her sister, that relationship sounds complicated.]
[Suddenly, a clichéd love story popped into my head!]
[What a coincidence, me too.]
[A poor but outstanding female high school student falls in love with a second-generation rich boy, only to be driven away by the rich boy’s mother with money. When they meet again, the academic prodigy has transformed into the new darling of the Mystical Sect, and the rich family deeply regrets it...]
[Did you put surveillance in my head? How do you know what I’m thinking?]
[Since ancient times, deep affection can’t be kept, only plots win people’s hearts.]
[I bet one hundred hot strips, there’s definitely a story between the scholarly sister and this Garrison family’s son!]
Online fans never needed actual proof to ship a couple, just a single look was enough.
While the audience in front of the livestream indulged in their imaginations, Scarlett Jennings stood there, her gaze towards Isolde filled only with indifference.
Seeing that Scarlett wasn’t responding, Isolde quietly gritted her teeth and spoke again.
"Sister..."
However, before she could continue, Scarlett cut her off sharply.
"Do you believe that if you call me sister one more time, I’ll replay that recording here in front of the livestream?"
The blunt remark instantly drained the color from Isolde’s face, ruining the façade of frail innocence she had tried to maintain.
