Chapter 128: Chapter 128 The Official Account of the Taoism Academy Has Also Entered the Fray
After these days, Josiah Garrison faintly understood why Scarlett Jennings had such an attitude toward the family.
As his mother’s biological son, even he felt dissatisfaction due to her unfair treatment of Isolde.
And Scarlett, she had endured it for eighteen years.
Josiah had not been unaware in the past, he just never thought much of it nor cared.
"What advice?"
Not dwelling on what she called it, Josiah rationally wanted to solve the problem at hand.
Ariel Zimmerman and a few others on the side were also a bit curious.
According to Josiah’s previous accounts, the female ghost would appear in his dreams, suddenly sleeping on the other end of the bed, and each day seemed to sleep closer than the day before.
Judging by her behavior, it was highly probable the female ghost had taken a liking to Josiah.
The advice Scarlett hinted at, could it be suggesting a fake marriage between Josiah and the female ghost?
Ariel’s imagination ran wild, even starting to fantasize about the scene.
The expression of sympathy was unavoidable as the others looked at Josiah.
Scarlett didn’t notice the expressions of the guests beside her, she only glanced at Josiah, and it seemed as though she looked through him towards the Garrison Family living room behind him, speaking in a calm and collected voice,
"It’s simple, just relinquish this house."
She knew about the female ghost entangled with Josiah.
When she lived at the Garrison Family, even that ghost and another one behaved quite honestly, even after being expelled once, they returned and settled obediently at the base of the wall.
They didn’t take lives, so Scarlett naturally couldn’t forcefully kill them.
She let them nestle in the corners of the Garrison Family.
But unexpectedly, after she left the Garrison Family, those little ghosts started stirring again.
Scarlett finished her words succinctly, leaving Josiah and the guests momentarily stunned.
"Relinquish... the house?"
Josiah still hadn’t reacted.
Even Sebastian Carew couldn’t help but speak up, "Isn’t the female ghost targeting Mr. Garrison?"
Clearly, he and Ariel shared the same thought.
The latter nodded in agreement with great force, "Wouldn’t it involve a fake wedding and burning a fake effigy?"
Scarlett cast a somewhat odd look at the two of them.
"Who said that the female ghost is targeting people?"
Neither that ghost, nor the one accompanying her, initially aimed for the house.
Scarlett hadn’t delved deep, but they clearly had an obsession with the villa, an obsession preventing them from reincarnation, and due to lingering in a place too long, had subtly started to become bound spirits.
Yet, they weren’t true bound spirits, if forcefully driven away and made never to return, Scarlett could do that.
But...
Just because she could, didn’t mean she would choose to do so.
Especially not for Josiah.
Scarlett couldn’t be bothered to exert that effort, so she naturally proposed the most straightforward and simple way.
Josiah stared intently at Scarlett’s face, making sure she wasn’t joking, and his expression became genuinely unpleasant.
Emma White and Isolde Garrison heard her so-called "advice" and were equally in disbelief.
"You want us to give up the house? Why?"
Did she even know how much this house was worth now?!
Emma White thought Scarlett wasn’t genuinely trying to help the Garrison Family, maybe even aimed to make them lose more money!
Just like the last time, where she tricked Isolde into giving up five million, only to turn around and hand the recording over to that little wretch Delilah Woods to put online.
Thinking of this, Emma White looked at Scarlett with hatred in her eyes.
The viewers in the livestream had been somewhat persuaded by the earlier guild narratives, but Emma White’s glaring at Scarlett suddenly startled them.
Their suspicions deepened.
Mrs. Garrison wasn’t as gentle and elegant as she appeared, and perhaps there was indeed inside information on Scarlett being adopted by the Garrison Family?
Secrets of wealthy families weren’t simple.
At least, this drama was still too immature to digest.
Couldn’t handle it, better to watch a little longer.
"Simply because the ones being harassed are you."
Scarlett kindly responded to Emma White once, but without letting her dwell, she leisurely added,
"I’ve provided the suggestion, whether you accept it is your business."
Having said this, she simply stepped aside.
Appearing as if she had successfully retreated.
Josiah was visibly torn.
If what Scarlett said was true.
Then he had been mistaken from the start.
If it wasn’t for being on the livestream, to rid of the female ghost, he might have persuaded his father to sell the house.
But now, with the matter being broadcasted, everyone would know the villa had issues, and even if they wanted to sell, no one would want to take it.
If no one was willing to take it, it simply meant relinquishing the house.
That would directly lose the Garrison Family tens of millions!
Josiah couldn’t make up his mind.
Still attempted to discuss it further with Scarlett.
William Zeller, as the show’s host, finally regained his footing.
Stepping forward, he didn’t directly intend to help Josiah persuade but simply asked,
"Scarlett, from your tone, you seem to know Mr. Garrison’s problem well, could you possibly explain in detail to us? Why is relinquishing the house sufficient?"
Scarlett, hearing this, looked at William, then glanced at the livestream camera,
"Are you sure you want me to say it outright?"
There was still a hint of doubt in her tone.
After all, the show had been urgently shut down yesterday due to sensitive content.
Even with his rich hosting experience, William was thrown off by Scarlett’s straightforward counter-question, momentarily leaving him speechless.
However, soon, his inability to speak wasn’t a problem.
Because just then, in front of the "Inspiration" livestream, the screen finally settled down from the "Ten Thousand Stars" effect wave, the following second, familiar "Ten Thousand Stars" burst forth again.
Netizens: ...
[Feels like I’m used to it now.]
[After seeing this effect repeatedly, it seems mundane, dare them to trigger it another hundred times, guarantee I’d get sick of it!]
[A mere ten thousand dollar effect gift, doesn’t impress me at all, come on, platform, release a new gift.]
[Yeah! Drop the link! It’s just a ten thousand dollar gift, our Scarlett Legion can afford it!]
[This Scarlett Legion isn’t wrong, everyone treats money like it’s nothing.]
[Wow! Did you guys notice who donated this time?]
[Was it Scarlett Legion? Even a few more wouldn’t surprise... ah! Who’s the big shot now? Who?!]
[I’m not mistaken, right? This is... the official account?]
[You’re not mistaken! I just checked the homepage! It’s indeed the verified official account!!]
As the comments raced by, nearly every viewer in the livestream focus locked onto the newly published gift announcement—
[Thanks to Sea City Taoist Academy for gifting the streamer "Inspiration" with a "Ten Thousand Stars"!]
