Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Old Master Jiang’s Tactics

Earlier, people thought the Garrison Family was wealthy, and some even believed that even if Scarlett Jennings was taken away, she wouldn’t lose out.

But upon careful reflection, if the Garrison Family hadn’t taken the child, her own family might have been able to give Scarlett Jennings a better life.

Although the live stream was closed in time when the Garrison couple was taken away, many viewers still felt unsatisfied, and they flocked to discussions on Weibo, talking about today’s live broadcast in the program’s comment section.

But none of this had anything to do with Scarlett Jennings.

On the way back, Scarlett Jennings had already learned from Quincy Zimmerman about the million-dollar reward that was buzzing in the live stream earlier.

When she saw the list of rewards through the program’s screen recording, she was indeed a bit surprised.

Ivan and the Temple Master and even the Taoism Academy were understandable, but Samuel Chalmers personally rewarding her was something she hadn’t expected.

However, after thinking it over, she understood.

Boss Chalmers was probably doing it as a favor to her brother.

It was even possible that Donovan Jennings had forcibly pulled him in to support her.

Thinking about Donovan Jennings’ way of doing things, it didn’t seem impossible.

A faint smile moved across her lips, and Scarlett Jennings opened Samuel Chalmers’s chat message box to send him a message of thanks.

Samuel Chalmers, watching the end of the live broadcast, was pondering whose handiwork was behind the Garrison Family’s encounter. He was just thinking about it when his phone alerted him to a new message.

Samuel Chalmers first saw the sender’s name and suddenly remembered his appearance in the reward list, and for some reason, he wondered if the other person had already known about his reward.

He lightly tapped the message with his finger, and the moment he saw the content, his expression briefly showed some complexity.

How should he put it?

The content was indeed what he imagined, but it seemed a bit different.

[Scarlett Jennings: Although I know you’re doing it for my brother’s sake, thank you for the live broadcast reward.]

Samuel Chalmers: ...

Oddly, it felt like Donovan Jennings had stolen his credit.

Scarlett Jennings, after sending the message, also sent individual thank you messages to Ivan and the Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple.

Afterward, she put the messages out of her mind and directly browsed through the online comments.

By the time the car reached home, she already had a general understanding of the online rumors over the past half-day.

Returning to the Jennings Family, Lucas Jennings was still the first to greet her.

Donovan Jennings and Luca Jennings were still at the company. Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and asked about Old Sir Jiang.

Lucas Jennings said, "At this time, Grandpa should be in the greenhouse in the backyard."

Scarlett Jennings bypassed the villa and went to the back garden but didn’t see Old Sir Jiang. The two of them circled around and finally found him in the pavilion feeding a small fox.

When he saw them coming, Old Sir Jiang’s hand slightly paused from stroking the little fox, then he calmly retracted his hand and smiled at Scarlett Jennings,

"You’re back."

The small fox immediately scampered to her feet when it saw Scarlett Jennings and swiftly climbed onto her, and in an instant, settled into her arms.

Every time Lucas Jennings saw this chubby little fox’s movements, he was always shocked, wondering where its agility came from with such a chubby body.

Scarlett Jennings habitually scooped up the little fox in her arms, stepped forward, first greeted Old Sir Jiang, and then said directly,

"Thank you, Grandpa, about the Garrison Family being charged with child abduction."

Lucas Jennings had been teasing the little fox on the side when he heard this and couldn’t help but slightly widen his eyes, subconsciously looking at his grandfather.

"What? The matter of the Garrison Family being taken away, Grandpa, were you the one who arranged it?"

He had been wondering as he finished watching the live broadcast who was so smart, his first reaction being his uncle, but he hadn’t expected that it was the old man!

Old Sir Jiang ignored Lucas Jennings’s shock, only looked at Scarlett Jennings instead and asked, "How did you know it was me?"

"When Timothy Garrison and Emma White were taken away, I saw an additional karmic line on their faces."

Originally, she was just guessing, but seeing that same karmic line on Old Sir Jiang’s face confirmed her suspicion.

Regarding the Garrison Family, she didn’t know less than the Jennings Family.

But many old things, even Isolde Garrison pushing her back then to block the robbery, she had no evidence. Trying to hold the Garrison Family accountable via normal legal channels wasn’t very realistic.

So Scarlett Jennings hadn’t considered that possibility at first.

But she hadn’t expected that Old Sir Jiang would actually do this.

Even though Old Sir Jiang found her talk of karmic lines mystical, he didn’t dismiss it as nonsense like he did initially. He simply said,

"At the dinner party last time, when you mentioned the Garrison Family’s intentions, I had someone investigate your disappearance from back then. It took some time, and although most of the evidence couldn’t be found, we managed to find a witness."

Old Sir Jiang spoke, looking at Scarlett Jennings with the same kindly face as when they first met, but his words carried a few notes of resolute determination.

"To plot against the Jennings Family, there has to be some price to pay."

Though Old Sir Jiang was old, when it came to strategy, even the four Jennings children together couldn’t match.

Originally, in light of the fact that the Garrison Family had raised Scarlett well, Old Sir Jiang hadn’t intended to be so public.

But seeing the Garrison Family’s attitude in the live stream, even attempting to use the debt of nurturing to again manipulate the Jennings children, the old man felt that some people didn’t deserve any face to be saved.

And after Old Sir Jiang arranged for lawyers to file direct charges, Luca Jennings also began targeting the Garrison Family’s business.

After today, it would be impossible for the Garrison Family to recover.

Especially not in front of Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings was unsure about how she felt about all of this.

Besides her master, she hadn’t experienced what it felt like to be protected by someone since she was young.

After returning to the Jennings Family, even though not everything went her way, she had a dad and brothers.

And now, she realized she might have more than she thought.

On the other side, Josiah Garrison and Isolde Garrison were still unaware that the Garrison Family’s fate was already sealed. After Timothy Garrison and Emma White were taken away, they immediately contacted lawyers to try to get them out.

What they didn’t expect was that all the lawyers in Sea City refused to take the case.

Because Luca Jennings had declared, no lawyer was allowed to help the Garrison Family escape guilt.

Anyone who helped the Garrison Family would be going against the Jennings Family.

The Jennings Family’s stance was undeniably tough.

After all, at the last dinner party, upon hearing the Garrison Family’s scheming against Scarlett Jennings, the Jennings Family, in anger, had only severed ties with the Garrison Family, even without interfering with their business.

But that was for the sake of them having at least raised Scarlett Jennings.

Now, with the nurturing debt having its own hidden complications, the Jennings Family naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Josiah Garrison and Isolde Garrison were left frazzled by this sudden turn of events, with Josiah even going to other places overnight to find a lawyer to help, unable to manage the villa affairs anymore.

But since the ghost incident, especially with the eerie and terrifying "No" still displayed in large letters on the wall,

All the servants in the Garrison Family villa felt uneasy and resigned within days.

The enormous villa, though not yet cleared out, was already empty.
