Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Spoil Your Sister Without Thinking

Adam Jennings was on the verge of exploding with anger. This troublesome brother, ever since turning traitor, only knew how to call "sister" every day. Anyone unaware might think he was under a spell.

"She’s doing it on purpose. She draws all those talismans herself. Does she really need the money from one more talisman? Besides, how much could one talisman possibly cost?"

Old Sir Jennings, who had been silent all along, suddenly seemed intrigued and couldn’t help but laughingly ask,

"Do you know how much one of Scarlett’s talismans costs?"

Lucas Jennings heard his grandfather speak and immediately puffed out his chest, holding up two fingers toward the study where the two men were, "Two thousand, at least!"

Two thousand was the base price.

Two thousand bucks, in the Jennings Family, was money they were too lazy to pick up if dropped on the ground.

Previously, Lucas would have scoffed at Scarlett Jennings, a Jennings Family princess, for being so shabby.

*But now he didn’t think like that anymore.*

Those were talismans his sister drew with her own skills, and the pricing was justified.

*Compared to those of them living on the family’s affluence, his sister was already quite remarkable!*

Old Sir Jennings also raised an eyebrow at hearing the pricing, not finding it low. Outside in ordinary families, two thousand was utterly pricey, while even a few hundred was considered steep.

However, compared to some companies paying millions for geomancy services, this amount was not much at all.

Scarlett earned her money through her own merit; he wouldn’t see it as a blot on the Jennings Family’s honor.

Especially since, after an investigation into her days with the Garrison Family, he realized why she needed to earn her own money.

The Garrison Family looked glamorous from the outside and didn’t treat her poorly in terms of food and living, but they gave no allowance whatsoever.

Claiming it was to prevent her from developing a habit of spending lavishly, which was basically just making her reliant on the Garrisons with nowhere else to go.

Luca Jennings knew Scarlett was selling talismans to make some pocket money, but hearing Lucas mention the pricing, he felt a pang of heartache.

*She worked so hard drawing talismans, and yet each only sold for two thousand bucks. She was still lacking money.*

Luca silently took out his phone, ready to transfer another hundred thousand to her for her spending.

Don’t ask why, just because he adored the kid.

Adam originally waited for his grandfather and uncle to stand up for him. But after a long wait, his grandfather was curious and his uncle felt sympathetic, but neither showed any intention of helping him.

Yet now, he couldn’t even speak normally, with nothing to prove it, so he could only swallow his grievances.

*He was a big-hearted man, not about to bicker with a little woman!*

Adam thought this matter would just blow over.

But the next day, the Jennings Family was unusually gathered together for breakfast.

Scarlett came downstairs a little late and greeted the elders before preparing to sit down.

Seeing her reminded Adam of the grievances he suffered last night. He thought to take advantage of the family gathering to get her to admit what she did to him in front of his grandfather and uncle.

But, just as he was about to speak, the sensation of his mouth being sealed shut hit him again!

Adam’s eyes widened slowly again.

Turning his head, meeting Scarlett’s not-quite-smiling face, Adam’s face flushed red once more.

*So her spell was targeted at him!*

The more he recalled how her bet with him was for him to avoid speaking in front of her, the more deeply humiliated Adam felt!

*Was there no level of disdain for talking with him?!*

*This was outrageous!*

Adam’s expression changed, yet he couldn’t utter a word. Unwilling to let it go, he put down his utensils, picked up his phone, and started typing furiously in the group chat.

The rest of the Jennings Family quietly eating breakfast were caught off guard as their phones chimed in unison with group messages, everyone felt puzzled.

Everyone was here, who was messaging in the group chat?

Upon checking, they saw it was from Adam.

He claimed Scarlett put him under a spell, making him unable to speak when he saw her!

Lucas, seeing this was the same thing again, grew a bit impatient,

"Brother Adam, hasn’t this already passed? Why bring it up again? My sister just came downstairs, how could she have had time to cast a spell on you? Besides, you obviously can speak! You were just talking to Azura Loomis!"

Hearing this, Adam fumed. Seeing the rest of the Jennings Family equally perplexed, he bowed his head again to type furiously.

[Adam Jennings: She cast the spell on me last night, it’s specifically targeted at her. I can speak normally with everyone else, but when it comes to her, I can’t say a word!]

The Jennings Family members, upon seeing this, instinctively looked toward Scarlett, finding it hard to believe such a bizarre spell could exist.

Michael Jennings, who always disliked Scarlett’s involvement in these mystical matters because he simply didn’t believe in them, heard his son spouting about these things and immediately his face fell,

"Why are you talking about this nonsense too? If you find staying at home boring, why don’t you make plans with friends to go on a vacation?"

Adam was utterly shocked that the first to doubt him was his own father!

And his words implied Adam was reluctant to go out and have fun?

Originally, he had planned with friends to vacation abroad this holiday! Plane tickets were booked, luggage was packed, but when Scarlett was brought back, Grandfather decreed everyone to stay home for a formal greeting.

So his foreign trip was canceled, as well as the summer camp Lucas and Azura originally signed up for.

If it weren’t for Grandma and someone else still residing in the sanatorium, Grandpa might have summoned them back as well.

*The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.*

Adam began typing furiously once more,

[Adam Jennings: Dad! I really can’t speak right now! jpg crazy expression emoji]

Lucas didn’t speak any further, simply picked up his phone and replied in the group chat.

[Lucas Jennings: Ha ha.]

Adam: ...

*This brother was useless.*

Since the last time Azura carelessly lost Lucas’s Goodwill Value, she had been more cautious with her words. In front of the elders, she would not join in doubting Scarlett, instead softly asking,

"Adam, are you misunderstanding? Scarlett wouldn’t do such a thing, we’re all family."

Third Aunt Flora Xalvadora chimed in as well,

"Yes, Scarlett has some skills, but it’s impossible she would do something like this to you."

Odessa added, "Is your throat feeling uncomfortable? How about having the family doctor come over this afternoon to check you out?"

Hearing everyone’s comments one after another, Adam felt frantic but couldn’t find a way to explain or prove himself.

Feeling utterly frustrated, he suddenly heard Scarlett slowly speak up,

"I did place a prohibition on him, specifically targeting myself."

When Scarlett suddenly confessed, the Jennings Family didn’t know how to react, all looking at her with disbelief.

*So Adam wasn’t just acting?*

*Well, this...*

Even Lucas found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

At a critical moment, you had to rely on Donovan Jennings.

He tilted his head towards Scarlett, smiling slightly, a look full of indulgence,

"No wonder she’s my sister, to be able to cast such a spell, truly impressive."

The younger members of the Jennings Family: ...

*Big brother had really changed.*

Everything seemed normal before, but since Scarlett returned, he suddenly became a total sister complex.

Of the completely doting kind.
