Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Boss Chalmers Urgently Seeks Help

Even though Adam Jennings always appeared somewhat aloof and arrogant, he secretly had quite a few hobbies he enjoyed, one of which was collecting jade carvings.

It sounded a bit like he was an old-fashioned man, but he genuinely liked the ancient yet intricate craftsmanship.

After watching the last episode where Isolde Garrison brought out that Jade Token, he realized the carving technique looked very familiar. Before, he had suggested Scarlett Jennings put the item up for consignment at his friend’s Jade Playhouse as a way to probe her about whether she knew Grant...

But who would have thought he couldn’t get anything out of her, and instead, she inexplicably placed a Prohibition on him, forbidding him to speak.

One could only say that Scarlett Jennings really had quite a temper.

So this time, he decided not to beat around the bush; he would just ask directly!

When Scarlett Jennings heard him refer to her as an elder repeatedly, her clear almond-shaped eyes showed nothing but innocent bewilderment.

*Why did she suddenly feel the urge to tell him the truth?*

*She imagined his expression would definitely be quite interesting.*

This thought just spun around in her mind for a moment before Scarlett Jennings silently suppressed it. She had chosen not to reveal herself earlier to avoid trouble. If she voluntarily exposed anything now, surely there would be a lot of hassle to deal with.

Adam Jennings didn’t seem like someone who could keep a secret.

At this thought, Scarlett Jennings’s expression became slightly indifferent; she simply accepted her student status by default and asked him,

"Why should I introduce you?"

She was simply asking rhetorically, but to Adam Jennings, it sounded full of provocation,

"I’m your cousin; we’re family. What’s wrong with making an introduction? Are you afraid I’d steal your mentor?"

"You never know."

Adam Jennings: ...

"What do you want so that you’d be willing to introduce me?"

Adam Jennings almost blurted out if she wanted money, but recalling the consequences of his past two slip-ups, he just forced himself to hold back.

Seeing that his attitude was somewhat acceptable, Scarlett Jennings didn’t continue to make things difficult and simply said,

"The teacher doesn’t like meeting strangers. If you have something to say, I can pass it on for you. But if it’s just out of curiosity or to say hello, then forget it."

Hearing her say this, Adam Jennings felt another wave of frustration.

But thinking that Scarlett was the only one who could contact that Grant, he endured and said,

"I want the master to help custom-make a jade carving. Price is whatever he wants, as long as he’s willing to take on the work—any other conditions can be negotiated."

Scarlett Jennings hadn’t expected Adam Jennings to be so agreeable.

However, she studied jade carving mainly for making Amulets.

Jade, especially jade with Spiritual Energy, was a very suitable medium for storing Spiritual Power.

Apart from some things she occasionally made for fun, she didn’t take custom orders.

"The teacher generally doesn’t take custom orders and may not have time to make one for you; you’d better find someone else."

As Scarlett Jennings said this, she was about to turn around and return to her room. Hearing her words, Adam Jennings’s face suddenly darkened; taking a few quick steps, he directly blocked her, with a bit of anger showing on his face,

"Scarlett Jennings, do you have to be so petty? Didn’t I already say a couple of things about you before? And you even silenced me. Isn’t that enough? Now you don’t even want to help me ask a simple question?"

Seeing him glare at her with that indignant expression was amusing.

She thought it over, then simply took out her phone and fiddled with it. Shortly afterward, a WeChat notification sound was heard.

Scarlett Jennings quickly waved her phone chat interface in front of him.

"Asked, the teacher refused."

Adam Jennings: ???

*Was she fooling me???*

But before he could continue to question, Scarlett Jennings had already brushed past him, slipping directly into her room.

The door shut with a bang.

Adam Jennings wasn’t willing to give up yet, knocking on the door again.

However, the moment Scarlett Jennings’s room door closed, the silencing Array was already activated. No matter how loudly one knocked outside, there wouldn’t be a peep heard inside the room.

Ignoring Adam Jennings’s pestering, Scarlett Jennings swiftly changed clothes. Just as she lay down to rest, she heard her phone alert again; this time, it was from Samuel Chalmers.

The sudden contact from the boss nearly made Scarlett Jennings think her recent casual message to Adam was mistakenly sent to him.

Picking up her phone, she saw the boss had sent her a location message.

[Scarlett Jennings: ?]

[Samuel Chalmers: I encountered a non-human studies issue. Can you come over?]

Scarlett Jennings practically shot up from her bed.

While she might believe others could encounter trouble, she didn’t quite buy that Samuel Chalmers would run into a non-human studies issue.

But Samuel Chalmers didn’t seem like someone who makes jokes.

Glancing at the location he sent—it was in the suburbs.

Considering it, she sent him a message directly.

[Scarlett Jennings: Will be there in half an hour.]

Under normal circumstances, she might hesitate for a bit, but this was Boss Golden Light.

Not to mention the boss’s usual care and "understanding," she had just used his Thunder Talisman blessed by Golden Light last night. Since Samuel Chalmers was asking for help, there was no way Scarlett Jennings could say no.

She quickly peeled off the sleepwear she had just changed into, put on a simple outfit, slung her bag over her shoulder, and with a swipe, opened the door.

Adam Jennings, who was just about to leave from exhausting his knocking, turned around when he heard the door open after taking only a few steps.

He saw Scarlett Jennings had clearly changed into a different outfit and seemed to be heading out.

"Didn’t you just get back? Where are you going now?"

"Something came up." Scarlett Jennings replied succinctly, sweeping past Adam Jennings and hurrying downstairs.

Adam Jennings followed immediately.

From a window facing the garden on the third floor, Azura Loomis was combing her new doll’s hair with a slightly curved smile when her peripheral vision caught sight of the two figures downstairs.

The one in front was Scarlett Jennings, and following behind...

was Adam Jennings!

Her hand holding the comb paused slightly, and a momentary displeasure and confusion crossed her face. She then took out her phone to message Adam Jennings.

[Azura Loomis: Brother Adam, I want to arrange my new doll; can you help me?]

Adam Jennings, after just catching up to Scarlett Jennings at the door and hearing the phone notification, opened the message to see it was from Azura, causing him to instinctively glance back at the villa with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Just as he was about to go back to help Azura, he noticed a car pulling up in front of their villa; it wasn’t their family’s driver.

His foot, just preparing to turn around, took a few brisk steps forward to intercept Scarlett before she got into the car.

"This isn’t our family’s driver. Where are you going, getting into someone else’s car?"

Adam Jennings thought Scarlett Jennings was really acting recklessly; she couldn’t just hop into any car that came along, could she?

Surely getting involved with some shady characters since joining a reality show and the entertainment circle?

Though he didn’t like her, Adam Jennings couldn’t just watch her go astray.

Watching Adam Jennings’s inexplicable action, Scarlett Jennings’s almond-shaped eyes swept over him calmly, carrying a hint of warning,

"Adam Jennings, is your busybody habit acting up again?"
