Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Having Another Younger Brother Behind His Back

Scarlett Jennings wanted to confirm if there would be any issues during the school trip, so she directly called Uncle Ming, the butler, to find a photo album of Ismeria’s classmates, preferably a recent one.

Although Uncle Ming didn’t understand why, he went to find it anyway.

Ismeria, listening from the side, asked her, "What do you want my classmate’s photo album for?"

Scarlett looked carefully at this little cousin in front of her. Although she didn’t have the same ominous aura, a faint dark cloud lingered between her brows, indicating potential misfortune.

Ignoring Ismeria’s inquiry, Scarlett put Pretty Hamilton back down to continue playing with the other kids.

What she saw wasn’t something she could discuss with these children. If it was indeed a problem with the school trip, she’d need to talk to the parents.

Soon, Uncle Ming returned with the required photo album, even managing to find the kids’ social media accounts, where they or their parents posted daily photos, including recent ones.

Scarlett quietly admired Uncle Ming’s meticulousness, watching him flip through photos of kids posted on that day.

Seeing the signs of disaster or faint dark clouds on the kids’ faces finally confirmed her suspicion.

With so many children involved, and considering their parents, Scarlett couldn’t handle it alone.

She went upstairs to seek her grandfather.

Old Sir Jiang was still watching online news about the commotion she’d caused and listened to her concerns.

Had this happened when she first returned, Old Sir Jiang might not have heeded her youthful nonsense.

But now...

His expression tensed slightly, and he dialed the house phone directly, "Ming Zhou, come to my study."

Scarlett stayed in Old Sir Jiang’s study for an hour before planning to return to her room to rest. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Lucas Jennings suddenly blocked her path.

Lucas seemed to have been keeping an eye on her, so he rushed over the moment she came out.

Blocking her way now, he looked at her with an expression full of grievance.

Scarlett: ??

"Sis, when did you get another brother? What’s his relation to you? Why haven’t I seen him before?"

Lucas fired off a series of questions, leaving Scarlett bewildered.

"Why do you ask?"

She knew Lucas often followed reality show live streams and figured he’d seen Dashiell, but she didn’t comprehend what he meant.

Hearing her casual retort, Lucas felt utterly wronged, like he’d been let down.

Listen,

Just listen to her attitude!

He’d considered her his only sister, yet she’d secretly gotten another brother outside!

And now, having a new brother, she’d started to lose patience with him!

Lucas looked aggrieved, glaring at her, "What do you think?!"

His tone was somewhat forceful.

Scarlett glanced at him coolly, "Speak properly."

Lucas immediately seemed like a scolded puppy, his stubborn attitude gone, and he looked at her like a big, wronged dog.

Scarlett: ...

"That’s not my brother," she explained. "He just needs my help, so he’s been following me around."

Hearing this, Lucas suddenly perked up, "That brat is pestering you? Where is he? I’ll take care of him for you!"

Scarlett was about to tell him not to interfere. Although they were both fourteen, he might not withstand even one finger of his.

But then, as if she thought of something, she slightly raised an eyebrow.

"I suppose you can help me with something."

Lucas’s eyes lit up instantly!

Finally! After all this time!

His sister! Finally needed him!

"Sis, you say it! Don’t be fooled by my age; I can handle almost anything!"

If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging eagerly by now.

Scarlett rarely smiled, "Besides you, not many people can handle this."

Lucas became even more excited.

An hour later...

Lucas held his phone, staring at Dashiell on the other side of the video, expressionless, "Come on, I’ll add you."

Soon, the phone displayed the game interface with a pitiful newbie.

Lucas casually added him to the team, not forgetting to snort at someone on the game screen,

"A novice noob, watch how I carry you."

This was the task Scarlett assigned to Lucas.

Since she needed to handle Ismeria’s preschool trip issues, and the big boss had other matters to attend to, she didn’t have time to manage Dashiell and was worried he might wander off and cause trouble. So, she thought of this solution.

Having Lucas teach him how to play games.

No teenager could resist the allure of gaming.

Especially a young, inexperienced Flood Dragon.

Finding Dashiell something to do made things much quieter for Scarlett.

Messages online grew more intense over a few hours, but the authorities clearly had no intention of concealing it.

Scarlett pursed her lips, her suspicions vaguely confirmed.

It seemed the authorities truly planned to slowly introduce the concept of Mystical Technique to the public.

Otherwise, her public use of Talismanic Magic captured on video would surely have resulted in online censorship, if not an official warning.

Yet several hours after the incident, nothing had happened.

Scarlett thought this might actually be a good thing??

What Scarlett didn’t know was that because of the video of her publicly using Mystical Technique to save lives, the parents who received Old Sir Jiang’s call surprisingly accepted the warning promptly.

Ismeria’s preschool was already a prestigious institution known for its affluent student body, most families having ties with the Jennings Family.

If previously they doubted whether the Jennings Family’s newfound eldest daughter had any real skills,

After the Silva Family’s endorsement and her fantastic displays on reality shows, most people began trusting her words.

After all, she wouldn’t joke about something like this, would she?

Moreover, this concerned their own children.

What family would risk their own kids?

However, a few families chose not to believe in such things, convinced that the online buzz was orchestrated by the show’s producers for hype.

The internet, after all, is a mix of truth and fiction, anything is possible.

In recent years, many had claimed to have captured UFOs on film.

But who had truly seen one?

They dismissed Scarlett’s so-called "ominous sign" and let their kids join the school-organized trip regardless.

The preschool received Old Sir Jiang’s warning, but the trip, jointly planned with a prestigious European preschool, couldn’t be abruptly canceled; they had to proceed according to plan as long as parents allowed their kids to attend.

On the day the trip was set to depart, over half of the originally registered kids were absent.

The children who remained were clueless but still eagerly anticipated it.

And Ismeria, upon learning she couldn’t go on the long-awaited trip, threw a fit at home,

"Why can’t I go? I want to go! I want to go! Grandpa’s unfair! Unfair!!"
