Chapter 222: The Ambushed Scarlett Jennings

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: The Ambushed Scarlett Jennings

Derek Gibney and his wife suddenly looked at their child. Faith had been in a deep sleep since her outburst, so how could she have anything in her hand?!

You could see little Faith blink in confusion, instinctively stretching her hand out from under the blanket. At this moment, to everyone’s surprise, she was actually clutching a snow-white little rabbit figurine.

Mrs. Gibney’s face changed dramatically when she took the object and looked at Scarlett Jennings with disbelief in her eyes, "Master Jennings, could there be a mistake? This object was given to my child by my sister for protection!"

Derek Gibney seemed to recall that yesterday, after he brought home the peace charm, his sister-in-law came to visit after hearing about the incident with the child and had indeed brought something, claiming it was for peace and protection.

They hadn’t thought much about it and kept it with the child.

But now Scarlett Jennings was saying there was something wrong with it?

Lucas Jennings, watching the drama from the side, almost burst out laughing when he heard this. This Gibney Family was truly chaotic.

Just after catching an internal traitor, oh, here comes another one.

Scarlett Jennings, however, ignored Mrs. Gibney’s shock and directly asked her, "Do you know what this item is made of?"

"It’s just clam shell..." Mrs. Gibney replied. "I know this item isn’t supposed to be bought or sold, but my sister heard it has the power to suppress evil and bring peace, so she deliberately had this made."

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to add, "My sister and I are very close, and she loves Faith dearly. There’s no way she would harm her!"

Though Derek Gibney remained silent upon hearing this, he no longer felt confident. Even though he too didn’t believe his sister-in-law would harm his child, after the babysitter incident, he wasn’t sure of anything at this point.

Seeing Mrs. Gibney’s agitation, Scarlett Jennings didn’t argue with her. She just took the clam shell figurine from the child’s hand.

From her perspective, she could clearly see wisps of black resentful energy leaking from inside this little trinket.

Faith was originally affected by the Cat Spirit’s resentful energy, and combined with the malicious resentful energy emanating from this object, how could she not have gone mad?

Confirming that this was indeed the root cause of the child’s distress, Scarlett Jennings immediately pulled out a Yellow Talisman and placed it on the clam shell rabbit.

Derek Gibney and the others watched as the Yellow Talisman visibly turned to black ash bit by bit. Before they could react, Scarlett Jennings simply tossed the item to the floor.

Click.

They saw that the snow-white clam shell had several cracks in it, faintly revealing something red inside.

The expressions on Derek and Mrs. Gibney’s faces changed dramatically.

There was indeed something inside!

Scarlett Jennings frowned slightly upon seeing what was wrapped inside the clam shell.

As expected, her instincts were correct.

The resentful energy enclosed in the clam shell was almost identical to the resentful energy at the abandoned school building and Sunbeam Mountain. It was likely created using the same method.

Therefore, the items hidden in the cracks of the clam shell should be red human bones.

Not wanting the child to see the human bones inside, Scarlett Jennings took out another Yellow Talisman and bent down, intending to collect the item first. However, as soon as the Yellow Talisman touched the clam shell, unexpectedly, a small bug crawled out.

It climbed directly up the Talisman and onto her fingertip, moving extremely fast. Before Scarlett Jennings could react, a sharp pain shot through her finger, and she was instantly bitten.

The next second, she saw the original black resentful energy coiled around the red human bones suddenly pouring into her wound as if attracted by some irresistible force.

Scarlett Jennings’s face changed, and without hesitation, she immediately took a large step back. As she increased the distance, she sealed the resentful energy that had entered her palm with another Yellow Talisman.

At the same time, she summoned a golden Thunder Talisman, disregarding the child still in the room, and swiftly began chanting.

"Heavenly Thunder resounds, Earthly Thunder groans, above are the Six Armor, below are the Six Ding, with the decree from above, and the definite thunder strikes..."

Lucas Jennings’s eyes lit up — he knew this incantation well!

He immediately ran far away to avoid being caught up in whatever would happen next.

Derek Gibney, his wife, and little Faith were bewildered as they watched until they heard Scarlett Jennings’s final command fall.

Boom!

A muffled roar thundered from the sky.

The next second, a purple bolt of lightning shot through the window, accurately striking the items on the ground.

Crack!

The room was filled with a blinding purple light, and before anyone could be terrified, the purple lightning instantly reduced the objects and that bug to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning seemed to disperse entirely in the room.

Derek Gibney and his wife, along with little Faith, all stared with gaping mouths.

At that moment, they truly witnessed it.

The young lady from the Jennings Family indeed had remarkable talents.

Reflecting on their earlier attitude and angry suspicion towards her, Derek Gibney now felt genuine regret.

Unlike Derek and his wife, little Faith was stunned in awe.

Not only was the lightning that leapt into the room striking, but the actions of that beautiful sister just now impressed her immensely!

Although her mother always told her that girls must be graceful and couldn’t use words like "cool," at this moment, only that word could describe what she felt.

Especially when that beautiful lightning struck inside the room, she clearly felt the heavy sensation around her body lift suddenly.

It was as if the lightning had shattered the discomfort on her entirely.

Just... so cool!

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings didn’t care about the others’ impressions in the room. Despite having dissipated the red human bones and the bugs, her expression remained serious.

Looking again at the bite on her fingertip, now completely wrapped in black resentful energy, she found it strange at first. If this resentful energy was created by the same hand responsible for the red resentful bones at the abandoned school and Sunbeam Mountain, why target little Faith?

Only just now did she realize.

Their target had never been Faith from the start.

Their target had been her.

Whether it was the resentful bones hidden in the clam shell or the bugs within them, they were meant to deal with her...

Was it because she foiled their Evil Technique of Gathering Resentment twice?

If so, this time was likely a... warning.

Scarlett Jennings’s eyes glinted with a chilly resolve.

She hadn’t pursued them for using evil methods to gather resentment and harm people, yet they set their sights on her first?

Let’s see who would back down next.

After asking Mrs. Gibney where her sister had gotten the clam shell, Scarlett Jennings called Caius Carew directly, told him about the Gibney Family situation, and asked him to help investigate the person who contacted the Gibney Family.

Perhaps it might lead them to the individual hiding behind the scenes using evil techniques to harm others.

Having arranged everything, Scarlett Jennings didn’t linger. She reminded them to transfer the payment and then left the Gibney Family with Lucas.

She needed to promptly deal with the resentful energy still trying to erode her palm.

Lucas couldn’t see the resentful energy nor knew she was injured. On the way, he continued to chatter about the awesomeness of the purple lightning.

Only when he noticed the fine beads of sweat on Scarlett’s forehead did he realize something was off.

"Sis, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Wait, we’re almost home!"

Seeing the car drive into the villa area, Lucas urged the driver to speed up while taking out his phone, preparing to call the family doctor.

But Scarlett Jennings slightly shook her head, glanced into the distance, and said, "Don’t head back to the Jennings Family, just take me to the Chalmers Family."

Lucas: ??? Why the Chalmers Family... what for?
