Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Vest is Completely Gone

Lucas Jennings’s face looked somewhat grim.

After connecting the two names together, the suspicions in his heart instantly grew uncontrollably like wild weeds.

A voice in his head told him it was impossible, that it must just be a coincidence.

But another voice kept telling him, *How could it not be possible?*

*That jade token was carved by her!*

*The jade token she carved was identical in technique to that of Teacher Grant.*

*How could something so coincidental exist in this world?*

Because of her age, he hadn’t even considered the possibility that the two were the same person.

But...what if they were the same person?

At the thought of this possibility, Lucas’s expression became ghastly, as if he had seen a ghost.

He instinctively grabbed their tablet and indeed saw the barrage discussing Scarlett Jennings’s alias being Grant.

Startled by Lucas’s unexpected seizure of the tablet, both Lucas Jennings and Ismeria Jennings felt a bit disgruntled, "Brother Adam, you’re going too far!"

Just as they were about to jump up and battle it out with him, Lucas tossed the tablet back to them, walking away with a grim face without saying a word.

Lucas Jennings and Ismeria Jennings exchanged bewildered looks, both feeling Lucas was acting strangely today.

Ignoring him, they both lowered their heads once again to continue watching the livestream.

Meanwhile, Lucas left the two behind and went upstairs, not back to his room but straight to Scarlett Jennings’s room on the third floor.

*A name alone meant nothing, to know for sure, he had to see it with his own eyes!*

*If she were truly Teacher Grant, her room would undoubtedly hold evidence!*

*Don’t think he didn’t know; she often hid in her room to tinker with things, surely including jade carvings!*

With this in mind, Lucas raised his hand to press down on the door handle.

He couldn’t press it down!

The door was locked!

Lucas glared at it expressionlessly for a second, then quickly turned and descended the stairs.

Soon, he dashed back up, clutching a key obtained from Auntie.

Inserting the key, he easily opened the door this time.

With a cold smile on his lips, Lucas stepped inside, then found himself unable to proceed further.

It was as if an invisible barrier in the room prevented him from going any deeper.

Lucas couldn’t help but open his eyes wide and cursed out loud.

"Setting up a barrier in your own house! What’s in there, a national treasure?!"

Seeing the room clearly, yet unable to enter, he felt utterly frustrated.

He considered directly confronting Scarlett Jennings.

But recalling how she didn’t admit anything when he previously asked her to contact Teacher Grant, he figured she wouldn’t confess now.

*With suspicion in his heart, if he left it unattended, he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight and felt somewhat unwilling...*

With these thoughts, Lucas turned his head and suddenly noticed a little fox rolling on the lawn downstairs.

His eyes flickered as though he had an idea.

He went downstairs again.

Returning upstairs, this time he carried a little fox in his arms.

Lucas held the fox and walked to the doorway, staring into the room, taking a deep breath and resolutely stepping forward with the fox.

He instinctively closed his eyes, bracing himself to be bounced back by the barrier again, yet surprisingly, he made it through smoothly.

Lucas was momentarily stunned, and in the next second, he lowered his head and beamed triumphantly at the little fox.

*As expected of him.*

*A mind fit for Grand Cathay University.*

Pretty Hamilton tilted its head, looking up at him with a curious expression.

Having successfully entered the room, the little fox lost its usefulness.

Kneeling down, Lucas casually set the fox aside and strode further into the room.

Scarlett Jennings’s room remained overwhelmingly pink and princess-themed in decor, an eyesore to anyone.

Lucas could hardly believe Scarlett, such a person, could actually like this style.

She even once ran away from home for this room.

Remembering how he and Chase Jennings had teamed up to ostracize her, forcing her to give up the room, Lucas instinctively scratched his nose.

Not that he wasn’t aware of their unfairness back then.

*Yet even then, inexplicably, he just couldn’t stand her.*

*Even now, he still felt the same.*

Shaking his head, Lucas reminded himself of the reason he sneaked into her room.

Upon closer inspection,

Scarlett Jennings’s workbench and her room’s decor were polar opposites.

A massive L-shaped wooden desk cluttered with various items, one side evidently for drawing talismans, the other for jade carving tools.

Opening the wooden box on her desk, Lucas was greeted by several uncarved raw stones.

Being fond of collecting small jade carvings, Lucas had developed quite an insight into raw jade materials.

Just the rough stones casually placed in the box were conservatively estimated to be worth several million.

"Wasn’t she supposed to be quite poor?"

Mumbling to himself, Lucas chose not to touch the stones.

Instead, he reached out to open the drawer underneath.

The drawer slid open easily, and in that instant, Lucas felt a cool breeze wash over him.

Upon focusing his gaze, his eyes widened once more, pupils dilating.

The drawer contained several small carved jade pieces, some semi-finished jade tokens, and some completed small animal jade items.

Every one of these jade carvings bore the distinctive textual craftsmanship of Teacher Grant.

No, these were Grant’s actual works!

The color drained from Lucas’s face.

So that’s why Scarlett Jennings had consistently refused to help him contact Teacher Grant!

Because Grant was her own alias!

He had once called her "Teacher" with utmost respect, yet she hadn’t bothered to correct him.

She must have been laughing at him the whole time!

Thinking back to all the efforts he made to please her for help, such as buying breakfast for her, made Lucas’s face go pale.

In frustration, he wanted to slam the drawer shut, but as he was about to do so, he noticed the casually placed works inside.

Eventually, he gently closed the drawer.

However, upon exiting the room, Lucas couldn’t hold back his anger anymore.

He had to confront Scarlett Jennings!

*Concealing her identity as Grant was one thing, but deliberately refusing to lend a hand!*

*What kind of cousin was she?!*

*Even with past conflicts, he hadn’t resorted to defaming her like Chase did, so why wouldn’t she help him?*

The more he pondered, the more incensed he became, and upon leaving the room, he sought out Lucas Jennings once more.

At this moment, Lucas Jennings had temporarily set aside the tablet due to the guest break, and saw Lucas approaching with anger, he immediately asked,

"Give me Scarlett Jennings’s contact information."

Lucas Jennings, upon hearing the unfriendly tone, became instantly vigilant, "What do you want with my sister’s contact information?"

He wasn’t going to give it!

Lucas grew impatient, "Of course I have business with her! I..."

Before finishing his sentence, his eyes fell on the tablet Lucas Jennings held flat, and the next instant, his pupils dilated once again.

Because the guests were on break, Director Clark chose not to close the livestream room but instead broadcasted the rain-washed Taoism Academy.

The dreamy Taoism Academy, veiled in mist from the rain, appeared ethereal at a glance.

As Lucas’s gaze flicked past, he caught sight of the Benedict Stone Body showcased in the livestream.

Unable to hold back, he widened his eyes again, reached out, and seized the tablet once more.

Seeing the Benedict Stone Body clearly on the tablet, Lucas’s eyes filled with disbelief.

*How could it be?*

*The shape and texture of this stone body,*

*were exactly the same as the design he had given to Scarlett Jennings!*
