Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Stinky Man’s Tricks

Scarlett Jennings found out about these things the next day.

Due to the jade token breaking, Lucas Jennings couldn’t relax and insisted on finding his sister, saying, "Only where my sister is can I feel at ease."

Donovan Jennings had no choice but to help him contact Scarlett Jennings.

After hearing about what happened at home, Scarlett found it somewhat peculiar,

"You said the little one initially sensed something was wrong, but then calmed down after entering the room?"

"Yes."

Donovan originally thought he could handle these matters himself, considering Scarlett was already exhausted from her training during the day. He didn’t want to trouble her with trivial things if he could help it.

But he realized that while he could handle some things himself, he was completely clueless about matters involving the mystical realm.

Rather than potentially making mistakes by acting rashly, he decided to consult Scarlett for her opinion.

Just like this situation with Lucas, no one knew if another sudden danger might occur, so he had to first communicate with Scarlett to prepare in advance.

Scarlett seemed to ponder for a moment before saying,

"The little one has been with me for nearly two years. It’s always been sensitive to certain things. Since it reacted at that time, there must be some wicked phantom in that room.

But when it entered and didn’t detect anything, the wicked phantom probably hid or concealed its presence..."

Even she couldn’t immediately detect some wicked presences.

At least, in her time living with the Jennings Family, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss with Azura Loomis or her room.

Or maybe the other party had some extraordinary power?

"I have stored several array talismans in Samuel Chalmers’s study. You can get them from him and place them in each room; if any foul entity approaches, the array talisman will trap it."

While saying this, Scarlett continued,

"If the array talisman fails, my room has a separate array set up; you can freely enter and exit with the little one during emergencies, and if there’s real danger, Dashiell will also act."

Scarlett initially thought that if they encountered an undefined danger, they could stay closer to Samuel Chalmers.

With him around, no demon or wicked phantom would dare approach lightly.

However, she quickly dismissed this idea, thinking it might be too much trouble for him.

But instead of these matters, Donovan was more curious,

"Why are your array talismans stored in Samuel Chalmers’s study?"

What kind of relationship do you have that allows you to leave things in his study?

Facing her brother’s probing questions, Scarlett remained calm, saying, "He suddenly became interested in talismans and asked me to draw a few for his research."

She couldn’t reveal that she stored her talismans in his study to absorb the refined spiritual energy at any time.

The secrets surrounding the big shot might then be exposed.

Although they weren’t hidden secrets, they still weren’t suitable for too many people to know.

So, the only explanation was that the big shot had suddenly taken an interest in mystical talisman techniques.

This provided a reasonable explanation for their frequent interactions and sudden close friendship during this period.

Scarlett believed she’d found a perfect excuse.

Little did she know that in Donovan’s mind, this was someone plotting against his sister, even using the pretense of being interested in talismans to create interaction opportunities.

Isn’t this common?

Like someone who never follows celebrities but starts to learn about them to have common topics to discuss with the person they like and then talk together...

As for whether Samuel Chalmers might really be interested in talismans and approached Scarlett for this reason, Donovan never considered this possibility.

After all, someone like Samuel Chalmers, who is obsessive-compulsive and extremely picky, couldn’t possibly be interested in something that looks like gibberish at first glance.

Thinking of this, Donovan looked at his sister on the video call, filled with concern.

This sister always seemed independent, but in matters of the heart, she was still too naïve.

She couldn’t even see through the tricks of those pesky men.

But clearing the path of those men using tricks to get close to her is also one of his responsibilities as a brother.

He decided to rummage through Samuel Chalmers’s study, taking everything belonging to his sister without leaving a single item behind!

Scarlett wasn’t aware of Donovan’s thoughts. After the video call ended, she thought for a moment and decided to call for a courier to send her the black-haired doll that Dashiell had taken from the Jennings home.

With a clue in hand, she decided to investigate.

After placing the order, Scarlett opened her contacts list and chose Dashiell over Samuel Chalmers, intending to inform him about the courier coming to pick up the doll.

However, before she could send her message, Samuel Chalmers’s message popped up first.

[Samuel Chalmers: Dashiell told me about the Jennings Family’s issue. I’ll have him keep an eye on things there, so don’t worry.]

Upon seeing the message, Scarlett’s first reaction was that the big shot was being so considerate!

She immediately abandoned her message to Dashiell and focused on replying to Samuel.

[Scarlett Jennings: Thanks. Could you please hand the array talismans stored in your study to my brother later? Putting those talismans around the house can give them some peace of mind.]

After sending this, she felt that her words made it seem like she wasn’t concerned about the situation on Samuel’s end, so she added,

[Scarlett Jennings: Your villa has an array set by me personally, which works better than those talismans. You can rest assured.]

Samuel Chalmers read the message she sent.

Even though it was just a text message without any accompanying expressions, he could strangely imagine her serious face while saying those words.

His lips curled up involuntarily, and Samuel casually replied.

[Samuel Chalmers: Mm, I’m quite reassured.]

In the Chalmers Corporation conference room, several company executives exchanged glances, casting incredulous looks at Mr. Chalmers. Even the executive delivering the report across from him heaved a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that Mr. Chalmers was in a good mood today, which might allow him to pass unscathed.

With this thought, he saw Samuel Chalmers put down his phone, the warmth in his eyes gone, and when he looked at the reporting executive, his gaze turned icy.

"Do you know where you went wrong just now?"

Company executive: ???

Samuel Chalmers coldly tapped the table, "You got the development budget and target profit ratio wrong."

Upon hearing this, the executive quickly apologized.

Internally, however, he was feeling aggrieved.

I mean, Mr. Chalmers, weren’t you just texting?! How did you even notice my mistake with the profit ratio!

While the atmosphere in the conference room remained as serious and demanding as ever, Scarlett Jennings closed their chat window, finally remembering why Lucas Jennings hadn’t contacted her.

She had put him on her block list.

It seemed she hadn’t taken him off yet.

Thinking of this, Scarlett directly opened Lucas’s profile page, intending to remove him from the blocked list.

However, before she could proceed, Director Clark sent her a photo first.

Upon seeing the photo, Scarlett slightly raised her eyebrow, once again casting Lucas to the back of her mind.

Because the photo Director Clark sent was yet another customized black-haired doll.
