Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Son-in-law is Good
As soon as Michael Jennings finished speaking, Luca Jennings shot him a cold glance.
"Scarlett has her reasons for everything she does. As her uncle, just listen."
Michael Jennings: ???
Bro, are you sure you’re not misstating that?
As an elder himself...
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t even be bothered to spare a glance at her uncle; she turned to Luca Jennings and directly explained to him,
"The system is currently sealed in this turtle. It won’t threaten anyone for now, but just to be safe, I’ll keep this turtle with me and look after it."
Luca Jennings frowned.
Unlike Michael Jennings, who only worried if the turtle would be a threat to him and his family.
Luca Jennings was more concerned about whether having it around Scarlett Jennings would pose any problems.
But before Luca Jennings could speak, Donovan Jennings had already asked,
"Are you sure there’s no issue?"
Scarlett Jennings nodded to indicate she was sure, so Donovan Jennings had no objections and smiled, "Alright then, I’ll listen to you."
Luca Jennings, feeling somewhat frustrated about having his words taken over by his son, immediately responded with a stern face,
"I just said listen to Scarlett, you should trust your sister."
Like him, who would never question Scarlett’s abilities.
Donovan Jennings:...
You’re the dad, whatever you say goes.
Once everything was clarified, everyone dispersed again.
Scarlett Jennings put the turtle into a small case the butler had specially prepared for her, thought for a moment, and went to find Donovan Jennings to ask for his help with something.
After hearing what she wanted help with, Donovan Jennings was a bit surprised,
"You want me to find someone to investigate Alicia Sharp?"
Weren’t she and Alicia Sharp friends?
Scarlett Jennings nodded.
Although she could calculate the fate trajectory of Alicia Sharp herself, there were still some detailed things she wanted to confirm.
She wanted to know if what the system said was true.
About what the system said, that the current Alicia Sharp... is actually an Alicia Sharp whose soul had been successfully possessed by one from the Otherworld.
...
Scarlett Jennings spent the entire morning dealing with the system matters, only remembering she still needed to go to the show for the final goodbye live broadcast when she received a call from the production team!
As per the show’s arrangement, the last episode would be particularly extended as a special treat.
Between last night and this morning, Scarlett Jennings had almost forgotten about the production team.
She even felt as if she had already completely finished recording the final episode.
Only when she received a call from Director Clark did she realize they were still waiting for her.
Scarlett Jennings immediately stated she would head over.
She temporarily left the turtle in Sophie Harper’s care and was about to head over to the production team.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Samuel Chalmers’s car parked at the door, but her own car and driver were nowhere to be seen.
The window in the back seat rolled down; Samuel Chalmers turned his head and calmly gestured to her, "Get in, I’ll take you there."
Scarlett Jennings got in the car without hesitation, but once she sat down, she couldn’t help but look at Samuel Chalmers,
"How did you know I was going out?"
Samuel Chalmers just glanced at her with an unreadable expression,
"I not only know you’re going back to record the show, I also know you used spiritual power to seal that system again."
Without him saying, Scarlett Jennings could guess it was Donovan Jennings who told him.
As for why he told him, Scarlett Jennings could also guess.
"I’ve already recovered!"
She said, raising her hand to show him her bandaged hand. "Your home is full of spiritual energy, I just slept for one night, and my spiritual power has returned, and the wound doesn’t hurt at all."
As she said this, Scarlett Jennings deliberately scratched her injured hand.
Indeed, the wound not only didn’t hurt, it was as if it had never been injured.
As she thought about it, Scarlett Jennings instantly sensed that something was off. She suddenly tore off the gauze, only to see a fully healed scar.
Even she couldn’t help but freeze momentarily at the overnight-healed scar.
She’s...healed?
This healing was even faster than before.
Scarlett Jennings speculated it was influenced by the spiritual energy refined by Samuel Chalmers’s Golden Light.
She didn’t doubt that it was Samuel Chalmers’s doing.
Because of her special physique, since childhood, she had always healed faster than normal people.
Scarlett Jennings was almost used to it.
So seeing her completely healed wound, although Scarlett Jennings was surprised, she didn’t pursue Samuel Chalmers to ask anything.
It was Samuel Chalmers who, seeing her staring blankly at her palm, asked her, "What’s up?"
"Nothing."
Scarlett Jennings withdrew her palm and just said, "I just thought your Golden Light is even more powerful than before."
Samuel Chalmers did not speak, silently acknowledging it.
Both lost in thought, the car drove all the way to another venue where the show was being filmed.
There was no other way; between the day before yesterday and last night, several big cases emerged in Sea City, and the police were already overwhelmed.
Besides, the third day was originally intended for audience help segments, so there was no need to stay at the police department to cause further inconvenience.
Due to the sudden extra broadcast last night, followed by the formal announcement from Sea City Police this morning explaining the missing persons case from last night,
It was only then that netizens realized the interrupted broadcast last night involved such a major case.
Seventeen people went missing, all because of participating in a cat and mouse game reality contest. At the same time, the police statement called for safe gaming and self-protection and listed some potential dangers of the cat and mouse game.
Suddenly, those actively signing up for the game online dwindled.
When Scarlett Jennings returned, it was during the peak of online discussion.
Most people were curious about why the missing individuals were found underwater.
More importantly, why were they still alive after being sunk in the lake.
But the conversation shifted quickly to a different trending topic when everyone saw Scarlett Jennings get out of Samuel Chalmers’s car.
[Oooh! Brother-in-law’s here!]
[Brother-in-law personally brought the girl back, I can’t help but ship this!]
[If you call her "girl" you can’t call him "brother-in-law"~ generations mixed up.]
[So... how about "son-in-law"?]
The live stream chatroom was suddenly flooded with rows of [Son-in-law].
Director Clark came out to personally greet them; seeing Samuel Chalmers sitting in the car made him a bit tense and he quickly explained to Scarlett Jennings,
"Uh, Scarlett, you got injured last night, and today’s broadcast was supposed to let you rest, but the audience is worried about you..."
Plus, since it’s the final episode, Director Clark hoped for a perfect ending more than anyone else.
When he called Scarlett Jennings, he was actually thinking if she was available, she could just join remotely and show her face in the live stream to let everyone know she’s alright.
However, Scarlett Jennings offered to come back for the broadcast, which naturally made Director Clark happy.
But now, he was indeed a bit panicked.
Scarlett didn’t mention on the phone that Mr. Chalmers would personally drop her off.
After speaking with Scarlett, Director Clark finally poked his head slightly, cautiously assuring the half of Samuel Chalmers’s face visible in the car,
"Mr. Chalmers, rest assured, today is just a simple interaction session. We will take good care of Miss Jennings and won’t let her get tired again!"
Listening to Director Clark’s serious assurance to Samuel Chalmers, Scarlett Jennings felt something was off.
That statement...
Shouldn’t it have been directed at her dad?
