Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Vindicating Her Name

Azura Loomis listened to Adam Jennings, feeling a bit more at ease.

But on the surface, she still appeared to be speaking up for Scarlett Jennings,

"Since it’s a nationally certified religious academy, it must be different from ordinary schools. Besides, Scarlett does have genuine skills. You remember that situation with Uncle Silva’s family..."

Azura stopped halfway through her sentence, and those nearby, their curiosity piqued, pressed her to continue, eager to know the rest of the story.

Azura then proceeded to explain how Scarlett had supposedly cured Andrea Silva at Gideon Silva’s house.

The people nearby were astonished, "So she really has true abilities? No wonder she was chosen by that Taoism Academy."

Before Azura could respond, Adam Jennings had already scoffed,

"They say she cured her, but that’s not necessarily true."

At this, someone who knew a bit more about the situation leaned in, "My mom visited the Silva Family before and heard that Andrea Silva is still the same as before, she wasn’t really cured."

"So what? They claimed she was cured, are you going to argue with them?"

"That family" clearly referred to Scarlett Jennings.

Azura and the others weren’t far from Scarlett, and Scarlett, with her keen ears, naturally overheard the gossip.

But she didn’t bother to care, after all, whether or not Andrea had been cured was not for them to decide; it was up to the Silva Family.

Maybe it was about speaking of someone and they appear.

The Silva couple soon came over to Scarlett Jennings with gifts. This time, they also had Andrea Silva with them.

It was noteworthy because ever since Andrea fell off a horse, hit her head, and became mentally impaired, the Silva couple rarely brought her to such occasions.

Bringing her out like today was evidently the first time.

Everyone subconsciously remembered the previous rumors about Scarlett Jennings curing the Silva girl’s retardation, and naturally, their gazes shifted over.

Andrea Silva was still wearing her favorite puffy princess dress; at sixteen, she retained the appearance of a little princess with curiosity and innocence in her eyes.

But it was not the innocent romance of a sixteen-year-old; it was the pure innocence and confusion unique to a child.

This didn’t seem any different from before, still mentally impaired.

Guests who, due to Ruby Winsor’s earlier account, thought Scarlett Jennings had real abilities, felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed the claims were exaggerated after all.

After all, she hadn’t even enrolled, so how could they expect she really had extraordinary skills?

Just thinking this, they saw Gideon Silva and his wife approaching Scarlett Jennings with their daughter, maintaining their usual warmth,

"Scarlett, congratulations on becoming our city’s top scorer in the college entrance exam. This is a special graduation gift from your uncle and aunt."

The gift, when opened, revealed a silver ladies’ watch inlaid with diamonds.

Anyone with a keen eye could see it was the latest model from M House, valued at eight million, and only available to senior members of M House as a limited edition.

The Silva family wasn’t stingy with their gesture.

Apart from Scarlett’s gift, Gideon Silva also prepared gifts for the other three separately.

These were also watches, from M House, but neither their value nor their series matched Scarlett’s watch by a long shot.

As elders, these were still reasonable gifts.

Well, if Scarlett’s gift wasn’t there to compare, that is.

Azura Loomis and Anthony Anson both thanked them with smiles. While Adam Jennings didn’t express it outwardly, it was clear he was displeased.

After all, being treated differently, no one would be happy.

Logically, such discrimination at this event was quite rude.

Even though Scarlett was the top scorer, the main characters of today’s event were the four children.

Mrs. Silva was candid, directly explaining in a gentle voice,

"Don’t take it to heart, we prepared a different gift for Scarlett mainly to thank her for curing my daughter’s illness."

In front of all the guests, Mrs. Silva couldn’t possibly say her daughter had her intelligence swapped, so she used curing illness as her explanation.

"Scarlett put in a lot of effort for our little Lili, yet she stubbornly refused any reward. So, we’re taking advantage of today’s occasion to use this as a token of thanks."

With just a few words, she clarified the reason for gifting Scarlett a limited edition watch, leaving no room for criticism.

Even the Jennings Family couldn’t feel the other children were mistreated.

Because this matter genuinely helped mend the relations between the two families.

Back then, Scarlett used the Jennings Family’s name to waive the cost of the spell for the Silva Family, and the Silva Family had no further complaints against the Jennings Family.

But neither Luca Jennings nor any of the Jennings Family knew about this in advance.

It was only when Gideon Silva called Luca Jennings to mention the matter that they found out Scarlett had labeled Luca Jennings’ ten million as both a contribution and recompense for intervening, preserving the relationship between the families at the Jennings Family’s expense.

So afterward, Luca Jennings transferred another ten million to compensate Scarlett and explained this matter explicitly within the family.

Everyone then realized the Silva Family’s continued friendly relations with the Jennings Family were due in part to Scarlett’s effort, even after Scarlett’s incident that caused their daughter’s eight-year cognitive impairment.

For this one reason alone, even those like Adam and Chase Jennings, who viewed Scarlett disapprovingly, didn’t voice a word.

The Jennings Family still had discernment about right and wrong.

At this moment, Mrs. Silva clarified things publicly, and Adam Jennings’s initial dissatisfaction quickly vanished.

And Mrs. Silva had another aim in mentioning this matter.

The Silva couple arrived late today, but seeing the online discussions sparked by the ambassador posters regarding the Taoism Academy, they guessed there would be gossip about Scarlett Jennings choosing the Taoism Academy over Capital and Grand Cathay Universities.

Their mission was to demonstrate that Scarlett Jennings had her reasons for choosing such an academy.

Because she truly had abilities!

As if to bolster everyone’s belief in Scarlett’s talents, Mrs. Silva suddenly smiled again and spoke,

"On this joyous occasion, our little Lili wants to offer a congratulatory gift to her sister as well. Little Lili, come here."

Hearing her nickname, little Lili obediently came forward, her big bright eyes full of affection for Scarlett Jennings, opening her mouth in a crisp, sweet voice,

"Sister, I’ve prepared a song for you. Would you like me to play it for you?"

Her voice was clear, though still carrying an innocence inappropriate for her age, completely devoid of the prior silliness.

Moreover, she said she would play a song?

Could someone with impaired mental capacity play the piano?

The obvious answer was no.

The surrounding guests couldn’t believe it, glancing at the little girl with critical eyes.

But no matter how they looked, the girl in front maintained an innocence and tenderness unfitting for her age.

So, was she really cured or not?

The guests held this question, until... the Old Sir Jiang had a piano brought in.

Andrea Silva, under the gaze of everyone, sat properly before the piano, and her whole demeanor changed.

She raised her hands, and the melodious, lively piano notes danced out from her fingertips...
