Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Nobody Can Do Without Her

Quincy Zimmerman couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart when he heard her sudden remark.

Recently, preparations for reality shows like "Inspiration" had been especially sensitive, and being suddenly handed a talisman would make anyone subconsciously feel uneasy.

Donovan Jennings and Juno Wilder also instinctively looked at Scarlett Jennings.

Donovan wore an expression of pride, as if watching his own child taking action again.

Juno, on the other hand, was curious.

Finally, Quincy Zimmerman couldn’t resist speaking up, "Is there any significance to this?"

He knew that this eldest daughter of the Jennings Family was about to attend the Taoism Academy, but he wasn’t sure if she had any real skills.

Ultimately, his agreement to do this show with Director Clark was more for the sensationalism.

Scarlett Jennings slowly shook her head, her almond eyes lightly gazing at him,

"It’s just that your luck has been low lately, it’s for protection."

People with low fortunes have weak positive energy, and if they go to places heavy with shadow energy, they’re more prone to encounters with ghosts.

Especially since the show he was planning involved such themes.

Quincy Zimmerman looked at Scarlett Jennings, unable to tell if she had truly discerned something or was just making a show of learning, but he couldn’t possibly disrespect the young lady from the Jennings Family.

So he received it sincerely and happily, and right in front of her, placed it on his person.

Juno Wilder wasn’t surprised at Quincy Zimmerman’s way of handling things, but waited until he left before smiling at Scarlett Jennings,

"Since it’s a meeting gift, do I get one too?"

Scarlett Jennings looked at her with a serious face and shook her head, "You don’t need one."

Juno couldn’t help but smile even wider.

Sometimes, getting such a meeting gift could be more troubling than not getting one.

Scarlett Jennings said she didn’t need one, which meant everything seemed fine for her.

Whether or not she had real skills, Juno Wilder was pleased to hear such words.

At that moment, she also felt that this eldest daughter of the Jennings Family was rather interesting.

If she weren’t currently not recruiting new talents, she would have genuinely wanted to sign the young lady in front of her.

Meanwhile,

After bidding farewell to Scarlett Jennings, Quincy Zimmerman also received word from Director Clark to conduct an on-site survey of the location selected for "Inspiration" the next day.

The thought of what Scarlett Jennings had just said about the "shadow energy-heavy place" instinctively made Quincy averse. Excuses came readily to his lips,

"Tomorrow... I might not feel well."

Director Clark on the phone: ...

"Do you think your excuse is even remotely reasonable?"

You can already predict you won’t feel well tomorrow?

Are you possibly a female?

Even elementary school students wouldn’t use such a clumsy excuse for leave.

Quincy Zimmerman knew his friend’s temper and realized he couldn’t avoid it, so he merely chuckled, saying he was just joking before.

"I’ll go, I’ll definitely go tomorrow!"

Even though he felt a bit uneasy, Quincy knew it was work and couldn’t just leave it because he felt uncomfortable inside.

Even if he didn’t go tomorrow, as long as he was responsible for this show, he couldn’t escape visiting the site later.

So he resolved to go.

Who’s afraid of whom?

With this resolution, Quincy Zimmerman indeed went with the production team for the site survey the next day.

It was an abandoned ancient house.

It was said that every previous owner of the house had experienced strange incidents within six months of moving in, and the stories had spread, making it known online as a "Shadow House."

Since "Inspiration" was a show using metaphysical and supernatural adventures as its gimmick, interactions with such places were unavoidable.

Especially since, to enhance authenticity, the production team had opened a helpline online during the early stages of preparation, using guest live-streaming interactions to resolve peculiar incidents around viewers as a segment of each episode.

This was why the proposed list of participants included not only celebrities but also Taoists from the Clear Breeze Temple and metaphysics streamers.

But for the eldest daughter of the Jennings Family, Quincy Zimmerman chose her as a guest more for publicity purposes.

He didn’t put much stock in her skills in this aspect.

But thinking back to her calm and determined eyes when she handed him the talisman, Quincy felt uncertain again.

Thus, during the site visit today, Quincy Zimmerman kept the talisman paper close to his body the whole time.

Yet after making a round, apart from the house being truly eerie, Quincy had not noticed anything amiss.

Quincy Zimmerman couldn’t help but chuckle at himself.

He chuckled at how he had been in the industry for so long yet was still swayed by a young girl’s words.

The talisman, he reckoned, was probably just some wealthy young lady’s quirky prank.

Thinking this, Quincy said his goodbyes to the production team and drove home.

The ancient house was located near the suburbs, so by the time Quincy drove back to the city, the sky was already getting dark.

The evening glow spread across the sky at first beautifully, but as the last sliver of sunlight disappeared, Quincy suddenly felt something oppressive about the blue-black sky.

It was as if a huge black net was pressing down on him.

He inexplicably felt a chill.

Thinking the car’s air conditioning was too low, he kept one hand on the steering wheel and reached to adjust the air conditioning with the other.

However, just at the moment his eyes swept past the control screen, he suddenly caught sight in the shadow of the passenger seat of a pair of eyes staring intently at him.

Quincy Zimmerman felt his pupils shake violently; without time to look closely, his grip on the steering wheel slipped out of control.

"Ah!"

As Quincy’s car crashed into the guardrail, he distinctly heard a soft laugh in his ear, chilling him to the core.

At the same time, he felt a burning sensation in his chest...

Jennings Family.

Scarlett Jennings had just checked the increase in shadow energy of a little infant spirit when her phone beside her suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and casually answered.

The next moment, a man’s wailing voice echoed from the other end,

"Master Jennings! Save me! I really encountered something! Master Jennings, I beg you, help me, only you can help me now!!"

The man was none other than Quincy Zimmerman, who had just narrowly escaped an accident.

Just an hour ago, his car had suddenly gone out of control and hit the roadside guardrail with so much force that the front of the car was completely deformed.

Even the traffic police who arrived thought he wouldn’t make it.

But apart from some scratches, Quincy Zimmerman was perfectly fine, not even with a minor concussion.

After the initial shock and finally regaining his senses, Quincy quickly reached for his chest as if remembering something.

He touched the spot where he had placed the talisman paper, only to feel a handful of ash.

The talisman paper in his pocket had already completely turned to ashes.

Seeing the ashes, how could Quincy not understand?

This talisman paper shielded him from a disaster!!

By now, he had completely believed in Scarlett Jennings’ abilities.

Recalling those eyes he saw before the crash, Quincy felt like he had fallen into an icy abyss, chilled to the bone, and feared that the entity was still following him, leading him to call Scarlett Jennings desperately.

At this moment, he was convinced, the eldest daughter of the Jennings Family was indeed the "Chosen One" with true abilities as rumored online.

In the "Inspiration" production team, no one could do without her!!
