The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 307: Always with Big Brother

Josiah Garrison indeed felt deep down that Isolde Garrison’s death was because of Scarlett Jennings.

Even though she was not the one who physically did it.

But if it weren’t for her initial disregard for the misfortunes that befell Isolde, he and Isolde wouldn’t be in this situation now.

Moreover, Isolde was killed by an Evil Cultivator targeting Scarlett Jennings.

He felt that Isolde had suffered for her, and this was not wrong.

"You think Isolde Garrison’s death was because of me?"

Scarlett Jennings seemed to see through the darkness hidden in his eyes and ruthlessly exposed it.

Josiah Garrison’s eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly sighed,

"Scarlett, it’s all in the past, now..."

"You’re wrong."

Scarlett Jennings bluntly interrupted Josiah Garrison’s words, and also did not intend to let him continue.

"Isolde Garrison died because at the age of eighteen, her Fate Chart originally included a destined death during a car accident. I took on that disaster for her, and that’s why she was able to live on well."

Donovan Jennings slightly frowned when he heard Scarlett Jennings talk about taking a disaster for someone.

He knew about that car accident.

It was because of this accident that he unexpectedly found the clue that she was a child of the Jennings Family and brought the person back.

He just never imagined there was such an involvement behind the car accident!

Suddenly, he thought indeed that Isolde Garrison deserved to die.

"I’ve said before that with her type of Fate Chart, she should have accumulated good deeds to reduce her misfortunes, but you and Isolde Garrison didn’t care. Even if she survived today, she would die from something else later. So, why should her and your own wrongdoings be blamed on me?"

"Scarlett, I didn’t mean that..."

Josiah Garrison didn’t know if he was really convinced or not, his eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness,

"I know you’ve always held a grudge against us, but since she’s gone, why can’t we let bygones be bygones?

I don’t even expect you to recognize me as your brother again, but can you... let the Jennings Family forgive the Garrison Family?"

Isolde Garrison is gone, and Josiah Garrison’s heart is definitely saddened; after all, she was the sister he cherished for so many years.

But compared to his sister, he now has to consider the company’s situation.

He feels that the grievances between Scarlett Jennings and their family are rooted in Isolde, and now that Isolde is gone, it’s time for their families to reconcile.

He doesn’t even hope to return to the old times, but at least to stop targeting the company, otherwise their Garrison Family would truly go bankrupt.

Scarlett Jennings, long used to Josiah Garrison’s self-righteousness, was about to retort when Donovan Jennings spoke up before her,

"Scarlett has a real brother, so she certainly won’t randomly recognize irrelevant people as a brother."

Donovan’s tone was genteel and polite, but did not hide the distancing.

"As for you saying to let the past be the past... I think Mr. Garrison misunderstands. Scarlett has long ceased to care about the people from the Garrison Family, and it’s my Jennings Family that has been at odds with you."

Donovan Jennings’s smile grew warmer as he said this, but his smile did not reach his eyes and even showed a bit of frostiness.

Josiah Garrison, having accompanied his father in the business world, considered himself very stable among the younger generation.

But now, facing Donovan Jennings’s gaze, Josiah Garrison felt his heart pounding uncontrollably and a ceaseless chilling sensation spreading along his spine.

In front of Scarlett Jennings, he could still argue based on eighteen years of past emotions.

But facing this eldest grandson of the Jennings family... he found himself at a loss for words.

At this moment, he finally realized the Garrison Family had provoked an existence they shouldn’t have.

It would have been okay if it were just Scarlett Jennings, but now it involved the entire Jennings Family...

He felt somewhat desperate and once again regretted not winning over Scarlett Jennings back then.

Donovan Jennings said these words to make Josiah Garrison recognize the reality, and to stop him from always blaming everything on his sister.

If you’ve got the guts, go look for the Jennings Family.

Moreover, clearly stating that the Jennings Family took action against the human traffickers who kidnapped their child from their home is better than it being said that Scarlett ruthlessly eradicated the Garrison Family who once raised her.

The latter just sounds bad in terms of reputation.

His sister’s reputation must be spotless.

Scarlett Jennings quickly understood Donovan Jennings’s intentions, felt a warmth spreading in her heart, and no longer paid attention to Josiah Garrison. She decisively turned and followed Donovan Jennings towards the car.

The bodyguard was still watching on the side, and naturally, Josiah Garrison didn’t dare to continue pestering and could only stand there, glaring helplessly.

Over here, Scarlett Jennings was taking care of herself, getting into the car, and didn’t notice that at the corner where they had just been speaking, a Shadow Energy slowly emerged. As the name "Isolde Garrison" was mentioned, the Shadow Energy gradually revealed its form.

It was indeed the Shadow Soul of the deceased Isolde Garrison.

She had just realized that she was already dead. The moment she saw Scarlett Jennings’s silhouette, the Shadow Energy around her surged dramatically and she immediately rushed towards Scarlett without hesitation.

The invisible Shadow Energy collided towards the back of Scarlett Jennings, but just as it was about to hit her, a ghostly figure flashed and swung out a slap.

The Shadow Soul of Isolde Garrison was flung like a ball, swirling 180 degrees far away, and when it hit the ground, the surging Shadow Energy around it had significantly dissipated.

Scarlett Jennings had just settled into the car seat and became aware of the commotion. She turned her head towards Sophie Harper, who had appeared by the door at some unknown time, and asked with her eyes,

[What’s up?]

Sophie Harper casually said, "Oh, just swatted a fly."

Scarlett Jennings didn’t bother with it further.

With the car door closed, the car sped away.

Sophie Harper’s Soul Body sat on the roof of the car, following it as it drifted far away.

Josiah Garrison couldn’t see anything that had just happened. Only when he watched the Jennings Family’s car drive away did he clench his fists silently.

He resented Scarlett Jennings for being too ruthless and also resented his family for taking drastic measures.

Thinking of the corpse of Isolde Garrison he had just seen, Josiah Garrison closed his eyes.

"Dead... might be for the best."

He whispered softly, his voice almost too soft to hear.

His visibly dejected face displayed little emotion.

Being dead means no longer having to suffer while alive.

He wasn’t planning on dealing with her matters anyway; now that she’s gone, it’s actually a relief.

At least, he wouldn’t have to clean up her messes everywhere.

Thinking this, Josiah Garrison happened to step over the Shadow Soul of Isolde Garrison, who couldn’t get up from the ground.

Isolde Garrison seemed to sense something, her ghostly eyes darkly focusing on Josiah Garrison’s fading figure, eventually giving up on Scarlett Jennings, and climbed onto Josiah Garrison’s back.

Brother,

it’s all brother’s fault,

Why did you abandon me?

I am your sister after all.

From now on, I will always follow brother.

Don’t think about ditching me again.

Hehe.

Josiah Garrison took a few steps, vaguely feeling his shoulders getting heavier, but didn’t think too much of it, attributing it to the recent busyness with company matters wearing him down.

He walked step by step back.

As he passed by a building’s glass facade, the glass faintly reflected his slightly bent figure, and also that ghostly figure clinging tightly onto his back, arms and legs wrapped around him.
