Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Offending the Petty Peach Blossom

The program was nearing its end time.

Director Clark did not hesitate to give the space to the Tucker mother and daughters.

Scarlett Jennings was the first to leave the villa, quickly heading towards Luca Jennings outside the villa courtyard.

However, her steps faltered slightly when she clearly saw Luca Jennings’ face.

The production team was still clueless about where Scarlett was heading until they saw the person standing at the door.

"That seems to be from Jennings Group... Scarlett’s dad!"

Director Clark was the first to recognize Luca Jennings, looking dumbfounded, obviously not understanding why such a big CEO would suddenly appear here?

And the scene somewhat seemed familiar.

Well, the last time someone waited here was Scarlett’s romantic interest.

Luca Jennings did not notice the change in his daughter’s expression, only glanced at Director Clark, his tone somewhat pointed,

"I’ve come to pick up Scarlett for dinner."

Luca Jennings had specifically pushed back a dinner engagement to come here.

His assistant had been watching the live stream and mentioned that they hadn’t had dinner yet.

Luca Jennings felt somewhat dissatisfied with the production team.

Even with numerous issues in the program, they shouldn’t skip meals for children who are still growing!

Upon hearing this, Director Clark immediately felt somewhat embarrassed, admitting his fault and not daring to push further.

Luca Jennings then greeted a few of the guests; although he was usually cold and unemotional, he was much warmer towards Scarlett’s "colleagues," especially Nathan White, her senior.

Nathan White quietly greeted him and took a glimpse at Luca Jennings’ face, wanting to say something but held back.

Evander Simpson seemed to have something to say as well.

If it had been just one person, it would have been fine, but now two in a row looked at him hesitantly, Luca Jennings knew there was an issue.

However, he was always composed and simply asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Nathan White looked at Evander Simpson, then, as if it was they who needed to ask first, they simultaneously voiced,

"You have a bad romantic entanglement."

"You’ve recently offended someone."

Luca Jennings’ eyes twitched slightly; although he guessed there might be an issue, he didn’t expect it to be this kind.

Turning to look at Scarlett’s meaningful glance, he inexplicably felt a thump in his heart and hurriedly explained,

"There’s no bad romantic entanglement, I must have offended someone!"

He certainly didn’t want his daughter to misunderstand that he was flirting around; he’d rather be the one offended.

It was also Luca Jennings’ concerned confusion, forgetting that Scarlett was a professional, although Mystical Sect’s three prohibitions included not predicting for close kin, that was for deducing the past and future. For visible issues like this, even Face Reading wasn’t necessary.

At this moment, looking at the gray mingled with dark pink at Luca Jennings’ forehead, Scarlett simply shook her head, correcting him,

"To be precise, you’ve offended both."

Luca Jennings: ...

Scarlett, unaware of Luca Jennings’ complex feelings, reached into her bag and directly handed him an Anti-backstabbing Talisman.

If she wasn’t mistaken, both the bad romantic entanglement and the nemesis were likely the same person.

Looking at the Talisman Paper, Luca Jennings felt even more complex emotions.

It was one thing for his daughter to detect a bad romantic entanglement, but now she needed to help ward off the nemesis too; Luca Jennings momentarily felt resentful towards this so-called romantic entangler.

Once he finds out who it was, he definitely wouldn’t let them off!

No need for this Anti-backstabbing Talisman!

However, he would certainly not refuse his daughter’s goodwill.

In front of Scarlett Jennings, he put the Anti-backstabbing Talisman directly into his inner pocket for safekeeping.

Because of this unexpected episode, Luca Jennings felt a somewhat awkward silence while taking Scarlett to dinner.

As if to break the awkwardness, Scarlett rarely started talking to Luca about her "work".

She mainly talked about the incident today involving Amelia Tucker and her daughter.

Although Luca was already informed about the content of the livestream through his assistant, he still listened very attentively now.

Scarlett then talked about how Amelia Tucker ended up being "sold" to that kind of mountain village.

"According to a relative of Teacher Tucker, normally a child destined to die young would be taken care of by the hospital for body preparation and waiting for family members to claim for cremation.

But at that time, Teacher Tucker was in a coma due to shock, the hospital was chaotic with family members, and nobody expected that the child was actually in shock and not really dead."

Luca Jennings, upon hearing this, responded with a slightly deeper tone, "So, the child’s body was taken away?"

Although he’s a businessman, he understands things happening behind the scenes, like hospitals or funeral homes where buying and selling bodies does occur.

As for children who die at birth, there are also people who specialize in ’collecting’ them.

It seems that the child was taken away as a corpse, the family concerned about Teacher Tucker’s feelings didn’t publicize it, and perhaps the child accidentally came back to life on the way.

Those in charge of the trade, dead or alive, they sell; since the child was alive, they would deal with it as such, and then sold him to a family that depends on a child for added blessings.

Luca Jennings’s interest in these matters, even understanding these human traffickers’ methods, was also for Scarlett.

Back then, the visible theft of Scarlett was conducted by a rival of the Jennings Family, who hired professionals and used tactics to take the child from the hospital and created false impressions, so for years the Jennings Family thought she had been sold to somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Who would have thought that after so many years, his Scarlett had actually been living in the same city with them, they even initially thought that the Garrison Family had rescued and adopted the child... It seems that this involved the handiwork of an Evil Master coveting Scarlett’s Fate Chart.

Recalling these past events, the aura around Luca Jennings unconsciously chilled, even after such a long time, both the rival family and later the Garrison Family were personally dealt with by him, yet he still couldn’t let go.

Scarlett Jennings did not know what Luca Jennings was thinking, she assumed he was angry because of the couple who bought Amelia Tucker and then abused her, she thought for a moment and said,

"The sayings that adopting a child can bring biological children to a family aren’t entirely superstition; a child blessed with good fortune, upon sensing the parents’ wish, truly can transmit fortune to help fulfill their desires."

And Amelia Tucker herself indeed is a person blessed with good fortune.

Facing Luca Jennings’s gaze, Scarlett Jennings explained,

"The child brought to her adoptive parents’ home, in some ways, really was brought by Amelia Tucker, but once they had their biological child and began to abuse Amelia, if she completely separates from that home, the fortune she brought might not be sustained."

For a couple single-mindedly desiring their own offspring to continue the family line, this can be considered a truly heart-wrenching retribution.

Luca Jennings raised his brows slightly upon hearing this.

These words, she seemed to not have said during her livestream.

Of course, Scarlett Jennings wouldn’t say it.

Though knowing retribution in advance is satisfying, it could cause the family to cling desperately to Amelia Tucker.

Even though Teacher Tucker’s financial capabilities and connections are sufficient for Amelia to escape that couple and even get them imprisoned for life.

But the process would definitely be more troublesome.

Scarlett Jennings, already aware of the wide audience range of "Inspiration," naturally wouldn’t not make things more complicated.

When the day of retribution comes, they will certainly find out.

Like Amelia Tucker’s adoptive parents,

Like the Garrison couple and Isolde Garrison,

Like... including human traffickers, all those formerly wicked people.
