The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 342: Kidnapped

The four people inside the elevator all turned their gazes towards Michael Jennings and Odessa’s phones.

The latter two felt an ominous premonition inexplicably rising in their hearts.

Without asking further, both quickly answered the calls.

The next second, both of their faces changed drastically.

Odessa almost lost her balance and instinctively leaned towards Michael Jennings, her voice piercingly sharp,

"What did you say?! Ismeria was kidnapped?!"

Luca Jennings’s expression sank upon hearing this.

Although he detested Odessa, Ismeria was a child of the Jennings Family; her kidnapping was not just a matter concerning the second branch of the family.

Without asking further, Luca Jennings quickly sent out several messages from his phone.

Scarlett knew that trouble was brewing, but did not expect it to unravel so quickly, reflecting the extent of bad luck following Odessa.

Thinking of the recent changes in Ismeria’s attitude towards her and her care for the little beauty.

Scarlett sighed inwardly.

Considering the gift she received - Diamond Crown worth over five million.

With that thought, Scarlett swiftly pulled out a blank Talisman Paper, attempting to track Ismeria’s aura.

However, Odessa, unaware of why Scarlett’s action of taking out the Talisman Paper irritated her, and recalling her recent "warning," suddenly screamed and lunged at Scarlett,

"Was it you?! Did you harm my Ismeria?!"

It had to be her, otherwise why would she have deliberately said those words just before.

The little b*tch must be seeking revenge.

Because she coveted her mother’s position, she must be intentionally making her suffer.

Odessa’s outburst came so unexpectedly that both Michael Jennings and Luca Jennings, who were busy contacting people to find the child, were taken by surprise.

Luca Jennings’s expression darkened, and he reached out to stop her, but was still a step too slow.

Just as Odessa was about to pounce on Scarlett, her nails decorated with diamond patterns clawing towards Scarlett’s face.

However, before she could make contact, Scarlett looked up indifferently, moved the Talisman Paper away with one hand, and deftly grabbed Odessa’s approaching hand with the other, swiftly restraining her hands and then giving a skillful push.

Before Michael Jennings could react, Odessa was already hurtling towards him.

Even though it didn’t seem like Scarlett exerted much force, the impact of Odessa colliding into him slammed him against the elevator wall, causing a loud "bang" sound unexpectedly.

Michael Jennings’s facial muscles twitched as he looked towards Scarlett, hearing her coldly saying,

"If you want to save Ismeria, control her."

Only then Michael Jennings noticed the Talisman Paper in Scarlett’s hand, his expression becoming complex and weird.

He really didn’t want to believe in these supernatural things.

But with his youngest daughter kidnapped and whereabouts unknown, Michael Jennings couldn’t help but harbor a glimmer of hope for his niece’s abilities.

Seeing Odessa struggling as she continued to create a scene, Michael Jennings’s face darkened, holding her tightly and scolding sharply,

"Fool! What are you doing at a time like this, do you really want to harm Ismeria?!"

But Odessa was fired up by that push from Scarlett and, with her mind unsettled by Ismeria’s situation, she simply couldn’t listen, still accusing Scarlett of wrongly reporting,

"Michael, don’t be fooled by her! She’s so cold-hearted, how could she possibly save our Ismeria! It’s clearly her! Her kidnapping must be because she..."

Before she could finish, a crisp "smack" sound was heard.

Odessa’s face was struck sideways, leaving her dumbfounded on the spot.

Michael Jennings, who was holding onto Odessa, was also visibly stunned.

Just then, Luca Jennings’s face turned grim as he withdrew his hand, and with composed movements, took out a handkerchief. While wiping his hands, he said coldly,

"Make her shut up, or I won’t mind doing it myself."

Even in such a cold and severe atmosphere, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but have an out-of-place thought —

Aren’t you already taking action??

Fortunately, Scarlett Jennings just muttered it in her mind, and the other two, clearly taken aback by Luca Jennings’s sudden action, did not dwell on the logic in his words.

Perhaps because the shock of being slapped suddenly by her beloved was too much, Odessa finally quieted down.

Scarlett Jennings took advantage of the moment to quickly draw a Tracking Talisman with the Vermillion brush.

Just as she finished drawing on the Talisman Paper, the elevator finally dinged open.

Outside the door, Assistant Lin with a grave expression on his face, holding a cell phone, immediately reported the situation upon seeing Luca Jennings and the others.

"There’s no specific news from Sea City yet, I’ve just arranged a private jet, we can go back to Sea City at any time."

Luca Jennings was only halfway through the summit on his side, with several important meetings yet to come. Leaving now was obviously not suitable, so they could only send Michael Jennings and Odessa back home first.

With Old Sir Jiang at home, should anything truly amiss happen, he could take charge.

Michael Jennings, of course, couldn’t wait to get back, but he hesitated for a moment, his gaze falling unconsciously on Scarlett Jennings, and asked,

"Scarlett, will you come back with us?"

While he trusted the police, having his niece around might be safer.

She had said it herself, Violet would be kidnapped, all because of her unlucky mother.

What if the bad luck continued?

With Scarlett Jennings there, perhaps they could resort to extraordinary measures to rescue his daughter.

Scarlett Jennings, seeing the rare, troubled look in Michael Jennings’s eyes, thought for a moment and said,

"Flying from North City to Sea City takes at least four hours, too slow."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to Odessa, "I’ll ask you once more, do you want to save your daughter?"

Odessa opened her mouth, inadvertently meeting Scarlett Jennings’s clear, piercing eyes, which bore no trace of schadenfreude or a superior attitude expecting her to beg; so calm and level that it seemed, with just one more question of doubt from her, she would turn and leave without hesitation.

At this moment, Odessa’s muddled mind seemed to finally clear up.

After a long pause, she answered with a choked voice, "... Save her. Please save Violet..."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett Jennings, without any superfluous words, grabbed her hand swiftly, deftly wrapped the talisman paper around her index finger, and at the same time, pulled out a strand of Odessa’s hair, binding it together with an unknown fine red string.

Her movements were quick, and while Luca Jennings and the others were still bewildered, they heard her say,

"Get a map of Sea City."

Luca Jennings unconsciously looked at Assistant Lin to fetch the map, and saw Assistant Lin swiftly opening his tablet, pulling up a map of Sea City, and placing it in front of her,

"Will this do?"

Luca Jennings: ...

Scarlett Jennings nodded, placed Odessa’s hand over the map, and instructed, "Don’t move."

As she finished speaking, they saw her suddenly tighten the strand of hair wrapped around Odessa’s fingertip, exerting a slight force, and the hair instantly drew a droplet of blood from the fingertip.

Odessa, in pain, trembled her finger but still endured and did not withdraw her hand.

Inside, however, she suspected that Scarlett Jennings might be taking the opportunity to retaliate. freёnovelkiss.com

Scarlett Jennings, without a glance at her, let Odessa’s blood slowly infuse into the red string, then released her grip, and with both hands, quickly formed sealing gestures, muttering something under her breath at the same time.

Shortly, those present saw the hanging end of the red string, seemingly coming to life, stiffening up, and beginning to indicate direction on the map.
