Chapter 11: Chapter 11 This Brain Can Be Replaced Chapter 11: Chapter 11 This Brain Can Be Replaced Donovan Jennings keenly noticed her conflicted expression and asked, “Auntie Zhang, what’s wrong?”
The woman called Auntie Zhang imdiately stepped forward and said, “When Auntie Wu first ca to work for the Jennings Family, she did ntion that her son’s intelligence was problematic. He had been fostered in a school for intellectual disabilities before that.”
The two won started working at the Jennings Family at the sa ti and got along well in private, so she knew quite a bit about Auntie Wu’s family situation.
Scarlett Garrison then asked her, “Do you know when her son stopped being ntally challenged?”
The woman thought carefully and said, “It should have been eight years ago. I rember one day she was especially happy, saying her son was cured. I think it was in the sumr.”
Scarlett understood and turned her head to ask Donovan, “Eight years ago, was there any child around Auntie Wu or the Jennings Family, who was originally of normal intelligence but suddenly beca feeble-minded one day?”
Everyone present, including Luca Jennings, who had been silent beside them, was taken aback when they heard her words, “You an…”
“To turn a ntally challenged child into a normal person, you can only transfer intelligence from another to oneself. But the one whose intelligence is taken will inevitably replace the other, becoming a ntally challenged child.”
The reason she asked about those around Auntie Wu and the Jennings Family was that Auntie Wu had worked for the Jennings Family for ten years, and her daily range of activities was also within the Jennings Family. So the range of appropriate candidates she could choose from was very limited.
Scarlett’s words made it clear to everyone.
Lucas Jennings, who was initially angry that Scarlett was ignoring him, suddenly thought of soone and blurted out, “The foolish girl from the Silva Family!”
Everyone in the hall turned to look at Lucas simultaneously. Luca Jennings’ face was stern, but he admonished Lucas, “You must not refer to the Silva Family’s young lady like that!”
Saying this, he turned his head to look at Scarlett again.
At this point, even if he still didn’t believe Scarlett had any extraordinary abilities, he couldn’t help but take her more seriously.
After all, if what she said was true and involved the young lady from the Silva Family, it wouldn’t just be Auntie Wu’s problem anymore.
The Silva Family and the Jennings Family had been family friends for generations, and indeed, the Silva Family’s young lady beca feeble-minded eight years ago.
However…
“The young lady from the Silva Family turned ntally challenged because she fell and hit her head while learning to ride a horse.”
Otherwise, given the Silva Family’s affluent background, if their child suddenly beca ntally challenged, they would definitely have consulted a master.
It was precisely because it was a head trauma caused by an external force that the Silva Family never considered other aspects beyond dicine.
Scarlett did not comnt, only asking, “Did the young lady from the Silva Family visit the Jennings Family eight years ago?”
Donovan Jennings slightly adjusted his expression upon hearing this, then confidently replied, “She did.”
As the eldest grandson of the Jennings Family, Donovan was usually responsible for entertaining younger guests, so he rembered it clearly.
Besides, the young lady from the Silva Family was plump and cute, more well-behaved compared to other second-generation kids, so she naturally left an impression on him.
It seed that the riding accident happened after visiting the Jennings Family, and it was after that the Silva Family never brought her to visit again.
“Do you have a photo of her?” Scarlett asked.
Naturally, Donovan didn’t have a photo of the Silva Family’s young lady, but it was easy to get one. He quickly had soone find a photo of her from social dia and showed it to Scarlett.
Scarlett took one look and confird, “It’s her.”
Scarlett was certain, but the people in the living room did not relax because of it.
Involving the Silva Family was not a joke.
The Silva Family, with its deep heritage, was a century-old prestigious family. If this matter were true, the young lady from the Silva Family could be said to be indirectly hard by the Jennings Family.
Even if the Jennings Family was unaware of this from start to finish, what Auntie Wu did, in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn’t differ much from the Jennings Family’s actions.
Considering how the Silva Family still cherished and cared for their young lady after she beca feeble-minded, any slight misstep, and the friendship between the Jennings and Silva Families might co to an end.
“What ‘Intelligence Changing’ or ‘Eight Wisdom,’ it all sounds like nonsense. If it were that easy to swap, couldn’t I switch too?” Lucas couldn’t tell if he truly didn’t believe it or if he just wanted to oppose his new cousin, Scarlett.
Seeing him stubbornly bouncing around, Scarlett finally graced him with a response, seriously stating, “You indeed could swap.”
Scarlett’s features were delicate, her cheeks still possessing a bit of baby softness, giving off an obedient feeling at first glance. So when she soberly replied, Lucas felt she was earnestly giving him advice.
However, the next mont, thinking of the suggestion she gave, Lucas abruptly realized.
She was clearly calling him stupid!
“How dare you insult !” Lucas’s face flushed red, pointing at Scarlett as if ready to fight her.
When mbers from the second and third houses of the Jennings Family ca downstairs, they saw this scene. Blaise Jennings imdiately rushed over and slapped Lucas on the butt, “What are you doing?! Are you never going to stop bothering your sister?!”
Blaise Jennings’ slap was not light, as a crisp smack sound was heard. Lucas imdiately jumped up, yelling out loud, “Dad!”
Turning his head, he defiantly gnashed his teeth, “Why did you hit ?! It was her who insulted first!”
“Nonsense, why would Scarlett insult you for no reason?” Blaise Jennings said with a stern face, indicating disbelief.
Lucas was nearly furious, pointing at Scarlett, “She insulted , she just called a fool!”
Blaise Jennings and the second house families all looked at Scarlett, while Azura Loomis hurriedly explained the situation.
This included Scarlett’s previous statent that the young lady from the Silva Family beca feeble-minded because Auntie Wu swapped the girl’s intelligence.
The third wife, Lucas’s mother, listened and only sympathetically patted her son’s hair, “Scarlett wasn’t wrong.”
The brain certainly could be swapped.
Lucas stared incredulously at his own mother.
Was this really his biological mother?!
Yet compared to Scarlett “insulting soone,” the Jennings Family was more concerned with Auntie Wu burying talisman paper in the garden.
Although they did not really believe in such things, having those papers buried in their garden was discomforting.
As for Scarlett, everyone simply thought she had stumbled upon the discovery. They entirely did not believe in this talk about sudden feeble-mindedness being due to intelligence swapped by soone else.
“It’s no big deal for young girls to be interested in astrology and fortune-telling, but it’s better not to discuss these at ho,” Michael Jennings, who was in the entertainnt industry, was skeptical about such matters. He even thought the eldest brother’s daughter was not serious, rely dabbling in nonsense to capture the adults’ attention.
Michael Jennings assud he understood the minds of these young girls well.
Wasn’t it just trying to make her presence known after just being acknowledged by the family?
Not just Michael Jennings, others more or less shared this thought.
Luca Jennings observed the attitude of those present, his gaze becoming somber, and he still addressed Scarlett, “I will have soone alert the Silva Family about this matter. You don’t need to worry about it.”
Scarlett had just returned ho, and he did not want her ending up targeted because of these issues.
Listening to Luca’s words, Scarlett just calmly looked at him for a mont and nodded, accepting it.
Since the Jennings Family did not want her involved…
Then she would quietly get involved on her own.
No matter what, she had to earn this money.
