Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Garrison Family Siblings Fall Out Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Garrison Family Siblings Fall Out “I have told you before that I would handle it, but you didn’t listen and ended up injuring soone.”
Josiah Garrison accused her in a cold voice,
“I arranged a new place for you to live so you could recuperate at ho, but just because you were in a bad mood, you threw your phone outside. The falling object injured soone, and I had to compensate a large sum of money again. Isolde Garrison, tell , what else should I do for you? Is it my fault that you ended up like this?”
Because of Isolde, the already dwindling assets of the Garrison Family were nearly at their limit, and yet Isolde was still completely lacking in self-awareness to this very mont.
Even now.
Isolde, looking at Josiah’s stern face, felt even more aggrieved and indignant,
“I’m your little sister, shouldn’t you be protecting ?”
As she spoke, she added self-righteously, “Besides, I have a share in the assets left by mom and dad, and I haven’t even made an issue of you using the family’s money to fill the company’s holes!”
Instead of using all that money to patch up the company’s debts, isn’t it more appropriate to use so to protect her?
Josiah was virtually shaken on the spot by her self-righteous tone.
He had never imagined that the little sister he had doted on since childhood harbored such thoughts.
All these days, he was exhausted from dealing with the company’s affairs. Even so, the mont he learned of her troubles, he was there to resolve those problems for her.
Yet, in her eyes, it seed all that he had done was taken for granted.
She even constantly felt that he was using money that rightfully belonged to her.
Josiah felt as if he was truly recognizing his sister for the first ti.
No, he had realized it before that.
When a ghost entangled him and he was about to collapse, she was unwilling to lend him the Jade Token even temporarily.
Even though that Jade Token was rightfully his.
He should have known that the selfish and indifferent character she developed under their parents’ pampering would not change just because he was her brother.
In this mont, Josiah couldn’t help but fall into deep self-mockery.
Is the Garrison Family suffering like this over such trifle matters?
How ironic.
Suddenly, Josiah just didn’t want to be involved anymore.
If the company goes bankrupt, so be it. He didn’t want to care about what would beco of Isolde in the future either.
Let it be.
A myriad of words ultimately converged into a single gaze brimming with disappointnt and disenchantnt.
“You can live in this house by yourself, I will give you five thousand yuan a month for expenses. From now on, I will no longer take care of you.”
Having spoken coldly, Josiah didn’t wait for her reaction and turned to leave.
Isolde was completely stunned when she heard this.
What five thousand yuan?
What can she do with five thousand yuan?
She wanted to question Josiah about the aning of his words. Was he thinking of abandoning her?
He takes all the family’s money but leaves her only five thousand yuan a month?
How could this be?!
Isolde tried to follow, but her leg, due to a secondary fracture, wouldn’t move, leaving her no choice but to watch helplessly as Josiah departed.
In that mont, Isolde truly panicked.
With her current condition, what would she do if her brother wouldn’t care for her anymore?
How could he not care for her?
She wanted to call him to co back, only to find her phone had been smashed.
At that mont, Isolde truly began to regret.
Lying on the bed in her old apartnt, Isolde felt resentnt and hatred in her heart; resentnt towards Josiah, resentnt towards their parents, but most of all, the person she hated the most was still Scarlett Jennings.
Without her realizing, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Isolde Garrison felt the pangs of hunger in her stomach and rembered that she hadn’t eaten yet.
Her gaze fell on the takeout on the table, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Not to ntion that the food was already cold, how could she eat this takeout that cost just a few dozen yuan per serving?
But if she didn’t eat, she had no way to order sothing new…
As she hesitated, the front door was pushed open once again.
Isolde’s eyes flickered, and she hurriedly lay down on her side, turning her back to the door. Only when she heard the approaching footsteps did she finally speak, her voice filled with resentful energy,
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t care for anymore? Why co back? Even if you apologized, I would not forgive you!”
After Isolde finished speaking, there was no response from behind her.
She found it strange, struggled to turn over, and looked towards the door.
Despite the dim light in the room, she could still identify that the person before her was not her brother!
Isolde’s pupils dilated, and in that instant, scenes of break-ins, robberies, and murders flashed through her mind, and a scream almost escaped her throat.
Just at that mont, the room’s light was abruptly switched on.
After being blinded by the strong light, Isolde could see the visitor clearly, “You… who are you? How did you get in!?”
The visitor was an elderly man of around seventy, with a thin figure and slightly sunken cheeks for unknown reasons, giving off an eerily oppressive feeling.
He looked at her, slowly curling his lips into a smile,
“I am soone who has co to help you.”
The old man’s smile carried a cold and sinister air, but the words he uttered caused a sudden shock in Isolde’s heart,
“I can help you deal with Scarlett Jennings.”
Isolde was thrilled, but she still didn’t let down her guard, “Scarlett is so powerful, how can you help ?”
The man stepped forward, letting Isolde have a clear look at his face.
“You may not rember , but I am the one who calculated that Scarlett Jennings’ Fate Chart was compatible with yours, and I taught the Garrison Family the Mystical Technique of life-switching. My surna is Ge.”
That is to say, the favourable life that Isolde had enjoyed for the past eighteen years was all thanks to him.
Isolde’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Are you Master Ge?!”
You see, when she had her accident, her family had been trying to get in touch with him for help, but they couldn’t find him no matter what.
She had already given up, never expecting this man to take the initiative to show up again!
With that thought, Isolde imdiately saw a glimr of hope in him,
“Master Ge, where have you been? There’s been a big problem at ho!”
Master Ge’s eyes were dark.
Of course, he knew what had happened to the Garrison Family.
For when Scarlett Jennings had broken the Forbidden Technique he had set up for eighteen years, he had suffered a direct backlash.
That backlash had nearly cost him his life.
If he hadn’t taken precautionary asures, he would not have been able to stand before the Garrison family again.
These past days, he had seen the news about Scarlett Jennings online and understood why his Forbidden Technique had failed at the last mont.
In the end, it was the Garrison family’s own fault that they had allowed her to learn Mystical Techniques right under his nose for so long!
Originally, he was wary; judging by Scarlett’s aptitude shown in her livestreams, taking her on directly would have been a bad move.
But what was more, she could even draw upon the Dragon God’s Power!
The mont he realized this, he knew he could not let her go.
To have such a unique Fate Chart and yet be able to summon the Dragon God’s Power.
Such allure was worth risking another gamble.
The old man’s confidence also ca from his own certainty.
“Even though the life-switching was a failure, for the past eighteen years, you have lived off her Fate Chart, and she bore the burden of your own. Even if the switch failed, your fates remain entangled.”
The old man said with a smile, “With your blood as the guide, I am confident I can make Scarlett Jennings completely obedient.”
