Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Reliable or Brother Reliable
According to Scarlett Jennings’s previous analysis of the “System,” the Evil God System behind Azura Loomis primarily targeted Fortune.
There were probably two ways to obtain Fortune.
First, it was acquired from close people around her. Using Chase Jennings and Odessa as references, these two were relatively close to Azura Loomis, so they were the first to suffer.
Second, was seizing the body, like the thod Hestia Knight used when Scarlett Jennings first had direct contact with the so-called System.
“For those whose bodies are seized, their bodies would be occupied by an external Living Soul. That so-called Living Soul would follow the ‘System’ instructions to inhabit the body for seven days. After seven days, when the Living Soul and the body completely rge, it ans the seizing was successful,
and at the sa ti, the original body’s Fortune would be taken by the System, and the original Living Soul would be permanently trapped within the doll used as a dium.”
Scarlett Jennings paused as she spoke, glanced at Old Sir Jiang on the other side of the video, and added, “As long as the Living Soul is helped to return within seven days, it won’t have too much impact.”
Old Sir Jiang pondered for a mont and said, “During this ti, we will pretend that we don’t know.”
He knew that ever since his wife returned, her attitude toward Scarlett had been bad. He didn’t bla Scarlett for not having the imdiate intention to bring the person back.
After all, it was just seven days. They would act as if they were giving her a lesson and make her see reality.
According to Scarlett’s statent, the dium for seizing the body was a doll. There had previously been incidents involving dead dolls, and even the dolls Isria Jennings received were secretly disposed of. Yet his wife still held on to them. She could only bla herself for it.
Online, it was said that a man would only behave himself when hung on the wall. In Old Sir Jiang’s view, locking those obstinate people in a doll for a few days would also make them behave.
With Old Sir Jiang clearly expressing his attitude, Luca Jennings secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how wrong she was, Scarlett, as the biological granddaughter, couldn’t outright say that she wouldn’t care.
Otherwise, no matter how justified she was, saying it would inevitably make her seem cold and make Old Sir Jiang feel a little uncomfortable.
Donovan Jennings clearly felt the sa way. Seeing Old Sir Jiang express his attitude, he continued,
“I just had the nanny check Grandma’s room, and there was no sign of any doll display. It seems that the doll Chase took this afternoon was the one.”
What was uncertain now was the role Chase played in this and whether he was also seized.
But regardless of whether he was seized, he stood on Azura Loomis’s side. Donovan couldn’t let his guard down around him.
He then opened his phone to show Scarlett a map location.
“I had soone look into all of Chase’s properties in Sea City, including those listed under Uncle and Aunt’s nas. By analyzing the outside scenes from his social dia post this afternoon,
Azura Loomis was most likely in this downtown apartnt, and the doll that was taken was very likely inside.”
With that, he sent the map directly to Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett looked at the detailed address Donovan sent, which even included an apartnt floor plan, and she silently gave her brother a thumbs-up.
Reliable indeed ant brother was reliable.
Donovan watched her give a thumbs-up, his phoenix eyes narrowed, smiling like a gentle spring breeze. He quietly lifted his hand to return a heart gesture.
Luca Jennings watched the harmonious interaction between the siblings, his face solemnly silent, but inside…he felt a twinge of jealousy.
If he weren’t busy handling company affairs, he surely would have reacted faster than that brat Donovan!
Thinking for a mont, he added with a serious face to Donovan,
“Find a few people to keep an eye on that place, make sure not to be discovered, and most importantly, don’t let her move the doll again.”
Once the location of the doll was confird, they could tily bring Grandma’s soul back.
Scarlett Jennings nodded quietly upon hearing this.
Although Donovan had already thought of this, he still nodded affirmatively to show he understood.
Scarlett Jennings added,
“She’s in such a hurry to target Grandma, there must be other moves afterward. I’ve placed Amulets on everyone else at ho. If anything unusual happens, let know in ti, and I’ll try to return within three days.”
As Scarlett Jennings spoke, she suddenly paused, feeling as though she had forgotten sothing.
But she couldn’t rember it for a mont.
Just then, a ssage notification sounded on Donovan’s phone. Scarlett watched as Donovan slightly raised an eyebrow—it appeared that sothing was happening.
She heard him say,
“Uncle Ming just ssaged , saying Grandma went into Adam’s room and seed to be looking for sothing by his bedside.”
The three people in the room all showed a stern expression, and on the other side of the video, Scarlett Jennings almost imdiately thought of that dead doll dress.
“It seems her next target is Adam.”
Speaking of Adam, Scarlett finally rembered what she had forgotten.
She had placed Amulets on everyone at ho.
Except for Adam…
Well, it seems there was a reason Adam was chosen as the unlucky one.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t want to admit she was being particular.
She really just simply forgot about him.
After finishing the call on this side, Donovan explained sothing else to Uncle Ming on the other side.
anwhile, “Grandmother” couldn’t find that doll dress with Adam’s aura in Adam’s room and was preparing to ask Azura Loomis for clarification, when from the top of the stairs, Uncle Ming explained sothing to a maid.
“Young Master Adam plans to prepare the room for a renovation. While no one is ho in the next two days, try to pack everything in the room quickly.”
The maid nodded upon hearing this, “Understood. I already packed so things a few days ago, and so old clutter was disposed of.”
“Grandmother,” upon hearing this, guessed that the item Azura Loomis wanted must have been packed away.
It wasn’t that she didn’t search carefully, but that Azura Loomis herself didn’t store it properly.
“Grandmother” decided to go back and tell Azura Loomis about it. She couldn’t allow herself to be falsely accused.
With that decision, “Grandmother” wheeled herself back to her room quickly, not noticing Uncle Ming’s peripheral glance from the stairs as he sighed quietly.
As one of the previous participants in helping Miss Scarlett search for those “things,” Uncle Ming was already aware of Azura’s “true colors.”
He just couldn’t understand how a child usually so gentle could do such terrible things.
Moreover, when would the mada finally recognize Miss Azura’s true nature?
But the eldest young master wouldn’t let him speak of it.
Sigh.
On the other side, Azura Loomis heard what “Grandmother” had to say and slightly furrowed her brows,
“That item was hidden in the compartnt by the bed. I even wrapped it specially. Such a hidden place, how could it have been casually packed away?”
Azura was a little worried that the item had been discovered. Or how was it discovered?
Grandmother thought she was going to stir up trouble, and quickly said loudly,
“That’s what the maid said! Everything by the bedside and in the room was taken away! The doll dress you wanted must have been taken away too. It must be that you didn’t pack it well, now that it’s gone, you can’t bla .”
Hearing the voice of the mada from the other side gave Azura a headache. The doubts that had arisen in her mind were disrupted, and without further thought, she perfunctorily responded and ended the call.
Feeling a bit irritated, she vented a couple of complaints to the System about the unreliability of these external Living Souls, and then headed to the doll room.
Now that the doll dress was gone, she needed to choose a new doll for Adam to lock his aura.
Fortunately, Adam was currently living at a boarding school. Placing sothing in his surroundings without his knowing shouldn’t be too difficult.
Azura decided to make a trip back to the school tomorrow.
She needed to et her Brother Adam.
