Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Birthday Party Invitation
Scarlett Jennings has always been soone who acts quickly on her thoughts. Upon returning to her room, she decided to ask Donovan Jennings about Ava Zimrman.
Chase Jennings inexplicably fixating on soone he’s only recently t? She felt her brother wouldn’t just stand idly by.
But before she could find Donovan, Alicia Sharp’s ssage arrived first.
Ever since Alicia advised her to steer clear of bad relationships, the two had remained in touch from ti to ti.
This ti, Alicia’s ssage was an outright invitation.
Alicia Sharp: [Today’s my birthday. I heard you’re back ho. Want to co to my birthday party tonight?]
Scarlett wasn’t particularly interested in parties and was about to decline, but then another ssage followed swiftly.
Alicia Sharp: [Chase and Adam are coming too. Chase even said he’s bringing a female companion. You could pair up with Adam.]
Her curiosity piqued upon reading this ssage.
Female companion?
Could it be Ava Zimrman?
Without hesitation, she dialed Alicia via voice call.
Alicia seed surprised to see Scarlett’s call, “You actually took the initiative to call ?”
Scarlett ignored her teasing and directly asked,
“Do you know the female companion Chase is bringing tonight?”
“How would I know?” Alicia replied without a second thought, “I’m not close with him.”
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, “Not close, yet you invited him to your birthday party?”
“I didn’t invite him.”
Alicia explained, “I invited Adam. We’re both from Sea University, and our families have so connections. Chase is a whole year older than ; he’s always avoided mingling with us juniors.
He only insisted on coming after hearing my birthday party the was a costu party, saying he wanted to bring a friend and join in. Fine by . It’s not like one or two more people would make a difference.”
Scarlett heard the party’s the was costus and instantly deduced Chase’s intentions.
After learning from Lucas Jennings about how fixated Chase was on Ava Zimrman, it wasn’t hard to surmise he intended to bring her to experience the excitent of these second-generation elite gatherings.
Especially since costu parties tend to be less formal compared to standard ones.
After pondering for a mont, Scarlett said,
“Alright, I’ll co over tonight. Send the address and ti.”
“Alright.” Alicia replied, but she sounded sowhat regretful. Suddenly, her tone shifted as realization struck, “Wait, you agreed?”
Alicia had initially assud Scarlett wouldn’t attend. After all, since returning to the Jennings Family, she’d only attended two banquets. She had completely disappeared from second-generation gatherings afterward.
She was only asking out of protocol this ti, yet Scarlett readily agreed!
Thrilled, Alicia said, “Alright then, I look forward to seeing you tonight. Do you have anything suitable for the costu party? If not, co straight to my place. I’ll get a stylist to dress you up.”
“No need. I can wear my academy uniform.”
“Your academy uniform…” Alicia paused for a mont, then her voice took on a slightly sharp tone as she realized what Scarlett ant,
“You can’t attend my birthday in a Taoist Robe! No way! Hold on, I’ll pick an outfit and send it to you right now.”
Without allowing Scarlett any chance to refuse, Alicia hung up the call in a hurry.
Eventually, Scarlett didn’t wear her academy uniform. Instead, a stylist arranged by the butler crafted an intricate little witch costu.
Her black, elaborately designed witch dress was adorned with black feathers, a stunningly ornate gemstone necklace, and a witch hat embellished with crystals and flowers, but the most eye-catching aspect of her ensemble was her knee-length, fluffy red curls.
From the back, her crimson curls cascaded down, barely covering her entire backside, swaying lightly as she moved with an air of mystery and flair.
As her transformation beca apparent, Lucas Jennings was the first to be stunned, pulling out his phone and snapping pictures frantically.
Even Isria Jennings exclaid that she no longer wanted to be a little princess.
She wanted to be a pretty little witch instead.
Just like Sister Scarlett!
Even Adam Jennings, the most reserved among them, couldn’t hold back, offering a quiet complint, “Not bad.”
Isria thought her brother was being blind.
Sister Scarlett looked stunning.
Donovan Jennings smiled, took a photo as well, then walked over and said,
“It’s about ti. I borrowed a car for you both; you’ll be riding that to the party.”
Scarlett was set to attend with Adam. Originally, she had wanted to bring Nathan White along; after all, it felt rude to leave a guest alone in the house when he seldom visited.
But upon hearing he’d be dragged to a crowded and bustling party, Nathan adamantly backed out.
Instead, he chose to stay and play video gas with Dashiell and Lucas Jennings.
Scarlett decided not to push him.
Adam wasn’t too interested in such parties himself.
Despite knowing Alicia, they weren’t particularly close. Hearing that Scarlett was going in a witch’s outfit, he decided to take it seriously, dressing up as a vampire aristocrat, complete with curled hair.
Standing together, they presented quite the harmonious vibe.
When they went downstairs, they saw a vintage black car parked outside—a retro model from the previous century, obviously sourced specially to fit the two’s costus.
The pair got into the car and headed straight for the venue where Alicia held her party.
Alicia had booked the Aerial Garden atop the club, fully decorated to match the evening’s costu the starting right at the elevator entrance.
While attendees had made a noteworthy effort on their custom outfits, the mont Scarlett and Adam arrived, all eyes turned to them.
Particularly when Alicia, dressed in an elaborate black-and-white demon queen attire, walked over and greeted Scarlett by na.
The second-generation elites couldn’t help but look surprised.
After all, the na Scarlett Jennings had beco infamous within their circle in recent weeks.
Not only because she was the Jennings Family’s eldest daughter but also because she entered the seemingly eccentric Taoism Academy as a Top Scorer.
Back then, so even mocked her for aspiring to beco a Taoist.
But after the broadcast of *Inspiration*, Scarlett’s reputation skyrocketed within their circles.
What she studied turned out to be real skills.
Even the bigwigs who didn’t believe in taphysics started feeling uncertain, while those who already believed in such theories no longer hesitated. They repeatedly reminded their juniors to establish good relationships with Scarlett, ideally inviting her over for frequent visits.
Unfortunately, Scarlett never attended their gatherings.
Seeing her at Alicia’s party tonight was nothing short of shocking.
Among the surprised faces was Chase Jennings.
Having left early to get Ava Zimrman dressed at their family’s regular stylist, he had no idea Scarlett would also attend tonight’s party.
And dressed like this!
“Scarlett Jennings, why are you…”
Chase stepped forward, intending to ask why she was there, but Scarlett didn’t even look at him. Her gaze calmly passed over him, landing directly on the girl behind him, dressed as an elf maiden.
As their eyes t, Scarlett instantly confird her identity—
Ava Zimrman.
She finally got to see her in person.
