Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Scarlett Jennings Is in a Relationship
As soon as Selene Wright spoke, Lewis Harper imdiately shut his mouth. He looked at Selene in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly,
“You—you can’t…”
Isn’t this blatant bullying?!
Alicia Sharp couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she watched from the side,
“You deliberately pursued Selene before, wasn’t it because of her status as the Wright Family’s eldest daughter? When you used her family background to benefit your own, you should have realized that her family could help you, but they could also ruin you.”
The so-called Backlash works exactly like this.
Scarlett Jennings stole a look at Alicia, surprised by her clarity in such matters.
Over there, Lewis Harper’s face turned ugly upon hearing Alicia’s words.
Judging by Selene Wright’s expression, he knew she was serious.
It was either letting her vent with a beating, or awaiting the Wright Family’s retaliation against the Harper Family.
Lewis Harper basically didn’t have a choice.
Thus, for the next ten minutes, the private room was filled with pitiful wailing.
As Selene Wright was leaving, she even had soone take the ring from that mistress’s hand before marching out of the private room in high spirits with her group of friends.
Because she had vented her anger, Selene’s face didn’t carry a trace of sadness—instead, she looked utterly refreshed and relaxed. Upon stepping out, she glanced at Scarlett Jennings with admiration and said,
“You’re amazing! How did you know he took the ring? Did you figure out in the upstairs lounge that I’d been cheated on?”
It was clear that Selene Wright’s personality was truly carefree and open.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t answer her question directly; instead, she walked to the restaurant entrance and reminded her,
“You have a VIP card for this hotel, right? Has it been a while since you checked the account?”
Selene Wright nodded instinctively. “I do, but how…”
Mid-sentence, as if realizing sothing, her face instantly darkened. Within monts, she rushed to grab the manager and demanded to check the account. Upon checking, she nearly stord back to the private room to thrash everyone again.
“That shaless woman stayed at the hotel using my card!”
Selene Wright was thoroughly disgusted.
The nearby trust-fund heirs were even more astonished.
They simply couldn’t understand this behavior.
Could soone be that poor?
Weren’t we told his family was also in business?
Scarlett Jennings didn’t speak further but offered a faint smile, quietly savoring her mont of triumph.
A group of them made their way back to the party, and Scarlett Jennings randomly perford three divinations. Once done, she brought up the idea of leaving again.
This ti, Alicia Sharp didn’t try to stop her. She understood Scarlett’s willingness to showcase her abilities tonight was for her sake.
Though so participants felt their fun had been cut short, they didn’t dare compel her to stay.
Having witnessed Scarlett Jennings’s skills firsthand, they wouldn’t risk offending her.
Their families had taught them well: when encountering soone genuinely capable, you either form alliances or respect them from a distance.
So even escorted Scarlett Jennings to the door.
Adam Jennings was among them, his expression slightly complicated as he observed the bustling crowd.
A few trust-fund heirs close to him quietly expressed their envy.
“You’re lucky to have a talented cousin like her. You must be secretly thrilled, huh?”
Adam Jennings: …
Not really.
The main issue was, this talented cousin currently didn’t think much of him.
Then, amid the crowd, soone murmured quietly,
“But in the future, marriage alliances might be tricky.”
“Yeah, soone this extraordinary—who could possibly dominate her?”
Adam Jennings’s sharp ears caught the whispers. He frowned slightly and glanced at them coldly, saying,
“This isn’t sothing you need to worry about—Scarlett Jennings already has soone.”
Upon hearing this “soone,” the nearby group’s eyes imdiately brightened with curiosity, and they clamored for gossip,
“Who is it? Is he from the Taoism Academy too?”
“Was the stuff online real?”
“Adam, co on, spill the details?”
The commotion was loud enough for Scarlett Jennings to notice from afar. Her almond-shaped eyes swept indifferent glances toward Adam Jennings.
Adam imdiately felt awkward.
After all, this was Scarlett Jennings’s personal affair.
Until it was publicly announced between her and Samuel Chalrs, he wasn’t in a position to disclose anything.
Just now, those comnts had provoked him—and he’d let it slip on impulse…
Alicia Sharp noticed the crowd getting rowdy, about to cut in to stop the gossip. Just as she opened her mouth, the elevator dinged, and its doors opened.
The mont the elevator doors revealed the person inside, the boisterous crowd fell silent as if their voices had been stolen.
Alicia Sharp couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock, stamring, “G-Great Demon King!”
She glanced at the elevator suspiciously.
The elevator had just co up from the lower floors, hadn’t it?
Why would an elevator coming from below stop here?
Surely… the Great Demon King didn’t co to this floor on purpose?
Confused, she watched as Samuel Chalrs calmly stepped out of the elevator.
The trust-fund heirs instinctively stepped back several paces in unison.
It wasn’t that Samuel Chalrs himself was particularly terrifying.
It was mostly because…
They weren’t dressed for the occasion at all today.
They were all worried that if Samuel Chalrs scrutinized their flamboyant and chaotic outfits, his perfectionist tendencies might activate, and he’d dispatch calls to their families demanding they be picked up, cleaned thoroughly, and dressed neatly and properly before returning.
For a mont, the group cast resentful looks at Alicia Sharp.
What’s with inviting the Great Demon King to an innocent costu party?
How are we supposed to have fun?
Alicia Sharp t their gazes helplessly.
She didn’t invite him!
She wasn’t familiar with him at all!
Still, since Samuel Chalrs was here, and as the host, Alicia Sharp had no choice but to step forward, albeit nervously,
“Mr. Chalrs, what brings you here…?”
Samuel Chalrs cast a faint glance at Alicia Sharp, his expression emotionless but his tone plain,
“I’m here to pick her up.”
As he spoke, his dark eyes landed on Scarlett Jennings, whose playful witch costu gave her an even more striking presence than in her viral photos.
She looked… beautiful.
Samuel Chalrs turned directly to Scarlett Jennings and asked, “Ready to go?”
His casual tone made it sound as if he’d passed by and just happened to ask.
But… who would believe that?
Scarlett Jennings, having just adjusted to the overwhelming aura from the Great Demon King, didn’t overthink it and simply nodded, saying, “Ready.”
“Let’s go then; the car’s downstairs.”
Samuel Chalrs signaled towards the elevator, and imdiately, an eager heir stepped forward to press the button.
The elevator doors reopened once more. Samuel Chalrs gestured for Scarlett Jennings to enter first before stepping in himself.
Adam Jennings, ready to follow, t Samuel Chalrs’s calm, piercing gaze at the elevator entrance.
“Are you heading back too?” Samuel asked.
Adam Jennings opened his mouth, wanting to say he ca with Scarlett Jennings,
Surely he was supposed to go back with her too?
But eting Samuel Chalrs’s emotionless yet intimidating gaze, he inexplicably… chickened out.
“I… I’m not heading back.”
Adam Jennings stepped back, glancing between Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs in the elevator before inhaling deeply,
“Please trouble Brother Samuel to take Scarlett ho.”
“Sure.”
Samuel Chalrs responded blandly as the elevator doors shut decisively.
Once the elevator confird its descent and wouldn’t open again unexpectedly, the heirs standing around the entrance finally erupted.
