Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Luca Jennings Transfers 10,000,000 Yuan to You Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Luca Jennings Transfers 10,000,000 Yuan to You Alicia Sharp burst into a bright and radiant smile at the remark.
Lucas Jennings’s expression, however, imdiately fell, and he stomped his foot at her.
“My sister! I’m on your side!”
Seeing Alicia Sharp already getting up to co over to him, Lucas hurriedly turned around and dashed off the way he ca.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to shout to Scarlett Jennings, “Sis! Don’t forget my Anti-backstabbing Talisman! I’ll pick it up later!”
Alicia was just trying to scare him and was ready to leave with her bag.
“I’ll thank you in advance for the Talisman. If it works, I’ll introduce so ‘business’ your way.”
As she spoke, she winked intentionally at Scarlett Jennings.
There wasn’t a hint of disdain on her face for Scarlett’s study of Mystical Technique and charging for it.
Scarlett gave her a slight smile and, for once, offered a piece of advice.
“The Peach Blossom Talisman needs to be kept close to be effective. It’s best to place it in sothing she carries every day.”
For example, a phone case.
Alicia instantly understood, gave her a wink, and turned on her heels, striding away in high heels, confident and flamboyant like a proud peacock.
Scarlett later found out that this confident and flamboyant eldest daughter of the Sharp Family was initially the only child of the family. However, after her birth mother’s unexpected death, her father remarried within half a year.
The new wife ca in, not only bringing along a stepsister a year younger than Alicia but, absurdly, this stepsister was also her biological father’s child.
With the stepmother and stepsister moving in, her biological father beca a stepfather. All that Alicia originally had as the eldest daughter was gradually taken away.
Everyone expected her to grow into a timid little victim. However, after being sent to her grandmother’s in the county, she returned a year later, boldly maneuvering among different families and using public opinion to gain the upper hand.
From then on, whenever anyone treated her poorly, she would stir things up at ho unreservedly, not caring about losing face.
The most intense incident was when she went to the police station to report her father’s dostic violence, live-streaming the entire ordeal and tagging all her uncles to witness.
In the end, the greatly embarrassed Tristan Sharp compromised, treating her well thereafter, and forbidding the stepmother and stepsister from bothering her.
It could be said that Alicia Sharp, within the Sharp Family, enjoyed everything an eldest daughter should, except for fatherly love.
But Scarlett thought, Alicia didn’t need that either.
In such a terrible family environnt, she had done her best to beco the best version of herself possible.
…
That evening, Lucas Jennings showed off in front of Luca Jennings and his own parents the Protective Jade Token he had received from Scarlett Jennings.
Like a recognized dal, it left the senior Jennings baffled.
Who had been criticizing Scarlett earlier?
Now, not only was he calling her “sister,” but he also got a “token”?
While Donovan Jennings and his wife were gratified, they suddenly felt a bit miffed.
The Protective Jade Token hand-carved by their niece was sothing they hadn’t received.
Previously, only given to the imdiate family, nobody thought much of it. But now that it was given to Lucas, it felt like they were being treated differently.
Thus, under Donovan and his wife’s gaze, Scarlett quietly handed out two more Protective Jade Tokens.
At that mont, Adam Jennings returned from the hospital just in ti to catch Scarlett handing out the tokens, showing no concern at all.
“I’m not generally one to wear jade. After all, for the art of engraving on jade, it should be Master Grant’s work you’re aspiring to achieve if it’s a hobby of yours.”
Adam said this as he reluctantly extended his hand toward her.
In the presence of his uncle, he wouldn’t purposely disregard her gesture.
If she insisted on giving it, he’d take it as a trinket and casually toss it in a corner at ho.
Scarlett looked at him rather strangely and then calmly spread her hands.
“Haven’t made many jade tokens, none left.”
Adam: …
Scarlett: “After all, it’s just a hobby for , not a profession.”
Adam: …
Scarlett was definitely doing this on purpose.
There wasn’t any left, and he didn’t care to have one anyway!
Adam stord off, and Scarlett paid him no mind.
She hadn’t planned on giving one to everyone in the family.
She wouldn’t foolishly do the sa thing twice.
Moreover, the ones she’d just given out were indeed the last two.
Scarlett pondered about getting so new materials to make more later. Just as she headed upstairs, she heard another notification of a deposit on her phone.
When she opened it, she was dumbfounded.
[Luca Jennings has transferred 10,000,000 yuan to you.]
Scarlett turned her head, only to see Luca had sohow also co upstairs, looking at her with a faint trace of hidden sympathy.
“Your Uncle Silva told everything.”
Scarlett: ??
What did Gideon Silva tell you?
“He said you treated the Silva Family’s young lady without charging because I had already paid a ten million reward.”
Luca explained with so helplessness,
“Scarlett, you’re a sensible child, but that ten million was for repaying the Garrison Family and giving you pocket money.”
Luca’s original intention was to compensate the Silva Family, but little did she know that Scarlett had already taken the initiative, not only curing Andrea Silva but also maintaining the Jennings Family’s dignity.
“You helped the family preserve the relationship with the Silva Family, but the family shouldn’t let you suffer any losses.”
Luca said,
“Think of this ten million as us paying you on behalf of the Silva Family. Keep it, and if it’s not enough, let know.”
Scarlett: …
Ever since distancing from Isolde, money had suddenly beco easy to earn…
Although she felt it was fine to waive the fee for the Silva Family on behalf of the Jennings, she wasn’t going to refuse money offered.
“Thank you, Dad.”
Scarlett smiled slightly, her coolness transford into a deanor of obedience and understanding.
Looking at her, Luca had an inexplicable urge to pat her head.
He’d seen Donovan do just that.
His hand, hanging by his side, moved slightly, hesitatingly, as he carefully lifted it, but before he could, Scarlett had already nodded to him and returned to her room.
Her hand, just lifted, fell back to his side weakly.
Luca’s expression remained unchanged as he silently turned back to his study.
…
Elsewhere, at the hospital.
In a VIP ward, Azura Loomis lay with her eyes closed on the hospital bed, her slightly pale face nestled in the white pillow, making her appear both fragile and helpless.
Chase Jennings stood by her side, observing her intently, his eyes filled with compassion and tenderness.
After a while, he couldn’t resist reaching out, wanting to gently touch the girl’s alabaster-like skin.
His fingers trembled slightly, but as he was just about to touch her, the person in bed suddenly fluttered her eyelashes and awoke.
Chase hurriedly withdrew his hand, instead tugging the edge of her blanket.
Azura looked at him, full of confusion, “Brother Chase, what ti is it? Why are you still here?”
“I can’t rest easy with you in the hospital alone.”
Chase’s voice was gentle as he said, “I’m here to keep you company.”
“Thank you, Brother Chase.” Azura looked delighted, her eyelashes lowering slightly, “Brother Chase, I’d like so water.”
Chase nodded imdiately at her words, turning to pour her so water.
Not noticing, as he turned, the previously gentle and smiling girl on the bed had a pair of eyes suddenly cold.
