Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Don’t Bla the Jennings Family for Bullying the Weak Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Don’t Bla the Jennings Family for Bullying the Weak Donovan Jennings quickly hung up the phone and said directly to Luca Jennings,
“President Jiang, I have sothing I need to handle first. Let Director Chen do today’s report.”
After saying that, he tossed the laser pointer in his hand to soone sitting nearby, making a move to leave the conference room.
Luca Jennings’ face darkened almost instantly, and he said coldly, “Stop! Who gave you permission to leave during a eting?! During work hours, you…”
Before Luca could continue his reprimand, Donovan just turned his head slightly and replied calmly,
“Scarlett was taken to the police station. I’m going to pick her up.”
With one sentence, the words following stuck in Luca’s throat.
The next second, he stood up from his chair, his expression cold, announcing, “The eting is adjourned for today.”
He then started walking toward Donovan, “I’ll go with you.”
The people in the conference room: …
Everyone instinctively looked toward Blaise Jennings.
Seeing the company vice president already halfway up from his chair, he cleared his throat at the sight of everyone looking and calmly stood up,
“Well then, let’s adjourn the eting for now.”
anwhile, Scarlett Jennings completed her statent at the police station, waiting for Delilah Woods and her mother when the sound of cars was heard outside.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads, only to see several luxury cars stop at the entrance.
Car doors opened, and several n in suits with serious expressions got out, the presence of the first two particularly evident.
The group walked into the police station with a strong aura.
The police chief ca out at the commotion and was taken aback to see who it was.
“President Jiang, what brings you here suddenly? Is there a problem?”
At the forefront were Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings, followed by the company’s legal team.
Such a presence, and with the Jennings Group’s president personally coming over, this had to be a major case.
The police chief ntally went over the possible major cases involving the Jennings Family recently.
But, no clue, absolutely nothing.
“I’m here to…”
Luca was just about to speak when Scarlett Jennings’ slightly surprised voice ca from inside,
“Dad, Brother?”
Even Scarlett was a bit stupefied at the mont.
However, when Luca saw Scarlett, his eyes flickered slightly, and he imdiately walked over to her quickly.
Donovan kept up a similar pace, reaching Scarlett within a few steps.
“Are you okay?”
“Did anyone bully you?”
They spoke in unison, their eyes filled with undisguised concern.
Scarlett’s heart softened, and she shook her head obediently, “I’m fine.”
“What exactly happened? How did you end up at the police station?” Luca couldn’t help but ask.
The police chief, seeing both n’s concern, understood the girl must be part of the Jennings Family and signaled the officer next to him for information.
Scarlett simply said, “I ran into two hooligans and ca to give a statent.”
Hooligans!
Luca and Donovan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
What kind of hooligans dared to provoke their Scarlett without fear of death!
The police chief imdiately wore a grave expression.
“Unbelievable! I never expected sothing like this in my jurisdiction. Miss Jennings, don’t worry, we will handle those hooligans seriously.”
Scarlett, hearing this, turned to the police chief, “That puts at ease. After all, those two were under soone’s orders, and there might be retaliation later.”
Upon hearing there might be retaliation, Luca’s expression darkened again,
“What exactly is happening?”
The young officer just returned with the case file, and the police chief gestured for him to explain.
The young officer succinctly explained the situation.
It started with Delilah Woods suing the Quigley family’s young master. The Quigley Family hired hooligans to intimidate the other side into dropping the case, not expecting Scarlett Jennings to get involved when she happened to be there.
The police chief realized it was the infamous juvenile bullying case causing a stir online lately and looked displeased as well.
After all, the victim, Delilah Woods, lived in his jurisdiction, and he had instructed officers to watch the family closely as the situation developed — but the other side still dared to send people.
“The Quigley Family?”
Compared to the police chief’s concern, what Luca Jennings cared about more was the fact that the Quigley Family indirectly threatened his daughter.
Donovan knew more about the Quigley Family and Delilah Woods’ situation because Lucas Jennings and Scarlett Jennings had found the legal team through him.
The fact that the two were willing to look out for others ant Donovan wouldn’t stop them.
He had thought that with the Jennings Family’s legal team as a deterrent, the Quigley Family would tread carefully. Who would have thought they wouldn’t care at all and even dared to bribe hooligans to cause harm…
With this, they couldn’t bla the Jennings Family for coming after them.
The Quigley Family surely wouldn’t have expected that the thugs they hired not only failed to threaten but attracted a more formidable presence instead.
…
Without dwelling on how Luca Jennings would deal with the Quigley Family later, Scarlett Jennings picked up Delilah Woods and took her ho.
She had co over today to let the little baby spirit have a last eting with Delilah Woods.
Delilah, having been temporarily opened to see, was initially shocked upon seeing the tiny ginseng baby spirit no bigger than her palm.
But realizing it was her just-ford child, her eyes turned red with tears imdiately.
The baby spirit couldn’t speak, but it felt the bond of blood. Once released by Scarlett, it used its tiny legs to float over to Delilah Woods, nestling its little head against her cheek.
Without the cover of resentful energy, its joy was visibly clear on its face.
Delilah cautiously attempted to cradle the baby spirit before her, tears uncontrollably falling as she sensed its attachnt to her.
Delilah had once loathed the child’s existence, even felt relieved it was gone, but this was all due to her resentnt toward Micah Quigley.
For the child, she always felt so guilt in her heart.
“Scarlett… thank you. Thank you for bringing it to see .”
Scarlett looked at her and just said,
“It was just an unford soul fetus, becoming a resentful infant due to the resentnt at the teaching building. Now that those have been dispelled, its attachnt to you remains. Sending it to reincarnate could still be difficult.”
Scarlett had only realized the issue upon seeing its small ginseng-like form.
A typical baby spirit would at least have fully developed features.
Yet it was only palm-sized, coupled with its attachnt to its mother. Forcing it into reincarnation might provoke its resistance.
Though Delilah Woods had complicated feelings toward the child, she ultimately couldn’t bear it not being able to reincarnate,
“Then, then what can be done?”
“If you are willing, you can keep it by your side as ‘Raise Ghost’ form. As long as there are enough offerings and guidance, it may bless your future.”
Delilah noticeably hesitated at Scarlett’s suggestion.
The baby spirit seed to understand and spun around happily before pressing itself against Delilah Woods again.
Seeing Delilah remain silent, Scarlett pursed her lips and added,
“There’s also a second option, which is to forcibly cut off the bloodline bond between you. Once it lets go of its attachnt to you, it can smoothly enter reincarnation.”
Still two choices.
It all depended on which one Delilah Woods would choose.
