Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Miserable or He’s More Miserable Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Miserable or He’s More Miserable Azura Loomis heard Chase Jennings openly admit it, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she couldn’t help but silently curse him for his stupidity. But to maintain a good impression, she spoke up to explain for him, “Brother Chase’s approach might have been extreme, but his intentions were good, Scarlett. He’s worried that you’re too young and might be dazzled by the glitz of the entertainment industry. Please don’t blame him, okay?” Sure enough, the moment Azura spoke, Chase Jennings’ eyes showed a trace of gratitude that only she could understand. Azura instantly heard a soft prompt from the system in her mind. Favorability +2. Sure enough, it increased. Her lips curved slightly, yet Azura continued to look at Scarlett Jennings with utmost sincerity. Scarlett Jennings looked at Azura with a blank expression and simply said, “To date, the greatest malice I’ve encountered on the show has come from his hired trolls.” Those words instantly silenced both Azura and Blaise Jennings, who also intended to excuse Chase. Scarlett Jennings didn’t argue with Chase further. Instead, she turned her head, looking directly at Old Sir Jiang and Luca Jennings to his right. Her tone was neither warm nor cold, but her attitude was firm, “I never easily use my metaphysical means on those around me. I won’t do anything about Chase’s issue, but I hope this is the last time. If it happens again, I won’t say another word. I’ll take my own measures to make him behave.” As she spoke, she turned to Blaise Jennings and Flora Xalvadora, speaking softly, “At that time, please, Uncle and Aunt, don’t blame me.” Blaise Jennings and Flora Xalvadora were speechless. “Scarlett, rest assured if he dares to do such a thing again, I’ll personally break his leg!” Blaise Jennings glared angrily at his eldest son with a stern face. This son had always been worry-free. Blaise Jennings had focused more on the hot-tempered Lucas Jennings, yet didn’t expect that while Lucas had started getting along “happily” with his cousin, it was instead his usual well-behaved eldest son who quietly caused such trouble. His words were to clarify his stance. Although the words were harsh, ultimately, he wanted his niece to leave him to be disciplined by him. Those metaphysical means, if they could be avoided, should still be avoided... With Blaise Jennings, as the father taking a stand, it was natural for Luca Jennings to do the same. Of course, he stood by his daughter’s side. “Next time is next time; this time is this time. No matter the intention, a mistake is a mistake.” Luca Jennings paused, his insightful eyes scanning the tense face of Chase, then added, “I remember Chase said before that he was preparing to start a new logistics company. The idea is good, but entrepreneurship isn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing. How about this, put the entrepreneurship plans on hold for now. I’ll give you the branch of the logistics company in Tong City. You can go there to take over for a while, get familiar with the operation model of a logistics company, do well, and then we’ll talk about the new company.” Luca Jennings casually decided on Chase Jennings going to Tong City. Chase’s face changed immediately. He had already been preparing for his new company! All because of such a small issue, his uncle was actually going to scrap his entrepreneurship plan!! No matter how nicely it was said, it couldn’t hide the fact that it was to vent frustration for his daughter! “Uncle!” Chase felt uneasy, but he knew very well his uncle’s temperament. Once he had spoken, he wouldn’t change. So, he turned his head to look at Old Sir Jiang, seeking help, “Grandpa...” He didn’t appeal to Blaise Jennings because, in his family, whatever the elder brother said went. Moreover, Blaise Jennings was also agreeable to this arrangement by Luca. Previously, when Chase mentioned establishing a new logistics brand, Blaise had been somewhat worried. After all, the domestic logistics market, both big and small, was almost saturated. Initially, out of pity for his son’s enthusiasm, he didn’t want to dampen it, thinking it would be fine to let him give it a try and that, at worst, it would just mean some money going down the drain. But now, with his elder brother’s arrangement, even though it meant sending his son to Tong City and out of his watchful eye, it suited his elder son’s need for experience. Besides, given his elder son’s attitude towards Scarlett, it would take time to change, so it would be better to let him go out and focus on proper business, avoiding him idling around, plotting against his cousin. Thinking this, Blaise felt that his elder brother’s arrangement couldn’t have been more perfect. Truly worthy of being the elder brother! Blaise Jennings didn’t speak, but his expression showed huge approval. Chase placed all his hope on his grandfather. Old Sir Jiang, hearing him, looked kindly at his second grandson, “Just do as your uncle said, go to Tong City and learn how to run a company. After all, in the future, the Jennings Family will have to rely on you younger ones.” Chase’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected his grandfather to actually approve of his uncle’s decision to send him away. A feeling of inexplicable resentment arose in his heart. Even if he had to give up on entrepreneurship and learn how to run a company, couldn’t he directly go to the Jennings Group headquarters to learn? Why did it have to be Tong City?! Though the cities weren’t that far apart, Chase couldn’t help but feel like he was being exiled. But he dared not speak these words. Although the Jennings Group was nominally managed by his uncle and father together, the division of responsibilities within the group was very clear. His father was full-heartedly dedicated to supporting his elder brother in managing the group well. If he put forward the idea of going to the Jennings Group to learn management now, not only would his father not support him, but it might even arouse his uncle’s suspicion. He indeed had ambition, but now was not the time to reveal it. With this in mind, Chase clenched his fists at his sides tightly, silently accepting his uncle’s arrangement. Even though he hid his emotions well, Old Sir Jiang could still see his grievance and unwillingness in just one glance. He chuckled silently to himself, thinking that although this grandson was smart, he still lacked the steadiness of the eldest grandson. “The matter of going to Tong City is settled, but you hired people to go against your own cousin. There still needs to be a punishment. For the next six months, you will have no pocket money. Your bank account will be temporarily managed by your assistant, with a limit set on expenses. Lastly, you must apologize to your cousin in front of everyone. Let this matter be.” It had to be said, the older ones were indeed more experienced. As Old Sir Jiang spoke, Chase’s expression, which had just begun to soften, immediately turned a mix of blue and purple. The entrepreneurship plan was put on hold, his monthly allowance was gone, his bank account was limited, and he even had to apologize to Scarlett! At this moment, Chase truly felt that his grandfather and uncle were too partial. All for such a trivial matter, they went to such lengths. If he had known that his grandfather and uncle would go so far, he... He wouldn’t have bothered with Scarlett’s affairs! If she insisted on entering the entertainment industry and disgracing the Jiang Family, then let her! What did it have to do with him? Chase was really regretting it now. Deeply regretting it. In all this commotion, Scarlett ended up with nothing but gained a bunch of fans. Yet he was exiled and had spending limits imposed on him. He was indeed the most miserable. So, what exactly had he been trying to gain here?
