Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Two Choices Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Two Choices Scarlett Jennings added a special tracking sensor to the Anti-backstabbing Talisman for Luca Jennings. Once the Talisman Paper was activated, Scarlett Jennings would know immediately. It just so happened that the next seeker of help was still in the midst of drawing lots, so Scarlett Jennings stood up to temporarily leave the camera and called Luca Jennings. Although she believed her father could handle it, being entangled by both rotten luck in romance and scheming people at once, Scarlett Jennings still felt uneasy. Luca Jennings answered the phone quickly. While the man on the other end tried to restrain himself, Scarlett Jennings could still detect an even colder and more stern tone than usual. “Dad, the Anti-backstabbing Talisman I gave you has been activated. Are you encountering any trouble over there?” When Luca Jennings heard this, he subconsciously touched the inside pocket of his suit and thought about how his daughter’s Talisman had just blocked a backstabber’s scheme for him, his originally icy expression softened slightly. “There’s a bit of a minor issue, but Dad will handle it. You focus on filming your show.” Luca Jennings may have spoken lightly, but Scarlett Jennings had an intuition that it couldn’t be just a minor issue. Ever since she returned to the Jennings Family, she had noticed that, perhaps due to the Family’s accumulated Fortune over many years, the Jiang Family members had stronger Fortune than ordinary people. Especially Luca Jennings, as the current Family Head, his Fortune was even stronger than the others. Ordinary schemers couldn’t plot against him. If someone really managed to plot against him and yet got rebuffed by the Talisman Paper, then it was certainly not just a minor problem. With this thought, Scarlett Jennings straightforwardly said, “Where are you? I’ll come to find you.” The moment her words fell, an instantly rejecting voice came from the other end of the phone, “No need!” Scarlett Jennings couldn’t tell if it was her illusion, but Luca Jennings sounded obviously rushed and even somewhat panicky when he said this. Thinking about how calm a person Luca Jennings usually was, Scarlett Jennings grew even more cautious. It seemed that the ‘minor issue’ Dad was facing wasn’t so minor after all. Luca Jennings also realized his response was a bit excessive and tempered his tone, adding, “I can handle things here. Don’t come over. Just do your live broadcast well, and I’ll pick you up after you finish.” Scarlett Jennings could hear his refusal and didn’t insist. However, upon hanging up the phone, she directly asked Director Clark for a leave. Even if Luca Jennings didn’t tell her his exact location, she could track it through the aura of the Talisman Paper. The more he tried to stop her, the more she had to see for herself what sort of ghosts or monsters these so-called rotten luck in romance and schemers were. ... On the other end, outside a hotel private room. After Luca Jennings hung up the phone, his momentary softening was retracted instantly, replaced by an overwhelmingly cold and stern chill. Walking back from the corridor into the private room, Assistant Lin was still maintaining his original posture behind the door. Inside the private room, it was a total mess at the moment. Odessa was wearing a breezy floral camisole dress, casually draped with a jacket over her bare shoulders, and currently sitting disheveled on the carpet, trembling. And sitting opposite her on the couch was a man surrounded by a gloomy aura. That man was none other than Michael Jennings, who had flown in early in the morning out of concern for his wife’s injuries. Luca Jennings’s gaze coldly swept over Odessa on the floor, a clear disgust flashing in his eyes, but he quickly looked away and then turned to look at the gloomy-faced Michael Jennings on the couch. After a while, he spoke in a cold voice, “Decide what to do about today’s incident.” If it weren’t for considering that Michael Jennings was his younger brother, at the very moment the incident occurred, he would have dealt with Odessa silently and without a trace. Just thinking about what had just happened, Luca Jennings felt nauseated. Such vile deeds, if Scarlett were to see them, it would only dirty his daughter’s ears!! ... This morning, as agreed upon yesterday, Luca Jennings specifically made time for a private meeting with Odessa in a reserved room at the hotel’s clubhouse. Since it was a private meeting, Luca Jennings did not let Assistant Lin accompany him, only asking him to wait outside the club. Upon entering, he smelled the familiar scent of incense, one he usually favored. However, for some reason, today it made him feel suffocated in his chest. He subconsciously reached up to loosen his shirt collar, noticing a subtle feeling of excitement, when he suddenly felt a heat in the inner pocket of his chest. That instant scorching sensation brought his mind instantly into focus, and he quickly realized something was wrong. There was something wrong with the incense. When Luca Jennings realized there might be a problem with the incense, his face immediately darkened. His first thought was to suspect that Odessa was conspiring with others to target him, or that she had reached some kind of agreement to push a certain undesirable admirer his way. In his position, he was accustomed to suspecting conspiracy. He even wondered if his brother Michael was discontent with him taking over the Jennings Family, leading Odessa to orchestrate such a scene. He didn’t react immediately but waited in the room to see which undesirable admirer she had set him up with. However, what Luca Jennings never expected was that the person Odessa had arranged... was herself!!! Seeing Odessa casually take off her coat upon entering, revealing her curvaceous figure, Luca Jennings was shocked and his face turned unprecedentedly dark. This was even worse than arranging someone else! Odessa thought he had inhaled those chaotic gases in advance and, unabashedly, began to reveal to him her feelings that she had harbored over the years. Listening to those words, Luca Jennings felt nothing but disgust. Lusted after by his own sister-in-law for many years. And she even planned to use such despicable means, trying to start something with him? Just the thought of such a scenario made Luca Jennings wish he could immediately throw this woman to the Arctic Circle. Even if nothing really happened today, once the rumor about the sister-in-law harboring a secret love for the older nephew spreads, it would be a huge scandal for the entire Jennings Family. Luca Jennings’s mind was already racing with countless ways to handle Odessa quietly, but before he could act, The door to the room was violently pushed open. Outside stood Michael Jennings with a gloomy and furious face. He was outside and had heard every word Odessa had just said. Clearly, Odessa had not expected that her meticulously planned private meeting would be suddenly interrupted by Michael Jennings. In that instant, Odessa’s face turned deathly pale. Although she had gone to great lengths to create an opportunity to be alone with Luca Jennings today, she didn’t actually want to have a showdown with Michael. She only wanted to secure a hold on Luca Jennings through a one-time affair, making future private meetings between the two of them seem natural. But publicly, she still needed the status of the second daughter-in-law of the Jennings Family. But why did things turn out this way? When Luca Jennings stepped out to take a phone call earlier, it was clear that the room had seen a fierce dispute. Seeing Michael Jennings on the sofa silent for a long time, Luca Jennings didn’t bother to waste any more time with the two of them here. He directly gave Michael Jennings two choices. “First, divorce her.” Upon hearing divorce, Michael Jennings suddenly looked up at him, his reddened eyes trembling, clearly reflecting pain and conflict. With an expressionless face, Luca Jennings coldly presented the second option to his brother. “Second, split from the family. You and her move out separately, and never have contact with the family again.”
