Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Reliable or Brother Reliable According to Scarlett Jennings’s previous analysis of the “System,” the Evil God System behind Azura Loomis primarily targeted Fortune. There were probably two ways to obtain Fortune. First, it was acquired from close people around her. Using Chase Jennings and Odessa as references, these two were relatively close to Azura Loomis, so they were the first to suffer. Second, was seizing the body, like the method Hestia Knight used when Scarlett Jennings first had direct contact with the so-called System. “For those whose bodies are seized, their bodies would be occupied by an external Living Soul. That so-called Living Soul would follow the ‘System’ instructions to inhabit the body for seven days. After seven days, when the Living Soul and the body completely merge, it means the seizing was successful, and at the same time, the original body’s Fortune would be taken by the System, and the original Living Soul would be permanently trapped within the doll used as a medium.” Scarlett Jennings paused as she spoke, glanced at Old Sir Jiang on the other side of the video, and added, “As long as the Living Soul is helped to return within seven days, it won’t have too much impact.” Old Sir Jiang pondered for a moment and said, “During this time, we will pretend that we don’t know.” He knew that ever since his wife returned, her attitude toward Scarlett had been bad. He didn’t blame Scarlett for not having the immediate intention to bring the person back. After all, it was just seven days. They would act as if they were giving her a lesson and make her see reality. According to Scarlett’s statement, the medium for seizing the body was a doll. There had previously been incidents involving dead dolls, and even the dolls Ismeria Jennings received were secretly disposed of. Yet his wife still held on to them. She could only blame herself for it. Online, it was said that a man would only behave himself when hung on the wall. In Old Sir Jiang’s view, locking those obstinate people in a doll for a few days would also make them behave. With Old Sir Jiang clearly expressing his attitude, Luca Jennings secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how wrong she was, Scarlett, as the biological granddaughter, couldn’t outright say that she wouldn’t care. Otherwise, no matter how justified she was, saying it would inevitably make her seem cold and make Old Sir Jiang feel a little uncomfortable. Donovan Jennings clearly felt the same way. Seeing Old Sir Jiang express his attitude, he continued, “I just had the nanny check Grandma’s room, and there was no sign of any doll display. It seems that the doll Chase took this afternoon was the one.” What was uncertain now was the role Chase played in this and whether he was also seized. But regardless of whether he was seized, he stood on Azura Loomis’s side. Donovan couldn’t let his guard down around him. He then opened his phone to show Scarlett a map location. “I had someone look into all of Chase’s properties in Sea City, including those listed under Uncle and Aunt’s names. By analyzing the outside scenes from his social media post this afternoon, Azura Loomis was most likely in this downtown apartment, and the doll that was taken was very likely inside.” With that, he sent the map directly to Scarlett Jennings. Scarlett looked at the detailed address Donovan sent, which even included an apartment floor plan, and she silently gave her brother a thumbs-up. Reliable indeed meant brother was reliable. Donovan watched her give a thumbs-up, his phoenix eyes narrowed, smiling like a gentle spring breeze. He quietly lifted his hand to return a heart gesture. Luca Jennings watched the harmonious interaction between the siblings, his face solemnly silent, but inside...he felt a twinge of jealousy. If he weren’t busy handling company affairs, he surely would have reacted faster than that brat Donovan! Thinking for a moment, he added with a serious face to Donovan, “Find a few people to keep an eye on that place, make sure not to be discovered, and most importantly, don’t let her move the doll again.” Once the location of the doll was confirmed, they could timely bring Grandma’s soul back. Scarlett Jennings nodded quietly upon hearing this. Although Donovan had already thought of this, he still nodded affirmatively to show he understood. Scarlett Jennings added, “She’s in such a hurry to target Grandma, there must be other moves afterward. I’ve placed Amulets on everyone else at home. If anything unusual happens, let me know in time, and I’ll try to return within three days.” As Scarlett Jennings spoke, she suddenly paused, feeling as though she had forgotten something. But she couldn’t remember it for a moment. Just then, a message notification sounded on Donovan’s phone. Scarlett watched as Donovan slightly raised an eyebrow—it appeared that something was happening. She heard him say, “Uncle Ming just messaged me, saying Grandma went into Adam’s room and seemed to be looking for something by his bedside.” The three people in the room all showed a stern expression, and on the other side of the video, Scarlett Jennings almost immediately thought of that dead doll dress. “It seems her next target is Adam.” Speaking of Adam, Scarlett finally remembered what she had forgotten. She had placed Amulets on everyone at home. Except for Adam... Well, it seems there was a reason Adam was chosen as the unlucky one. Scarlett Jennings didn’t want to admit she was being particular. She really just simply forgot about him. After finishing the call on this side, Donovan explained something else to Uncle Ming on the other side. Meanwhile, “Grandmother” couldn’t find that doll dress with Adam’s aura in Adam’s room and was preparing to ask Azura Loomis for clarification, when from the top of the stairs, Uncle Ming explained something to a maid. “Young Master Adam plans to prepare the room for a renovation. While no one is home in the next two days, try to pack everything in the room quickly.” The maid nodded upon hearing this, “Understood. I already packed some things a few days ago, and some old clutter was disposed of.” “Grandmother,” upon hearing this, guessed that the item Azura Loomis wanted must have been packed away. It wasn’t that she didn’t search carefully, but that Azura Loomis herself didn’t store it properly. “Grandmother” decided to go back and tell Azura Loomis about it. She couldn’t allow herself to be falsely accused. With that decision, “Grandmother” wheeled herself back to her room quickly, not noticing Uncle Ming’s peripheral glance from the stairs as he sighed quietly. As one of the previous participants in helping Miss Scarlett search for those “things,” Uncle Ming was already aware of Azura’s “true colors.” He just couldn’t understand how a child usually so gentle could do such terrible things. Moreover, when would the madame finally recognize Miss Azura’s true nature? But the eldest young master wouldn’t let him speak of it. Sigh. On the other side, Azura Loomis heard what “Grandmother” had to say and slightly furrowed her brows, “That item was hidden in the compartment by the bed. I even wrapped it specially. Such a hidden place, how could it have been casually packed away?” Azura was a little worried that the item had been discovered. Or how was it discovered? Grandmother thought she was going to stir up trouble, and quickly said loudly, “That’s what the maid said! Everything by the bedside and in the room was taken away! The doll dress you wanted must have been taken away too. It must be that you didn’t pack it well, now that it’s gone, you can’t blame me.” Hearing the voice of the madame from the other side gave Azura a headache. The doubts that had arisen in her mind were disrupted, and without further thought, she perfunctorily responded and ended the call. Feeling a bit irritated, she vented a couple of complaints to the System about the unreliability of these external Living Souls, and then headed to the doll room. Now that the doll dress was gone, she needed to choose a new doll for Adam to lock his aura. Fortunately, Adam was currently living at a boarding school. Placing something in his surroundings without his knowing shouldn’t be too difficult. Azura decided to make a trip back to the school tomorrow. She needed to meet her Brother Adam.
