Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Doing Her a Favor Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Doing Her a Favor “...I shouldn’t have hinted at Micah to cause trouble for you just because we share the same name...I initially just wanted to make a joke out of you, but I didn’t expect Micah would actually say he liked you...” “He used to always chase after me, and then suddenly he liked you. I just couldn’t accept it.” “When I invited you to the Heavenly Platform that day, I didn’t plan on doing anything to you. I just knew you were pregnant and wanted to scare you...I really didn’t know how you suddenly had a miscarriage...” “It really wasn’t me who killed you, boo hoo boo...” Isolde Garrison initially tried to paint her actions in a better light, but as she spoke, she noticed the chilling feeling on her body inexplicably returned. However, after revealing her true intentions, the cold feeling gradually subsided. Realizing that her words would go unheard by others, she decided to open up fully to Delilah Woods, the evil ghost, confessing all her thoughts and dark intentions to put her at ease. Scarlett Jennings stood beside her, listening expressionlessly. Although Scarlett had witnessed parts of Isolde’s conversation with Delilah in the Mirage Realm and felt the emotions from the vengeful infant and a part of Delilah’s soul, she couldn’t uncover the truth behind those emotions. After hearing Isolde’s “confession,” Scarlett wasn’t even surprised. Targeting an innocent girl just because of a shared name was indeed something Isolde would do. Once Isolde had said all she could, Scarlett raised her hand, and a small paper lantern magically flew back into her palm, which she then stored in a small bottle. Watching Scarlett’s actions, Isolde’s eyes still held some resentment. “This means Delilah’s ghost won’t come looking for me ever again, right?” Scarlett glanced at her, replying seriously yet dismissively, “Hmm, I promise.” After all, Delilah hadn’t died. Even without today’s events, Delilah’s “ghost” couldn’t have come after her again. “You also need to ensure I won’t keep having this bad luck!” Though she hadn’t thought much of it following the earlier car accident, first her legs were fractured in the crash, then her bed inexplicably broke, twisting her waist, not to mention the countless cramps in her neck and choking episodes while eating and drinking during this time. Even as confused as Isolde was, she knew she had somehow attracted misfortune. Perhaps it was Delilah’s ghost causing it too! Scarlett replied, “I can’t guarantee that, because your current misfortune stems from the calamities in your Fate Chart, which have nothing to do with Delilah.” If there were any connection, it was merely the grievance from the vengeful infant clinging to her, making her more susceptible to calamities. Isolde’s face suddenly changed when Scarlett mentioned her Fate Chart, immediately raising her voice, “Even if it is a Fate Chart issue, you have to solve it! Don’t forget you took my money!” Although the five million wasn’t transferred by her personally. That didn’t stop Isolde from feeling justified in her demands. The Garrison Family outside heard the noise and re-entered, with Isolde crying and complaining that Scarlett took the money but refused to help. Emma White was the first to protest, “You took five million and think dealing with a single evil ghost is enough?! No way! You must also address Isolde’s Fate Chart problems, as you had previously promised. Are you planning to deny it after taking the bracelet?!” Timothy Garrison’s face was grim, as if he would not let Scarlett leave if she dared to say she wouldn’t address the issue. Scarlett merely smirked at this, “You Garrison Family have plotted for eighteen years without success. Now you think spending five million plus a bracelet will solve everything at once. How could things be so easy? It’s not that I can’t do it, even if I could, why should I help her?” “She’s your sister!” Josiah Garrison said solemnly, still trying to appeal to her with sibling ties. Scarlett sincerely thought the Garrison Family must have something wrong in their heads. Especially Josiah. “For the last time, I have nothing to do with the Garrison Family, so stop trying to nauseate me with the whole sister thing.” With that, she looked at Timothy Garrison, “I initially agreed to solve her eighteenth birthday’s great disaster. Your daughter bullied others and ruined the life of a girl who should have had a good future, causing this calamity today. Now her life is no longer threatened, and just having her remain here is already letting her off easy.” “I’ve resolved the issue with Delilah Woods. If you want to handle her Fate Chart problem, find someone else.” As Scarlett said this, she started to leave but halted after a step, as if she remembered something, looked back at the four Garrison Family members inside, “One more piece of advice: Isolde’s failure with the Fate Chart conversion has led to a backlash, affecting everyone close to her.” When she said this, her gaze lingered over the bandaged areas on the other three in the room, causing Timothy Garrison and others to suddenly change their expressions. Before they could speak, Scarlett added, “Bearing in mind you’ve spent five million, I have one more piece of free advice. Do you remember the Jade Token I sent you before?” It was quite amusing that when she first learned Mystical Technique from her master, she hadn’t given up on the Garrison Family. So the moment she learned to carve the Protective Jade Token, she gifted them, except for Josiah, to the Garrison father, mother, and even Isolde. And as far as she knew, both Isolde and Emma had long discarded those items. However, because they had discarded them, she felt the need to remind them. “It’s a Protective Jade Token I carved by hand, capable of warding off calamities and misfortune. If you don’t want to continue bumping your heads against things with bruises every day, just wear it.” She had sent them because she wanted to then, now that she couldn’t take them back, she at least wanted some remuneration. That five million counts as payment, including those four Jade Tokens. Scarlett said it lightly, while Josiah Garrison’s expression abruptly changed. He finally understood why Scarlett had mentioned the Jade Token multiple times! He hadn’t expected it to be protective! Looking at his still plastered arm, Josiah Garrison regretted it immensely at that moment. If only he had gone back to find it properly after she first mentioned it, perhaps he wouldn’t have kept suffering these last few days. At this moment, the Garrison Family had no doubts about Scarlett saying Isolde’s misfortune causing everything to go wrong around them. Both Timothy Garrison and Josiah decided to go back and thoroughly search for where they had placed those tokens. But they didn’t notice that both Emma and Isolde’s expressions were peculiar and full of regret. Emma was so angry she stamped her foot, “That dead girl must have known I’d already thrown away that useless stone she gave us!” Isolde gritted her teeth, but due to her persona, she only murmured softly, “I, I don’t remember where I put it. Scarlett gave so many gifts, I’m afraid I can’t find them, dad, what should we do?” Isolde looked pitiable, unwilling to live another second of such misfortune and car accidents. Timothy appeared grave, while Emma was already comforting, “No worries, your dad and brother’s Jade Tokens are still around. We can use theirs.” She spoke with certainty, oblivious to Timothy and Josiah’s instantly darkened expressions. If they used their Jade Tokens for them, What would they do for themselves? Josiah had never understood his mother’s bias so clearly until now. Scarlett Jennings: That was precisely the desired outcome.
