Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Business Tycoons Also Post on Moments Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Business Tycoons Also Post on Moments Characters who usually only appear in financial magazines or on lists of wealthy personalities, no matter how formally they dress every day, can change their attire to look youthful just at the suggestion of Scarlett Jennings. Even if people on the street glanced at him a few times, he did not feel awkward. Instead, he reflected on the past as he looked at the two children beside him, recalling the times when he imagined taking his wife and two children shopping and on spring outings after Scarlett was born. Now, such a vision was three-fourths complete. He didn’t know when the remaining quarter would reunite with them. Thinking of his wife brought a trace of depth and solitude to Luca Jennings’s eyes, yet his face didn’t reveal any emotions. The three of them spent the afternoon shopping and then visited the mall’s arcade, as if trying to make up for Scarlett’s lost childhood. Scarlett Jennings remarked, “...” A bit tired. More exhausting than drawing twenty talismans in one go. However, there was a slight feeling of gratitude and affection. After dinner, seeing the night view and getting ready to return home, Luca Jennings suddenly stopped in front of a photo studio. “We haven’t taken a photo since Scarlett came back home.” Luca Jennings’s voice was slightly softer, showing a hint of longing that was uncharacteristic compared to his usual composure. Upon hearing this, Donovan Jennings smiled and looked at Scarlett, their eyes meeting without a word of refusal. Spending the day together seemed to give Scarlett a different perspective on her identity within the Jennings Family. Taking photos required an appointment, but this was no problem for Donovan Jennings. Donovan promptly hired a photographer from a private studio, and the three of them took a family photo. At the moment the photo was captured, Scarlett faintly saw the fine line connecting her and the Jennings Family become more substantial. She understood what it represented but no longer resisted it. After the photos were taken, Donovan asked the photographer to work overtime to retouch them. Thus, while Lucas Jennings was lazily scrolling through his phone in the living room that evening, he unexpectedly came across two posts on his social media feed. One was from his uncle, Luca Jennings. This business tycoon, who rarely shared anything personal, had posted a private photo. The accompanying image was a photo of the three of them. There were no words, but it spoke volumes. The other post was from Donovan Jennings. His content was much livelier than Luca’s. In addition to the formal family photo Luca shared, he included a collage of the three of them shopping and drinking milk tea earlier today. Along with the caption, “[Father insisted on taking me and my sister shopping!]” Although Scarlett Jennings didn’t post anything herself, she dutifully liked both their posts in sequence. In just one glance, Lucas Jennings became envious and jumped up from the sofa, “My dad! My sister went shopping, and she didn’t even take me!!” He suddenly exclaimed, startling his father, who had just returned home from overtime, prompting him to ask instinctively, “Which sister?” Lucas Jennings was still annoyed, “Which sister? My real cousin! Scarlett!” As he spoke, he started snapping and sharing screenshots in the family group chat. Except for a few younger members, most of the Jennings Family didn’t check social media often and naturally wouldn’t keep up. At that moment, looking at Lucas Jennings’s screenshots, several family members fell into temporary silence. Not to mention the younger ones, even the two brothers Blaise and Michael Jennings were at a loss for words. Their usually imposing older brother was actually out shopping with the kids. Shopping aside, he even drank milk tea! An old-school guy who barely drank coffee and loved tea was drinking milk tea! Dressed like a young man. The two elder brothers of the Jennings Family felt like they possibly didn’t know their older brother very well. It’s not just them; even the younger members of the Jennings Family looked incredulous. But before Luca’s sudden amiability, Adam Jennings was quicker to notice something else, pointing at Lucas Jennings, “You can see Scarlett Jennings’s likes; you added her as a friend!” Azura Loomis’s gaze was fixed on the family of three in the photo, and hearing this, she turned her eyes towards Lucas Jennings. That look was obscure, with a hint of reproach. Facing her stare, Lucas Jennings felt inexplicably annoyed but didn’t want to talk to her, so he turned to Adam Jennings, “I already added her as a friend, she’s my sister, am I not allowed?” Adam remembered Lucas sending her money before for talismans, and now looked at Lucas as though he had betrayed them. But there was a hint of dissatisfaction. Why had Scarlett Jennings only added Lucas and not them, her brothers? Did she think less of them? Lucas Jennings’s mother, Flora Xalvadora, didn’t pay attention to the children’s squabbles, instead smiling, “It’s rare for Uncle to be in such a good mood. It’s nice to see them spending time as a family.” She and Blaise were both busy and seldom took Lucas and Chase out for shopping or fun. Seeing Lucas staring enviously at his phone, she felt slightly guilty towards this child. Beside her, Odessa didn’t speak; her beautiful eyes were fixed on the family of three in the photo, with strands of her long hair falling to obscure the cold madness in her gaze. A single photo, and each member of the Jennings Family reacted differently. But none of this mattered to Scarlett Jennings. As it wasn’t too late when they got home, Scarlett Jennings, mindful of the young ghost in her backpack, decided to send it away that night. For the Reincarnation of Shadow Spirits, the Buddhist teachings focus on transcendence, something not favored in Taoism, so Scarlett usually invited a Ghost Messenger to escort them. Going to the garden behind the flower house, she calculated the hour and took out an invitation talisman. First, she swept the talisman over the little spirit, confirming the presence of shadow energy, Then, with the shadow talisman between her fingers and accompanied by Taoist incantations, she threw it casually, letting it soar upward. Yet, before the talisman could burn, the little spirit, usually so compliant and docile, suddenly lit up, ignoring Scarlett and swiftly darting off in a certain direction. Scarlett Jennings: ... What was with this familiar maneuver? She had a vague feeling that something wasn’t right. Sure enough, just as Scarlett followed the little spirit outside the Jennings Family villa, she saw a Maybach, radiating golden light from the back seat, cruising by in the distance. Inside the car, Samuel Chalmers was casually scrolling through his phone when he came upon Donovan Jennings’s somewhat boasting social media post. Curiously, he opened it, absentmindedly swiping through, but his dark eyes suddenly paused on a particular spot in the photo. His brow twitched as he intended to examine it further, yet he sensed something swiftly approaching him. Samuel Chalmers felt a slight chill and instinctively glanced in the direction of the sensation. In the air, a familiar little ginseng doll was flying towards him, effortlessly squeezing through the half-open window. With a thump, it landed directly into his palm. Samuel Chalmers: ...
