Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Determined Not to Let Me Go Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Determined Not to Let Me Go Children raised in affluent families were skilled in languages and piano from a young age, even at just eight. Though Andrea Silva had the mental age of an eight-year-old, playing a smooth piano piece was no problem for her. When the piano melody started in the banquet hall, it suddenly dawned on everyone that this little girl from the Silva Family was no longer the oblivious and foolish child she once was. While her eyebrows and eyes still held a hint of childlike innocence, she was indeed no longer foolish. As the piece concluded, the little girl courteously lifted her dress and curtsied to the guests before happily bouncing over to Scarlett Jennings, looking lively like a little butterfly, “Sister, did I play well?” Scarlett Jennings was relatively lenient with children and nodded at Andrea’s words, offering praise, “Not bad.” Only two notes were wrong. However, for a girl who just recovered, rediscovering something she learned eight years ago was commendable. She wasn’t a perfectionist and didn’t demand such details. Seeing their interaction, the guests around seemed to awaken from a dream, and for the first time, truly realized that the rumor about Scarlett Jennings curing Andrea Silva was true! For a moment, the guests around directed their enthusiastic gazes at Scarlett Jennings. It seemed the Jennings Family was destined to produce an extraordinary figure. Azura Loomis hadn’t even made a fuss over Andrea Silva before the Silva family eagerly acknowledged Scarlett Jennings. One couldn’t help but wonder about this pair, the Silva Family’s parents rushing to flatter an eighteen-year-old girl, unafraid of others finding them laughable. Nevertheless, those who had previously made snide remarks about the matter were now silent. Scarlett Jennings, who had hoped someone would stand up for her, chose to ignore those who made snide remarks, finding the occasion somewhat dull. Perhaps when she had mentioned perfectionists, it prompted someone important, as Scarlett felt her phone vibrate in her handbag. Sure enough, it was Samuel Chalmers. Though they had added each other as friends last time, their communication amounted to just two sentences. [Scarlett Jennings: Samuel, what time are you coming back tonight?] [Golden Light: On a business trip, back tomorrow.] [Scarlett Jennings: Great, I can paint all night.] Scarlett Jennings wondered why the big shot would suddenly message her, only to find it was a photo. A chubby little fox was being held by one arm, its grape-sized eyes still gazing longingly at someone glowing with a golden light. Accompanied by the succinct message from the big shot: Come to pick up. Scarlett Jennings: ... Her own fox escaped again! Without hesitation, Scarlett made an excuse and left, heading directly towards the Chalmers Villa. Just as she stepped out of the hall, an unexpected voice came from beside her. “Scarlett.” She turned and saw Lydia Patterson standing a short distance away, holding a bag. His elegant attire marked him as attending the mentorship appreciation banquet. “If you’re here for the banquet, just head inside.” Although she had cleared things up with him, Scarlett saw no reason to deny him entry to the Jennings Family banquet. After all, she wasn’t the sole focus of the mentorship appreciation banquet today. Having said that, Scarlett was about to continue walking when she heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind, turning to see Lydia following her, explaining as he came, “I specifically came to see you.” Scarlett raised an eyebrow in his direction but said nothing. Lydia, this time, didn’t look at her with the “just admit you like me” expression, his demeanor more sincere. When Scarlett looked at him, he showed a trace of awkwardness, “Thank you for letting me see my grandmother. I misunderstood before.” Scarlett nodded at him. The implication being, as long as you understand. Just when Scarlett thought she had finally shrugged off Lydia’s nuisance, he added, “I know you never liked me, but maybe I really have fallen for you. Don’t worry, I’ve completely broken up with Isolde Garrison. Now it’s my turn to pursue you wholeheartedly...” Scarlett Jennings: ... It was her problem. She had overestimated Lydia’s intelligence. This man seemed incapable of understanding a word she said. “I thought after I explained everything clearly, you’d keep your distance from me or even pretend we never knew each other, but here you are, saying these sickening words. It seems you’ve made up your mind not to let me go.” Scarlett looked at Lydia with an expressionless face, her tone laced with a hint of coldness. Lydia frowned slightly, thinking she was exaggerating, He merely liked her and wanted to pursue her. How did it reach the point of not letting her go? Disregarding everything before, did that mean he wasn’t even allowed to pursue someone normally? Lydia thought she misunderstood his intentions. “Scarlett, I’m not trying to pester you, but can’t you even allow me the opportunity to pursue you?” His tone held a tinge of helplessness, making his stance seem very humble. But Scarlett Jennings’s patience for this man was clearly exhausted. “I dislike repeating myself to people.” Scarlett spoke, suddenly pulling a small, thumb-sized gray talisman from her handbag, unlike her usual Yellow Talisman. Pinched between two of her slender, alabaster fingers, the small talisman moved glided delicately, her fingers looking inexplicably elegant. Unreasonably, Lydia felt a bit panicky. Scarlett’s almond eyes flitted indifferent glances over his face, her voice neither warm nor cold, “Since you’ve set your mind on this, knowing my rejection won’t reach you, perhaps it’s time you experienced it for yourself.” Once she said that, her arm flung upward, catapulting the little talisman toward Lydia’s face. Lydia flinched in fear. Having seen her effortlessly summon a soul before, he instinctively raised his arms to shield his head. Yet the miniature talisman vanished into thin air as it neared him. Lydia froze, unprepared, as Scarlett slipped past him and walked out the Jennings Family’s doors. Lydia instinctively checked himself over, scanning for changes, then surveyed the area for anything odd before he exhaled a hefty sigh. It seemed Scarlett had just been trying to spook him. He knew she wouldn’t act recklessly against him. He chuckled softly, a smile that mingled resignation and indulgence. Not far from the exiting door, Scarlett Jennings felt a chill shudder down her spine, goosebumps rising unexpectedly. As she mused, she noticed intense golden light to her side. Turning, she saw Samuel Chalmers standing there, a well-behaved chubby fox squatting by his feet. One person, one fox, both looking at her intently. Scarlett blinked, her first thought being— Did the big shot see everything earlier?
