Chapter 10 Losing Millions is Considered Misfortune?

As the eldest brother among the Jennings Family juniors, Donovan Jennings always wore a smile on his face, yet no one dared disobey him.

At times, he was even more influential than the parents in each family.

Just like now, Lucas Jennings quickly clammed up after receiving a warning glance from Donovan Jennings.

Azura Loomis glanced at Donovan and silently looked down, her expression hidden.

Mrs. Weaver was soon taken away by the villa's guards, but handling this matter wasn't going to be easy.

On the surface, Mrs. Weaver hadn't stolen anything from the Jennings Family, so calling the police was not an option.

At most, she was guilty of superstitious practices.

After all, there was no real-world evidence for stealing fortune.

However, with such an incident occurring, Mrs. Weaver could definitely not remain in the Jennings Family.

"Miss, how should these things be dealt with?" the butler asked Scarlett Garrison, who was nearby. Regardless of how she knew things were buried here, it was clear this newly returned young lady had some skills.

"Just burn them."

Scarlett spoke, then took out her phone and casually operated on it. Out of the corner of his eye, Donovan saw her transfer five thousand out of the ten thousand he just gave her to another account.

Donovan raised an eyebrow but didn't inquire further.

Once given, it was hers to spend as she wished.

In the villa's large study, the butler reported the commotion in the downstairs garden to Old Sir Jiang.

"...Lucius found some stuff in the flower garden, which should be what Miss mentioned was stealing fortune from the Jennings Family."

Old Sir Jiang was a bit surprised, "That child actually knows about these things?"

The butler pondered for a moment, "It might be just a coincidence."

He said, "The surveillance shows that the items were buried a month ago. According to Miss's words, the Jennings Family should have already lost some fortune, but when I later asked President Jiang, neither the company nor the household has suffered financial losses recently."

This meant Mrs. Weaver's buried items had no effect, casting doubt on the credibility of Scarlett's claims.

Old Sir Jiang listened thoughtfully, then chuckled, "Seems like just a child's little hobby, but as long as it's harmless, we can let it be."

As for Mrs. Weaver, despite her failure, since she had bad intentions, she naturally couldn't stay in the Jennings Family.

Upon hearing there was no financial loss in the Jennings Family, Scarlett's first reaction was disbelief.

"Impossible."

Even if it was just a slight amount, Mrs. Weaver did indeed manage to steal some fortune from the Jennings Family.

That mere thread of fortune was enough to make the Weaver Family come into unexpected wealth.

Scarlett was quite sure of this.

Lucas Jennings initially pondered whether he had been too judgmental when she correctly pointed out Mrs. Weaver's actions. But upon hearing this, he suddenly laughed,

"I said someone was bluffing. Stealing fortune? Never even heard of it!"

Scarlett glanced at him, her expression clearly saying "Don't mess with me, you brat."

She then turned to Donovan, "Have someone check the accounts of Mrs. Weaver and her son over the past month."

Donovan, being curious about his sister's abilities, didn't mind the hassle. He made a call, and soon an investigation result came through.

Upon seeing the result, Donovan's expression turned subtly complicated for a moment.

Both Lucas Jennings and Azura Loomis were very curious and leaned closer to know the answer.

Then Donovan quietly put away his phone and looked at Scarlett, "The Weaver Family indeed recently came into some money, winning a five hundred thousand lottery."

Scarlett immediately had a "look at that" expression.

She knew she hadn't been mistaken.

"Fortune is a balance; getting five hundred thousand there means the Jennings Family must have correspondingly lost millions."

Scarlett spoke earnestly, but Donovan was left speechless.

"Last week, the branch office project had some issues and did indeed lose a few million."

But he wasn't concerned about that amount of money, let alone Luca Jennings, who was the president.

"When you mentioned financial loss earlier, I thought at least a few billion would have been lost, but it turned out to be just a few million."

Donovan had a look as if saying, "It's not that I didn't remember, but you misled me with your wording."

Scarlett: …

So it wasn't that fortune hadn't been drawn away, but that the amount was just a tiny fraction for the Jennings Family.

Losses so insignificant that they didn't even notice.

Tsk, the evil rich.

Even now, being part of the Jennings Family, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

"A few months ago, Mrs. Weaver's son gambled away all their savings and was arrested for drunk driving fatalities, leading to a demand for a two million compensation for a letter of forgiveness. Mrs. Weaver probably conceived the idea of stealing Jennings' fortune because of this."

Mrs. Weaver's deeds were uncovered and voluntarily confessed. Donovan had the reason behind it investigated within an hour.

Scarlett learned about the drunk driving incident resulting in a death and instinctively linked it to the yin energy attached to Mrs. Weaver.

In just an instant, she noticed something was wrong.

If Mrs. Weaver's son killed someone in the car accident, Mrs. Weaver, at most, should have been indirectly affected. But the lingering yin energy felt directly attached to her.

She thought for a bit and asked Donovan, "Can I see a photo of Mrs. Weaver's son?"

Donovan was pleased that Scarlett had quickly embraced her identity as his sister and knew to seek help from her brother, and promptly sent a message to get Mrs. Weaver's son's photo.

On seeing the photo on the mobile phone, Scarlett frowned after just one glance at Mrs. Weaver's son.

"No, this person shouldn't have this facial feature."

She said, then asked for the birth date and eight characters and pulled three Ancient coins from her waist mini-bag to do divination on the spot.

Off to the side, Lucas looked on with disdain and silently sneered,

"Ha! Acting all mysterious and it never ends."

Scarlett ignored him and swiftly completed her divination, her delicate face growing more serious.

Lucas, seeking attention again, asked sarcastically, "So, what did you find out? Gonna tell us about some bloody disaster?"

He had seen those fortune tellers under the bridge like to say things like that.

He still didn't believe Scarlett had any real skills.

Scarlett ignored him and told Donovan, "According to his eight characters, he was meant to be born with a simple mind. In the Buddha Sect, there are Eight Wisdom, if a person was heavily sinful in the past life and wanted to be reborn as a human, one of their wisdom could be stripped, making them naturally simple-minded. But this person now has all Eight Wisdom, which means Mrs. Weaver must have used other methods to make him normal."

But perhaps unbeknownst to her, if someone evil in past life becomes simple this life, it's fine; restoring their intellect means defying fate, reducing lifespan, and potentially turning into a villain.

Mrs. Weaver's son had a penchant for gambling and committed murder in drunk driving, evidently the malefic result of restored intelligence.

Scarlett was in the living room, and she didn't deliberately speak in private. An auntie nearby was eavesdropping, and upon hearing this, she clearly had something to say but was cautious of her status, not daring to speak freely.
