Chapter 8: Not Even 30,000 Dollars in Pocket Money

Emma White and Isolde Garrison were asked to leave even before entering the Jennings Family villa, and the incident didn't cause any disturbance to the Jennings family members inside the villa.

Lucas, feeling humiliated by the earlier incident, decisively took Azura Loomis out of the villa, comforting her as they walked along the garden path,

"Azura, don't be sad. Brother Donovan is just biased. You even gave up your room and he still said those things. What's so great about just having found her?"

Azura sighed softly, "Lucas, I know you mean well, but don't say such things anymore. I'm not really a daughter of the Jennings family after all. Everything I have should belong to Scarlett. What Brother Donovan said isn't wrong…"

"What are you saying? In my heart, you are my only sister. That Scarlett Garrison, I don't acknowledge her at all!"

While they were talking, they suddenly heard Scarlett Garrison's voice,

"This sister-in-law has some karma affecting her, which might influence the house's geomancy. If dad pays, I can resolve it, just for thirty thousand."

Turning their heads, they saw Scarlett Garrison talking to Mrs. Wu, earnestly extending three fingers as she spoke.

Scarlett Garrison had originally stopped Mrs. Wu because of the negative energy surrounding her, now with unrelated people gone, it was time for serious matters.

Although back in the Jennings family, Scarlett Garrison had no habit of asking people for money. Now it was perfect; she could remove the negative energy and earn her college tuition in one go.

Even between parent and child, the accounts must be clear.

To the side, Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings also didn't expect her to change the topic so abruptly.

Since geomancy and metaphysics didn't seem to match Scarlett Garrison's style.

They just thought the child was short of money, using geomancy as an excuse to ask for some allowance.

They felt a bit sympathetic.

When had any Jennings kid ever lacked thirty thousand for pocket money?

Donovan Jennings swiftly took out his mobile phone intending to transfer the money, "Is thirty thousand enough? I'll send you a hundred thousand, if that's not enough, ask me again."

Luca Jennings, having been beaten to the punch by his son, solemnly also took out his phone, intending to transfer three hundred thousand, definitely more than his son.

But then he remembered he didn't have his daughter's contact details.

Scarlett Garrison understood from their conversation that they had misunderstood something.

"I'm serious."

"I know, I know," Donovan Jennings said smilingly, his tone full of indulgence.

Mrs. Wu, too, after the initial shock passed, cooperatively spoke, "If the young miss says I have karma, please help me resolve it."

Scarlett Garrison: ...

Can these adults respect my profession for once?

Even though this wasn't the first time Scarlett Garrison had encountered such a situation.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a sneer nearby.

"Such a low tactic to swindle money, and just for a mere thirty thousand."

Absolutely disgraceful.

Lucas truly couldn't hold back and spoke out; even though he had just been scolded earlier, he couldn't stand people like Scarlett Garrison.

Azura quickly followed, grabbing Lucas's arm with an embarrassed look,

"Little sister Scarlett, Lucas didn't mean to speak of you that way, don't blame him."

Scarlett Garrison glanced lightly over them and ignored them, instead focusing back on Mrs. Wu.

"Your Fate Palace shows a broken marriage line, you must have lost your husband early, but you have a son. From your face, I deduce your son is currently facing a tribulation related to money."

Scarlett Garrison wasn't very skilled at face reading, only providing a basic analysis.

But even with the basics, it obviously stunned Mrs. Wu.

Especially when the latter part about a financial tribulation was mentioned, a flash of panic crossed Mrs. Wu's eyes.

Scarlett Garrison continued, "Logically, your personal karma shouldn't affect the main family, but I see your fortune slightly connected with the Jennings family... you have stolen the Jennings family's fortune."

The last sentence, Scarlett Garrison spoke with great certainty.

Mrs. Wu's body suddenly trembled violently.

Impossible, she must be talking nonsense, how could she possibly know what I have done...

Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings originally listened as if it were a child's joke, but seeing her serious tone and hearing the mention of stealing, their expression slightly hardened.

Azura, seeing Mrs. Wu's reaction, looked somewhat surprised,

"You, you mean, Mrs. Wu stole money from the family?"

She seemed incredulous, then tried to explain for her, "It can't be, there must be some misunderstanding. Mrs. Wu has been with the Jennings family for nearly ten years; how could she do such a thing?"

Mrs. Wu, originally somewhat panicked, upon hearing Azura's words, immediately looked wronged and distressed,

"Young Miss, you can't just say things like this, how could I possibly steal money from the Jennings family? Everyone in this households who I am, I'm not that kind of person."

She said looking towards Lucas, "Young Master, you believe me, I couldn't possibly do such a thing, I…"

She spoke, then covered her face as if about to cry.

Lucas, still a young man and having been cared for by Mrs. Wu while growing up, seeing her so wronged immediately glared angrily at Scarlett Garrison, raising his voice,

"How can you accuse Mrs. Wu of stealing money? Today is your first day back at the Jennings family, what could you possibly know? You don't know anything and you're falsely accusing others, just to cheat Uncle out of a few ten thousand in pocket money, is it worth it for you?!"

In Lucas's eyes, Scarlett Garrison was just a stranger he met for the first time today, but Mrs. Wu had been with the family for ten years; in terms of closeness, he of course trusted Mrs. Wu more.

He felt even less fondness for Scarlett Garrison, this so-called cousin.

Azura, seeing this, also spoke up, "There must be some misunderstanding here, did Mrs. Wu do something to upset you?"

Her words hinted that Scarlett Garrison was using her power to take revenge on personal grievances.

Mrs. Wu, hearing this, as if given a cue, immediately began to sob,

"Young Miss, I know you are upset about Mrs. White mistaking me for your birth mother earlier. I'm lowly, how can I compare to someone like you, it's right for you to be angry, but you can't slander me like this, it's like asking for my life at my age!"
