Chapter 15 Riding on the Coattails of a Big Shot's Golden Light

Scarlett Garrison hurried downstairs and upon reaching the bottom, she saw a snowy white figure swiftly leap to her feet and then skillfully climb up her leg to her arms.

The butlers and bodyguards who were following the little fox stopped in their tracks upon seeing this.

At the same time, other members of the Jennings Family also caught sight of the little fox tucked in Scarlett Garrison's arms.

"Scarlett, did you bring this fox over?" Odessa was the first to react, her face full of surprise, "This is a fox, and there are children at home, what if someone gets bitten?"

"It was her, I said last night that they are not allowed in, but she just wouldn't listen!" Lucas Jennings had also come downstairs after hearing the commotion, and he became immediately irate upon hearing this.

"This is the fox I raised, but it doesn't bite people randomly," Scarlett Garrison held the little fox in her arms, her tone firm.

"Foxes are wild and hard to tame; can you guarantee it won't hurt anyone?"

A boy of similar age to Scarlett Garrison spoke up, that was Adam Jennings from the second branch of the family, his gaze cold, clearly not very welcoming of Scarlett Garrison's return.

Lucas Jennings immediately agreed, "Exactly! Exactly!"

Perhaps sensing the repeated targeting by Lucas Jennings, the little fox lifted its head buried in Scarlett Garrison's embrace and snarled at him with a fierce baring of its teeth.

Lucas Jennings instantly stepped back, pointing at the fox and yelling, "Look at it! Look at it!"

Then another scared, tender voice cried out, "Mom! I'm scared! Please send it away! Send it away!"

That was the youngest daughter of the second branch, Ismeria Jennings, only six and a half years old, now frightfully clinging to Odessa's leg behind her.

When Donovan Jennings entered, he saw this scene: Scarlett Garrison standing at the stair entrance holding the fox, surrounded by a group of people, appearing as if a criticism meeting was being held.

With a habitual chilly smile at the corners of his mouth, Donovan Jennings stepped forward and simply said, "The fox is kept with my permission, if you have any objections you can discuss them with me."

Hearing that it was Donovan Jennings who had allowed it, several of his cousins were incredulous.

Azura Loomis stepped forward upon hearing this, her tone gentle, "Cousin, we don't mean to target Scarlett, it's just that the fox's arrival was rather sudden, and also about grandma..."

She hesitated, but everyone knew what she meant.

Grandma Jennings didn't like furry pets, and such animals had always been banned from the house; the old lady was in poor health, and family members generally did not dare to contradict her. She was currently holidaying at a resort in the mountains, and what if she came back and saw a fox in the house? Would that not make her ill from anger?

Azura Loomis was indirectly reminding Donovan Jennings that not everything could be decided for his sister.

Donovan Jennings's peach blossom eyes just swept lightly across Azura Loomis, and he responded with a slight smile, "I'll talk to grandma about it."

Although he was smiling, his tone was indisputable.

He then turned around and instructed the people behind him.

"Build the pet house in the east garden there, and set up a shed too."

The people only then noticed that behind Donovan Jennings were two workers carrying boxes of wood, appearing as if everything for the fox's dwelling had already been prepared.

Although Scarlett Garrison had been reassured by Donovan Jennings last night, she did not expect that early this morning, he had already prepared the nest for the little fox.

Holding Pretty Hamilton's arm, Scarlett Garrison tightened her grip slightly and abandoned her initial plan of sending Pretty back to the rental house.

With someone to protect and support her, there was no way she would lag behind.

That wouldn't be considerate.

With the suppression of Donovan Jennings's status, Lucas and a few others did not dare to object further to Scarlett Garrison keeping the fox; they were just waiting for Grandma Jennings to return, and then they would see how Donovan Jennings could still protect Scarlett Garrison.

Unaware of their thoughts, Scarlett Garrison carried Pretty Hamilton upstairs, changed clothes, had breakfast, and then carefully groomed the little fox, ensuring every strand of fur was smooth and shiny before she was satisfied to carry the cub and leave the house.

Because of waking up late, it was already half-past ten when Scarlett Garrison left the house. Thinking of the time, she guessed Samuel Chalmers might have already gone to the company, but after last night's commotion, Scarlett Garrison still decided to first visit to apologize.

Unexpectedly, Samuel Chalmers was actually at home.

Dressed in a suit from head to toe, impeccably neat, clearly ready to go to work, he sat there casually, his body emanating a golden glow that seemed to cloak him in a layer of gold, still dazzling and eye-catching.

Scarlett Garrison blinked and adjusted a bit before moving forward, holding the little fox,

"Is Mr. Chalmers at home?"

Samuel Chalmers watched her wink at him, his dark pupils slightly deepening, maintaining an emotionless cold demeanor. His thin lips parted slightly, merely saying, "You said you would come early in the morning."

Hearing this, Scarlett Garrison was taken aback. Was the boss waiting at home because she said she would come to apologize?

Can it be?

Isn't every minute of the boss's time worth millions?

So… idle?

Scarlett Garrison's focus was on visiting, but she didn't realize that Samuel Chalmers' focus was on her saying "early in the morning."

One of Great Demon Chalmers' obsessions is to keep his word; she said she would come early, and he took it seriously, so he waited.

He just didn't expect that her "early in the morning" actually meant 10:30 a.m.

"I'm really sorry about last night. My fox caused you trouble. This is a peace charm I carved myself as an apology."

Scarlett Garrison handed over a Blessing Bag containing a Jade Token she had hand-carved, with runes that attract fortune on the back.

Considering that Samuel Chalmers, being surrounded by a Golden Light, doesn't even need the best talismans for warding off evil, she chose this one.

Especially since the Jade Token was made from spirit-power-infused fine jade, its effect was purer. This was also to get on good terms with the Golden Light boss in advance, perhaps even to have a chance to benefit from his Golden Light.

Samuel Chalmers took the Blessing Bag but did not open it immediately. He gestured for the butler to keep it properly as if accepting Scarlett Garrison's "apology."

Seeing this, Scarlett Garrison couldn't help but remind, "The peace charm needs to be carried with you to be effective."

Samuel Chalmers' hand to the butler paused slightly, and with a wave, he stuffed the Blessing Bag into his suit pocket.

This brought a satisfactory smile to Scarlett.

Seeing that the "apology" process was over, Samuel Chalmers didn't stay any longer, preparing to leave.

Noticing this, Scarlett Garrison followed, holding the little fox.

Taking advantage of the moment they stood side by side, she stealthily stretched out her hand, making a scooping motion in his surrounding Golden Light, and the next second, two golden specks were caught in her hand.

Scarlett Garrison's eyes slightly widened.

She actually managed to touch it!

"What are you doing?" Samuel Chalmers spoke coldly, obviously noticing her recent sneaky move.

Scarlett Garrison, caught red-handed, remained calm and randomly made an excuse, "Could you give me a lift on your way out? I need to go out myself."

Samuel Chalmers looked at her suspiciously, then suddenly remembered the peace charm she had given.

One peace charm, both as an apology and for a ride, one charm serving two purposes, quite convenient for her.

Thinking this, his expression remained unchanged, barely nodding his head.

Scarlett Garrison then got into the car with the little fox.

Seeing Samuel Chalmers' gaze fall on the fox in her arms, his deep and dark eyes seeming to scrutinize, she hurriedly explained, "After bringing it home last night, I gave it a bath; it's clean."

Samuel Chalmers pursed his lips, only asking her, "Where to?"

Scarlett's eyes shifted, replying, "To the Silva Family."

She was going to earn some extra money.
