Chase Jennings wanted to strangle this unlucky younger brother.
Blaise Jennings also wanted to strangle him.
After all, as the real brother, saying he had it coming was just too much.
However...
The youngest son, though reckless, indeed had a point.
He had just spoken, implying that he was using his status as an elder to get Scarlett to help.
This indeed amounted to a sort of moral coercion to some extent.
Blaise Jennings reflected on himself, and at this moment, Luca Jennings spoke timely,
"Lucas is right, Blaise, Chase has grown up. If he has issues, he won’t speak up; are you telling me you, as a father, should speak on his behalf?"
As Luca said this, his eyes heavily swept toward Chase.
The Jennings Family’s children could be foolish or incompetent, but they must not lack responsibility.
Chase was affected by his uncle’s gaze, and then noticed his own father seemingly agreeing that his brother had a point.
The feelings in the bottom of his heart were truly mixed.
He did not want to ask Scarlett Jennings for help.
He had looked down on Scarlett in the past, and even after he came to know of her actual capabilities, he never intended to reconcile with her.
It wasn’t that he truly detested this cousin.
It was just that,
Azura had already been wronged enough because of Scarlett’s arrival; his uncle and Brother Donovan were biased toward her, Grandpa too, and even Lucas began to follow Scarlett around, calling her ’sister’.
If even he started to reconcile with Scarlett, it would be too pitiable for Azura.
He could not betray Azura.
However, Scarlett had mentioned his dwindling fortune, coupled with his sorry appearance.
He wasn’t sure whether this situation could affect the people around him.
No, perhaps it had already had an effect.
The thirty million he lost was the Jennings Family’s thirty million.
If left unattended, could it lead to even greater losses in the future?
Chase’s pride would not allow him to be seen as a failure in others’ eyes.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chase took a deep breath and ultimately spoke,
"I don’t need her help, there are so many powerful people in the Mystical Sect. Even if I have truly been struck by misfortune, I can resolve it by finding those people."
Chase spoke earnestly, his eyebrows and eyes filled with an uncompromising stubbornness.
This surprise and disbelief filled Blaise’s eyes.
Then, without any hesitation, he pounced and smacked his forehead in the same manner as he had done to Lucas before.
"Are you a cartwheel reincarnated to be so stubborn!"
Not seeking help from one’s own family, but instead looking to those outsiders whose nature—whether divine or ghostly—is unknown.
If he truly acknowledged his mistake and asked for help, Blaise did not believe that his niece would just ignore it.
Although the grandniece appeared cold on the surface, by observing her attitude towards Lucas, it was clear that she was not petty.
Her acceptance of such an annoying younger son before led him to believe that his elder son would also be acceptable.
Chase was caught off guard by the slap from his own father and couldn’t help staggering to the side.
Possibly choked by his saliva, he suddenly bent over, coughing violently as if he were about to hack out his lungs, his face instantly turning purple-red.
The Jiang Family were all terrified, even Lucas, who had just said that Chase got what he deserved, showed a panicking expression.
Only Scarlett spoke unhurriedly,
"Don’t worry, he just choked on saliva."
Saying so, she slowly added, "Unlucky people are always like this."
