Scarlett Jennings added a special tracking sensor to the Anti-backstabbing Talisman for Luca Jennings.
Once the Talisman Paper was activated, Scarlett Jennings would know immediately.
It just so happened that the next seeker of help was still in the midst of drawing lots, so Scarlett Jennings stood up to temporarily leave the camera and called Luca Jennings.
Although she believed her father could handle it, being entangled by both rotten luck in romance and scheming people at once, Scarlett Jennings still felt uneasy.
Luca Jennings answered the phone quickly. While the man on the other end tried to restrain himself, Scarlett Jennings could still detect an even colder and more stern tone than usual.
"Dad, the Anti-backstabbing Talisman I gave you has been activated. Are you encountering any trouble over there?"
When Luca Jennings heard this, he subconsciously touched the inside pocket of his suit and thought about how his daughter’s Talisman had just blocked a backstabber’s scheme for him, his originally icy expression softened slightly.
"There’s a bit of a minor issue, but Dad will handle it. You focus on filming your show."
Luca Jennings may have spoken lightly, but Scarlett Jennings had an intuition that it couldn’t be just a minor issue.
Ever since she returned to the Jennings Family, she had noticed that, perhaps due to the Family’s accumulated Fortune over many years, the Jiang Family members had stronger Fortune than ordinary people.
Especially Luca Jennings, as the current Family Head, his Fortune was even stronger than the others. Ordinary schemers couldn’t plot against him.
If someone really managed to plot against him and yet got rebuffed by the Talisman Paper, then it was certainly not just a minor problem.
With this thought, Scarlett Jennings straightforwardly said,
"Where are you? I’ll come to find you."
The moment her words fell, an instantly rejecting voice came from the other end of the phone, "No need!"
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t tell if it was her illusion, but Luca Jennings sounded obviously rushed and even somewhat panicky when he said this.
Thinking about how calm a person Luca Jennings usually was, Scarlett Jennings grew even more cautious. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
It seemed that the ’minor issue’ Dad was facing wasn’t so minor after all.
Luca Jennings also realized his response was a bit excessive and tempered his tone, adding,
"I can handle things here. Don’t come over. Just do your live broadcast well, and I’ll pick you up after you finish."
Scarlett Jennings could hear his refusal and didn’t insist.
However, upon hanging up the phone, she directly asked Director Clark for a leave.
Even if Luca Jennings didn’t tell her his exact location, she could track it through the aura of the Talisman Paper.
The more he tried to stop her, the more she had to see for herself what sort of ghosts or monsters these so-called rotten luck in romance and schemers were.
...
On the other end, outside a hotel private room.
After Luca Jennings hung up the phone, his momentary softening was retracted instantly, replaced by an overwhelmingly cold and stern chill.
Walking back from the corridor into the private room, Assistant Lin was still maintaining his original posture behind the door.
Inside the private room, it was a total mess at the moment.
Odessa was wearing a breezy floral camisole dress, casually draped with a jacket over her bare shoulders, and currently sitting disheveled on the carpet, trembling.
And sitting opposite her on the couch was a man surrounded by a gloomy aura.
That man was none other than Michael Jennings, who had flown in early in the morning out of concern for his wife’s injuries.
Luca Jennings’s gaze coldly swept over Odessa on the floor, a clear disgust flashing in his eyes, but he quickly looked away and then turned to look at the gloomy-faced Michael Jennings on the couch.
After a while, he spoke in a cold voice,
"Decide what to do about today’s incident."
If it weren’t for considering that Michael Jennings was his younger brother, at the very moment the incident occurred, he would have dealt with Odessa silently and without a trace.
