Luca Jennings originally had a sullen face because of Odessa’s words, having lived half a lifetime, it was the first time someone had leveled such an accusation against him.
He even already had countless unattractive outcomes prepared for her in his mind just now.
But Michael Jennings was quicker to act.
Also because of this reaction, Luca Jennings felt that this younger brother might still be redeemable.
If he had harbored even the slightest suspicion against his elder brother because of Odessa’s words just now, then his younger brother would truly be beyond saving.
Odessa did not expect that by merely misspeaking, Michael Jennings would actually consider divorcing her.
At that moment, disregarding the fiery pain on her face, she struggled to get up and plead with Michael Jennings.
But the fall just now seemed to make her already injured leg hurt even more.
"No, I don’t want a divorce! It hurts... Michael, my leg hurts so much... Michael, I didn’t mean it that way just now, I really..."
Odessa was so anxious that her jaw was about to cramp; now she really felt something was amiss with herself.
This feeling, as if the whole world was antagonizing her.
Even her own mouth was against her!
Where on earth had she brought bad luck upon herself!
A well-laid plan, yet it had turned out like this!
Seeing that Michael Jennings had already made a choice, Luca Jennings didn’t bother to continue staying in the private room watching her fuss, and was about to leave when an assistant pushed the door and came in.
As soon as Michael Jennings appeared in the private room and the incident happened, Luca Jennings had Assistant Lin clear the surrounding area immediately.
After all, with such a disgraceful scene, even if the private room’s sound insulation was adequate, he was worried it would be overheard and leaked out by someone.
Later, Assistant Lin even had other assistants stand guard outside.
The assistant who came in was holding a mobile phone, which still displayed the familiar live broadcast room interface, and as he approached, he whispered to Luca Jennings,
"Fifteen minutes ago, Miss Scarlett suddenly asked the program staff for leave and left, and the assistant in charge of following Miss Scarlett said she was on her way here."
Luca Jennings, who had barely reacted to Odessa’s sudden "confession" just now, slightly changed his expression when he heard these words.
Turning his head, without caring about Odessa and Michael Jennings still entangled there, he gave Michael Jennings a stern, unequivocal order,
"Settle this matter within ten minutes, and don’t let me hear half a word about today’s private room from her mouth, publicly, it should only be due to personality clash that you decide to divorce."
This kind of disgraceful matter, must absolutely not sully Scarlett’s ears.
There was already a misunderstanding about the elite circle from the outside, if Scarlett found out his troublesome romantic issue was actually Odessa, a sister-in-law, she might think their family was as messy as the other disreputable families.
This was something that Luca Jennings absolutely could not permit.
Perhaps his gaze was too fierce and intimidating, Michael Jennings subconsciously agreed.
Seeing this, Luca Jennings did not continue to stay there; he planned to go up to the presidential suite upstairs to change his clothes before Scarlett arrived.
Even though there had been no contact at all with Odessa, he felt that his body was still tainted with that filthy fragrance, and he had to change.
While removing his coat, Luca Jennings subconsciously touched the Anti-backstabbing Talisman in his inner pocket, and unexpectedly touched a handful of Talisman ash.
It seems that he was indeed lucky not to be affected by the incense, thanks to the Talisman given by Scarlett.
He didn’t know where Odessa got hold of such things.
Thinking of that woman, Luca Jennings’s face darkened even more.
...
By the time Luca Jennings had straightened up, Scarlett Jennings really had arrived.
Seeing his daughter, Luca Jennings felt somewhat unnervingly uneasy,
"Didn’t I tell you not to come over, Daddy has already handled everything."
It was embarrassing enough for a man of his age to be singled out by his daughter for having a troublesome romantic issue.
If Scarlett knew that this trouble was Odessa, he felt like he could not face Scarlett.
Now he just hoped that Scarlett wouldn’t notice anything amiss.
"I’m not at ease."
