The four people inside the elevator all turned their gazes towards Michael Jennings and Odessa’s phones.
The latter two felt an ominous premonition inexplicably rising in their hearts.
Without asking further, both quickly answered the calls.
The next second, both of their faces changed drastically.
Odessa almost lost her balance and instinctively leaned towards Michael Jennings, her voice piercingly sharp,
"What did you say?! Ismeria was kidnapped?!"
Luca Jennings’s expression sank upon hearing this.
Although he detested Odessa, Ismeria was a child of the Jennings Family; her kidnapping was not just a matter concerning the second branch of the family.
Without asking further, Luca Jennings quickly sent out several messages from his phone.
Scarlett knew that trouble was brewing, but did not expect it to unravel so quickly, reflecting the extent of bad luck following Odessa.
Thinking of the recent changes in Ismeria’s attitude towards her and her care for the little beauty.
Scarlett sighed inwardly.
Considering the gift she received - Diamond Crown worth over five million.
With that thought, Scarlett swiftly pulled out a blank Talisman Paper, attempting to track Ismeria’s aura.
However, Odessa, unaware of why Scarlett’s action of taking out the Talisman Paper irritated her, and recalling her recent "warning," suddenly screamed and lunged at Scarlett,
"Was it you?! Did you harm my Ismeria?!"
It had to be her, otherwise why would she have deliberately said those words just before.
The little b*tch must be seeking revenge.
Because she coveted her mother’s position, she must be intentionally making her suffer.
Odessa’s outburst came so unexpectedly that both Michael Jennings and Luca Jennings, who were busy contacting people to find the child, were taken by surprise. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Luca Jennings’s expression darkened, and he reached out to stop her, but was still a step too slow.
Just as Odessa was about to pounce on Scarlett, her nails decorated with diamond patterns clawing towards Scarlett’s face.
However, before she could make contact, Scarlett looked up indifferently, moved the Talisman Paper away with one hand, and deftly grabbed Odessa’s approaching hand with the other, swiftly restraining her hands and then giving a skillful push.
Before Michael Jennings could react, Odessa was already hurtling towards him.
Even though it didn’t seem like Scarlett exerted much force, the impact of Odessa colliding into him slammed him against the elevator wall, causing a loud "bang" sound unexpectedly.
Michael Jennings’s facial muscles twitched as he looked towards Scarlett, hearing her coldly saying,
"If you want to save Ismeria, control her."
Only then Michael Jennings noticed the Talisman Paper in Scarlett’s hand, his expression becoming complex and weird.
He really didn’t want to believe in these supernatural things.
But with his youngest daughter kidnapped and whereabouts unknown, Michael Jennings couldn’t help but harbor a glimmer of hope for his niece’s abilities.
Seeing Odessa struggling as she continued to create a scene, Michael Jennings’s face darkened, holding her tightly and scolding sharply,
"Fool! What are you doing at a time like this, do you really want to harm Ismeria?!"
But Odessa was fired up by that push from Scarlett and, with her mind unsettled by Ismeria’s situation, she simply couldn’t listen, still accusing Scarlett of wrongly reporting,
"Michael, don’t be fooled by her! She’s so cold-hearted, how could she possibly save our Ismeria! It’s clearly her! Her kidnapping must be because she..."
Before she could finish, a crisp "smack" sound was heard.
