Even someone like Donovan Jennings and Lucas Jennings, who were outsiders to these matters, sensed something off the moment they saw that doll.
Despite the doll’s body being very worn out, its red clothes were exceptionally bright.
So bright it was as if it had just been put on, exuding an inexplicably eerie aura.
Uncle Ming even jumped in fright upon seeing this thing,
"This! This plaster was just made a few years ago when the pavilion was renovated, how could there be such a thing inside?! This is... is this a dirty item?"
Lucas gave him a "you’re stating the obvious" look, "No need to ask! It’s definitely something dirty!"
As he spoke, he turned to confirm with Scarlett Jennings, "Sis, am I right?"
Scarlett didn’t answer. She raised her sword, hesitated for a moment, but then she put away the Peach Wood Sword and instead took out several Talisman Papers to stick on the doll before packing it away.
Afterward, using the same method of detection, Scarlett found several more items concealed by the "system" throughout the Jennings Family home that carried dark energy.
These weren’t just dolls; many were burial objects or old items containing dead people’s tissues, one of which was even found in Adam Jennings’s room.
When Adam saw Scarlett take out a doll’s clothing stained with mottled blood from the compartment above his bed, his face turned completely dark.
Because when Scarlett just came looking, he had confidently claimed that the doll Azura Loomis gave him had already been dealt with.
Although he didn’t really believe Azura would use the doll to harm anyone, he felt somewhat disgusted and took the opportunity to dispose of the doll she gave him while Azura was handling the dolls.
Who could have thought there would still be such a thing in the compartment above his bed?
Donovan obviously realized the seriousness of the issue as well.
He also guessed that the person hiding these items must be someone from inside the house.
Because the places Scarlett was searching, like inside the plaster, were completely inconspicuous from the outside, or they were high compartments that the maids couldn’t clean on regular days.
Even more ridiculous was a ceramic doll decoration, brazenly placed on a shelf in the corridor.
Only one person could be responsible for these deeds, all involving "dolls".
It seems the Jennings Family has been harboring a thief for years. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"I’m going to see Grandpa to explain the situation. From today on, we need to completely sever all ties between the Jennings Family and Azura Loomis."
Especially with Old Lady Jennings and Chase Jennings.
Scarlett hesitated for a moment and went with Donovan.
It wasn’t to help persuade Old Sir Jiang, but to hope that Old Sir Jiang and Donovan’s side wouldn’t make any noticeable actions for the time being.
"The items found now were mostly hidden little by little over the years. According to the positions where these items were hidden, this is likely a large formation targeting the Jennings Family, but the Array Eye is empty, indicating the other party isn’t fully prepared."
"I previously speculated that the loss of Fortune of Chase Jennings and Odessa was related to Azura Loomis. If it’s related to Fortune, what she aims to seize is likely the entire Fortune of the Jennings Family."
Old Sir Jiang, whose appearance was usually affable, was now stripped of pretense, revealing the intimidative and stern demeanor of a superior.
"She wants the Jennings Family’s Fortune? How dare she?!"
Scarlett, suddenly faced with Old Sir Jiang’s oppressive demeanor, showed no sign of nervousness, her voice still calm,
