Scarlett Jennings naturally knew it wasn’t appropriate, wasn’t she discussing it with him in advance?
"So I’m asking you, when would be more appropriate?"
After speaking, she was worried he might misunderstand that she didn’t want to bind with him, so she added, "Whatever you decide, I’m fine with it."
The originally cold gaze of Samuel Chalmers inexplicably warmed a bit at her words,
"Then... we’ll talk about it in a year."
Scarlett Jennings automatically ignored the meaning of "we’ll talk about it" and nodded decisively,
"Okay, in a year then."
...
In the suburban bungalow, Azura Loomis looked at the overwhelming news about Scarlett Jennings online.
Refreshing the page, netizens were discussing Scarlett Jennings saving people in the Ghost Realm.
Refresh again, netizens were lamenting the end of "Inspiration", especially not wanting to part with Scarlett Jennings.
Refresh once more, netizens were gossiping about Scarlett Jennings, the eldest daughter of the Jennings Family, and the love affair with the CEO of the Chalmers Group.
Azura Loomis was so angry that she simply turned off the phone and tossed it aside, pretending she couldn’t see it.
Nearby, Ava Zimmerman saw her actions and asked coldly,
"Did you find everyone I asked you to? The list of all the players who attended that night."
Because last night Azura Loomis said the system might already be bound to another host and most likely one of the players present last night.
Ava Zimmerman wasn’t willing to give up the system, so she planned to have Azura Loomis find the list, so she could check each one individually.
She had to get that system.
Azura Loomis looked at Ava Zimmerman,
"I’ve added about half of the players in that group, but there are still quite a few who left the group last night, I can’t find them for now..."
Ava Zimmerman immediately retorted mercilessly, "Useless."
Azura Loomis felt ashamed and angry, but still restrained her temper to confirm with her,
"You said before, as long as I help you get the system, you’ll help me deal with Scarlett Jennings, is that true?"
Ava Zimmerman glanced at her, then pointed to herself, "I speak what I mean, I never lie."
Azura Loomis was still a bit unsure, "But didn’t you before... torture me because of Scarlett Jennings..."
Azura Loomis really couldn’t understand Ava Zimmerman.
Being ugly was one thing, but having such a strange temper...
Before she said she bullied Scarlett, that’s why she caught her and tortured her to vent, but when she came back last night, her attitude towards Scarlett Jennings seemed to change completely.
Ava Zimmerman’s eyes flashed with resentment hearing Azura Loomis’s words.
Before... was before.
Since Scarlett Jennings and she aren’t the same kind of people, since she betrayed her, she would no longer hold back.
Everyone who betrayed her, who abandoned her, must pay the price.
Just, not yet.
Maybe because she used too much of the Power of Word Spirit, Ava Zimmerman felt her throat condition worsening.
If her throat could no longer produce sound, this gift from the heavens would no longer be usable.
That’s why Ava Zimmerman was so anxious to find Azura Loomis’s system.
If she could find the system and successfully bind it, her throat would surely be saved.
This was the only solution Ava Zimmerman could think of right now.
The two were still talking when suddenly there was a knocking sound at the door.
Slow and steady, it seemed inexplicably eerie in the night.
Ava Zimmerman instinctively became cautious, her voice hoarse, asking, "Who is it?"
The person outside didn’t speak, just continued knocking at the same steady rhythm.
Ava Zimmerman glanced at Azura Loomis, who showed a hint of fear in her eyes.
