As the eldest among the younger generation of the Jennings Family, Donovan Jennings always had a smile on his face, but hardly anyone dared to disregard his words.
Sometimes, even more effective than the parents of each household.
Just like Lucas Jennings now, after receiving the warning in Donovan's eyes, he promptly shut his mouth and didn't make another sound.
Azura Loomis glanced at Donovan, lowered her eyes in silence, making her expression indiscernible.
Ms. Weaver, the maid, was quickly taken away by the villa's security to be held, but this matter was not an easy one to resolve.
On the surface, Ms. Weaver had not stolen any of the Jennings Family's property, so calling the police was definitely not an option.
At most, it could be chalked up to her feudal superstition.
After all, the idea of stealing wealth energy was without any real basis.
But with such an incident, Ms. Weaver definitely could not stay with the Jennings Family anymore.
"Miss, how should we deal with these items?" the butler asked Scarlett Garrison, who was standing by. Regardless of how she knew something was buried here, it was clear that this young lady, who had just returned home, was onto something.
"Just burn them."
After saying this, Scarlett pulled out her phone and nonchalantly did something on it. Donovan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw her transferring fifty thousand of the hundred thousand he had just given her to some account.
Donovan raised an eyebrow secretly but didn't ask any further questions.
What he gave her was hers, and it was up to her how she wanted to spend it.
In the villa's large study, the butler reported the goings-on in the downstairs garden to Old Master Jennings.
"...Ming Week dug up something in the flower garden, probably what the miss was referring to when she mentioned something stealing the Jennings Family's wealth energy."
Old Master Jennings was somewhat surprised, "The kid actually knows about these things?"
The butler thought for a moment, and said, "It could also be a coincidence."
He said, "The surveillance shows that the item was buried a month ago. According to the miss's claims, the Jennings Family should have already lost some of its wealth energy, but I asked Donovan after the fact, and both the company and the household haven't experienced any financial losses these days."
In other words, whatever Ms. Weaver buried had no effect, which puts the credibility of Scarlett's words into question.
Old Master Jennings listened, then chuckled thoughtfully, "It seems that it's just a bit of the child's hobby, well, as long as it's harmless, let it be."
As for Ms. Weaver, even if she wasn't successful, since she had ill intentions, naturally, she couldn't stay with the Jennings Family any longer.
Hearing that the Jennings Family hadn't lost any wealth, Scarlett's first reaction was disbelief.
"Impossible."
Although very subtle, Ms. Weaver did indeed steal a portion of the Jennings Family's wealth energy.
That little bit of wealth energy was enough to bring a windfall to Ms. Weaver's family.
Scarlett was quite certain of this.
Lucas Jennings, who had been reconsidering whether he was too hasty after she accurately mentioned Ms. Weaver's case, immediately laughed when he heard this,
"I told you someone was just bluffing; what stealing of wealth energy, I've never even heard of such a thing!"
Scarlett shot him a look that clearly said you brat, stay away from me.
Then she turned directly to Donovan, "Just check the recent bank account activities of Ms. Weaver and her son, and we'll know."
Donovan was also curious about his sister's abilities and didn't mind the trouble. With a phone call to delegate the task, the investigation results soon came through from the other end of the line.
And at the moment Donovan saw the results, his expression was unusually nuanced.
