Donovan Jennings keenly noticed her troubled expression and asked, "Auntie Zhang, what's the matter?"
The person called Auntie Zhang immediately came forward and said, "When Sister Wu first came to the Jennings Family, she indeed mentioned that her son had intellectual problems and had been fostered in a school for intellectual disabilities."
The two came to work for the Jennings Family around the same time and talked privately, so she knew about Sister Wu's family situation quite clearly.
Scarlett Garrison asked her, "Do you know when her son stopped being intellectually challenged?"
Auntie Zhang thought carefully and said, "It should have been eight years ago. I remember one day she was very happy and said her son had recovered. It was probably summer then."
Realization dawned on Scarlett, who then turned to Donovan and asked, "Eight years ago, was there a child near Sister Wu or around the Jennings Family who was originally of normal intelligence but suddenly became intellectually challenged one day?"
Everyone present, including Luca Jennings who had been silent by the side, was startled by her words, "You mean..."
"To restore a foolish child to normal, one must swap the intelligence from someone else onto one's own kin. However, the one from whom the intelligence is taken will inevitably become a foolish child in place of the other."
The reason she asked about Sister Wu's surroundings and the Jennings Family was that Sister Wu had been working at the Jennings Family for ten years and her daily range of movement was also within the Jennings Family grounds, so her options for suitable subjects were very limited.
At this point, Scarlett's implication was clear to everyone.
Lucas Jennings, who was initially angry that Scarlett ignored him, subconsciously thought of someone upon hearing her words and blurted out, "Silva Family's Silly Miss!"
Several people in the hall turned to look at Lucas at once. Luca Jennings, with a stern expression, admonished him, "Do not refer to the Silva Family's young lady like that!"
He then turned his head back to Scarlett.
By now, even if he didn't believe that Scarlett had any extraordinary capabilities beyond ordinary people, he couldn't help but take her more seriously on the surface.
After all, if what she said was true, involving the Silva Family's young lady, it was not just a matter concerning Sister Wu alone.
The Silva and the Jennings families had been friends for generations, and indeed, the Silva Family's young lady had become intellectually disabled eight years ago.
But...
"The Silva Family's young lady became intellectually disabled due to an accident where she injured her head while learning to ride a horse."
Otherwise, given the Silva Family's resources, if their child suddenly became intellectually disabled, they would definitely have sought out a master to look into it.
Because it was an external force that caused the intellectual disability, the Silva family never considered possibilities beyond medicine.
Scarlett, noncommittal, only asked, "Did the Silva Family's young lady visit the Jennings Family eight years ago?"
Donovan Jennings' face grew stern, and then he confirmed, "She did."
As the eldest grandson of the Jennings Family, he was always responsible for entertaining the younger guests, so he remembered it very clearly.
Plus, the Silva Family's young lady was round and cute, more well-behaved than other second-generation kids, which naturally left an impression.
It seemed that her fall from the horse happened after visiting the Jennings Family, and after that, the Silva Family never brought her along for visits again.
"Do you have a photo of her?" asked Scarlett.
Donovan naturally did not have a photo of the Silva Family's young lady, but it was easy to get one; he quickly had someone find a photo of the Silva Family's young lady from a social media platform for Scarlett.
Scarlett took one look and confirmed, "It's her."
Scarlett was certain, but the people in the living room did not show a relaxed expression.
This involved the Silva Family, and it was not something to be joked about lightly.
The Silva Family had a profound background, being a hundred-year-old prestigious family. If this incident were true, then the Silva Family's young lady could be said to have been indirectly harmed by the Jennings Family.
