Chapter 43 -43: A Jade Token? I Have One Too

Donovan Jennings and Luca Jennings were not at home today. When they returned in the evening, they heard that Josiah Garrison had come to bother Scarlett and immediately instructed the butler, “In the future, as long as it’s someone from the Garrison Family, don’t let them in.”

Then they prepared to check on Scarlett. They were afraid the Garrison Family might cause their daughter (sister) any grievances again.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, they saw Scarlett Jennings coming down from the stairs holding a little fox, surprisingly with a “tail” attached in the form of Lucas Jennings following behind her angrily, demanding, “What happened to my arm just now? Did you do something to me? Scarlett Jennings, I advise you to confess honestly!”

“If it weren’t for me today, the Garrison people would have bullied you to death! Weren’t you the one who was really good at arguing with us before? But you can’t say a word to the Garrison family? You’re embarrassing us, the Jennings Family!”

Luca Jennings watched Lucas pestering Scarlett, instinctively furrowing his brow, thinking this kid was causing Scarlett trouble again. He was about to speak, but Donovan Jennings stopped him.

Luca paused but saw Donovan simply watching with great interest.

Lucas did not notice the two people downstairs until Scarlett finally stopped. He turned his head, and a momentary guilty look flashed across his face, but he quickly composed himself and politely greeted them, “Uncle, Brother Donovan, you’re back?”

“Hmm, what are you talking about?” Luca Jennings asked in a deep voice.

Scarlett was just about to speak when Lucas, afraid she would complain again, quickly took a few steps and spoke first, “Uncle, we were talking about that foster brother from the Garrison Family who came today. You didn’t know, that guy kept using his brother’s identity and the Garrison’s nurturing kindness to oppress people, and I scolded him away.”

Donovan raised an eyebrow, “Oh? You’re quite impressive.”

Hearing Donovan praise him, Lucas immediately puffed up with pride, “Of course, and look at where we are? Somebody tries to bully people on the Jennings’ turf without considering their own status!”

Speaking, Lucas glanced at Scarlett again, seeing her listening to him with a calm expression, showing no trace of gratitude. He felt somewhat dissatisfied. Today, he stepped up to defend her, yet she didn’t even express thanks throughout the afternoon, nor did she respond when he spoke to her—truly ungrateful!

No wonder Azura said he shouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs. She wasn’t worth helping. Frustrated, Lucas decided to lodge a complaint in a different way, “Uncle, Brother Donovan, did you know? Scarlett Jennings has a pretty good relationship with her foster brother from the Garrison Family. She even personally made him some kind of Jade Token!”

Hearing the relationship was pretty good, Luca instinctively glanced at Scarlett.

Scarlett shook her head, concise and to the point, “Not good.”

Donovan just smiled, “Jade Token? Are you talking about the Amulet? I have one, too.”

He spoke while drawing a red string from his collar with a touch of low-key flaunt, displaying a Jade Token engraved with runes.

Seeing the red string and Jade Pendant that were so incongruous with his regal demeanor, Scarlett’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her almond eyes seemed to brighten a bit, yet her face remained as usual.

Lucas didn’t expect his attempt to stir trouble would fail on the spot. Jealous of the Jade Token, he gazed longingly at Luca, “Uncle, do you also have one?”

Luca pressed his lips, looking at the Jade Token on his son’s neck and then at Scarlett, his voice reserved, “I don’t have one.”

Scarlett seemed a bit surprised, “You do. I gave it.”

Luca was startled, a moment of joy flashing in his eyes, but he quickly furrowed his brow, “I didn’t receive it.”

“Hmm, yours is with me.” Donovan chimed in, speaking without a hint of guilt, “Scarlett asked me to pass it along, and I didn’t give it.”

Upon hearing this, Luca’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to scold him, Donovan leisurely added, “Because at that time, Father made a mistake, so I temporarily withheld the Amulet on Scarlett’s behalf.”
