Donovan Jennings' voice successfully brought Emma White's precarious sanity back, as if a bucket of cold water was dumped over her head, instantly stopping all her actions.
At the same time, the commotion here finally caught the attention of people inside the villa. Luca Jennings came out.
"What's going on?"
As the current head of the Jennings Group, Luca was a figure who appeared in various media and financial reports. Emma recognized him almost immediately, and without further entanglement with Scarlett Garrison, her expression shifted to a smile and she greeted him.
"Mr. Jennings, I am the wife of Timothy Garrison, the president of Garrison Building Materials. I didn't expect you to be at home; that's really great."
Luca Jennings' gaze shifted across the faces of Emma White, Scarlett Garrison, and Donovan Jennings, his expression unchanging, he only asked,
"Mrs. Garrison, hello, do you have something you need to explain?"
With Luca Jennings' status, he didn't need to be so polite with people, as he was not someone who enjoyed being overly courteous. However, knowing that the person in front of him was from the Garrison Family who raised Scarlett, he showed a bit more patience and thoughtfulness, assuming she might be here to talk about Scarlett's living habits.
Emma White, not understanding his intention, was only humbly asked if she needed to explain something, which instantly inflated her vanity.
This was the head of Jennings Group, allowing her to dictate his actions!
It showed the importance of her company in the eyes of the president of Jennings Group.
The anger that had been stirred up by Donovan Jennings finally settled, and subconsciously, she puffed up her chest, "Indeed, there are some things I need to explain."
Emma glanced proudly at Scarlett Garrison beside her and quickly pulled over Isolde Garrison, "Mr. Jennings, this is my daughter, Isolde Garrison."
Isolde quickly greeted politely, "Hello, Uncle Jennings."
"It's like this, I know that for Sea City's landmark project, the government plans to choose eight students from the top four universities as city image representatives for the promotional video shoot. The final list will be submitted to Jennings Group."
Emma continued, "For some reasons, the slot that should have belonged to my daughter was taken by someone else. So I'm here hoping that Jennings Group could help switch the slot back. It's just a simple favor."
Luca Jennings slightly furrowed his brows.
He knew about this issue, but it was handled by the youngest brother, whom he hadn't questioned.
Given his personality, he didn't like affairs that involved personal favors.
But the person in front of him was from the Garrison Family who had raised Scarlett; Luca Jennings inevitably thought a bit more.
Well, consider it as repaying them for their kindness in raising Scarlett.
Thinking so, Luca Jennings relented, "I will inquire about this matter. Who is the person that took your daughter's slot? I'll have my secretary check."
"Scarlett Garrison," Emma White blurted out almost impatiently.
Luca Jennings' motion of pulling out his phone paused, and he looked up at Emma White, clearly stunned, "Who did you say?"
"Scarlett Garrison," Emma repeated, thinking he hadn't heard clearly, she straightforwardly pointed at Scarlett Garrison beside her,
"It's her, this child was actually adopted by our family earlier, but she's a thankless person, not only is she ill-tempered, she also likes to lie. I didn't expect that her biological parents would turn out to be workers at the Jennings home. I don't mean to speak ill of a child, but the nature she was born with is fixed, no matter how hard I try to teach her, she just cannot learn..."
Emma White tirelessly tried to frame Scarlett, and Donovan Jennings' face darkened; he finally understood what Scarlett meant by 'framing' earlier.
The butler and housekeeper beside were astounded.
To speak so disparagingly of the young lady right in front of Mr. Jennings...
Is this person out of her mind?
Scarlett had long been accustomed to Emma White's defamation, even the rambling she did earlier to the housekeeper didn't bother her.
But now, in front of Donovan Jennings and her newly met biological father, Emma White's words unexpectedly provoked annoyance in her.
This was the family that had just acknowledged her, she had just started to have a little hope for what she called family, but why, why does this person never want to see her do well?
Doesn't Emma White know what others would think when they hear her words?
She knows.
But she doesn't care; she simply wants the whole world to hate her.
When she was younger, whenever a teacher showed fondness for her or even praised her, Emma White would find various ways to slander herself in front of the teacher, making the teacher think she was a bad child.
The teachers probably never imagined a mother would speak ill of her own child; almost all of them believed Emma's words and thought of her as a bad child.
The less she was liked, the more Isolde could suppress her.
Later on, Emma White's dislike and defamation seemed to become a habit, just like now.
That cooperation project was originally set up to repay the Garrison Family for their care of Scarlett, with very favorable terms which not only gave the Garrison Clan profits worth hundreds of millions but also aimed to help the Garrison Family climb to the next level. However, now that he knew how the Garrison Family privately treated Scarlett, he would no longer allow the Jennings Family to support them. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
