Chapter 493: Chapter 493 Chase Jennings Under a Suggestion

Scarlett Jennings was still pondering the events that Ava Zimmerman had recounted to her in the restaurant earlier. Suddenly, she was stopped. She raised her eyes and gave a cool glance.

Chase Jennings said,

“I thought your sudden invitation to Ava Zimmerman for a meal was due to guilt, but it turns out you are absolutely nothing!”

“You know Ava Zimmerman has a scar on her face, and she has always been sensitive and insecure. Why did you force her to take off her mask for you to see her face?”

If she hadn’t removed her mask, Ava Zimmerman’s face wouldn’t have been injured by the flying debris.

Though compared to other scars on her face it seemed minor, he felt her misfortune tonight was entirely due to Scarlett Jennings.

If Scarlett Jennings had been bound to the system, she would probably be seeing Chase Jennings’ goodwill value plummet drastically from the hard-earned passing mark.

But she didn’t care either.

Scarlett Jennings looked at Chase Jennings and simply asked,

“Did she make you come question me as soon as you got back?”

“She said nothing!”

Chase Jennings said, “It was my own decision to seek the truth, Scarlett Jennings. Ava Zimmerman is my friend, you can’t use me to hurt her!”

Scarlett Jennings frowned at his words but still patiently asked him back,

“Then why do you think I insisted on seeing her face?”

Before Chase Jennings could speak, Scarlett Jennings continued to ask, “Don’t you think Ava Zimmerman’s voice and eyes resemble Azura Loomis a lot?”

Scarlett Jennings wanted to remind him for the last time, though Chase Jennings’ heart was already leaning,

“So, you deliberately targeted her because she resembles Azura Loomis?”

Chase Jennings frowned at Scarlett Jennings, his gaze full of doubt and discontent,

“Scarlett Jennings, I know you hate Azura Loomis, but you can’t target innocent people just because someone slightly resembles her. How are you different from Azura Loomis in the past?”

Scarlett Jennings: …

She stared at Chase Jennings for a long time, seemingly realizing something, and immediately decided to give up arguing further with him.

She lifted her leg to leave, but Chase Jennings stepped forward again to block her at the door.

After all, once inside, if he argued with her further, Brother Donovan and the others would surely side with her again.

Just like Ava Zimmerman said, the family is now charmed by Scarlett Jennings; the Jennings Family is different from before she returned.

Seeing Chase Jennings still wanting to argue, Scarlett Jennings instantly felt a bit tired.

She raised her hand, intending to have Liora Gold slap him awake again, when suddenly, with a slap, a car headlight abruptly shone on her and Chase Jennings.

The light was behind her, while Chase Jennings, who blocked her, was dazzled and couldn’t open his eyes.

Their attention was caught by this sudden turn of events, and when the headlights turned off, they saw Samuel Chalmers get out from the back seat of a familiar Maybach, walking straight towards them, and then stood right beside Scarlett Jennings.

“What happened?”

It was clear Samuel Chalmers had just come back, probably noticing the situation at the door as he passed by, thus flashing the lights.

Scarlett Jennings was reluctant to have the little paperman hit someone in front of Samuel Chalmers, so she shook her head and said,

“Nothing.”

Samuel Chalmers heard her, then looked at Chase Jennings, his dark eyes deeply staring at him, “And you?”

Chase Jennings: …

Faced with such an intimidating gaze, how could he dare say anything?

Chase Jennings felt his mind clear for a moment at the sight of Samuel Chalmers, wondering why his attitude toward Scarlett Jennings seemed to have returned to how it was initially.

But before he could think more, Samuel Chalmers turned to Scarlett Jennings again with a slightly softer voice, “I have something for you, will you come with me to get it?”

Scarlett Jennings, not wanting to continue with Chase Jennings, nodded upon hearing this, and then got into Samuel Chalmers’ car.

Soon, the small drama at the Jennings Family door ended.

Scarlett Jennings followed Samuel Chalmers back to the Chalmers Family, and only then did Samuel Chalmers ask her,

“Can you tell me what happened with you all just now?”

Samuel Chalmers was rarely curious about her family matters. Even when discussing Mystical Sect issues with him, she always kept it short, as she did with Donovan Jennings and the others.

She always remembered they were different from her, just ordinary people.

Even though Samuel Chalmers was somewhat unique, he was still merely an extraordinary ordinary person.

But after he tore open the Ghost Realm by hand, Scarlett Jennings’ perception of Samuel Chalmers changed.

Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and decided to tell him everything that happened tonight.

She also told him about Ava Zimmerman, which she hadn’t even mentioned explicitly to Chase Jennings.

Firstly, she’d already had a direct confrontation with Ava Zimmerman that night, and secondly, she wanted to see Samuel Chalmers’ reaction to these matters.

She had kept in mind what the Rat Demon said last time.

Unexpectedly, when Samuel Chalmers learned Ava Zimmerman had the Power of Word Spirit, his eyes showed no ripple, as if he wasn’t surprised by such a thing.

Instead, when he heard Ava Zimmerman had used the Word Spirit power on her, his voice held a hint of coldness,

“She acted against you?”

“It seemed she deliberately displayed her ability to me, testing if her Word Spirit power could restrain me.”

Scarlett Jennings paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly with some pride, “But I fought back.”

Samuel Chalmers saw her expression, his gaze softened again, and even the smile on his barely visible lips stretched a bit.

Asking again about Chase Jennings blocking her at the door, Scarlett Jennings’ expression took on a subtle change, after a while she said,

“If I’m guessing right, Ava Zimmerman might have hinted at him.”

Primarily, Chase Jennings felt too abrupt to her tonight.

Chase Jennings, although somewhat foolish, wasn’t foolish enough to repeatedly jump into the same pit.

However, his demeanor defending Ava Zimmerman tonight was very much like how he blindly accused her while defending Azura Loomis back then…

So she speculated Ava Zimmerman likely hinted at him.

A Word Spirit user’s hint is evidently much more intense than a hypnotist’s suggestion.

Scarlett Jennings could try to help him dismiss the hint.

But she’s not willing to bother herself with that person now.

Let’s just leave it for now.

She also wanted to see why Ava Zimmerman was putting so much effort into Chase Jennings.

While thinking about this, Scarlett Jennings suddenly felt a faint rumble from her stomach.

Even though it was a sound only she could feel, Samuel Chalmers heard it too.

“You didn’t have dinner?”

Samuel Chalmers recalled she had specially arranged to have dinner with someone earlier, but ended up not eating and returning home.

She was even blocked at the door.

Scarlett Jennings rarely felt somewhat embarrassed but still kept a composed façade, “I planned to have something when I got home.”

Samuel Chalmers’ face was slightly indifferent, only turning his head to instruct the butler,

“Prepare some late-night snacks and send them over.”

It was already past nine, by this time it could only be considered a night snack.

Scarlett Jennings quickly said, “Uncle Butler, just cook a bowl of dumplings, I feel like having dumplings.”

Having eaten at the Chalmers Family more than once, Scarlett Jennings wasn’t polite, she directly ordered from the butler.

Samuel Chalmers heard this, nodded at the butler, then added,

“Cook two servings.”

Butler: ???

Huh?

The fact that the young master never eats late-night snacks… Did he remember wrong?

Hmm, he definitely remembered wrong~~
