Over there, Chase Jennings strode over, wearing a well-tailored suit, and appeared a bit more composed than in the original world.
He looked at Azura Loomis, but rather than immediately accusing someone of bullying her as Scarlett Jennings remembered, he surveyed the situation and simply asked,
"What’s going on?"
Scarlett Jennings stood up, not waiting for Azura Loomis to complain, and directly said,
"This young lady took my phone and wouldn’t return it, and because we asked her to give it back, she felt wronged."
Scarlett spoke in a very matter-of-fact tone, although she stated the facts, omitting some information to convey one thing—
Your sister is having a meltdown.
Chase also seemed to find the logic flawed and instinctively looked at the phone clutched by Azura Loomis at her side.
Azura Loomis felt a flash of resentment in her heart, but when facing Chase, she wore an innocent look of concern,
"No, it’s because she was searching for information on the Jennings family on her phone, and I was worried she might be planning something against you, so I questioned her. If you don’t believe me, look..."
"Azura."
Chase didn’t let her finish and spoke directly, "That’s not a reason to take someone else’s phone. First, return the phone."
Azura Loomis looked a bit disbelief at this, then quickly showed embarrassment, bit her lips, and obediently handed the phone back to Scarlett.
Scarlett was somewhat surprised, not only at Chase’s first reaction but also at Azura Loomis’s attitude towards him.
In the original world, Chase defended her without question, and Azura Loomis always accepted everything with a sense of entitlement, manipulating his emotions.
But now, Chase seemed to have gained some sense, and Azura Loomis treated him with more cautious ingratiation?
It seemed that without a system in this otherworld, Azura’s relationships with the Jennings were not the same as in another world.
Scarlett thought this as Chase suddenly shifted his gaze to her,
"You’ve got your phone back. Now, can you explain why you were secretly searching for news about my family?"
He squinted his eyes, as if trying to see through Scarlett,
"Are you a tabloid journalist?"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Logan couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud. Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, she immediately said,
"Sorry, I couldn’t help it. It’s the first time I’ve heard someone being publicly questioned for being a fan."
She said this, looking at Chase and Azura, the smile on her face slightly faded,
"I personally think the two of you are being a bit too nosy, truly having too much free time."
Azura Loomis, Chase Jennings: ...
It wasn’t just Azura Loomis, Chase also showed signs of anger, but quickly suppressed it.
He reminded himself of his identity as a Jennings, not to argue with irrelevant people.
Suddenly, he coldly scanned the two of them, sneered, and called the restaurant manager over.
The manager had already heard the commotion on this side and knew who Chase was, so he quickly approached.
Chase whispered a few words to him, and soon the manager walked over to Scarlett and Logan, politely and courteously expressing,
"Excuse me, both of you. To ensure the quality of our guests’ dining experience, we hope you can choose another restaurant to dine at."
Scarlett Jennings: ...
She wanted to take back her earlier thought that Chase had grown a brain.
Chase was still Chase.
This was effectively demanding that the restaurant refuse to serve them due to a disagreement.
Although the manager phrased it politely, the meaning was to kick them out.
Scarlett gave Chase a cold stare, suddenly wanting to send him another robotic vacuum experience card for a month.
Unfortunately, in this world, spiritual power couldn’t be used.
She’d have to resort to some physical methods.
Though the process would be troublesome, she now had an urge to hit someone.
Logan didn’t immediately respond to the manager’s words, but after sending a message on her phone, she stood up unhurriedly, looked at Chase, and said,
"Arguing a bit and now wanting the restaurant to kick us out—I’ve learned about the Jennings’ upbringing."
Chase maintained a high-cold posture,
"This isn’t about my identity as a Jennings; I’m simply a friend of the restaurant owner, offering some suggestions."
"Oh," Logan replied, "then I have a suggestion too. I hope you won’t mind?"
Logan’s words left both Chase and the manager puzzled.
Listening to the orders from the other end, the manager was in disbelief at first, then looked at Chase with difficulty, and finally hung up the phone looking resigned.
