Chapter 76 -76 Don’t Blame the Jennings Family for Bullying the Weak
Donovan Jennings quickly hung up the phone and said directly to Luca Jennings,
“President Jiang, I have something I need to handle first. Let Director Chen do today’s report.”
After saying that, he tossed the laser pointer in his hand to someone sitting nearby, making a move to leave the conference room.
Luca Jennings’ face darkened almost instantly, and he said coldly, “Stop! Who gave you permission to leave during a meeting?! During work hours, you…”
Before Luca could continue his reprimand, Donovan just turned his head slightly and replied calmly,
“Scarlett was taken to the police station. I’m going to pick her up.”
With one sentence, the words following stuck in Luca’s throat.
The next second, he stood up from his chair, his expression cold, announcing, “The meeting is adjourned for today.”
He then started walking toward Donovan, “I’ll go with you.”
The people in the conference room: …
Everyone instinctively looked toward Blaise Jennings.
Seeing the company vice president already halfway up from his chair, he cleared his throat at the sight of everyone looking and calmly stood up,
“Well then, let’s adjourn the meeting for now.”
Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings completed her statement at the police station, waiting for Delilah Woods and her mother when the sound of cars was heard outside.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads, only to see several luxury cars stop at the entrance.
Car doors opened, and several men in suits with serious expressions got out, the presence of the first two particularly evident.
The group walked into the police station with a strong aura.
The police chief came out at the commotion and was taken aback to see who it was.
“President Jiang, what brings you here suddenly? Is there a problem?”
At the forefront were Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings, followed by the company’s legal team.
Such a presence, and with the Jennings Group’s president personally coming over, this had to be a major case.
The police chief mentally went over the possible major cases involving the Jennings Family recently.
But, no clue, absolutely nothing.
“I’m here to…”
Luca was just about to speak when Scarlett Jennings’ slightly surprised voice came from inside,
“Dad, Brother?”
Even Scarlett was a bit stupefied at the moment.
However, when Luca saw Scarlett, his eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately walked over to her quickly.
Donovan kept up a similar pace, reaching Scarlett within a few steps.
“Are you okay?”
“Did anyone bully you?”
They spoke in unison, their eyes filled with undisguised concern.
Scarlett’s heart softened, and she shook her head obediently, “I’m fine.”
“What exactly happened? How did you end up at the police station?” Luca couldn’t help but ask.
The police chief, seeing both men’s concern, understood the girl must be part of the Jennings Family and signaled the officer next to him for information.
Scarlett simply said, “I ran into two hooligans and came to give a statement.”
Hooligans!
Luca and Donovan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
What kind of hooligans dared to provoke their Scarlett without fear of death!
The baby spirit couldn’t speak, but it felt the bond of blood. Once released by Scarlett, it used its tiny legs to float over to Delilah Woods, nestling its little head against her cheek.
Without the cover of resentful energy, its joy was visibly clear on its face.
Delilah cautiously attempted to cradle the baby spirit before her, tears uncontrollably falling as she sensed its attachment to her.
Delilah had once loathed the child’s existence, even felt relieved it was gone, but this was all due to her resentment toward Micah Quigley.
For the child, she always felt some guilt in her heart.
“Scarlett… thank you. Thank you for bringing it to see me.”
Scarlett looked at her and just said,
“It was just an unformed soul fetus, becoming a resentful infant due to the resentment at the teaching building. Now that those have been dispelled, its attachment to you remains. Sending it to reincarnate could still be difficult.”
Scarlett had only realized the issue upon seeing its small ginseng-like form.
A typical baby spirit would at least have fully developed features.
Yet it was only palm-sized, coupled with its attachment to its mother. Forcing it into reincarnation might provoke its resistance.
Though Delilah Woods had complicated feelings toward the child, she ultimately couldn’t bear it not being able to reincarnate,
“Then, then what can be done?”
“If you are willing, you can keep it by your side as ‘Raise Ghost’ form. As long as there are enough offerings and guidance, it may bless your future.”
Delilah noticeably hesitated at Scarlett’s suggestion.
The baby spirit seemed to understand and spun around happily before pressing itself against Delilah Woods again.
Seeing Delilah remain silent, Scarlett pursed her lips and added,
“There’s also a second option, which is to forcibly cut off the bloodline bond between you. Once it lets go of its attachment to you, it can smoothly enter reincarnation.”
Still two choices.
It all depended on which one Delilah Woods would choose.
