"The city reported news of a missing young woman... Residents are urged to stay vigilant and report any relevant information to the police promptly..."
The local news played on the TV in the living room.
Old Sir Jennings, being from an older generation, still preferred to get current events through television news.
As for all those various VIP subscriptions required by TVs these days, they weren’t something he needed to concern himself with.
Scarlett Jennings returned from her morning jog, poured herself a big glass of warm water, and then slowly but steadily drank the entire thing without spilling a drop.
Old Sir Jennings watched his newly returned granddaughter with a gentle expression.
To be honest, he was quite satisfied.
Not only because of his granddaughter’s outstanding academic achievements, but also because of her disciplined habits. freёwebnoѵel.com
Since coming home, Scarlett had fixed her wake-up time to six o’clock every day, practiced a set of Eight Pieces of Strength, jogged for half an hour, and made sure to drink at least eight full glasses of water daily.
Such disciplined routines and eating habits, even he had only developed after stepping back, but for his young granddaughter, it seemed second nature.
The only downside, perhaps, was her peculiar hobbies.
But it proved that these hobbies might not be just simple interests.
Thinking about what he’d heard from Donovan about her abilities, things that could potentially bring something different to the Jennings Family in the future, Old Sir Jennings looked at Scarlett with a thoughtful gaze.
"Grandpa." Scarlett matched Old Sir Jennings’ gaze and greeted him obediently.
With regard to Old Sir Jennings, Scarlett wasn’t exactly close but not distant either.
While he appeared gentle in demeanor towards her, since she came back to the Jennings Family, quite a lot had happened, and Old Sir Jennings had always maintained a silent, observant attitude, never participating or taking sides.
He seemed to ensure fairness, but to Scarlett, it more felt like he was quietly observing her.
Observing whether she had what it took to be part of the Jennings Family.
Scarlett didn’t feel too much about it.
As an outsider, she knew she was different from everyone in this family and wouldn’t feel wronged for being scrutinized.
Similarly, she wouldn’t go out of her way to please anyone to fit in.
Old Sir Jennings could tell she was proper without a hint of closeness, so he simply smiled gently, "I see your Eight Pieces of Strength in the morning are quite good. Your brothers have been home on vacation and are quite lazy. How about I have them join you every day?"
Scarlett couldn’t understand where Old Sir Jennings’ interest came from. Thinking of Adam and Chase’s animosity towards her, she simply said, "If they’re willing, they can follow along."
Following along, but she wouldn’t take the time to teach them specially.
After all, she didn’t have the time to bother with that.
Old Sir Jennings didn’t find anything wrong with her attitude, and smilingly said, "Grandpa will make them willing."
Scarlett raised an eyebrow slightly.
She suddenly recalled the last time she saw Donovan putting the three brothers through rigorous practice.
Was this a disguised way to continue the training?
Although she wasn’t interested, being able to see the three being put through their paces...
Who would have thought this young lady would agree right away?
Hearing the producer’s question, Scarlett simply asked back, "Why?"
Quincy was a bit flustered. Did this even need asking?
Of course, it was because the Jennings Family might not agree.
But then he heard Scarlett’s voice, calm yet confident,
"I’m of age. I can make my own decisions."
Quincy: ...
"Alright, then let’s still set up a time. There’s some specific details we need to finalize with you."
Scarlett, knowing a meeting was still necessary, felt it was a waste of time, but agreed nonetheless and confirmed the time and place with the other side.
Lucas Jennings came downstairs just in time to hear her setting the time and place over on the balcony. His sleepy mind was suddenly wide awake, "Sis, are you going out? I’ll go with you!"
Though Scarlett didn’t dislike or like this suddenly clingy little brother, she simply replied, "I have an appointment."
Lucas refused to give up, "Who did you make plans with? Can’t I come along?"
Scarlett said, "A variety show producer."
With that, she didn’t give Lucas another chance to pester her and turned to go upstairs.
Lucas stood there dumbfounded for quite a while before finally processing what she had said.
"Variety show?? Sis, are you going to record a variety show?!"
