Chapter 21 -21 Does This Profession Also Favor Males Over Females?

Without noticing the strange expressions on everyone’s faces, Gideon Silva and his wife showed their urgency outwardly, “President Jiang, we really want to apologize to Master Jennings in person, can you let us meet Master Jennings?”

Luca Jennings opened his mouth as if he was in shock for a while, and said somewhat awkwardly, “Scarlett, she’s not here.”

Upon hearing this, Gideon Silva and his wife seemed flustered and repeatedly asked, “Has the master not returned yet? When will she come back?

Should we wait for her here?”

In the living room, an awkward glance passed over the faces of the Jennings Family members.

How were they supposed to tell them that Scarlett had moved out and certainly wouldn’t return today?

The Silva couple felt anxious, and seeing the Jennings Family not speaking made them even more anxious, “President Jiang!”

Just as Luca Jennings was about to speak, Donovan Jennings stepped forward, “Scarlett probably won’t come back today. Uncle Silva, Aunt Silva, if you’re in a hurry, I might contact Scarlett for you. If she’s available, I can take you directly to her.”

“That would be great.” Gideon Silva said, without any intention of politeness, “I’d appreciate it.”

Donovan Jennings nodded with a smile, then turned to make a phone call and returned quickly.

“Scarlett said she already knows why you’re here. She’s heading to the Silva Family home now; you can meet and talk directly there.”

Hearing that Scarlett was willing to directly go to the Silva Family home, Gideon Silva and his wife were overjoyed and didn’t bother with pleasantries, they prepared to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Donovan Jennings followed them out, “I’ll drive you two back.”

Gideon Silva understood that this was because Donovan was worried his sister might suffer a loss at the Silva home. Given Andrea’s urgent situation, he didn’t mind.

It wasn’t until the car slipped into the night that the Jennings Family realized what was happening.

“Are the Silva Family in such a hurry to find Scarlett because something happened to Miss Silva?” the third aunt from the third house inquired uncertainly, her tone filled with obvious concern.

Luca Jennings frowned, his expression grave.

“It should be an emergency.”

Moreover, it was very likely the incident Scarlett had predicted.

The villa area where the Silva Family lived was not close to the Silver River One, and it took more than half an hour to drive back to the Silva Family villa.

When the three arrived, Scarlett Garrison had just arrived at the door.

Seeing the girl dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, despite already knowing from his wife about the age of the Jennings Family’s recently found granddaughter, Gideon Silva felt uncertain due to her overly youthful and gentle appearance.

On the other hand, Mrs. Silva, no longer as polite and distant as before, looked at Scarlett Garrison with eagerness in her eyes.

“Master Jennings, I was rash regarding today’s matter, thank you for still being willing to come over.”

Since Scarlett Garrison had come over, she intended to help solve the problem, showing no arrogance at the moment, “Let’s go inside first.”

The Silva couple immediately led Scarlett Garrison inside without delay, explaining the situation today as they walked.

“Little Lili takes a walk every afternoon in the children’s play area of our community after her nap. Though the master clearly warned us this morning, it’s my fault for not taking it seriously then. I still let Little Lili go out in the afternoon, and on the way, she disappeared. Initially, I thought it was a kidnapping...”

“But in just about ten minutes, the security found her near the fountain. I thought it was just a false alarm, but after Little Lili returned home, she suddenly fainted and couldn’t be woken up. Even the family doctor couldn’t find out the cause...”

Mrs. Silva paused here, unable to hide the anxiety and sadness in her voice, looking at Scarlett Garrison again, “Later, the doctor couldn’t figure it out and prepared to send Little Lili to the hospital for a more detailed examination. Then, when carrying her, something dropped from her body.”

It was that very thing that led Mrs. Silva back to Scarlett Garrison.

It was the amulet left by Scarlett Garrison before she left. Initially, Mrs. Silva intended to have it thrown away, but unexpectedly, Little Lili found it fun and secretly picked it up and kept it on her.

The result was that this thing fell from her body, and Mrs. Silva and the servant initially didn’t know what it was, as it had turned into a piece of black ash. Strangely, despite being burned into black ash, it retained its original shape.

Later, the butler noticed and reminded her.

It seemed to be the amulet left by Scarlett Garrison before she left.

Because Scarlett Garrison’s amulets had a distinctive folding method, they were not hard to identify.

Later, Mrs. Silva had Little Lili’s body examined and found no signs of burns or injuries, only that the amulet, originally made of yellow paper, had turned to black ash.

Mrs. Silva was highly educated and a materialist, never believing in ghosts or gods, so she had no understanding of such matters.

It was Mrs. Silva’s mother-in-law who recently started believing in Taoism and understood some sayings, suspected that the yellow paper turned to ash because it blocked evil spirits, but Little Lili remained in a coma, indicating that the evil spirit was still there. Mrs. Silva’s mother-in-law then said they should invite a master.

Mrs. Silva only thought of Scarlett Garrison again at this time, worried she might hold a grudge for being driven out earlier and refuse to help, so she specially came to apologize.

For their daughter’s safety, the Silva couple no longer cared about pride.

Scarlett Garrison could see that the Silva Family’s concern for Andrea Silva came from the heart and rarely spoke words of comfort, “Rest assured, I said Miss Silva has a fate chart of prolonged fortune, even if there’s some loss now, it will not endanger her life.”

As Scarlett Garrison spoke, they had already walked up to the room on the second floor of the villa.

Opening the door, a flame shot straight toward them.

The Silva couple was suddenly startled, and Gideon Silva instinctively pulled his wife back, and Donovan Jennings at the back subconsciously tried to pull Scarlett Garrison behind him. However, before he could act, Scarlett Garrison raised her hand and waved.

The approaching tongue of flame immediately dissipated without a trace.

Before the Silva couple could be amazed at Scarlett Garrison’s action, they saw the scene inside the room clearly.

They saw, inside Andrea Silva’s room, that an altar had been set up sometime, and in front of the altar was a middle-aged man in a yellow Taoist robe, holding a peach wood sword, chanting something, and occasionally swinging the sword to slash in the air.

The flames from earlier were the result of his ritual.

Even though he suspected his daughter had encountered something unclean, seeing such an obviously bizarre scene still made Gideon Silva’s temples twitch involuntarily.

He turned his gaze to another old lady in the room and said helplessly, “Mom, what’s going on?”

Inside the room was the elderly Silva family member known to practice the faith. She looked rather plump and like a matriarch, hurriedly explaining to her son, “Wasn’t it said that Little Lili encountered something dirty? I asked someone to find a familiar master. Don’t worry, the master said there’s nothing major, once the ritual is done, she’ll wake up, maybe even become a bit smarter.”

Mrs. Silva felt a bit embarrassed, “Mom, didn’t I say we’d go invite the master with Yongming?”

Too many chefs spoil the broth, even if Mrs. Silva didn’t understand the Mystical Sect’s rules, she knew inviting multiple people wasn’t wise.

The elder Silva was nonchalant, “What’s wrong with having a few more people take a look? It’s not like for your dear child, I’d bother with this.”

Saying this, she glanced at Scarlett Garrison and Donovan Jennings beside Mrs. Silva with suspicion.

She recognized Donovan Jennings, the eldest grandson of the Jennings Family, so the so-called master couldn’t be him, which meant it was the little girl next to him.

She frowned slightly, “This is the master you found? Why, it’s just a girl?”

Her tone was full of disdain for the girl.

Scarlett Garrison raised an eyebrow slightly.

Why was it that even in this field, there was gender bias?
