Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Three Million Service Fee Chapter 26 -26: Three Million Service Fee “Miss Silva was originally destined for a long and prosperous fate, but when someone swapped her intelligence as a child, it changed her current circumstances, which in turn altered her fate,” Scarlett patiently explained again to the Silva father and son, adding, “Actually, I came here before to deal with returning Andrea’s intelligence.”

Madam Silva, however, couldn’t hear the rest of her explanation, nodding hurriedly and speaking in a trembling voice.

“Yes, yes, Master Jennings said so, I-I forgot at the time.”

As she spoke, she suddenly grasped Scarlett’s hand, her eyes turning red, her face filled with excitement.

“Master Jennings, does that mean...if we retrieve her intelligence, my Little Lili will be like a normal person?”

“That’s right.”

The moment those words fell, they saw Madam Silva’s tears stream down again, and Gideon Silva alongside Bryson Silva displaying an expression full of excitement.

Excitement mixed with a bit of guilt.

Master Jennings was such a good person, he came over specifically to help, and in return, he was driven out of their home.

Not only was he driven out, but because Little Lili suddenly fell into a coma, they even called and scolded President Jiang.

Yet the master didn’t hold grudges; as soon as he heard something had happened to Little Lili, he rushed over.

The Silva Family felt utterly ashamed.

It was the kind of shame and regret that made them want to set an alarm every night to wake up and slap themselves.

“Thank you, thank you, Master Jennings, truly thank you...” Madam Silva was so emotional she was sobbing uncontrollably.

For so many years, she’d already given up hope.

She had made up her mind long ago; even if Little Lili remained this way for life, she would take care of her forever.

But the words from the Patterson Family today had indeed hurt her deeply.

Just because her child was different, people assumed she didn’t care and tried to exploit her.

Madam Silva truly felt a bit broken.

But now, Master Jennings said her Little Lili could recover.

She could still grow up like a normal person...

Scarlett, having seen how Madam Silva once forsook her image in fierce defense of her child, now witnessed her tearful excitement, and felt a subtle stir within her.

A mother’s love for her child, she had never experienced, and perhaps never would.

But seeing Madam Silva, she vaguely understood what kind of emotion it was.

Her lips slightly curled, and Scarlett waited calmly for the Silva Family to settle their emotions before she suggested leaving.

After the chaotic night, it indeed was getting late.

Gideon Silva calmed down and returned to his composed and steady manner, asking again about today’s payment.

Fair is fair, today Master Jennings saved their child; their family must show sincerity.

This would also leave a good impression and make it easier to retrieve Little Lili’s intelligence in a couple of days.

Talking about payment, Scarlett stood up a little straighter.

Finally time to get paid.

Normally she would charge thirty thousand per intervention, but considering the effort spent breaking the life-extending technique and the jade token that cracked while blocking spells, Scarlett thought for a moment and seriously showed Gideon Silva three fingers.

Three hundred thousand.

“Three million, no problem.”

Gideon Silva nodded without hesitation, taking out his phone for an immediate face-to-face transfer.

Scarlett was stunned at first, and by the time she realized, the phone showed a deposit of three million.

Looking at the string of zeros confirming the amount received on the phone, Scarlett’s almond-shaped eyes slightly widened, swallowing hard before looking up again with a calm expression.

“In three days, I will return to retrieve Miss Silva’s intelligence.”

On the surface, Scarlett maintained a composed demeanor, but deep inside, she was elated.

Three million, she was rich!

Taking initiative really paid off.

Hopefully, she’d get more cases like this so she could quickly gather the funds needed for the support owed to the Garrison Family.

Thinking about being able to completely sever ties with the Garrison Family from all aspects soon, Scarlett’s steps out the door were noticeably lighter.

Donovan Jennings had long noticed her little expression of joy when she saw the money in the account, smiling deeply but not exposing the little money-grubber.

Seeing her current demeanor, it was clear she had already forgotten the day’s unpleasantness at the Jennings’ house.

Upon contemplation, his eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly spoke.

“Scarlett, I’m sorry.”

Scarlett tilted her head to look at Donovan, only to hear him say, “Even though I saw your skills in exposing Lady Wu before, I wasn’t completely convinced you could handle the Silva Family matter. So when our father didn’t let you get involved with the Silvas, I didn’t speak up—for that, I apologize as your brother.”

While speaking, he looked at Scarlett, his eyes brimming with a gentle smile, “But now I’m sure, my sister, you are truly remarkable.”

Hearing Donovan’s apology and praise, Scarlett’s eyebrows arched with evident happiness.

Seeing her pleased, Donovan’s heart softened as well.

But thinking of Scarlett’s skills, it seemed he needed to seriously revise his plans for her future.

He initially thought she was short on money.

Now watching her rack up three million in one go, he realized his narrow-mindedness.

However, while his sister could earn, he couldn’t skip out on giving pocket money as an older brother.

Reflecting on the thirty thousand he gave yesterday suddenly felt paltry.

So after sending her back to the apartment, Donovan turned around and transferred another three million.

Scarlett, having just redirected one and a half million elsewhere, was about to set her phone down when it alerted her of another three million coming in.

Scarlett was bewildered.

How did the money she just sent double and come back?

Did her master secretly dispatch some ghosts to bring her wealth?

Upon closer inspection.

Oh, it was from her brother.

With such a generous brother, it seemed she still wasn’t earning enough.

...

The Silva Family.

After seeing off Scarlett and Donovan, and tucking Andrea into bed, Gideon Silva finally relaxed with his wife.

Only after settling down did they recall what had happened today at the Jennings’ house.

The behavior of the Jennings Family seemed a bit peculiar.

“I noticed Master Jennings doesn’t seem to live with the Jennings Family. Weren’t they just reunited with him?”

“The Jennings family is complicated, and I doubt life is as easy for Master Jennings there as outsiders think.”

“But he’s the Jennings’ biological child, found with much difficulty. How could they bear to let him suffer?” Madam Silva’s tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction; she now held Scarlett in the highest regard, especially after hearing Scarlett could help Little Lili recover.

Gideon Silva shook his head, “The Jennings’ family affairs are beyond our intervention as outsiders.”

Pausing, he squinted slightly, “However, if the Jennings Family realized Master Jennings’s true capabilities, they might have regrets.”

Not just the Jennings Family, but the Garrison Family that raised Master Jennings.

Although he hadn’t deliberately inquired, he heard about the Jennings retracting their project with the Garrison Clan.

Having raised a Jennings child could have lifted the Garrison Clan to great heights, but the two families had no interaction, which was highly intriguing.

“No matter what happens with the Jennings, our family must never disrespect Master Jennings in the future.”

Master Jennings was a benefactor to their family.

Anyone who opposed Master Jennings opposed the Silva Family.

Madam Silva wholeheartedly agreed, “I heard the Jennings Family is preparing a welcome banquet for Master Jennings, so I’ll bring a generous gift when I attend.”
