Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: The Unlucky Second Aunt Luca Jennings originally had a sullen face because of Odessa’s words, having lived half a lifetime, it was the first time someone had leveled such an accusation against him.

He even already had countless unattractive outcomes prepared for her in his mind just now.

But Michael Jennings was quicker to act.

Also because of this reaction, Luca Jennings felt that this younger brother might still be redeemable.

If he had harbored even the slightest suspicion against his elder brother because of Odessa’s words just now, then his younger brother would truly be beyond saving.

Odessa did not expect that by merely misspeaking, Michael Jennings would actually consider divorcing her.

At that moment, disregarding the fiery pain on her face, she struggled to get up and plead with Michael Jennings.

But the fall just now seemed to make her already injured leg hurt even more.

"No, I don’t want a divorce! It hurts... Michael, my leg hurts so much... Michael, I didn’t mean it that way just now, I really..."

Odessa was so anxious that her jaw was about to cramp; now she really felt something was amiss with herself.

This feeling, as if the whole world was antagonizing her.

Even her own mouth was against her!

Where on earth had she brought bad luck upon herself!

A well-laid plan, yet it had turned out like this!

Seeing that Michael Jennings had already made a choice, Luca Jennings didn’t bother to continue staying in the private room watching her fuss, and was about to leave when an assistant pushed the door and came in.

As soon as Michael Jennings appeared in the private room and the incident happened, Luca Jennings had Assistant Lin clear the surrounding area immediately.

After all, with such a disgraceful scene, even if the private room’s sound insulation was adequate, he was worried it would be overheard and leaked out by someone.

Later, Assistant Lin even had other assistants stand guard outside.

The assistant who came in was holding a mobile phone, which still displayed the familiar live broadcast room interface, and as he approached, he whispered to Luca Jennings, "Fifteen minutes ago, Miss Scarlett suddenly asked the program staff for leave and left, and the assistant in charge of following Miss Scarlett said she was on her way here."

Luca Jennings, who had barely reacted to Odessa’s sudden "confession" just now, slightly changed his expression when he heard these words.

Turning his head, without caring about Odessa and Michael Jennings still entangled there, he gave Michael Jennings a stern, unequivocal order, "Settle this matter within ten minutes, and don’t let me hear half a word about today’s private room from her mouth, publicly, it should only be due to personality clash that you decide to divorce."

This kind of disgraceful matter, must absolutely not sully Scarlett’s ears.

There was already a misunderstanding about the elite circle from the outside, if Scarlett found out his troublesome romantic issue was actually Odessa, a sister-in-law, she might think their family was as messy as the other disreputable families.

This was something that Luca Jennings absolutely could not permit.

Perhaps his gaze was too fierce and intimidating, Michael Jennings subconsciously agreed.

Seeing this, Luca Jennings did not continue to stay there; he planned to go up to the presidential suite upstairs to change his clothes before Scarlett arrived.

Even though there had been no contact at all with Odessa, he felt that his body was still tainted with that filthy fragrance, and he had to change.

While removing his coat, Luca Jennings subconsciously touched the Anti-backstabbing Talisman in his inner pocket, and unexpectedly touched a handful of Talisman ash.

It seems that he was indeed lucky not to be affected by the incense, thanks to the Talisman given by Scarlett.

He didn’t know where Odessa got hold of such things.

Thinking of that woman, Luca Jennings’s face darkened even more.

...

By the time Luca Jennings had straightened up, Scarlett Jennings really had arrived.

Seeing his daughter, Luca Jennings felt somewhat unnervingly uneasy, "Didn’t I tell you not to come over, Daddy has already handled everything."

It was embarrassing enough for a man of his age to be singled out by his daughter for having a troublesome romantic issue.

If Scarlett knew that this trouble was Odessa, he felt like he could not face Scarlett.

Now he just hoped that Scarlett wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

"I’m not at ease."

Scarlett Jennings said indifferently, and although her emotions did not show on her face, it somewhat comforted Luca Jennings internally.

Compared to their first meeting a few months ago, Luca Jennings could clearly feel that Scarlett had essentially accepted him as her father.

Although she’s not expressive, she really does care about him deep down.

Indeed, daughters are different from sons.

Thoughtful.

Unlike Donovan Jennings, who hasn’t even made a single phone call since the incident.

Donovan Jennings in Sea City, still oblivious: ???

Luca Jennings casually said a few words to gloss over the matter.

Since Scarlett couldn’t divine the fate of her close relatives, she couldn’t see Luca Jennings’ facial features very clearly, only managing to guess the true situation based on the color of his brow.

Seeing that the dark pink color indicating rotten romantic entanglements had indeed faded almost to invisibility, she confirmed that Luca Jennings had truly resolved the issues.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of rotten romantic entanglement and backstabber could penetrate the Jennings Family’s fortunes and target Luca Jennings.

But seeing that Luca Jennings had no intention of going into detail with her, Scarlett didn’t ask further.

Luca Jennings then took Scarlett downstairs to the restaurant for lunch.

They had planned to send her back to the show’s team after lunch.

But unexpectedly, just after their meal and upon entering the elevator, they happened to bump into Michael Jennings and Odessa inside.

Luca Jennings’ face darkened once again.

Michael Jennings, upon seeing his niece, felt a mix of surprise and awkwardness. Faced with Luca Jennings’ murderous gaze, he could only force a smile at her and feigned nonchalance, "Scarlett’s here too, huh?"

Noticing the smile on Michael Jennings’ face, Scarlett raised an eyebrow covertly, "Uncle Mike is here as well?"

"Yes, yes, your aunt Odessa got hurt filming a variety show here, so I came to see her."

As Michael Jennings spoke, he stealthily glanced at Odessa.

Odessa had clearly tidied herself up, and although her eyes flickered with an indistinct dark light upon seeing Scarlett, the deadly stares from Luca Jennings and Michael Jennings kept her from saying too much in front of Scarlett.

Who knows how Michael Jennings communicated with her, but for the moment, she seemed to be behaving.

Scarlett’s gaze quickly scanned Michael Jennings and Odessa’s faces as they entered the elevator, sensing something unexpected.

The couple’s palaces on both Uncle Mike and Odessa’s faces seemed to be on the verge of parting, yet they were only breaking and not completely darkened, which meant it wasn’t due to death.

This couple was getting divorced.

And now, as the four of them stood in the elevator, Scarlett could vaguely see hints of dark pink mixed with grey on Odessa’s body, similar to her father’s.

The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!

Chapter 340: I Have the Final Say on This Matter In a flash, Scarlett thought she guessed the situation.

Her father’s rotten romantic entanglement and backstabber was Aunt Odessa...

If that was the reason, it would explain her father’s tight-lipped attitude before, as well as the imminent separation in Uncle Mike and Odessa’s Couple’s Palace.

Although she’d guessed the truth, Scarlett didn’t show it.

Clearly, her father didn’t want her to know about this matter; she might as well pretend to be oblivious.

After all, speaking the truth out loud was indeed repulsive.

But thinking of another matter she had spied on Uncle Mike and Odessa’s faces just then, Scarlett felt necessary to add something more.

"Aunt Odessa really has been plagued with bad luck recently. If you don’t want to continue being unlucky, you might consider doing more good deeds."

Odessa was well aware of her misfortunes, and couldn’t help but scoff upon hearing this, "I’m already this unlucky, how much worse could it get?"

She was about to get divorced!

"Didn’t you know? When a person’s fortune is too low and the bad luck too severe, it can affect the people close to them."

As she spoke, Scarlett gave her a cool glance and slowly added, "Especially... children."

Upon hearing this, both Michael Jennings and Odessa felt a jolt of fear.

Just as they were about to ask further, the phones of both Michael Jennings and Odessa suddenly rang at the same time.

The abrupt ringtone in the small elevator space sounded urgent and grating.
