Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Don’t Go to High Places freeweɓnovēl.coɱ Chapter 44 -44: Don’t Go to High Places Jennings Family.

Scarlett Jennings was carefully wiping the bracelet she had finally gotten back from the Garrison Family when her phone, placed by the table, suddenly rang.

She saw the caller ID and was surprised to find it was a high school classmate she hadn’t contacted in a long time.

Scarlett Jennings answered the call and heard a slightly anxious voice on the other end, “Hey, Scarlett Garrison, it’s me. Are you in Sea City now? I had a car accident and I’m in the hospital, plus my family has frozen my card, can you come over and help me pay a bill? Please.”

Scarlett Jennings didn’t say anything and just listened to the person on the other end.

That end seemed a bit guilty, “We were classmates, don’t tell me you’re not even going to help with this? Hello? Scarlett Garrison, are you still listening?”

“I heard you,” Scarlett Jennings said, “but please tell that Mrs. Garrison by your side that if she wants to see me, she should ask Isolde Garrison to come find me herself instead of using these underhanded methods to trick me into visiting her at the hospital.”

After saying this, she hung up the phone without a second thought.

Her classmate was dumbfounded, and even more so was Emma White beside them.

“How did she know I asked you to make the call?!” Emma questioned the person, “Did you hint to her?!”

Classmate: What the hell is this weird situation?!

What Emma White didn’t know was that ever since Scarlett Jennings learned Mystical Technique, her hearing had become more sensitive than the average person’s.

Just now, she hadn’t spoken because she heard Emma White whispering to the person on the other end.

She could understand why Emma White borrowed someone else’s phone to contact her, given that she had already blocked all contact from the Garrison Family.

But what she couldn’t understand was why they were always so high-handed in ordering others around.

Even now, when they needed her help, they still had to play such tricks to get her to meet Isolde Garrison.

Ha!

No way, they can go to hell.

After carefully storing the bracelet, Scarlett Jennings finally got up and went downstairs, ready to head to her rental to fetch some materials to make something.

Once she got to the second floor, she found Lucas Jennings also preparing to head downstairs.

Evidently, Lucas had stayed up last night playing video games; his dark circles were obvious, and he looked a bit haggard. However, when he saw Scarlett Jennings, he still huffed at her lightly and turned to go downstairs.

But to his surprise, Scarlett Jennings suddenly called out to him.

“Wait a minute.”

Lucas was surprised to be called by her, thinking she might finally want to thank him. He turned with a slightly smug expression, “What’s up?”

In game voice chats with others, he easily picked up various regional slang not common to Sea City but only dared to use them privately, never in front of Old Sir Jiang.

Scarlett Jennings just looked at him and said, “Today, don’t go meet that online friend, and definitely stay away from high places.”

Hearing this, Lucas just thought she was nuts, huffed again, “Mind your own business!”

With that said, he stomped down the stairs.

Scarlett Jennings watched the young man’s back, thinking of the dark aura she just saw floating between his brows, she thought to herself she’d already warned him.

If the young man wanted to court disaster, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Downstairs, Lucas was still muttering about how strange Scarlett Jennings was when he saw Azura Loomis walk over, “Lucas, what’s up?”

“Nothing, just a pest.”

He glanced at Azura Loomis and asked, “Azura, you’re heading out?”

“Yeah, I have a meeting with an online friend today.”

Hearing “online friend,” Lucas instinctively recalled what Scarlett Jennings had just said and found it oddly coincidental.

How did Scarlett Jennings just mention it, and now Azura was going to meet an online friend?

Though he didn’t believe in Scarlett Jennings’s words, he had a strange intuition and subconsciously said, “There are lots of scams online nowadays. Azura, you’re a girl, it’s not good to casually meet online friends.”

Azura Loomis laughed, “Lucas, you’re very cautious, but don’t worry, this online friend is reliable. You know him too, it’s that Spring from the game.”

Lucas was stunned; he remembered this Spring, someone with a cute voice like a little girl, probably around his age.

Because he liked to play games, Azura sometimes joined him and they teamed up with this Spring.

“Why did you guys suddenly decide to meet up?”

“There’s nothing to do during the holidays, so we arranged it,” Azura said, suddenly seeming to remember something, “Why don’t you come with me, Lucas!”

Lucas: “Uh, uh?”

Azura Loomis smiled gently, “Didn’t you say it’s not good for a girl to meet online friends alone? If you come with me, I won’t be alone, plus you know Spring too.”

Lucas frowned, wanting to say he’d rather not go, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Scarlett Jennings already downstairs listening to their conversation, and she gave him a look that seemed both a reminder and a warning.

Suddenly feeling stubborn as if he had something to prove, Lucas changed his mind, “Alright, I’ll go with you!”

“Then go change your clothes quickly, I’ll wait for you.”

“Okay...okay,” Lucas agreed, turning and giving Scarlett Jennings a provocative glance.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t be bothered to look at him and just walked toward the entrance.

Chapter 43 A Jade Token I Have One Too Azura Loomis seemed to have just noticed her and softly greeted, “Scarlett, are you heading out too? Why not wait a bit, and I’ll have the driver give you a lift?”

Lucas, who was just about to go upstairs, paused when he heard this, finding something odd about it but not being able to pinpoint what felt strange.

He instinctively glanced at Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings only gave Azura Loomis a slight look and said, “No need.”

Then she went straight to the entrance to change her shoes, giving an extra glance at a certain pair of limited-edition sneakers in the shoe cabinet before leaving.

Azura Loomis watched her, her once gentle eyes now tinged with a bit of mockery.

Shortly, Lucas changed his clothes and came downstairs hastily, still looking not quite alert, and, seeing Scarlett Jennings had left, couldn’t help but say to Azura Loomis, “Azura, why don’t we just not meet today? Let’s reschedule with her another time.”

Azura Loomis looked puzzled, “We’ve already arranged it; how can I go back on my word? Besides, didn’t you just say it was dangerous to meet online friends alone?”

Azura Loomis appeared to chide then took his arm, “Come on, just think of it as keeping me company. You’re cooped up at home all the time, you’re going stir-crazy.”

Lucas could only be reluctantly led out by her.

While changing his shoes, he vaguely felt something was off about their fit today compared to usual, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

He was sure Scarlett Jennings’s mumbo jumbo had made him paranoid.

Her words couldn’t be trusted.

Well...at most, he’d just avoid high places today.
