Chapter 496: Chapter 496: North Spirit Stone, Samuel Chalmers’ North

On this side,

Scarlett Jennings eventually decided to temporarily place Sophie Harper at the Chalmers Family.

Fortunately, she was indeed injured this time and didn’t come out after entering the Gathering Shadow Array drawn by Scarlett Jennings in the corner of the study.

Araminta Gold tilted her head and watched the array from the outside for quite a while, finally turned away in boredom and tucked herself back into Samuel Chalmers’ pocket.

Samuel Chalmers saw she was done and wanted to continue the previous topic with her, but just then the steward came over, a hint of regret on his face,

“Miss Scarlett… Donovan Jennings has come to pick you up.”

Scarlett Jennings was taken aback and instinctively glanced at the clock on the wall, only to realize that in that brief moment, time had almost reached eleven o’clock.

For Donovan Jennings, who always required Scarlett Jennings to be home by ten, this extra half hour was probably the limit.

She went downstairs with Samuel Chalmers, and they both saw Donovan Jennings sitting in the living room at a glance. He was dressed in casual sports attire, looking at Scarlett Jennings with a smile in his eyes, his voice warm and pleasant,

“I was passing by for a night run, heard you were here, so I came by to pick you up.”

As he spoke, he turned to Samuel Chalmers, his voice slightly cool,

“It’s almost eleven, didn’t the young Chalmers have anything else to do?”

Samuel Chalmers: …

“No,” Samuel Chalmers said, then turned directly to Scarlett Jennings, “Get some rest early.”

Scarlett Jennings nodded, was about to say something, but Donovan Jennings promptly pulled her towards the door.

Scarlett Jennings turned back to wave at Samuel Chalmers, then followed Donovan Jennings to the door, suddenly remembering something, she let go of Donovan Jennings and quickly ran back,

“I really like this gift, I want to name it North Spirit Stone, what do you think?”

North, as in Samuel Chalmers’ North.

Samuel Chalmers’ dark eyes moved slightly, looking at Scarlett Jennings in front of him, then his brows gently curved, his voice very soft,

“Alright.”

Scarlett Jennings smiled, then finally left the Chalmers Family with Donovan Jennings.

As they walked back, in the distance, Samuel Chalmers still heard Donovan Jennings ask,

“What Spirit Stone?”

Scarlett Jennings replied, “The gift Samuel Chalmers gave me.”

“Can I see it?”

Scarlett Jennings opened the box containing the pendant for him to take a look.

Donovan Jennings glanced at it briefly, then said indifferently, “Nothing particularly special.”

Just a somewhat attractive stone?

“It’s very special,” Scarlett Jennings explained, her expression serious.

Donovan Jennings didn’t argue with her, following her lead he added,

“Even if you have established a relationship, don’t stay too late at others’ places, it’s impolite.”

He paused, then mumbled in addition, “Also easy to get taken advantage of.”

Scarlett Jennings seemed to catch the underlying message in Donovan Jennings’ words and just said, “I won’t.”

If it comes down to it, she feels Samuel Chalmers has been taken advantage of more in her case~

Conversing as they walked, soon they were back at the Jennings Family.

Fortunately Chase Jennings hadn’t thoughtlessly come to block her again, or else…

She might consider locking him back in the doll.

Although Azura Loomis’ original doll had already been destroyed, there are plenty of places that can incarcerate a living soul.

For example…

She feels the robotic vacuum on the first floor would be quite suitable.

Pushing Chase Jennings’ matters aside, Scarlett Jennings attempted to set up a searching array.

Though she didn’t know what kind of background Ava Zimmerman’s Evil Master had, nonetheless… the ghost that hurt her, this matter can’t be let go just like that.

Unfortunately, by the time Scarlett Jennings tracked the scent of the black mist from last night, the Evil Master and his black mist were already long gone.

The rental apartment was left with only an unremarkable Azura Loomis.

But Scarlett Jennings wasn’t anxious, since Ava Zimmerman wants to replace Azura Loomis’ face, that Evil Master will definitely appear again.

All she could do was wait.

Despite this, Scarlett Jennings still drew a sensing talisman for Ava Zimmerman and was pondering how to quietly place the talisman beside Ava Zimmerman when suddenly the little baby spirit fluttered over with its chubby legs.

Sophie Harper had been nourishing her soul at the Chalmers Family these past two days, and with the little baby spirit having not seen its big ghost sister for a day, it was evidently a bit lonely. Knowing the big ghost sister had been hurt by bad people, it promptly volunteered, pointing at itself.

It can help too.

Scarlett Jennings gave it a glance, lightly brushed it aside, “Be good, no need for you.”

The pushed aside little doll stubbornly fluttered back in front of her again, continuing to use its chubby hand to point at itself, then hesitated before pointing at Scarlett Jennings’ phone.

Offering assistance.

Scarlett Jennings was struck by its gesture, suddenly blinking as she looked at the little baby spirit,

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

She could have the little baby spirit help find people from the web domain.

Last time she had Sophie Harper take the little baby spirit to search the web domain for people, though the commotion was somewhat large, the effects were quite good.

However, Scarlett Jennings was reluctant to use this method, as the web domain is a person’s utmost privacy.

Using metaphysics to spy on others’ privacy, strictly speaking, is considered a violation.

Scarlett Jennings thought it over, self-convincing,

“But I’m doing this to find someone, so it doesn’t count as peeking at privacy.”

Besides, the little baby spirit is just a kid, it doesn’t understand what privacy is.

With this thought, Scarlett Jennings was instantly convinced by herself, yet recalling last time’s events, she didn’t forget to remind the little baby spirit,

“After finding the person, only search her phone for messages related to that Evil Master, don’t mess with other stuff, especially don’t link her phone messages with the web domain of a region.”

The little baby spirit nodded obediently, Scarlett Jennings continued to advise it to be cautious not to show itself recklessly, and immediately return from the web domain side if anything seemed amiss.

After adding a layer of protective assurance on the little baby spirit, Scarlett Jennings finally used talisman paper to send it into her phone.

Soon, the little baby spirit followed Scarlett Jennings’ phone to trace the network on Ava Zimmerman’s phone, then began rummaging through the messages online.

In a short while, Scarlett Jennings received various message pages sent back by the little baby spirit on her phone.

Because the little baby spirit was still small and hadn’t formally studied, it could understand very little, so any hint of a differing aura that it detected was pulled back.

Scarlett Jennings had to sift through the messages it brought back, and only when she finally found useful information did she notify the little baby spirit via sensing communication,

“That’s enough, come on back.”

The little baby spirit immediately obediently returned through the network, but when passing through the intricate web domain, the little fellow’s round little head suddenly tilted.

As if sensing a familiar aura, it made a detour midway and ventured into another web domain.

…

In the east of the city, inside a small cozy bakery.

Delilah Woods sat in front of the oven waiting for the bread to bake, while she took out her phone to search online for news related to Micah Quigley.

Since Micah Quigley’s high school bullying of Isolde Garrison had been exposed, there had been many voices criticizing the two families on the internet, especially since Micah Quigley had been involved in raping a minor, and after she reported it, he was directly detained.

And yesterday, this case finally went to trial, with the help of the Jennings Group’s legal team, Micah Quigley was directly sentenced to eight years in prison.

Although the Quigley Family was still demanding an appeal, Delilah Woods felt her heart regained stability upon seeing the verdict.

Master Jennings got five million from the Garrison Family later all gave it to her, she insisted on keeping only three million, plus the compensation paid by the Quigley Family.

She and her mother bought a small two-bedroom apartment in the east of the city, and used the remaining money to open this bakery.

Now, she was finally about to begin her new life.

The only debt she has, is to… that child.

Her child.
