Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Searching for Oliver White

The female employee looked at Chase on the ground with a complicated expression.

Scarlett’s gaze was much more direct, she had the look of someone watching a fool.

To avoid being influenced, Scarlett decisively separated from Chase after leaving the Security Bureau.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, the driver instinctively asked,

“Miss, heading home now?”

Scarlett thought for a moment and said, “Not yet, go to the White Stone Group headquarters first.”

White Stone Group, the White family’s base.

After learning the news from Kingston last night, Scarlett had already received Oliver White’s contact information from Donovan.

Since it was a personal matter, Scarlett originally intended to pay a direct visit to his home.

But Donovan said that Oliver White spends basically sixteen hours a day at the office.

As opposed to blocking him at home, it’s easier to meet him at the company.

The driver was naturally familiar with the White family and immediately started the car upon hearing the destination.

The car drove for more than half an hour, passing through North Hill Road.

This was the section where Scarlett did her last live broadcast, where the traffic cop asked for help concerning the Ghost father.

This road section was clearly being renovated; sitting in the car, Scarlett could still see a place on the roadside where various bouquets and toys were placed.

The driver told her,

“Miss, after the last episode aired and the news of the Ghost father was exposed, many people went online to buy things to pay tribute to the father and his child.

Many people come here daily to place offerings, sanitation workers only come by occasionally to collect them, it’s everyone’s token sentiment.”

When Scarlett stopped at a red light, she looked carefully and found that after that incident, the Ghost father had indeed not been led back to the Underworld.

He was still there.

And in the shadows not far from the offerings, he occasionally looked at the toys and occasionally at the cars passing on this road.

His surrounding Ghost Energy seemed peaceful, yet distinct from ordinary Wandering Souls and wild ghosts.

Has he turned into the wild Ghost Cultivator of this road segment?

Scarlett wasn’t particularly surprised, the authorities have always turned a blind eye to Ghost Cultivators who don’t possess Resentful Energy and don’t engage in malevolent acts.

Especially when the individual doesn’t wish to be reborn, the authorities can’t force them.

The driver said again,

“Even when it’s not rush hour, there are many cars on this road, but now with it being renovated, the situation is expected to improve soon.

It’s said the Transportation Bureau expedited the repairs after watching your show, Miss.”

Originally, there was a plan for renovation, but there are many places in the city that need construction work, so this road segment was waiting in queue.

But after the Inspiration episode was aired, there was a lot of discussion online and locally many people wrote to the Mayor’s office, leading to the fast-tracking of this renovation.

This is the significance of the Inspiration show.

Scarlett thought, once there are no more traffic jams here, that Ghost Cultivator father might find peace to finally let go and reincarnate.

…

The car soon arrived at the White Stone Group headquarters.

Scarlett walked into the building; the receptionist initially didn’t recognize her and politely stated that Vice President White cannot be seen without an appointment.

Scarlett was about to mention she had messaged Oliver White when another receptionist returned, and upon seeing Scarlett, her eyes brightened and she nudged her colleague,

“That’s the eldest daughter of Jennings Group! Just call the assistant’s room and inform them.”

Saying this, she looked at Scarlett with enthusiasm,

“Miss Jennings, please wait a moment, we will contact the assistant to come down and meet you right away.”

Scarlett nodded and was led by the speaking receptionist to a large sofa in the lobby.

Scarlett glanced at her, stopping her when she went to squat down to offer a magazine.

“There’s a red glow in your offspring’s palace, it’s not recommended to exert too much effort in early pregnancy.”

The receptionist was first taken aback, then her eyes widened slowly, unsure if it was joy or surprise, instinctively holding her stomach as she returned to the reception desk, dazed.

Her colleague had finished the phone call and searched for information on Scarlett, couldn’t resist quietly gossiping to her,

“So the Miss from Jennings Group is the famous little master from online? I heard she’s incredible! Do you think I can ask for a fortune telling? What did she just say to you?”

The receptionist looked at her colleague, took a deep breath after a moment,

“She said I’m pregnant.”

Colleague: …

A life-changing statement just as she opens her mouth, that’s uncanny!

“What to do? My boyfriend and I haven’t gotten the certificate yet! What about my job if I’m pregnant?”

The two receptionists were torn after Scarlett’s single remark, meanwhile, Oliver White’s assistant soon came downstairs, apologized while guiding Scarlett upstairs,

“I sincerely apologize, Vice President White instructed earlier that you would be visiting today, but I was too busy and forgot to prepare, sorry for the wait.”

Scarlett gave the assistant a long look without speaking, and upon entering Oliver White’s office upstairs, saw her buried in a document, when she saw Scarlett,

As if she suddenly realized,

“I forgot you said you were coming, have a seat and please wait for five minutes.”

After that, seeing Scarlett standing still and eyeing her assistant with a strange look, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Scarlett didn’t hide it, directly said,

“Your assistant has already taken the blame for you.”

Upon hearing this, Oliver White quickly understood the possible situation, looked at her assistant, nodded in acknowledgment, and then said,

“No need to do that next time.”

The assistant seriously replied,

“That’s part of my job duties.”

Part of the assistant’s duties, taking blame for superiors.

The smaller the matter, the more attention it requires.

After all, who knows if today’s visitor would be petty?

Scarlett pondered for a moment and somewhat understood, this is probably called… workplace culture?

Scarlett looked enlightened.

Oliver White waved to dismiss the assistant and suddenly glanced at Scarlett, then instructed,

“Warm up a cup of milk for Miss Jennings.”

Scarlett: …

If it weren’t for the seriousness of her tone, Scarlett would likely think Oliver White was making fun of her.

Kids drink milk.

“I don’t drink milk,” Scarlett said.

“Then what do you drink?”

“Milk tea, thank you.”

Oliver White’s eye twitched slightly, motioned to her assistant to prepare, then decisively put down the half-read documents, walked to the sofa, and directly asked Scarlett,

“Did you come specifically to ask about the person who sent you a gift?”

There wasn’t much interaction between the two families, Scarlett definitely wouldn’t come specifically because of the gift sent yesterday, so it must be for Mr. Wen.

Oliver White asked frankly, and Scarlett naturally didn’t beat around the bush, nodding,

“Yes.”
