Chapter 34: Chapter 34: From now on, I owe nothing to the Garrison Family Chapter 34 -34: From now on, I owe nothing to the Garrison Family At this point, who still didn’t understand what kind of family the Garrison Family was? The original sympathy and eagerness instantly turned into disdain and contempt.

Timothy Garrison and Isolde Garrison were nearly spitting blood on the side, utterly clueless about what had suddenly possessed their wife (mother).

Isolde Garrison’s tears started to fall as she tried to explain, “It’s not like that, my mom is just talking nonsense, we didn’t treat my sister that way...”

However, before she could finish, there was a mocking laugh from the crowd, coming from the girl in the black dress who had initially ridiculed her for thinking of herself as a princess, “Come on, your Garrison family’s schemes could be heard all the way to the Capital Metropolitan, and you’re still pretending?”

There were a few more snickers nearby, laughter filled with mockery and disdain. Isolde Garrison had never suffered such grievances from childhood, and without caring about Emma White and Timothy Garrison, she covered her face and pushed through the crowd, running outside.

Yet she hadn’t run far when she suddenly bumped into someone.

Due to the momentum, Isolde Garrison staggered a step and fell to the ground. She looked up instinctively, only to see, backlit, a tall and slender figure like pine and bamboo, exuding a chill all around.

Seeing the other’s face clearly, Isolde Garrison felt her heart skip several beats.

His features were sharply handsome, more imposing and colder than Donovan Jennings’s handsome demeanor. His dark eyes glanced at her so indifferently that they seemed to draw her in entirely.

Isolde Garrison sat on the ground, stunned, as she heard the surrounding soft whispers.

“Isn’t that Young Master Chalmers? It’s him, right? So intimidating.”

“I heard that Young Master Chalmers detests attending such banquets. Why is he here?”

“Oh no, is there anything wrong with my outfit today? Young Master Chalmers hates flamboyant dressing. I hope he doesn’t see it.”

Only then did Isolde Garrison realize that the person in front of her was Young Master Samuel Chalmers from another of the Four Great Families in Sea City.

Rumor had it that the Chalmers family’s young master was mysterious and disliked taking photos. There was little information about him and his pictures on social media.

Seeing him in person for the first time, Isolde Garrison felt that Lydia Patterson couldn’t even compare to this young master’s sleeve.

The scene right before her seemed like a moment from an idol drama where the male and female protagonists meet.

In the guest-filled banquet hall, she was like a helpless little white rabbit, while he was tall and imposing, standing under the backlight before her, as if ready to bend down and scoop her into his arms at any moment.

Imagining such a scenario, Isolde Garrison forgot her previous embarrassment and humiliation from wanting to flee and instead looked at him with shyness and helplessness. Seeing him finally raise his hand, she extended her hand toward him, thrilling in her heart.

Samuel Chalmers glanced at the hand and furrowed his brow deeply.

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, he would have taken off his jacket right then, which she had touched.

Suppressing his discomfort, he had just started to reach into his pocket for his handkerchief to wipe his jacket’s newly acquired scent when he saw her extending her hand toward him.

Did she twist her leg in the fall?

Did she expect him to pull her up?

His deep black eyes coldly swept over the diamond-studded manicure on her hand, and Samuel Chalmers frowned even more deeply, looking toward the waiting server, showing no hint of gentlemanly manner as he instructed, “Aren’t you going to help her up?”

The server was first stunned, then quickly reacted and hurriedly came forward to help, lifting Isolde Garrison, who was still waiting on the ground for a princely embrace.

Isolde Garrison: ???

That’s not how the plot goes!

Azura Loomis, who had been observing from the sidelines, flickered her eyes, clearly not expecting Samuel Chalmers to come personally.

But then, considering Samuel Chalmers’s relationship with Donovan Jennings, she calmed down.

Samuel Chalmers probably came for Donovan Jennings’s sake.

Then she saw Samuel Chalmers walk straight past Isolde Garrison, who was being helped up, and approach Scarlett Jennings, speaking briskly and plainly, “Congratulations, Miss Jennings, sorry for being late.”

Though just a few words, the single “Miss Jennings” publicly acknowledged Scarlett Jennings as the eldest daughter of the Jennings Family.

Samuel Chalmers represented the Chalmers Family. This acknowledgment meant that after tonight, no matter what other thoughts anyone at the banquet might still have about the Jennings Family’s eldest daughter, Sea City’s top social circle had to recognize Scarlett Jennings’s identity.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the dazzling figure before her with just a slight smile, “Not late, Young Master Chalmers, your timing is perfect.”

Saying this, she turned again to Timothy Garrison, her smile slightly restrained, her voice light and soft, “The Garrison Family raised me for eighteen years, costing no more than five million in total. Before this, I already transferred five million in nurturing fees to your account.”

Timothy Garrison’s eyes turned cold, while the nearby guests were in disbelief.

Five million was reasonable for raising a child in an ordinary family.

But among their crowd, five million was quite meager. Given the Garrison Family’s wealth, spending only five million on raising a child showed how they had begrudged her over the years. The looks directed at Timothy Garrison were now full of contempt.

Scarlett Jennings continued, her almond eyes firmly on Timothy Garrison, her voice steady and composed, “Moreover, I’ve already died once in Isolde Garrison’s stead. My debt of gratitude is repaid. From now on, I owe nothing to the Garrison Family.”

Timothy Garrison’s pupils shrank sharply, the muscles on his face twitching, unable to maintain a facade of falsehood.

Luca Jennings also felt a slight pain in his chest, realizing how much his daughter had suffered with the Garrison Family, and he solemnly echoed Scarlett Jennings’s declaration in a cold voice, “From today on, the children of the Jennings Family have nothing to do with the Garrison Family anymore. Considering you did raise Scarlett, the Jennings Family won’t act against you, but if the Garrison Family dares to flaunt our name in the future, don’t blame us for taking action.”

He coldly ordered, “Butler, see the guests out.”

Practically in disgrace, Timothy Garrison and Emma White were escorted out. As they passed by Scarlett Jennings, they heard her whisper in a voice only the three of them could hear, “I forgot to tell you, your fate swapping magic didn’t work at all.”

Emma White turned her head sharply, her face twisted in disbelief as she looked at Scarlett, her eyes full of denial.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t care whether she believed it or not, knowing they would soon, “The calamity that was supposed to come to Isolde will find her again, and if you want to save her, let Isolde bring Grandma’s bracelet and come to see me herself.”

Timothy Garrison eyed Scarlett Jennings coldly, while Emma White’s gaze was filled with malice.

However, before they could react, the butler had already firmly escorted them out.

The party continued.

Scarlett Jennings was personally led by Old Sir Jiang to greet several elders. Returning, she found Samuel Chalmers still hadn’t left, which surprised her.

freewebnovel.cσ๓ To be precise, his attendance tonight had caught everyone off guard.

Scarlett Jennings could tell that this Young Master Chalmers didn’t enjoy socializing at such events. Curious, she directly asked him.

Samuel Chalmers seemed to have anticipated her question, his phoenix eyes coldly scanning Donovan Jennings on the other side, his voice calm and deliberate as he said, “He said I should take responsibility for you.”

Scarlett Jennings had just picked up a glass of champagne and almost spilled it on him immediately upon hearing that.

She turned her head, her almond eyes slightly wide in disbelief as she looked at him, as if to ask.

What responsibility?

What do I need you to take responsibility for??
