Chapter 737: Chapter 737: The Bride’s Family Has Arrived
Although Scarlett Jennings promised it would think of other ways to get it out of the Wood Pattern Turtle’s body, the system still fell into self-isolation.
Not just self-isolation, it was also very frustrated!
Because she was thinking of changing its body, Scarlett Jennings didn’t send the little Crocodile Tortoise back.
The result was that every time the tyrant turtle saw the system, it would chase it to bite.
The system was this close, just a little bit away, from deciding to run away from home.
But soon, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t care less about comforting the system.
Because Magnolia Hearne’s return banquet was here.
It was even more solemn than Scarlett Jennings’ previous banquet, with distinguished guests from Sea City attending.
But at that time, more young people came to help her integrate into the upper circles of Sea City’s elite families, while this time, it was more of a gathering of the ladies.
Scarlett Jennings was a little curious, as from her past understanding of her master, she might not necessarily enjoy such social engagements.
But to her surprise, Magnolia Hearne handled it with ease.
When people complimented her, “Mrs. Jiang is well-maintained, looks just thirty. Now that you’re back, President Jiang must cherish you.”
Magnolia Hearne smiled, “Mrs. Lin, you haven’t changed much since I last saw you, I recognized you at a glance.”
When people inquired, “Where has Mrs. Jiang been all these years? We’ve all been thinking about you.”
Magnolia Hearne looked touched, “That’s thoughtful, I’m also very happy to see so many old friends again.”
In fact, these people had been seeing her in the otherworld as well.
A few of them were even her key clients!
So when Magnolia Hearne said she recognized them at a glance, it was no lie.
Because of this, Magnolia Hearne seemed completely at ease seeing so many people again, adding that it was her home ground, she was more than relaxed.
Scarlett Jennings accompanied Magnolia Hearne to greet a few elders and then slipped away on her own.
Seeing Alicia Sharp waving at her from the other side, she was about to go over, halfway through, she caught a glimpse of a flash of golden light from the corner of her eye.
Without hesitation, Scarlett Jennings waved at Alicia Sharp and then turned her steps, heading straight out of the banquet hall towards the garden gate.
Sure enough, she met a walking burst of golden light head-on.
Rarely, he was accompanied by two others.
Scarlett Jennings took a closer look, only to find that it was Oliver White who had arrived.
The future heir of one of Sea City’s four great families, the White Family.
Although the White Family head had not officially acknowledged it, it was already a fact in Scarlett Jennings’ mind.
“Sister Oliver.”
Scarlett Jennings lifted her dress, approached, and greeted her, “You’re here.”
Oliver White had previously attended her birthday party to deliver a gift on behalf of Cassian Wolf, but this time she was clearly representing the White Family.
Seeing her voluntarily call her sister, Oliver White was visibly pleased and glanced at Samuel Chalmers beside her, saying,
“We just ran into each other at the door, looking at you, you’re not here specifically to greet me, so I’ll go inside first to say hello to your father.”
With that, she waved her hand and walked inside on her own.
Leaving her and Samuel Chalmers, their eyes met, and Samuel Chalmers slightly bent his arm, concisely saying,
“Let’s go in together.”
Although Scarlett Jennings felt this was somewhat ostentatious, she did not hesitate to take his arm.
After all, they were now officially an engaged couple.
As expected, when the two walked in arm-in-arm, they attracted a lot of attention.
The younger generation was amazed, while the elder ones were more inquisitive.
Everyone knew Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers had acknowledged their relationship online.
But since they hadn’t formally held an engagement party, most people didn’t really consider them an engaged couple.
More importantly, the union of the Jennings and Chalmers families was a significant affair.
In a corner, some inevitably felt a little envious, and couldn’t help but whisper,
“Mrs. Jiang sure is lucky, born ordinary, yet got a billionaire husband, an excellent son, a famous and capable daughter, and even a future son-in-law as remarkable as Samuel Chalmers…”
Not to mention the next ten years, in the next thirty years, no one might have luck as good as hers.
Someone next to them snorted softly,
“With such fortune, she also stayed outside for eighteen years, who knows what kind of life she lived out there~
A great husband and children, but after so many years apart, they might not really be close to her.”
In their hearts, they thought, so what if she’s back, no matter how harmonious they seem now, it’s just a superficial act.
She abandoned her children for so many years, such a long estrangement couldn’t be mended easily.
With these thoughts, they saw Ismeria Jennings coming down the stairs, holding her little dress, followed by Pretty Hamilton in a beautifully designed, high-tailored pet skirt.
The two little ones ran straight to Scarlett Jennings and asked,
“Sister Scarlett, do we look pretty?”
Scarlett Jennings didn’t hesitate to praise, “You do look pretty.”
Ismeria Jennings immediately looked delighted, suddenly noticing Scarlett Jennings’ neck, and asked, a bit aggrieved,
“Sister Scarlett, why aren’t you wearing the necklace I gave you? It’s a set with my bracelet and Pretty’s crown!”
Before Scarlett Jennings could reply, Magnolia Hearne came over, naturally taking Scarlett Jennings’ arm, and said quite boastfully,
“It’s because Scarlett is wearing jewelry that matches mine today.”
She gracefully showcased the high-end jewelry both were wearing.
“This is a customized mother-daughter jewelry set that Ahua specially commissioned.”
Donovan Jennings stepped forward with a smile upon hearing this,
“As long as Mom and Scarlett like it.”
Magnolia Hearne promptly responded, “I really like it.”
Scarlett Jennings seriously added, “I like it too, thank you, brother.”
People around watched this affectionate interaction between the three and felt envious.
Judging by their closeness, who could see they were a mother and children reunited after eighteen years apart? As for Luca Jennings, just by the way he gazed at Magnolia Hearne all evening, it was clear there was no estrangement, but love.
The ones who whispered earlier couldn’t maintain their composure for a while, but they still held their ground,
“It’s all just a facade.”
Even if those two kids weren’t estranged from her, they still had an edge over her, which was their family background.
In terms of origin alone, Logan could never compare to them.
With these thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter outside.
Everyone instinctively looked out the large windows towards the garden, only to see a small helicopter slowly landing on the Jennings Family’s lawn.
Everyone was astounded.
It’s not that they couldn’t afford helicopters, but… who attends a banquet with such a mode of transport?!
Where on earth did this flashy arrival come from?
They saw that after the helicopter landed, the hatch opened, and someone stepped out from it.
Standing at nearly 1.9 meters tall, he still appeared towering beside the helicopter.
Though dressed in a sharp suit, even from afar, his aura was formidable.
Not to mention, just as he disembarked the helicopter, a group of people in formal Zhongshan suits entered through the main door in unison.
Each one held an exquisite gift box, and after entering, they automatically stood behind the man.
Uncle Ming, the butler, despite being stunned by the sudden appearance of this group, promptly stepped forward to courteously inquire,
“May I ask who you are, sir? Are you also attending tonight’s banquet?”
“Yes.” The man responded coldly and said,
“I am the elder brother of your great lady, Logan Wolf.”
