Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Garrison Family Estrangement
Chapter 72 -72 Garrison Family Estrangement
Josiah Garrison really couldn’t take it anymore.
If earlier he had only endured some mental torture in his dreams, this time he had genuinely had “intimate contact” with the other side.
The mere recollection of that cold, stiff sensation covering his mouth sent shivers down his spine, a feeling that lingered for a long time.
Thinking of this, Josiah Garrison finally made up his mind.
…
Hospital, VIP ward.
Isolde Garrison stared at Josiah Garrison in disbelief.
“Brother, you want to take this Jade Token?”
Josiah Garrison’s usually handsome face now showed clear fatigue, but when faced with Isolde Garrison’s hurtful gaze, he tried to soften his tone,
“Isolde, something happened at home, so I’m just temporarily taking back the Jade Token. Once things settle down, I’ll return it to you.”
Isolde Garrison frowned but before she could speak, Emma White already interrupted,
“Josiah, you know how unlucky Isolde has been lately, and it all depends on this Jade Token for protection. If you take it away now, aren’t you risking your sister’s life?”
Josiah Garrison said, “Mom, how could I not care about Isolde, but I really have a problem right now, you know that!”
Emma White was unconvinced,
“Didn’t we already hire a master to catch ghosts at the house? If one doesn’t work, then hire another until we find someone genuinely skilled, but your sister is in such a state that she can’t handle any more accidents, Josiah, please think about your sister.”
Isolde Garrison listened to Emma White’s words and looked pitiably at Josiah Garrison,
“Brother, do you not care about me anymore?”
Josiah Garrison was slightly annoyed; if it was about anything else, he would concede.
After all, she was the sister he doted on since childhood.
But now, it was a matter of his life!
“I’m not taking it away permanently, just borrowing it for a couple of days. Once we hire a master, I’ll give it back to her!”
Annoyed, Josiah lost the patience in his voice that he once had.
Isolde Garrison immediately lowered her head, looking wronged and sad.
Emma White felt even more heartbroken.
Timothy Garrison was the company head; the family and the company relied on him, and nothing could happen to him, so his Jade Token couldn’t be taken.
But both her son and daughter were equally precious.
Emma White didn’t love her son any less, but her daughter’s condition was more severe at the moment.
Not to mention, her own state hadn’t been well these past two days.
If she could, she’d want a Jade Token to protect her, too, but there wasn’t one!
“Josiah, why don’t you think of another way? Stay at a Taoist temple for a couple of days, seek a peace charm? If not, ask Scarlett Jennings for a couple of Jade Tokens?”
Emma White thought it was just right to ask for one more herself, momentarily forgetting how she had promised Isolde to help her accuse Scarlett Jennings of fraud earlier.
Isolde Garrison immediately protested upon hearing this,
“Mom! Scarlett Jennings made my life miserable, and now everyone’s still scolding me online, how can you still think of going to her?! Did you forget you promised to help me sue her?”
Josiah Garrison was just about to go ask again if need be, but hearing Isolde’s words, he frowned immediately,
“You’re still planning to sue her? Isolde, don’t you know the situation at home now?! We might still need her help to solve some problems, and if you sue her now, aren’t you pushing her to completely oppose our family?”
Josiah Garrison’s tone was somewhat sharp, and Emma White immediately became dissatisfied,
“Why are you being harsh on your sister? She doesn’t want this either, isn’t it Scarlett Jennings who started harming her first?”
Josiah Garrison sneered,
“She’s heartless? Could it be that because the family plotted to switch her Fate Chart first?
If the family had taken good care of her instead of plotting against her, with her abilities now, I don’t believe she couldn’t help Isolde and the family.”
Emma White, hearing these words, looked incredulous,
“Are you blaming me now??
That girl waited quietly, knowing we wanted to alter her Fate Chart, until today when she finally acted. She has scheming intentions.
I’d say she learned all those geomancy sage skills just to deal with our family, and you still think she’ll sincerely help us?!”
Isolde Garrison heard this and looked pitifully again,
“Mom, don’t say anymore, it’s all my fault, I’m the one who caused trouble for the family, boohoo…”
Seeing this, Emma White quickly turned to comfort her again.
Josiah Garrison was already annoyed, being haunted by a ghost; he didn’t have the patience to coax his sister anymore, so he turned around impatiently and left without looking back.
Seeing his attitude, Isolde Garrison started crying even harder.
…
Let’s not dwell on how the Garrison Family was at odds over the distribution of the two Jade Tokens.
Over at Scarlett Jennings’s place, she had just rearranged her room properly, only then remembering the infant spirit still floating around.
After thinking about it, she decided to take it to see Delilah Woods one last time.
But as soon as the car drove out of Silver River Court, someone suddenly blocked it.
Raising her eyes, she saw it was Lydia Patterson, who had been scolded by her earlier.
Lydia Patterson had a car accident on his way home after breaking up with Isolde, spent a few days in the hospital, and although discharged, his arm was still in a sling.

Standing in front of the car with his injuries now, he looked somewhat pitiful.
“Scarlett! I have something to say to you!”
The driver, hearing Lydia’s call, instinctively turned to ask the person in the back, “Miss, this…”
“Don’t mind him, just drive on.”
Scarlett Jennings felt she had nothing else to say to Lydia Patterson, so she wasn’t about to get out of the car to listen to his nonsense.
The driver, understanding Miss’s attitude, gestured for the villa complex’s security to pull Lydia aside and was ready to restart the car.
Lydia Patterson tried to shrug off the security guard, but someone like him couldn’t possibly escape the Silver River’s guards. Seeing the car about to leave, he didn’t care about maintaining the dignity of the Pattersons and shouted,
“Scarlett! I already broke up with Isolde Garrison, what more do you want me to do? Scarlett! I don’t believe you haven’t any feelings for me!
If you genuinely disliked me, why did you chase after me every day?!
Scarlett Jennings, you started this! Now you want to dump me with just one word?! Or do you look down on everyone now that you’re a Jennings’ daughter?!”
His voice was loud, and a discreet Maybach preparing to exit paused slightly. Inside the car, the driver quietly suggested,
“Mr. Chalmers, that seems to be a Jennings family car ahead.”
Samuel Chalmers, sitting in the back seat, lifted his gaze slightly. His dark eyes were indifferent and calm as they landed on the scene ahead.
Just in time to catch Lydia Patterson’s entanglement.
Thinking of the young Jennings girl, Samuel Chalmers’s face remained unchanged as he instructed, “Noisy, have security deal with him.”
The driver was a bit surprised his boss would bother with such trivial matters, so he was about to signal the security.
Before he could, the Jennings car up ahead suddenly halted.
Shortly after, the driver waved Lydia Patterson over.
The security guard let go of Lydia, who quickly ran to the back seat of the car.
He bent down to speak to someone in the back seat, and then the boy had a satisfied smile before getting into the back seat.
The car drove off in a flash.
The Chalmers driver was stunned, cautiously turning to look at his boss.
Samuel Chalmers, who had apparently witnessed the scene, had eyes dark and unreadable, but eventually there was a hint of mockery, only for a moment, before it turned indifferent once more,
ordering in a cold voice,
“Let’s go.”
