“Mr. Oscar, they…” Vilhelm began to say something, but the middle-aged man interrupted him.
“Alright. Enough talk, bring Jennifer out. Since we’re friends, we should show some hospitality,” the middle-aged man exclaimed.
“Understood. I will personally go and invite Ms. Jennifer, Vilhelm nodded and left.
The middle-aged man then approached Jared with a slight smile. “I’m truly sorry. These servants don’t understand proper etiquette. My name is Oscar Summers, and my brother is Tyler Summers. Since you know my brother, you are our guest. May I know how to address you?”
Jared’s initial doubts were somewhat dispelled by Oscar’s enthusiasm and politeness.
“My name is Jared Chance, and this is my friend Cloud Seizon. And this is Catina,” Jared introduced.
Oscar laughed heartily. “No introduction is needed for her. She’s the renowned Fox Queen. I’ve heard of her long ago.”
While Jared engaged in sporadic conversation with Oscar, Jennifer arrived.
“Mr. Chance, how come you’re here?” Jennifer was surprised when she saw Jared.
“I was passing by and thought I’d pay a visit to Mr. Summers,” Jared explained.
After hearing Jared mention visiting her father, Jennifer’s expression subtly changed, but quickly returned to a smile after glancing at Oscar.
“Jennifer, since they’ve come to visit Tyler, you should entertain them. Remember to be a good host,” Oscar advised before leaving with his people.
Shortly after Oscar left, Jared turned to Jennifer and asked, “Ms. Summers, has something happened to your family?”
Jennifer was momentarily taken aback, then shook her head. “No, nothing, Mr. Chance.
Please, come with me.”
Jennifer led Jared and the others to her chambers.
However, Jared had already noticed the changes in Jennifer’s facial expression.
Upon arriving at her quarters, Jennifer invited Jared and the others to sit down and personally attended to each of them.
As Jared watched Jennifer bustling about, his brows slightly furrowed.
“Mr. Chance, is there no one to attend to Ms. Summers? Does she have to do everything herself?” Cloud asked curiously, recalling his own experience as a young master.
Catina also found it odd. “I find this Jennifer somewhat strange.”
However, Jared remained silent, continuously observing Jennifer. After brewing coffee for Jared and the others, Jennifer brought it over.
“Mr. Chance, please have some coffee,” Jennifer spoke politely. Jared nodded, took a sip of his coffee, and then asked, “Ms. Summers, is it true that the head of the Summers family is in seclusion?”
Jennifer let out a sigh and nodded. “Yes, he is.”
“Since the head of the Summers family is in seclusion, then we…” Jared wanted to excuse himself and leave. After all, Tyler was in seclusion, and Jennifer’s demeanor seemed off. Jared didn’t want to stay any longer!
Before Jared could finish his sentence, Jennifer interjected, “Mr. Chance, are you all planning to leave? Since my father is in seclusion, I won’t keep you any longer.”
To Jared’s surprise, Jennifer was actually driving them out.
Regardless, Jared had been a great help to the Summers family during the Celestial Battlefield, and he had even saved Jennifer. No matter what, it was impossible for Jennifer to send Jared away. However, now she had done just that, leading Jared to believe there must be a reason behind it.
“Ms. Summers, I didn’t say I’m leaving. I meant I want to stay here for the night and get some good rest!”
Jared changed his mind and decided to stay at the Summers residence.
“Mr. Chance,” she said, “my father is in seclusion. As a young lady, it’s not really appropriate for me to host you overnight. I think it’s best if you leave.”
To everyone’s surprise, Jennifer, with an urgent expression, took the initiative to drive Jared away.
