Even though he knew he couldn’t replace it with a new one now, Sebastian Carew didn’t regret it.
While it wasn’t used on himself, at least it saved someone.
Evander Simpson mentioned this just as a reminder.
For these celebrities without spiritual power, even with an amulet, they shouldn’t be the first to rush in when situations arise, much less think they’re invincible because they have an amulet in hand.
Especially since that female ghost likely only intended to scare that boastful Mrs. Garrison and wasn’t planning to kill her, otherwise, the amulet wouldn’t have made today’s incident so simple to resolve.
Due to Timothy Garrison, the production team was already starting to withdraw.
Sebastian and the other guests, along with the host, followed the flow outside, preparing to wrap up this episode perfectly at the entrance.
As they neared the door, they suddenly heard a voice from behind, followed by a thud and an "ouch."
Because each guest’s cameraman was walking ahead of them to film, they managed to capture the scene happening behind the guests.
Viewers in the livestream only saw Isolde Garrison maneuvering her motorized wheelchair as if she were chasing after them from the entrance.
Going down the ramp was smooth, but as soon as she got onto level ground after the stairs, the wheelchair seemed to hit something and tilted to the side.
Isolde Garrison ended up sprawling on the ground, looking utterly embarrassed.
Even though the production team was aware of what this young Garrison princess had done before, they couldn’t ignore someone falling down in front of them, so a staff member immediately went over to help her up.
Isolde secretly blamed her current misfortune, which caused her frequent embarrassments in front of the camera, to the point where even her once-doting mother and brother started having issues with her.
Just as the staff helped her back into her wheelchair, another distinct hand reached over.
That hand picked up a familiar piece of jade from the ground.
Seeing the jade token, Isolde instinctively touched her neck and realized it was bare, her expression changing at once.
She wanted to snatch the jade token back from the other’s hand, but recognizing who it was made her hold back.
Isolde looked at Sebastian Carew before her, her heart pounding wildly.
She had merely wanted to speak a word or two with Sebastian when she chased after him earlier.
It wasn’t because of his celebrity status, but more due to his roots in the Capital Metropolitan’s Carew Family.
Although her father hadn’t said anything, she knew business at home had taken a hit lately. If she could connect with the Carew Family, her father would undoubtedly view her more favorably and value her even more.
Thinking of this, she looked up with a delicate, pale face, her voice intentionally soft and sweet,
"Mr. Carew, thank you for saving my mom earlier. If not for you, she might really have been in danger..."
As Isolde spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears, and her voice choked up.
Ariel Zimmerman, watching from the side, secretly curled her lips but held back from speaking out, aware of the cameras recording.
Faced with Isolde’s weak and pitiful appearance, Sebastian Carew’s expression didn’t change much.
He had encountered plenty of veteran actors who put on better performances than this.
Yet Sebastian didn’t bother to expose her, only responding blandly, "You’re welcome."
Saying that, he was about to return the jade token in his hand.
Only as it passed over, looking at the craftsmanship on the jade token, he couldn’t help but ask,
"This jade token is Grant’s work, right?"
He had some interest in jade artifacts and had recently become quite fond of the master’s works, quietly collecting several of Grant’s carvings, but it was his first time seeing a jade token with engravings.
Isolde, hearing him initiate conversation, felt delighted but choked when she heard him ask about the jade token.
She didn’t know any Grant.
This jade token was obviously that bitch Scarlett Jennings’ doing.
If not for the jade token’s effects, she would never wear something made by Scarlett Jennings.
Catching a glance at Scarlett Jennings nearby, Isolde vaguely replied,
"This was given to me by my brother, probably not the Grant you mentioned..."
Not wanting to give Scarlett Jennings any credit in front of the cameras, and having no intention of acknowledging the jade token, Isolde naturally muddled its origins.
Yet, to her surprise, Sebastian seemed more convinced of his guess,
"The patterns on this token really resemble Grant’s style, though the master’s works rarely involve engraving, so I took a closer look. It’s a shame this token has cracks now..."
As Sebastian spoke, the photographer had already stepped forward to capture a close-up of the jade token.
Thus, in the livestream, Donovan Jennings, Luca Jennings, and Lucas Jennings instantly recognized the token as one of Scarlett’s creations by reflexively touching their own tokens.
Scarlett Jennings’ jade token, how did it relate to that Grant?
Moreover, why did that name sound vaguely familiar?
Unbeknownst to them, over in another room of the Jennings family mansion, Adam Jennings felt somewhat excited when he heard Sebastian’s statement.
He knew about Sebastian’s habit of collecting jade sculptures and had seen some of his shared collections, making him almost unquestioning of Sebastian’s claim that it was a Grant piece.
And where exactly Josiah Garrison got that jade token remained unknown.
Not to mention, the token seemed oddly familiar?
On the other side, Evander Simpson also moved in for a closer look at the so-called jade token, finding the name Grant strangely familiar too.
Upon looking, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This jade token is an amulet!"
Though called an amulet, it leaned more into the realm of magic artifacts.
Evander, unusually excited, carefully asked for permission and then took the token to examine more closely.
He didn’t understand craftsmanship or engraving techniques, but this jade token, whether in terms of the spiritual energy it emitted or the Taoist runes inscribed on it, clearly indicated it was a protective jade token crafted by an adept.
"This truly is a protective jade token, unfortunately, it’s been used many times, and the spiritual power on it has begun to dissipate."
Evander pointed out a crack on the jade token, "Look, it’s already starting to crack."
Evander speculated it might be related to being worn by Isolde Garrison, probably due to the backlash Scarlett Jennings mentioned from her fate chart.
However, this was beyond his capacity to deal with, so he didn’t inquire further and returned the jade token carefully to Isolde, offering a piece of advice,
"In truth, young Jennings was right, relying on external protection is not a long-term solution. It’s better to accumulate good deeds."
Isolde’s face almost turned black.
Scarlett Jennings mocking me in front of the camera, and now you’re doing the same as some random little Taoist.
If it weren’t for the cameras, who knows she might have shot a fierce glare at this inconsequential little Taoist.
