Otherworld, Jennings Family.
Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne stood outside the Jennings Family villa, from a distance, they could see a figure walking past the villa window.
Scarlett Jennings looked at Magnolia Hearne, "I finally understand how you got in."
When the security guards had thrown them out earlier, saying her mother often sneaked in, she had been curious.
She had lived with the Jennings Family for half a year, and knew how tight the security in the villa district was.
Considering Magnolia Hearne had sneaked in before and had been caught, it should be difficult for her to get in again.
Yet she had managed to do so.
Until today, they had been picked up and driven into the villa by a car sent by another family in the district, finally answering Scarlett Jennings’ doubts.
"When you developed the people here as target customers, was this the reason?"
"That was part of the reason, yes."
Magnolia Hearne said with a smile, her lips concealing a trace of melancholy,
"But after watching for so many years, I’ve seen enough."
Scarlett Jennings looked at the hint of melancholy in her eyes, paused, and only asked,
"You said before you’ve been in the Otherworld for eighteen years, becoming deeply entangled with this world, fearing you couldn’t go back with us...
Now that you’ve finished all final dealings with everything in the Otherworld, can you return?"
That day she asked her mom if she was hiding something from her, and her mom later gave her this answer.
So after resolving matters with Greta and Jasmine Hamilton, she accompanied Magnolia Hearne to many places.
These places were traces of where her mom had lived in this Otherworld.
They were also connections they were trying to sever one by one.
Seeing Magnolia Hearne open her mouth, likely worried she would say something unpleasant, Scarlett Jennings hurriedly added,
"Dad and brother are waiting for you to return, too."
She said,
"They have always missed you, and if they could see you, they would be very happy."
Magnolia Hearne pursed her lips at these words, seemingly thinking of the two, and after a moment, gave a radiant smile,
"I miss them too."
Miss them very much.
The two stood for a long time again in the small woods outside the Jennings villa before finally heading towards the villa district’s gate.
What they didn’t know was that shortly after they left, a figure stood quietly at the window of the Jennings Family Head’s study, only turning away after a long pause.
There, as Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne reached the door, the head security guard immediately approached with a stern face, just about to reprimand them, when Magnolia Hearne spoke first,
"Security officer, don’t bother reprimanding me, I won’t be coming again."
She said, "This time... is the last time."
Hearing this, the security officer pursed his lips, ultimately holding back any reprimand, only saying dryly, "You better keep your word."
Magnolia Hearne silently bid farewell to the security officer in her heart, then followed Scarlett Jennings back.
Scarlett Jennings had already shown Magnolia Hearne the Jade Bennett she had brought along.
When Magnolia Hearne saw the Jade Bennett, she was a bit surprised,
"This Jade Bennett seems familiar to me, but it might just look similar..."
She asked Scarlett again, "Are you sure you can use it to reopen the portal to the Otherworld?"
Scarlett Jennings said,
"We have to try. When I came, I used a Water Tornado and a Turtle System as keys to open the passage. By this logic, to open the passage again, we must use water and something from the original world."
Things from the original world, they all were, and that wasn’t a concern for her.
