Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 198 Both a Warning and a Reprimand

Mr. Jenkins Senior saw the name and quickly patted his precious granddaughter Reese Jenkins, who was lying on his lap. "Sweetie, wake up. I need to take a call." Reese Jenkins didn't understand why, but despite her princess-like arrogance, she was extremely polite. She stood up, wiped away her tears, and sat next to her mother. Mr. Jenkins Senior went to his study and quickly answered the call with a trembling voice, "Miss."

Lela, the chief female disciple of the divine doctor Valley.

The Jenkins family had been poisoned years ago, resulting in the deteriorating health of all its members. Despite seeking medical help in various hospitals, including gastric lavage and detoxification, their condition only worsened. Desperate, the Jenkins family paid a large sum of money to beg for help from the Valley's master.

Every year, the divine doctor Valley only gave out no more than twenty keepsakes. Only those who possessed this keepsake could pay a large amount and get a chance to be saved. Initially, the Jenkins family had lost hope, but they were unwilling to accept their fate. With all their remaining strength, they came to seek help at the foot of Silvercrest.

Inside the divine doctor Valley, there were countless mechanisms and traps. One wrong step could mean certain death.

Unexpectedly, Lela took pity on them and sent someone from the divine doctor Valley to lead them inside, saving the lives of dozens of members of the Jenkins family.

Until now, the Jenkins family remained grateful. If it weren't for Lela from the divine doctor Valley, they would have already been wiped out.

Despite several years having passed, Mr. Jenkins Senior still remembered the magnificent appearance of the master of the divine doctor Valley, and the skilled acupuncture techniques of Lela. However, Mr. Jenkins Senior was unaware that Lela was merely practicing her skills at the time.

But the Jenkins family were grateful and remembered this favor for a lifetime.

The Jenkins family had been following the master of divine doctor Valley since then.

"Mr. Jenkins, how have you been in recent years?" Lela's voice, though still somewhat immature, had matured compared to before and had lost the haughty arrogance of her childhood.

Mr. Jenkins Senior was taken aback and quickly replied, "Very well, everything is good. How is the Master of divine doctor Valley doing?"

Lela did not answer this question but got straight to the point. "I want to make a move against the Stewart family. The Jenkins family ought to stay neutral."

It was both a warning and a reprimand.

When Lela laid eyes on Reese Jenkins for the first time, she recognized her immediately. However, Reese Jenkins was unconscious at the time, along with most members of the Jenkins family. After they had recovered, she did not appear again. Aside from Mr. Jenkins Senior, there were only a few among the younger generation of the Jenkins family who could recognize her.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jenkins Senior's face darkened.

The fact that the Stewart family had not only offended him but also dared to offend the young master from the Jenkins family, whom they had valued a lot, was truly courting death.

In the Jenkins family mansion,

Mrs. Stewart had already arrived by carriage and was being led in by the butler.

Reese Jenkins was sitting beside her mother, with Mr. Jenkins comforting their daughter by her side.

As soon as Mrs. Stewart entered, all eyes turned towards her.

Reese Jenkins pursed her lips and remained silent.

Mrs. Jenkins looked at Mrs. Stewart indifferently. "Mrs. Stewart, why have you come so late?"

Upon entering, Mrs. Stewart immediately lowered her status and accompanied her words with a smile. "Reese, brother Jenkins, to be honest, I came here to explain. Reese, Victor couldn't possibly have done such a thing. You've known him since childhood, don't you know his character? Victor was always good-looking and had countless girls chasing after him, but he never even glanced at another woman."

Mrs. Stewart knew that Reese Jenkins was the favorite daughter of the Jenkins family and if she wanted to make a breakthrough, she could only target Reese Jenkins. Moreover, Reese Jenkins was only a junior in college, young and easy to manipulate.

It would definitely work to arouse her feelings.
