The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Adam Jennings Goodwill Value Decreases by 10 Points

Azura Loomis, who was sitting on the ground, was originally covering her forehead and crying. Upon hearing the conversation between the others, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and looked up, speaking in a tearful voice,

"Brother Adam, you misunderstood, this, this was my own fault, not the fault of the little fox that caused me these scratches..."

Before she finished speaking, Lucas Jennings interrupted her, a bit angrily,

"If it wasn’t the fox that scratched you, why were you just saying it’s not to blame?!"

At the same time, the system in his mind gave an instant broadcast.

*[...Lucas Jennings’ Goodwill Value dropped by 12 points, the current Goodwill Value is 47 points.]*

Azura felt her heart tremble, and just as she was about to explain further, Adam Jennings impatiently spoke up,

"Alright, let’s get a doctor to treat the wound first. Azura’s wound needs immediate attention."

Lucas saw the blood from Azura’s forehead already trickling down her face, which indeed looked frightening. He couldn’t be bothered to argue further with her, but in his heart, he was convinced she wanted to frame Scarlett’s little fox on purpose just now.

*[...Lucas Jennings’ Goodwill Value dropped by 5 points, the current Goodwill Value is 42 points.]*

Azura felt a twinge of pain at the loss of Goodwill Value, but she could not show it and had to maintain a sorrowful and pitiful expression.

Donovan Jennings didn’t look at her again, instead hugging the little fox and silently scanning Azura’s doll room.

The little one had appeared to sense danger just outside the door moments ago, so why had it calmed down after entering?

He intuitively felt that something was off here.

On the other side, Adam first had the butler bring gauze over to stop the bleeding. The family doctor came over shortly after, looked at the wound, and had a slightly serious expression,

"The wound is quite deep, we’ll need to use a wound closure device."

Knowing she was an important distant niece to the Jennings Family, the doctor reassured her, "Don’t worry, applying this doesn’t hurt, and it won’t leave a scar."

The doctor, speaking, first cleaned Azura’s wound, disinfected it, stopped the bleeding, and quickly used the closure device to seal the wound edges.

Before long, the wound was treated properly.

Donovan escorted the doctor out, and Lucas was nowhere to be found, leaving only Adam in the room at this moment.

Azura looked at Adam; her eyes were still a bit swollen from crying, making her look pitiful.

"Brother Adam, you guys misunderstood me earlier. I was just startled when it suddenly pounced on me, combined with the pain from the forehead wound, that’s why I..."

"Got it, you don’t need to explain." Adam forced a comforting smile, but his tone did not reveal much emotion.

Hearing his words made Azura suddenly feel joyous, wanting him to explain to Donovan and Lucas for her. Unexpectedly, she once again heard the system’s voice in her mind.

*[...Adam Jennings’ Goodwill Value dropped by 10 points, the current Goodwill Value is 75 points.]*

Azura: !!!

The feelings were more suffocating compared to the 17-point drop from Lucas earlier.

*She didn’t understand!*

*Hadn’t he believed her?*

*Why did the Goodwill Value still drop?!*

*Did he merely say he believed her, but actually did not in his heart?!*

*How could this be?!*

"Brother Adam... do you... not believe me?"

More than grievance, Azura’s voice was so light it seemed she was probing.

Adam looked at her, his eyes complex, but he didn’t directly answer her question,

"You’ve been hurt, so just focus on resting for now. There’s less than a month until school starts; you can’t start the term with a scar."

It was as if Adam’s words reminded her, Azura’s pupils suddenly constricted.

The initial unease swiftly shifted to the potential predicament she might face after school began, and her face turned pale.

*How... could this be?*
