Dashiell’s words immediately drew the gazes of Donovan Jennings and Lucas Jennings toward Azura Loomis, with Lucas’s eyes registering disbelief.
Azura’s face changed as well, showing an expression of fright,
"Dead, dead people’s hair?! How is that possible?"
Her reaction was so swift and clearly appeared to be one of being startled, leaving people unsure whether she had known beforehand.
"You didn’t know?" Lucas couldn’t help but ask.
Tears welled up in Azura’s eyes, and her voice trembled slightly, "If I knew, how could I keep such a doll at home?"
As she spoke, she seemed unwilling to give up and questioned Dashiell,
"Could you have been mistaken? I had this doll custom-made at a famous studio, how could they use dead people’s hair?"
Hearing her doubt his words, Dashiell snorted, "The smell of dead people’s hair is different from that of living people’s, how could I be mistaken?"
Azura finally seemed to believe him and looked at the doll with a bit of fear in her eyes.
Lucas, observing her reaction, couldn’t help but self-doubt for a moment, wondering whether he had gotten too used to thinking ill of Azura.
Instinctively, he looked at Donovan, who then coolly said,
"Since you didn’t know, it must be the studio’s problem. Give me the studio’s name, and I’ll have the doll examined and ask the studio for clarification. There should be records of the customization requirements at the time."
Azura’s hand hanging by her side clenched secretly, but when she looked at Donovan, tears fell down,
"Brother Donovan, don’t you believe me?"
Donovan smiled at her, as usual, "Since something unclean has entered the Jennings Family, I naturally need to investigate it thoroughly."
He spoke and seemingly intentionally paused before adding,
"Don’t worry, it’s not aimed at you."
Azura felt a chill run down her spine, barely able to control her expression.
At this moment, Luca Jennings’s deep voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
It was clear he had been woken by the commotion, and along with him, Adam Jennings and Odessa also arrived.
Azura’s emotions froze upon seeing them; she first looked at Odessa and then quickly turned away as if trying to hide something, wiping her tears hurriedly.
Odessa naturally didn’t miss this action and immediately came in,
"What’s wrong with Azura? Why is she crying?"
Then she looked at Donovan and the others, puzzled, "Did you bully her?"
"How could we bully her?!"
Lucas couldn’t hold back and retorted first, "She placed a doll made with dead people’s hair in the house, and we simply asked her a few questions, and she started crying herself!"
Lucas realized something immediately after saying this.
Yes, he and Brother Donovan hadn’t said much, so why was she crying as if they bullied her?
Adam and Odessa’s faces slightly changed at the mention of dead people’s hair, but Luca remained relatively calm, only looking at Azura,
"Azura, is what Lucas said true?"
Upon hearing this, Azura looked terrified and shook her head vigorously,
"I didn’t know, I didn’t know it was dead people’s hair. If I knew, I absolutely wouldn’t have bought it. Uncle, please believe me..."
As she spoke, she also gave a command to the system in her mind, and in the next moment, Odessa couldn’t help but cry out,
"Azura! You’re bleeding!"
