The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The Jennings Family Matriarch Returns

Donovan Jennings brought Scarlett Jennings home, and it was already evening.

Upon entering, they found that the household had unexpectedly gathered quite completely.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t believe it was to welcome her return.

Not to mention, even the second uncle who seldom stayed at home and Brianna Jennings had come back, clearly indicating something significant was happening.

Or perhaps, it was because of an important person.

Donovan seemed to have guessed something. Just as he was about to check the group messages he had previously ignored, he didn’t get the chance; a familiar and somewhat aged voice reached them,

"Ah Donovan, you’re back."

Donovan and Scarlett looked up to see Azura Loomis pushing an old lady with sharp eyes and brows towards them.

Chase Jennings, who was originally sent away to Tong City, had also returned and was following beside Azura Loomis, looking somewhat awkward and downcast.

The old lady was of similar age to Old Sir Jiang and though she was seated in a wheelchair, she was dressed with elegance and luxury. She looked at Donovan with a somewhat tender expression but when her gaze turned to Scarlett, it contained a scrutiny filled with dissatisfaction.

Scarlett vaguely guessed the identity of the woman.

Sure enough, Donovan nearby softly addressed the lady, "Grandma."

He then asked, "When did you get back?"

"I arrived in the afternoon. Azura missed me, and personally went to the sanatorium to pick me up," the old Mrs. Jennings said with a smile in her eyes, affectionately pulling at Azura’s hand that was holding the wheelchair.

Azura also smiled along, her voice turning a tad more delicate,

"I missed you~"

Scarlett subconsciously looked towards Azura.

She had heard from Donovan before that Azura had cut a large gash on her forehead, but now it seemed her forehead was smooth and clean, without a trace of a wound, not even a scar visible.

How much time had passed for it to have healed completely?

While Scarlett was observing, Donovan also seemed quite surprised at Azura’s appearance.

Before he could think more, he heard the old Mrs. Jennings say,

"I wanted you to pick me up, but I heard you went to pick up someone else. Why did you return so late?"

This "someone else" was obviously Scarlett.

Scarlett’s almond-shaped eyes lifted slightly, sensing that she was the subject at hand.

Donovan heard the underlying sarcasm in old Mrs. Jennings’s words, paused slightly in expression, but soon smiled, leading Scarlett forward with the same gentleness in his voice,

"I was handling something with Scarlett. Grandma, you haven’t met her yet, right? This is Scarlett, my sister."

Old Mrs. Jennings still had some smiles for Donovan, her eldest grandson, but when her gaze met that of Scarlett, it clearly cooled down significantly. She narrowed her eyes now, giving Scarlett a brief, indifferent glance,

"Now that you’ve returned to the Jennings family, you should act in the manner befitting a Jennings family young lady."

Upon hearing this, the greeting of ’Grandma’ that was on the tip of Scarlett’s tongue she didn’t bother to utter it anymore.

She simply stood there, not offering a proper response.

The old Mrs. Jennings noticed her disrespectful attitude and was just about to say something.

That’s when a small white fluff wearing a floral dress darted over, scrambling straight to Scarlett’s feet, and without a second word started to climb up.

Scarlett was startled for a moment but still instinctively reached out to hold the little fox.

Her action was natural, but took old Mrs. Jennings aback.

The sudden appearance of the chubby fox startled old Mrs. Jennings, her eyes wide open with an involuntary expression of disgust.

Scarlett suddenly remembered that when she first got the fox, she was told old Mrs. Jennings did not like pets with fur.

Subconsciously, holding the pretty little creature, she stepped back.

However, the other members of the Jennings household instinctively held their breath.
