The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: You, with a face of misfortune

Old Sir Jiang did not look at Mrs. Jiang; his deep and insightful eyes turned towards Scarlett Jennings, his brows and eyes carrying his usual gentleness, "This matter concerns you, and of course, you can make your own decision."

The Jennings Family owes this child too much; for the past eighteen years, the Jennings Family hasn’t helped her at all.

She got to where she is on her own, raised herself to be outstanding, and possesses such extraordinary abilities; what right does the Jennings Family have to make decisions for her?

Hearing Old Sir Jiang’s words, the frustration in Scarlett Jennings’s heart, originally stirred by Mrs. Jiang, eased somewhat.

A family always needs a patriarch who speaks reason.

Otherwise, she would really turn around and leave.

Mrs. Jiang seemed surprised that Old Sir Jiang was actually protecting Scarlett Jennings so much, her heart filled with dissatisfaction, and she was about to say something more.

But she saw Old Sir Jiang’s eyes sweep over her, his expression still gentle, though his tone was somewhat detached,

"You’ve just returned, don’t get alarmed by every little rumor you hear and scare the child."

Azura Loomis’s hand gripping the wheelchair tightened slightly.

She was the one who had gone to pick up Grandma; if Grandpa said that Grandma was alarmed by rumors, wasn’t he suggesting she had said something bad in Grandma’s ear?

She wanted to explain, but she also knew that her own little tricks were nothing in front of Old Sir Jiang.

Not daring to rebut, Azura Loomis simply hung her head lower, silently upset.

Chase Jennings has always cared about her feelings, and naturally, he noticed Azura Loomis’s grievance immediately, a flash of distress in his eyes as he spoke up,

"Grandpa, it was I who told Grandma about Scarlett attending the Taoism Academy, which is not really a secret. Her attending that school..."

Upon hearing the way he started speaking, Scarlett couldn’t help but feel around in her pocket.

Tsk, she didn’t have a Silence Talisman on her.

What a pity.

Adam Jennings, watching her subtle movement from the side, subconsciously shrank his neck.

That look in Scarlett’s eyes just now seemed very familiar to him.

It’s the same expression she had right before she placed a silence spell on him last time.

Uh... it’s just that she didn’t look very patient.

Fortunately, before even Chase could finish talking, Luca Jennings interrupted him straightforwardly,

"Chase, have you returned especially to explain the matter of the company in Tongshi facing a loss of thirty million?"

That single sentence caused the originally tense atmosphere to pause momentarily.

Blaise Jennings had been enjoying the drama but suddenly jumped up from the sofa upon hearing his elder brother’s comment,

"What?! You just took over and you’ve already lost thirty million?!"

As he said this, he lifted his hand and angrily pointed at Chase,

"Big brother handed the company over to you for experience! Were you there to gain experience or to create a mess?! And you’re still making noises about starting your own company? Don’t go out there and lose face for me!"

Uncle Three has always been good-natured at the company, playing the role that complements Big Brother’s character.

But when it comes to his own two sons, he can hardly keep his temper in check.

Chase used to be okay, not giving him much worry, who could have expected he was too quick to trust.

Thirty million didn’t mean much to the Jennings Family.

But a logistics subsidiary losing thirty million in less than two months is a question of capability.

This was the first time Chase was so publicly berated by his own father in front of everyone, especially in the presence of Azura and Scarlett, his face instantly turning a deep shade of red. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
