Azura Loomis liked dolls, and this was known to everyone in the Jennings Family.
The younger ones who used to be close to Azura had also received custom dolls from her.
This was not a secret.
But to bring it up now, it wasn’t anything good.
"Stop talking nonsense! Why are you dragging Azura into a conversation about your brother?"
Grandma Jennings was the first to react, scolding Lucas Jennings immediately.
Lucas Jennings stiffened his neck, wanting to say he was not talking nonsense.
He had one of those dolls in his room before.
However, after knowing that she had a doll made with a dead person’s hair in her dollhouse, he threw away his own.
Don’t ask, asking is disgusting.
"The doll that Ianthe Lawson received had dead person’s bone fragments melted into its head because items made from a dead person’s tissue are more easily used as mediums for Evil Technique."
Scarlett Jennings suddenly spoke up, her almond eyes piercingly looking towards Azura,
"I heard that brother also found a doll made with a dead person’s hair in your dollhouse before?"
Scarlett Jennings had made some connections when she was dealing with Ianthe Lawson’s doll before, but she hadn’t delved deep into it.
After all, many people play with dolls, and one can’t determine that all dolls are problematic because one has issues.
But now, with Chase Jennings showing the same Fortune deficit as Ianthe Lawson after being with Azura, the two incidents combined couldn’t help but raise suspicion.
Scarlett Jennings did not hide her doubts.
As Azura heard her bring up the doll made with dead person’s hair again, her face turned pale, and her expressions were filled with confusion and disbelief,
"I don’t know, I didn’t know that doll’s hair was made of a dead person’s hair, I just customized a doll at the studio..."
It was the same reaction as that night, except this time she didn’t shake her head violently enough to reopen a wound and faint, instead tears began to fall pitter-patter.
"Grandma, I really didn’t know there was something wrong with that doll, you believe me, if I knew there was a problem with the doll I would never have kept it at home."
Grandma Jennings was rather stern towards others, but when facing Azura, she was full of tenderness; seeing Azura cry made her even more distressed,
"Azura, don’t cry, grandma, of course, believes you, good child, don’t cry."
Grandma Jennings had always favored her maternal grandson’s niece since she was young; everyone knew that.
That was also why Azura made a point to bring the old lady back.
She knew Donovan Jennings would definitely not let go of the issue with the doll made from dead people’s hair, and the only one who could truly protect her in this family was Grandma Jennings.
Although Chase Jennings was on her side, his influence wasn’t sufficient.
It was also her impatience; after taking action against Ianthe Lawson, she had drawn too much Fortune from Chase Jennings as well.
Both incidents coming together had caused Scarlett Jennings to be suspicious.
If she had known that she would suddenly come back today, she would have brought grandma home later.
A trace of annoyance mixed with the sorrow in Azura’s tearful eyes.
Seeing this, Grandma Jennings’ heart ached even more, and she simply waved her hand,
"Enough! Just got home and the house is already in disarray! It’s giving me a headache, everyone disperse."
Grandma Jennings knew about the doll issue; Azura had explained it to her when she came to see her, and originally she even thought she was making a mountain out of a molehill. This little issue, whoever in the household would really blame her for it?
But to see it with her own eyes, everyone was indeed not letting go!
Grandma Jennings didn’t say it outright, but her eyes impatiently turned towards Scarlett Jennings.
Implicit in her words was the unrest they were causing.
This scene was so familiar.
When Scarlett Jennings had just returned home and refused to give up her room for Ismeria Jennings, Chase Jennings and his brothers had accused her of disturbing the peace in the house, implicitly and explicitly.
