When Azura Loomis spoke these words, her voice was evidently strained.
She had thought that with the old lady stepping in, this matter could be smoothly glossed over, but the attitudes of Luca Jennings, Donovan Jennings, and even Old Sir Jiang made her realize that it wouldn’t be easy to muddle through today.
She could only retreat in order to advance and adopt a stance.
Sure enough, the moment the Jennings Family heard Azura Loomis’s words, they were all obviously surprised, especially the younger members.
The dolls in Azura Loomis’s room were treasures she had accumulated since childhood and cherished dearly on ordinary days.
Now she was saying she wanted to get rid of them all?
How was that different from being forced to give up her hobby?
Chase Jennings’s eyes immediately reddened,
"Azura! Let them say whatever they want to say! You don’t have to do this! You can keep your stuff if you want to keep it!"
If he had indeed had a fleeting thought earlier about whether it really was about the dolls, now, he had no doubts whatsoever.
He believed that Scarlett Jennings was just looking for an excuse!
She was still holding a grudge because Azura didn’t give up the doll room for her to use back then!
Blaise Jennings wanted to give this brat a harsh lesson once more.
So much nonsense, why do you have to butt into everything?!
The old lady was equally furious,
"That’s right! I’d like to see who dares to dispose of Azura’s things!"
With the old lady getting angry, even her most beloved and proudest grandson was blamed,
"Ahua, I know you’ve found your biological sister, and you look down on Azura now, but Azura has been raised by our family for over a decade, I won’t allow you to bully her like this!"
The old lady then glared at her eldest son,
"And about Chase’s issue! Just a loss of thirty million, our family can afford that little money, twisting it up to the matter of luck, you’re also being foolish! I say it’s all nonsense!"
It must be said, Azura Loomis’s tactic of retreating in order to advance completely captured these old and young.
Up to this point, if Azura Loomis really didn’t want to part with those dolls, she could simply follow the old lady’s words and keep the dolls.
But since she had spoken those words, if she took them back just because of a few words from the old lady, it would look as if she was deliberately retreating in order to advance.
To act, she would have to make it real, only if the old lady and the other Jennings Family members saw with their own eyes the losses she suffered, would they realize how wronged she was.
They would... while leaning towards her side, dislike Scarlett Jennings even more.
Having made up her mind, Azura Loomis didn’t continue with a pretense of persuading the old lady.
Early the next morning, she had the housekeeper pack nearly a hundred dolls into cardboard boxes and sent them straight to the incinerator.
This was also to completely eliminate Scarlett Jennings’s suspicions towards her.
However, the truth was, she could decisively give up all the dolls in the doll room because the most important few dolls had already been taken with her when Chase Jennings brought her to Tong City earlier.
It was just a pity for most of her collection.
But Azura Loomis had no regrets.
Because with this clear action of proving herself, other members of the Jennings Family who still had doubts about her, like Adam Jennings, soon felt at ease and started to think like Chase Jennings and the old lady that Scarlett Jennings was being too aggressive.
Well, although it was Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings who had spoken earlier, they were speaking on behalf of Scarlett Jennings, so naturally, the blame was passed to Scarlett Jennings.
"Sister, don’t worry about them, I’m certain there’s something wrong with Azura Loomis’s dolls, she’s probably doing this to conveniently dispose of the evidence!"
Lucas Jennings wore an expression as if he had seen through it all, appearing supremely intelligent. freēwēbnovel.com
Scarlett Jennings was busy packing to return to the academy, having originally taken leave to participate in a variety show, and her return home yesterday was unexpected.
She didn’t like the attitude of the old lady.
As for whether or not Azura Loomis was connected to the so-called System Energy, she had no evidence, and there was no point in dwelling on it.
If Azura Loomis was problematic, even if all the dolls were burned, she would definitely continue her actions later.
Someone accustomed to seizing wouldn’t give up just because of one setback.
