Donovan’s words were like another bolt of lightning this evening, striking unexpectedly upon everyone’s head.
Azura’s face turned pale instantly, she looked at Donovan, then suddenly stood up. Her eyes were slightly red, her voice choking and trembling,
"Brother Donovan, did I do something wrong?"
Donovan had anticipated her reaction and merely glanced at her indifferently, "You know what you’ve done."
He disdained to quibble over such matters.
All he wanted was to send her away.
Azura couldn’t help but clench her teeth in the dark.
Knowing that today’s matter was not so simple.
She had always known that he didn’t like her.
But she never expected that he would actually want to drive her out of the Jennings Family directly?
Why?
Just because of the things she mentioned about Scarlett a few days ago at the hospital??
She merely hinted a few times, and Donovan was in such a hurry to stand up for his sister?
Are one’s own siblings really that good?
It was like this with Luca, and with Donovan...
Even, Lucas and his brothers were the same!
It was her who grew up with them!
...
Donovan coolly observed Azura’s reaction.
Indeed it was because of her insinuations about Scarlett at the hospital previously.
To be precise, since Scarlett’s return, Azura had not stopped implying and manipulating with her words, at first he thought it was just because she was misguided by Scarlett’s comeback, and a warning would suffice.
Latterly, she indeed behaved much better in his presence.
But that was only on the surface.
After carefully asking Lucas, knowing that previously Azura had told him many misleading things, which is why he subconsciously targeted Scarlett.
Donovan then suggested to Grandfather about sending Azura away.
Unfortunately, Old Sir Jiang rejected it.
It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to part with her, but because he was considering Grandmother Jiang.
Recently Grandmother Jiang suddenly fell sick, couldn’t even walk. It was Azura who took care of her by the bed every day, amusing and massaging her which gradually helped Grandmother Jiang recover her spirits.
As a result, Grandmother Jiang valued Azura dearly.
Even considering her earnest care for Grandmother over the past year, the Jennings Family could not just send her away casually.
Donovan was also concerned about Grandmother’s feelings, so he temporarily shelved the matter.
But that day at the hospital, when he heard her deliberately mislead Scarlett in front of Grandmother, and even saw the obvious dislike and even disgust in Grandmother’s eyes, Donovan knew, Azura could no longer stay.
"I disagree!"
Grandmother suddenly spoke up, showing an unusually stern face towards Donovan,
"What do you mean inappropriate? Azura has been raised in the Jennings Family for so many years, she is already a child of our family, I absolutely disagree with sending Azura back!"
As she spoke, Grandmother also didn’t forget to reach out and grab Azura’s hand, pulling her in front of herself with a clearly protective intention.
Luca and Old Sir Jiang did not immediately speak.
