Everything happened too quickly; the Loomis Family, including Chase Jennings, hadn’t even recovered from what Scarlett Jennings had said about the "curse".
Even Azura Loomis herself was still in a daze when Alice Loomis’s finely manicured claws had already scratched across Azura’s face in the direction of Chase Jennings.
"Ah!"
Azura Loomis let out a cry of pain, covering her face and retreating, subconsciously pulling Chase Jennings in front of her to shield herself.
Chase Jennings felt a tug and before he could stop her, his face was scratched as well.
A burning pain instantly spread across his cheek; Chase was annoyed and instinctively pushed Alice Loomis away forcefully.
Alice Loomis was pushed so hard that she fell to the ground. Seeing this, Azura’s parents’ faces changed dramatically, and they couldn’t help but reprimand,
"How could you lay a hand on a child!?"
"Alice is still a child!"
They couldn’t help but blame Azura, "She’s your own sister! How could you be so cruel?! Using such vicious means against her?!"
Azura’s parents had already recognized who Scarlett Jennings was.
After all, Scarlett Jennings was so popular online; naturally, they knew her identity.
Being the young Miss Jennings and a genuine Master, her words were certainly true.
Thinking of the blisters on Alice’s hands, they were actually caused by a curse laid by Azura.
Azura’s parents looked at this daughter who hadn’t grown up beside them with a mix of guard and disgust in their eyes.
Alice was merely asking her for a bracelet; what’s wrong with a young girl liking pretty bracelets?
If she didn’t want to give the bracelet, she could have just refused, instead of cursing her directly. Alice was her own sister; how could her heart be so harsh?
As Azura’s parents spoke, they were again looking pityingly about to help Alice Loomis up.
Yet Alice Loomis refused to stand up, struggling away from them and simply sitting on the ground crying hysterically,
"Bullying! This is too much bullying! You all are ganging up against me! How could I have such a vicious-hearted sister?! And you! You are no better either! Wuu wuu wuu..."
Alice Loomis cried, pointing at Chase Jennings and Azura Loomis, accusing, "You’re all in cahoots, conniving together! You, you are just a pair of despicable lovers!"
Chase Jennings’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Alice Loomis’s accusations, and forgetting any gentlemanly demeanor, he covered his injured face and shouted furiously at Alice,
"Shut your mouth!"
He was truly enraged.
What kind of people are this Loomis family!
Thinking again about the initiator of all these events, Chase Jennings glared fiercely at Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett Jennings! What is this to you?! Why are you so malicious?! What has Azura done to you for you to slander her like this?!"
"Talking about a curse! The most likely person in our family to lay a curse is you! Always engaging in those supernatural tricks, making home restless every day!"
Chase Jennings was really furious.
Ranting at Scarlett Jennings with uncontained accusations.
Scarlett Jennings had a cold expression, only saying, "The one who should shut up is you."
With that, she waved her hand.
Before the crowd could see clearly, something swiftly flew towards Chase Jennings.
Before they could see clearly, a crisp smack sounded, like the noise of a paper being snapped.
Something had fiercely slapped Chase Jennings’s face, turning his head to one side.
Yet that was not the end; after slapping once, the object flew again to his other cheek and smacked it with another slap.
It snapped Chase Jennings’s face back to position and then nimbly performed a backflip midair, showing off as it flew back to perch on Scarlett Jennings’s shoulder and even triumphantly bounced with glee.
Only now did everyone finally see clearly.
It was a lively little paperman.
Witnessing such a fantastical scene, Alice Loomis momentarily forgot to continue her crying spectacle, staring blankly at the little paperman on Scarlett Jennings’s shoulder.
