"Azura Loomis, she..."
Azura’s voice was hoarse, and she hesitated before continuing,
"She was driven out of the Jennings Family. It was because of that eldest daughter who recently returned to the Jennings. She couldn’t stand Azura, suppressed her everywhere, and even used an evil technique with a doll to falsely accuse her. The Jennings believed her and kicked Azura out of the family, even spreading words in the circle forbidding anyone from helping her..."
Nicholas Woods was stunned upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief.
"Driven out? Th-this can’t be! Isn’t that eldest daughter who recently returned to the Jennings..."
"It’s Scarlett Jennings!"
Azura explained, "You must’ve seen her tricks on the show. If it weren’t for her, who would have thought to use evil techniques to harm people? We’re just ordinary folks, and she even used Azura’s favorite doll to hurt her. Azura simply couldn’t stand up to her."
Nicholas Woods was instantly convinced by this, and as he imagined Scarlett Jennings sabotaging Azura’s favorite doll, his heart filled with a renewed sense of disdain for her.
A few days ago, his father had even told him to try to connect with the Jennings Family whenever possible, especially Scarlett. At that time, he thought nothing of it, and was even willing to do so, but now, he felt repulsed.
"Where is Azura now? I want to see her! Can you take me to her? Please? Listen, my family may not compare to the Jennings, but we still carry some weight in Sea City."
Azura Loomis hesitated for a moment, but she ultimately shook her head.
"Azura doesn’t want to see anyone right now. As her friend, you should understand her. She’s a proud and self-respecting person who wouldn’t want you to witness her in such a sorry state."
She let out an intentional sigh, adding,
"The place I live in is quite cramped. Azura has nowhere to go, so she has to settle for squeezing into a thirty-square-meter room with me. She doesn’t even have spare clothes to change into; otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked me to come to her dorm to fetch her things."
Nicholas Woods immediately reacted upon hearing this, saying,
"That won’t do at all! If you don’t mind, I have a villa in the suburbs where you can stay temporarily with Azura. I’ll write down the address and password for you. Let her know there’s no need to worry—I won’t just show up unannounced as she wouldn’t want anyone seeing her at her lowest."
That’s exactly what Azura Loomis wanted to hear, and she expressed her utmost gratitude to Nicholas Woods on the spot.
Upon learning her phone was lost, Nicholas Woods even took her to a phone store near the campus gate, bought her a new phone, and transferred ten thousand yuan to her, asking her to take good care of Azura.
Azura Loomis hadn’t expected that the goodwill she had built up during her earlier attempts to charm Nicholas Woods would yield such excellent results.
Though the fact that he hadn’t recognized her at all annoyed her considerably.
Still, given that he was so gullible, she decided to forgive him.
...
Solomon naturally informed the Jennings Family the moment he learned of Azura Loomis’s escape from the Security Bureau’s prison.
At that time, Scarlett Jennings was still on the high-speed rail heading to the neighboring city. Seeing the message caused her to involuntarily furrow her brows.
If it were solely Azura Loomis escaping, Scarlett might not have cared.
After all, having lost her system, Azura was now just an ordinary person, no different from anyone else, and moreover one suffering from fortune backlash.
But the fact that the person who helped her escape was none other than Solomon, the evil master who had once tried to seize Scarlett’s fate chart—that raised a lot of questions.
Solomon wouldn’t help Azura free of purpose. Similarly, when the Garrison Family thought they had gained his aid, the result had been Isolde Garrison losing her life, and the others in the family meeting equally grim fates.
The fact Solomon had chosen Azura seemed far more intentional.
But what could Azura possibly have that was worth his trouble?
Could it be... her?
Scarlett speculated: if there was anything connecting the two of them, then the simplest conclusion was their shared hatred for her.
She was the one who had thwarted all of their schemes.
What if Solomon was willing to risk everything to free Azura just to use her against Scarlett?
