The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Words Follow the Law

The old lady’s tone wasn’t very good.

Realizing she had been deceived for so many years, she was unwilling to admit it was her own failure in judging people.

Instinctively, she started to blame Scarlett Jennings for not telling her earlier.

Before, Scarlett was able to see that Chase Jennings was unlucky because his Fortune was taken, so she must have guessed her own situation was related to Azura Loomis.

Why didn’t she tell her?

She then looked toward her husband. Seeing the Old Sir Jennings and Luca Jennings both calm and indifferent, her heart became even more unsettled.

"You two already knew about this, didn’t you? Why didn’t you tell me?!"

At this moment, the old lady seemed to have completely forgotten about Alice Loomis.

She was furious.

"I was the one who told Grandpa and Dad not to say anything."

Scarlett Jennings calmly took over the conversation. Without waiting for the old lady to ask again, she continued,

"Because I thought addressing this issue at a more appropriate moment would have a better impact. Like now, for example."

The old lady: ...

"Besides, the old lady has always been very protective of the younger generation of the Loomis Family. She likely wouldn’t mind this matter too much. After all, what Azura Loomis did doesn’t represent the Loomis Family, nor does it represent Alice Loomis.

The matter has been stated. Whether the old lady wants to continue fostering harmonious relationships or invite another niece back to live here, it’s entirely up to you."

After saying her piece, Scarlett Jennings stood up and prepared to go upstairs to continue her own business.

Donovan Jennings hadn’t spoken a word throughout the entire exchange, but a smile had lingered on the corners of his mouth ever since Scarlett Jennings started speaking. He seemed both relieved and impressed. After a brief pause, seeing the old lady unresponsive, he also stood up, nodded toward her, and followed Scarlett upstairs.

The remaining Jennings Family members, except for the Old Sir Jennings and Luca Jennings, exchanged bewildered looks. They didn’t dare to console her, nor did they dare leave.

After a long moment, it seemed the old lady finally caught her breath. She glared in the direction of the stairs and huffed angrily,

"Invite what?! When did I ever say I wanted to bring her back to live here?"

Although she had let Alice Loomis into the house, she never considered raising her like she did with Azura Loomis.

She wasn’t completely senile after all.

She had already suffered a huge loss and wasn’t about to repeat her mistakes.

She had only pitied the child...

Yet, that small trace of pity for her maternal family’s younger generation vanished completely when she learned that her inability to walk the past few years was because of Azura Loomis.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Now that she knew the truth, the old lady couldn’t bear to face anyone from the Loomis Family anymore.

"Housekeeper, from now on, no matter who from the Loomis Family comes here, don’t let them inside! If there’s any news about the Loomis Family, don’t let me hear about it either."

The old lady angrily declared while trying to maintain her dignity as a grandmother, signaling Adam Jennings to push her back to her room.

Lucas Jennings had been watching the entire scene unfold, and his eyes practically sparkled.

His sister was truly extraordinary.

One move and you could immediately sense her prowess.

What now?

He was already looking forward to how his sister would deal with their elder brother.

He wished that idiot brother would finally come to his senses.

He was exhausted.

...

Scarlett Jennings, unaware of Lucas’ turbulent anticipation, encountered Kingston Jennings following her upstairs on her way to her room.

Kingston had always been inconspicuous, so no one noticed when he left to follow her.

When Scarlett saw him panting heavily, having climbed just two flights of stairs, his face had turned somewhat pale.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

Kingston finally managed to catch his breath and nodded. He quickly typed on his phone and held it out for her to see as the screen filled with large text.

Scarlett was slightly curious why he wasn’t using voice playback, but when she focused on the screen, her gaze slightly narrowed, her expression turning more serious.

Kingston had written—

[Grandma initially refused to let Alice Loomis into the house. Then Chase Jennings brought home a woman who said one thing.]
