Hospital.
Chase Jennings sat on the bed in the VIP ward, hung up the phone, and then turned to look at Donovan Jennings sitting beside him.
"Brother Donovan, I’ve already instructed the lawyer. They will take care of those two people, especially making sure that woman stops talking nonsense."
By the bedside, Donovan was sitting casually, the iPad in his hand displaying the live stream of "Inspiration".
On the screen, Scarlett Jennings was already in the car, casually introducing the streets of Sea City to the viewers.
"That’s good."
Donovan’s eyes, always with a hint of a smile, shifted from the screen to Chase, and he said with a smile,
"Although you’ve often been confused when it comes to Azura Loomis, when it comes to serious matters, both I and the family trust you to handle it well. The main thing is not to tarnish the family’s reputation...
Especially Scarlett, you’ve already tarnished her once before, don’t involve her this time, let her smoothly finish recording the last episode of the program, don’t you think?"
Donovan’s face carried a smile, his tone as gentle as a spring breeze, yet his words made Chase feel like he had been shot through the chest,
He felt that Brother Donovan was doing it on purpose.
Bringing up Azura Loomis and the previous incident with Scarlett again out of the blue.
Today, he was the most innocent!
"You’re right."
Chase responded gloomily, unable to help but feel a bit depressed,
"But Brother Donovan, Scarlett denied in front of the live stream viewers that I’m her brother, can’t you say something to her?"
He knew he hadn’t done well before, but hadn’t he already started to change?
It was one thing at home, but to distance herself from him outside as well, wasn’t that making the Jennings family a joke to outsiders?
Chase felt Donovan should also say something to her.
Upon hearing this, Donovan only raised an eyebrow slightly, his smiling expression unchanged, and asked him in return,
"Did Scarlett say anything wrong?"
Donovan said, "You aren’t her brother in the first place, she only has me as her biological brother."
A cousin doesn’t count as a brother.
Chase: ...
The live stream on Scarlett’s side continued, while on the other side, the mood in the detention center at the police station was somber.
Just now, the lawyer confirmed the charges against Fiona Harper and Harry Whitley. The police also reviewed the mall surveillance that clearly showed Harry pushing the person off the second floor.
Fiona Harper and Harry Whitley were immediately placed in separate holding cells at the station, separated by just one wall, both sides faced with iron bars.
Sitting against the wall, Fiona cried softly against the bars,
"Brother Harry, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me, I got you into this mess."
After learning that he had to compensate two million, Harry had been in a daze, but hearing Fiona’s soft sobs, he forced himself to stay strong and comforted her,
"Fiona, don’t say that. Any man would not stand by in such a situation, let alone you being my...
Never mind, regardless of what happens next, I’ll take full responsibility, don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer with me."
Fiona didn’t expect that even at this point, he still cared about her, and she was deeply moved.
In contrast to Chase’s ruthlessness, even though Harry wasn’t as well-off as Chase and had a wife and children, she could feel that he truly loved her...
For the first time in her life, she felt what it was like to be loved by someone.
"Brother Harry, please don’t say that, this matter started because of me, I’ll face it with you, and don’t worry about the two million, my family can probably gather it."
