The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 311: The Eldest Son Takes Things Seriously, The Grandson Provides Support

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: The Eldest Son Takes Things Seriously, The Grandson Provides Support

Azura Loomis liked dolls, and this was known to everyone in the Jennings Family.

The younger ones who used to be close to Azura had also received custom dolls from her.

This was not a secret.

But to bring it up now, it wasn’t anything good.

"Stop talking nonsense! Why are you dragging Azura into a conversation about your brother?"

Grandma Jennings was the first to react, scolding Lucas Jennings immediately.

Lucas Jennings stiffened his neck, wanting to say he was not talking nonsense.

He had one of those dolls in his room before.

However, after knowing that she had a doll made with a dead person’s hair in her dollhouse, he threw away his own.

Don’t ask, asking is disgusting.

"The doll that Ianthe Lawson received had dead person’s bone fragments melted into its head because items made from a dead person’s tissue are more easily used as mediums for Evil Technique."

Scarlett Jennings suddenly spoke up, her almond eyes piercingly looking towards Azura,

"I heard that brother also found a doll made with a dead person’s hair in your dollhouse before?"

Scarlett Jennings had made some connections when she was dealing with Ianthe Lawson’s doll before, but she hadn’t delved deep into it.

After all, many people play with dolls, and one can’t determine that all dolls are problematic because one has issues.

But now, with Chase Jennings showing the same Fortune deficit as Ianthe Lawson after being with Azura, the two incidents combined couldn’t help but raise suspicion.

Scarlett Jennings did not hide her doubts.

As Azura heard her bring up the doll made with dead person’s hair again, her face turned pale, and her expressions were filled with confusion and disbelief,

"I don’t know, I didn’t know that doll’s hair was made of a dead person’s hair, I just customized a doll at the studio..."

It was the same reaction as that night, except this time she didn’t shake her head violently enough to reopen a wound and faint, instead tears began to fall pitter-patter.

"Grandma, I really didn’t know there was something wrong with that doll, you believe me, if I knew there was a problem with the doll I would never have kept it at home."

Grandma Jennings was rather stern towards others, but when facing Azura, she was full of tenderness; seeing Azura cry made her even more distressed,

"Azura, don’t cry, grandma, of course, believes you, good child, don’t cry."

Grandma Jennings had always favored her maternal grandson’s niece since she was young; everyone knew that.

That was also why Azura made a point to bring the old lady back.

She knew Donovan Jennings would definitely not let go of the issue with the doll made from dead people’s hair, and the only one who could truly protect her in this family was Grandma Jennings.

Although Chase Jennings was on her side, his influence wasn’t sufficient.

It was also her impatience; after taking action against Ianthe Lawson, she had drawn too much Fortune from Chase Jennings as well.

Both incidents coming together had caused Scarlett Jennings to be suspicious.

If she had known that she would suddenly come back today, she would have brought grandma home later.

A trace of annoyance mixed with the sorrow in Azura’s tearful eyes.

Seeing this, Grandma Jennings’ heart ached even more, and she simply waved her hand,

"Enough! Just got home and the house is already in disarray! It’s giving me a headache, everyone disperse."

Grandma Jennings knew about the doll issue; Azura had explained it to her when she came to see her, and originally she even thought she was making a mountain out of a molehill. This little issue, whoever in the household would really blame her for it?

But to see it with her own eyes, everyone was indeed not letting go!

Grandma Jennings didn’t say it outright, but her eyes impatiently turned towards Scarlett Jennings.

Implicit in her words was the unrest they were causing.

This scene was so familiar.

When Scarlett Jennings had just returned home and refused to give up her room for Ismeria Jennings, Chase Jennings and his brothers had accused her of disturbing the peace in the house, implicitly and explicitly.

This attitude from Grandma Jennings instantly hit Luca Jennings’ sore spot.

Back then, without hearing the full story, I offhandedly asked Scarlett to leave the room. Even though Scarlett wasn’t angry afterwards, every time Luca Jennings thinks about it, he feels regret.

He has already been confused once, how could he let the old lady shift the blame onto Scarlett again this time!

"Mom, we need to make things clear, the matter at hand is about Chase Jennings. I was the one who brought up the missing thirty million, the issue with the baby was raised by Lucas Jennings, and Scarlett expressed her doubts from her professional perspective. How does that become causing trouble?"

The voice of Luca Jennings was stern, and, rarer still, an oppressive aura emanated from him,

"Is it wrong for everyone to ask for clarity when something happens in the family? Can crying simply brush the matter aside?"

The Jennings Family was taken aback by Luca Jennings’s sudden seriousness, even Scarlett herself was somewhat surprised.

It was clear to everyone that the elderly Mrs. Jennings was deliberately twisting the conversation to protect Azura Loomis.

She is the matriarch of the family, always in poor health, and she had just arrived home today.

Even if it was to give her peace of mind, everyone was supposed to scatter following her lead.

Who would have thought that Luca Jennings, who usually acquiesced to his mother, would instead persist with the truth.

Especially that last sentence was clearly aimed at Azura Loomis.

Luca Jennings may appear strict on the surface, never hesitating to discipline other nephews in the family, but for Azura Loomis, who was fostered in the family and not a Jennings, he would not be too harsh even if she did something wrong.

This was the first time Luca Jennings showed his dissatisfaction towards Azura Loomis in front of so many people.

Although it could be construed as bullying the younger generations because of seniority.

But isn’t the old lady also bullying her daughter, a younger generation, by taking advantage of her seniority?

If the old lady intends to protect Azura Loomis at the expense of her daughter’s feelings,

Then don’t blame him for making Azura Loomis, whom she protects, lose face.

Sure enough, the moment Azura Loomis heard what Luca Jennings said, she froze on the spot, not even daring to pretend to cry anymore.

The elderly Mrs. Jennings looked in disbelief at her eldest son.

Talking back once could be chalked up to a slip of the tongue.

But being talked back to twice in a row, the old lady was clearly enraged.

Pointing at Luca Jennings, her fingers trembling,

"Eldest son! Are... are you blaming me?!"

Luca Jennings’s face was stern and he remained silent. Donovan Jennings, however, with a smile, took over the conversation,

"Grandma, Dad didn’t mean that. He is just worried about you."

Donovan Jennings said this and paused, seeming helpless,

"We all know your health is fragile and that you need quiet rest. No one in the family wants to bother you with these trivial matters. Even Grandpa had specially instructed us not to trouble you..."

Donovan Jennings spoke implicitly, but his message was clear.

Knowing that you need to rest because of your poor health, yet inviting you home over such a trifling matter is not just inconsiderate, but also shows a disregard for your wellbeing.

At those words from Donovan Jennings, both Azura Loomis’s and Chase Jennings’s faces went pale.

Azura Loomis was eager to find someone to stand by her, hoping for protection, and Chase Jennings hoped that with Grandma, his uncle wouldn’t scold him too harshly after hearing what Azura said.

Neither of them considered whether the old lady’s health could be affected by the back-and-forth travel.

There was no way for them to refute what Donovan Jennings said.

Hearing her grandson’s words, the elderly Mrs. Jennings also felt an inexplicable discomfort, but she still instinctively tried to make excuses for the two,

"It was my own wish to come back and see my granddaughter. They only did so after hearing from my primary doctor that I have improved a lot..."

The elderly Mrs. Jennings hadn’t finished speaking when Azura Loomis gently touched her shoulder from behind.

"Grandma, Brother Donovan is right. It was my thoughtlessness."

Her voice was soft, and this time she made no excuses in feigned innocence; the same trick, if used too often, would no longer work.

With a heavy heart, Azura ultimately looked at Donovan Jennings and made a decision,

"Since Scarlett and Lucas both think there’s a problem with my dolls, I will dispose of all the dolls in the house."
