The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 349: A Special Move Targeting the Old Lady

Donovan Jennings’s few words did not persuade Adam Jennings, but instead abruptly pulled Brianna Jennings, who was originally leaning towards Azura Loomis, into his own camp.

Similarly, having daughters of their own, Michael Jennings and Odessa, upon Donovan’s "reminder," were no longer neutral and expressed their stances as well.

"Changing her surname, how can this be acceptable? Initially, it was agreed to be foster care, not adoption. We haven’t changed her name for so many years, and now changing it, what does this mean?"

Michael Jennings firmly disagreed.

If it changes, whose name would it be under?

Odessa also disagreed, even though she was already about to divorce Michael Jennings, Ismeria was still with the Jennings Family. As one of the only two girls in the family, her daughter Ismeria’s dowry definitely couldn’t be less.

Even though Odessa had ulterior motives when she first gave birth to Ismeria, she indeed cherished and loved the little princess as she grew up in her care.

It was already enough to raise Azura Loomis as is, but to provide a dowry for her per the Jennings Family’s standards for daughters, that certainly cannot do.

"I think Donovan’s considerations aren’t wrong either. Azura’s family is still there; are we not overstepping by replacing them, even helping with providing the dowry? It’s like slapping the Loomis Family’s face, and it’s not a good look when spoken about."

Odessa, after all, having been a daughter-in-law of the Jennings Family for so many years, always has a way with words.

But as pleasing as it sounded, it didn’t change the fact that she was against Azura Loomis staying.

Initially, Adam Jennings, hearing Donovan’s words, subconsciously thought it wasn’t a big deal, but as his parents expressed their thoughts one after another, he didn’t want to sing a different tune with them and could only press his lips together and remain silent.

Originally, they were only discussing whether to send Azura away or not, but with Donovan subtly shifting the concept, it made everyone subconsciously assume that not sending her away meant treating her like a daughter of the Jennings Family.

When no decision is made, people always subconsciously hope to maintain the status quo. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

But once someone lays out the future and presents another option, people are easily swayed.

With just a few words, Donovan managed to pull half of those present towards his side.

Scarlett Jennings silently watched the entire process, showing admiration for her brother for the first time.

Her brother, quite impressive indeed.

Old Sir Jiang and Luca Jennings were looking at Donovan too. Though their faces did not show much emotion, they were actually pleased internally.

Either not do it at all or do it with full preparation.

They decided to continue observing.

Azura Loomis saw the clear shift in attitude of Michael Jennings’s family and Brianna Jennings, almost grinding her teeth in anger; for the first time, she harbored intense hatred towards Donovan Jennings.

Donovan...

Donovan!

Why must he force her like this?!

And these people from the Jennings Family are no good either.

Normally, they were all so friendly with her, talking as if they were one family, but they never truly considered her family at heart!

Adam Jennings is useless too!

Azura Loomis could only shift her gaze towards the couple from the third branch of the family, Blaise Jennings and his wife. In the past, her relation with Lucas Jennings and Donovan was the best!

Especially with Donovan!

Blaise Jennings and Flora Xalvadora were somewhat conflicted.

They of course did not wish for Azura Loomis to truly adopt another surname, but as Old Lady Jennings valued Azura, they couldn’t disregard the old lady’s feelings...

Just let her continue living with the Jennings Family without changing her surname and casually provide some dowry in the future, that should be all.

In terms of equating to what Brianna Jennings would get, that was impossible.

"Ahua..."

Donovan had already followed Azura Loomis’s gaze towards the Blaise Jennings couple, saying once they started speaking,

"Actually, today’s proposal is not a whim; everyone knows, there have been quite a few incidents happening recently in our household. Firstly, Donovan had bad luck, losing thirty million, and then the Second Aunt also had many misfortunes behind her, even Ismeria nearly got kidnapped the other day..."

Donovan spoke gravely, turning his gaze back to Azura Loomis,

"All these incidents started since the discovery of that doll made of a dead person’s hair in our house."

With this reminder, the expressions of Blaise and his wife instantly became grave.

Thinking of the misfortune Chase Jennings encountered recently, and that he’s still out of town...

Although this matter ended with Azura Loomis handling all her dolls, it’s undeniable that everyone felt uneasy about it.

Especially since it involved their son.

Thus, Blaise Jennings and his wife also stopped talking.

Seeing that the people from the other three branches were convinced, as for the eldest branch, Luca Jennings and Scarlett Jennings, Azura Loomis had no hope at all.

Although Scarlett Jennings didn’t speak throughout, she knew she must be mocking herself in her heart!

Azura Loomis felt a painful hatred in her heart.

She could only place her last hope on Old Lady Jennings.

Old Lady Jennings was her biggest support in the Jennings Family, as long as Old Lady Jennings stood firm, her grandson Donovan Jennings wouldn’t dare to oppose her.

Thinking this, Azura Loomis felt slightly relieved, she looked at Old Lady Jennings, then quickly lowered her head.

The next second, hot tears dropped with a plop onto the back of her hand that Old Lady Jennings was holding.

Old Lady Jennings felt as if her heart was scorched, seeing Azura Loomis lower her head and weep, her heart ached, and she grew even more resentful towards her grandson,

"Weren’t all matters regarding that doll already settled?! Why bring it up again now? Donovan! How could you become like this?! Always calculating, and can’t even let go of a grudge against a girl! You’ve truly disappointed me!"

Hearing Old Lady Jennings say this, Scarlett Jennings’s eyes grew slightly cold, and she took over the conversation,

"Because the matter from that time has not ended."

Her gaze piercingly clear, she looked towards Old Lady Jennings, her tone restrained,

"Just because the dolls were handled, doesn’t mean the issue has nothing to do with her."

Initially, she hadn’t obtained any evidence, nor had she thought of ways to expose the "system" behind Azura Loomis, she didn’t want to spill the beans now about the possibility of Odessa being drained of fortune, but seeing Old Lady Jennings defend Donovan, she couldn’t hold back, evidence or not.

Meeting the nearly angrily cold gaze of Old Lady Jennings, Scarlett Jennings was utterly unfazed, about to voice all her speculations when her arm was suddenly pressed by Donovan Jennings.

Donovan Jennings shook his head at her, then bent his eyes towards her in a sign.

Although he didn’t speak, Scarlett peculiarly understood his meaning—

Don’t worry, leave it to your brother.

He didn’t want Scarlett to confront Old Lady Jennings, especially considering Old Lady Jennings was currently displeased with Scarlett.

He didn’t want Old Lady Jennings to say anything in the heat of the moment that might hurt Scarlett.

Although Scarlett always appeared indifferent towards how others treated her, these days he understood her well.

Scarlett is actually more sensitive than anyone else.

Even if she doesn’t say it, she does care about these family members.

Otherwise, Lucas Jennings and Ismeria Jennings wouldn’t have been so easily accepted and defended by her again.

His sister, her heart is softer than anyone else’s.

And such a person also gets hurt the easiest.

He didn’t want her to suffer any more harm from family members.

Not even from Old Lady Jennings.

Besides, the matter of the doll wasn’t the focus today.

His main goal today was to make Azura Loomis leave the Jennings family.

Thinking this, he suddenly softened his tone towards Old Lady Jennings, just like his warm usual self, he softly said,

"Grandma, may I have a word with you alone, is that okay?"

Donovan Jennings’s change of tone was too swift, not to mention Old Lady Jennings, even other family members present couldn’t react in time.

But as the people who knew this son/grandson best, Luca Jennings and Old Sir Jiang, they somehow felt...

That their son/grandson was about to pull off a big move.

And it was specifically a big move aimed at Old Lady Jennings.
