Madam Jennings didn’t know why her grandson suddenly wanted to speak to her alone. Although she was somewhat disappointed in him, seeing his gentle manner of inquiry, she couldn’t help but soften her emotions.
Just as she was about to agree, her hand was gripped tightly by Azura Loomis once again.
At this moment, Azura’s heart was somewhat panicked. Although she didn’t know what Donovan Jennings was going to do, considering his methods, she was genuinely worried.
If she were kicked out of the Jennings Family, even if she could still visit in the future, her status would no longer be the same.
At this moment, she was truly afraid.
She didn’t want the old lady to go.
"Grandma... let it be, just follow Brother Donovan’s intention, I’m fine. Even if I don’t live in the Jennings Family, I will still respect you as before and often come back to see you..."
Azura’s eyes brimmed with red, yet she forced a smile on her face, appearing graceful and sensible.
Scarlett Jennings looked at Azura, emotionally detached, and made a judgment in her heart—
She still preferred Ariel’s kind of performance.
But the sight made Madam Jennings’ heart feel like it was shattering; she became even more determined to keep Azura with her.
"Don’t worry, as long as grandma is here, no one can force you to leave this house!"
Donovan Jennings didn’t argue with Madam Jennings, stepped forward, pushed her wheelchair, and took her to another parlor to talk privately.
The group of people were curious to know what Donovan Jennings was suddenly discussing with the old lady, but despite their curiosity, they all maintained a composed appearance.
About five minutes later, suddenly, a sound of something shattering echoed from the parlor.
Everyone’s heart chilled.
Luca Jennings felt an instinctive urge to stand up.
He was somewhat worried that the old lady had lost her temper and started throwing things at Donovan Jennings.
Although such a scenario was unlikely to happen.
In the end, he resisted the impulse to go and check.
He had faith that Donovan Jennings could handle the situation properly.
Seeing that neither the patriarch nor Luca Jennings moved, the rest of the Jennings Family also had to suppress their impulse to go and see for themselves.
The group waited for another five minutes in the hall, and finally, the sound of Madam Jennings’ wheelchair rolling on the carpet outside was heard again.
All heads turned in unison towards the direction of the sound.
They saw Donovan Jennings returning with Madam Jennings, his expression as usual.
Madam Jennings’ face still seemed to hold some residual anger, but she endured and did not continue her tirade.
Azura hurried over immediately, crouching down, and asked anxiously,
"Grandma, are you alright?"
Her concern was as intense as ever, just as it used to be.
In the past, such concern would have been very soothing and heartfelt for Madam Jennings.
However, now, facing Azura, her expression was subtly complex, and within that subtlety, there was a certain gravity...
Azura was truly nervous now.
Something was off about the old lady’s expression.
The next second, it seemed as if the old lady had finally made up her mind, and she showed a somewhat forced smile at Azura,
"Azura, grandma has thought it over. You were right just now. Even if you don’t live with the Jennings Family in the future, you can still come back to visit me often... You’ve been away from the Loomis Family for so many years, it’s indeed time for you to go back and spend time with them."
The inconsistent words of Madam Jennings left everyone in the Jennings Family in a moment of stunned silence.
Azura’s facial expression uncontrollably stiffened.
She thought she had misheard.
Was it not the old lady who just said, with her here, no one could force her to leave this house?
It had only been about ten minutes...
If it were just these, Old Mrs. Jennings could still explain them away as Chase taking care of his injured sister.
But those surveillance videos...
Thinking of the man and woman in the videos, Old Mrs. Jennings felt waves of darkness before her eyes.
There were three clips in the video.
The first was of the two at a restaurant, where Azura Loomis pointed at something on Chase’s plate, and, looking a bit helpless, he fed her a spoonful of his dessert.
Azura tasted it and looked delighted.
Chase then nonchalantly ate the remaining half of her dessert.
The second clip showed them laughing and talking in the hotel corridor.
Suddenly they started chasing and roughhousing. Azura ran, Chase chased, and in the end, Chase cornered her against the wall of the corridor and within his arms, both appearing ambiguously intimate.
The third was in the hospital corridor.
Azura seemed to be sitting sadly, Chase comforting her at the side when suddenly Azura threw herself into Chase’s arms, and he embraced her tightly, then stealthily kissed the top of her head.
For the old lady’s convenience to see clearly, each frame of the three clips was specially processed with high definition, and the details of the actions were vividly visible.
As a result, Old Mrs. Jennings clearly saw all the intimate actions between the two.
Even she couldn’t deny that the relationship between her grandson and Azura Loomis was not clear.
Just from watching such videos, she would believe they were lovers.
But clearly, while at the Jennings’, although Azura and Chase appeared to get along well, their behaviors were very measured, nothing like what was in the surveillance videos.
Or is it that they act the same way at home, and she just hasn’t seen it?
What ultimately made Old Mrs. Jennings decide to send Azura Loomis away was what Donovan said last,
"Besides Chase, Adam has different feelings for Azura Loomis as well.
The reason I insist on sending her back is to avoid any embarrassing occurrences in the future, to stop others from laughing at the Jennings family again, as when Azura Loomis was brought into our home, she was raised like a child bride."
