Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Both Brothers of the Jennings Family Are Sick! Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Both Brothers of the Jennings Family Are Sick! When Azura Loomis woke up the next day, she clearly noticed that her complexion wasn’t looking good.
This was a side effect brought on by the decrease in Goodwill Value.
Her face didn’t look great, and with more than a month left before school started, she needed to begin her college life with the most perfect appearance.
She had to regain the lost Goodwill Value.
Azura thought about it, and realized that Lucas Jennings had a stubborn nature, making him difficult to deal with in the short term. The easiest target, Chase Jennings, had gone to Tong City, leaving only Adam Jennings.
It just so happened that his birthday was coming up, so Azura decided to start from there.
With this in mind, Azura imdiately forced herself to perk up and put on a natural makeup look. Then she went downstairs, planning to find Adam.
First, she needed to casually ask if there was anything he wanted recently.
And then casually let him guess that she intended to prepare a birthday gift for him in advance.
n generally were very touched by this.
This approach was much more effective than straightforwardly asking.
Thinking about it, Azura headed to the dining room and, as expected, saw Adam sitting there. She imdiately smiled and greeted him.
“Morning~”
Graceful and generous, as warm as the rising sun, that was the image she always gave people in this household.
Adam didn’t notice anything off about Azura compared to the previous day. As he instructed soone to set the breakfast on the table, he nodded to Azura as a response to her greeting.
Azura’s gaze shifted to the breakfast on the table, noticing it was different from what was usually made at ho. Several items were store-bought.
Her eyes brightened, “Is this breakfast from Delicacies? I rember they don’t do takeout.”
Adam lifted his chin slightly and said, “Tired of the ho-cooked breakfast, so I had Aunt Li go early to buy from Delicacies.”
Hearing this, Azura smiled imdiately, her gaze falling on a small plate of pearl dumplings on the table, which she had praised as delicious before.
It was comndable that Adam rembered her preferences and had soone buy them early in the morning, and she sat down, smiling, in front of the plate of pearl dumplings.
Unexpectedly, Adam raised his hand and moved the plate to a spot next to him.
Azura was stunned, not reacting at first, only to see Adam suddenly look toward the dining room door, clear his throat, and speak,
“Scarlett Jennings, I had soone buy breakfast from Delicacies. Do you want to co and try it? Their signature pearl dumplings are especially coveted and usually unavailable.”
Adam’s words left Scarlett feeling inexplicable, and Azura at the dining table even more baffled.
*What was going on?*
*Since when did Adam and Scarlett get along so well?*
*Wasn’t he furious about her silencing him before?!*
*Now he was even bringing her breakfast!*
Azura felt like she was missing sothing, even sensing a faint feeling that the Adam in front of her was slipping out of her control…
Unaware of the turmoil in Azura’s mind, when Adam saw Scarlett walking over, he pushed the plate of pearl dumplings closer to her.
Scarlett looked at Adam inexplicably and understood at a glance.
This person hadn’t given up on having her help with the jade carving customization.
It was rare to see him holding back his own feelings to be this polite, just to have her help “bridge the gap.”
Scarlett didn’t take the dumplings, instead serving herself a bowl of porridge, her refusal clear.
Adam felt a bit stifled, wanting to get angry, but rembering the jade carving from Grant, he managed to hold it in.
The atmosphere among the three at the dining table was strange, and soon there was a sound of footsteps from upstairs.
It was Lucas Jennings coming downstairs.
He entered the dining room in a rush, still holding his phone, and upon seeing Scarlett, he quickly moved to her side, wearing an amused, excited expression. He brought his phone screen in front of Scarlett,
“Scarlett, have you seen the trending news? This morning’s hot topic, the ‘Inspiration’ program announced that Momo Ross officially quit the show, so you won’t see her in the next episode!”
Because Scarlett participated in ‘Inspiration,’ everyone at ho knew about the program and its guests. Hearing that Momo Ross left the show, Adam seed to find so common ground and turned his head to show his concern.
“Is it the sa Momo Ross who implied Scarlett was being kept by soone on the show?”
As soon as he said that, Lucas and Scarlett both turned to look at him.
Lucas looked at his cousin helplessly, then earnestly advised, “Brother Adam, if you don’t know how to speak, maybe just don’t speak.”
Saying sothing inappropriate, choosing to talk about being “kept.”
What girl would like hearing such a term?
After much effort in clarifying things, he still insisted on ntioning it.
Lucas sincerely felt that, although his cousin was good at academics, his emotional intelligence was lacking.
Adam:…
Although it was quite annoying being criticized by his fourteen-year-old cousin, he didn’t accept it.
Azura: The Jennings brothers were both sick!
Previously, whenever they spoke to her, they were flattering. Now, she was just sitting here, and both of them only had eyes for Scarlett!
…
While the atmosphere at the Jennings was subtle, things were quite intense for Momo Ross elsewhere.
She had thought that after the police announced the person harming others through “body borrowing” with ashes, she could restore so reputation with the sympathy of netizens.
However, after being persuaded by the program crew to leave, her agent and company both completely ignored her!
“They are all a bunch of opportunistic folks!”
Momo Ross glared at the announcent from the ‘Inspiration’ team, so furious that she was almost trembling.
After leaving the show, she realized she had made a stupid move.
*Who would have thought Scarlett Jennings was the heiress of Jennings Group!*
*She always seed so unremarkable.*
*There weren’t even many brand-na clothes on her.*
*Especially liking mysticism and other odd interests.*
*What heiress from a prestigious family would indulge in these things? And even attend a Taoism Academy.*
Momo Ross suspected the program team had long known Scarlett’s identity, hence the preferential treatnt since the show’s start.
No one had bothered to tell her.
If they had inford her early about Scarlett’s unusual background, she wouldn’t have made those ambiguous comnts on the show…
Though she regretted it after leaving the program, regardless of how she explained to her agent her desire to reconcile with Scarlett, the agent showed no willingness to listen, even revoking her Weibo account access.
Momo Ross knew it was all due to the lawyer’s letters from Jennings Group and Star Entertainnt.
How could she have predicted that Scarlett and her family would be so ruthless over a few teasing words and a photo, escalating things to lawyer’s notices?
Momo initially thought that being asked by the company to stay low temporarily was punishnt enough.
But she didn’t expect that, unknowingly, the company had already terminated the contract with the program!
They hadn’t even inford her!
Just went ahead and announced it online.
Momo felt like her reputation had been stomped on by the show crew, and she was so angry that her teeth ached.
“All because Scarlett’s family is influential, and they feared the Jennings. That’s why they’re stepping on like this… what’s so special about that? Do they really think they can make submit?”
Momo Ross spoke, grabbing an assistant nearby and commanding,
“Go, find soone online to spread the word. Say that I was forced out of the show, that the crew deliberately pressured to curry favor with Scarlett, the wealthy heiress!”
