Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Purple Thunder, The Invincible Destiny’s First Recollection of the True Lord Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Purple Thunder, The Invincible Destiny’s First Recollection of the True Lord Dashiell’s words imdiately drew the gazes of Donovan Jennings and Lucas Jennings toward Azura Loomis, with Lucas’s eyes registering disbelief.
Azura’s face changed as well, showing an expression of fright,
“Dead, dead people’s hair?! How is that possible?”
Her reaction was so swift and clearly appeared to be one of being startled, leaving people unsure whether she had known beforehand.
“You didn’t know?” Lucas couldn’t help but ask.
Tears welled up in Azura’s eyes, and her voice trembled slightly, “If I knew, how could I keep such a doll at ho?”
As she spoke, she seed unwilling to give up and questioned Dashiell,
“Could you have been mistaken? I had this doll custom-made at a famous studio, how could they use dead people’s hair?”
Hearing her doubt his words, Dashiell snorted, “The sll of dead people’s hair is different from that of living people’s, how could I be mistaken?”
Azura finally seed to believe him and looked at the doll with a bit of fear in her eyes.
Lucas, observing her reaction, couldn’t help but self-doubt for a mont, wondering whether he had gotten too used to thinking ill of Azura.
Instinctively, he looked at Donovan, who then coolly said,
“Since you didn’t know, it must be the studio’s problem. Give the studio’s na, and I’ll have the doll examined and ask the studio for clarification. There should be records of the customization requirents at the ti.”
Azura’s hand hanging by her side clenched secretly, but when she looked at Donovan, tears fell down,
“Brother Donovan, don’t you believe ?”
Donovan smiled at her, as usual, “Since sothing unclean has entered the Jennings Family, I naturally need to investigate it thoroughly.”
He spoke and seemingly intentionally paused before adding,
“Don’t worry, it’s not aid at you.”
Azura felt a chill run down her spine, barely able to control her expression.
At this mont, Luca Jennings’s deep voice suddenly ca from the doorway.
“What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
It was clear he had been woken by the commotion, and along with him, Adam Jennings and Odessa also arrived.
Azura’s emotions froze upon seeing them; she first looked at Odessa and then quickly turned away as if trying to hide sothing, wiping her tears hurriedly.
Odessa naturally didn’t miss this action and imdiately ca in,
“What’s wrong with Azura? Why is she crying?”
Then she looked at Donovan and the others, puzzled, “Did you bully her?”
“How could we bully her?!”
Lucas couldn’t hold back and retorted first, “She placed a doll made with dead people’s hair in the house, and we simply asked her a few questions, and she started crying herself!”
Lucas realized sothing imdiately after saying this.
Yes, he and Brother Donovan hadn’t said much, so why was she crying as if they bullied her?
Adam and Odessa’s faces slightly changed at the ntion of dead people’s hair, but Luca remained relatively calm, only looking at Azura,
“Azura, is what Lucas said true?”
Upon hearing this, Azura looked terrified and shook her head vigorously,
“I didn’t know, I didn’t know it was dead people’s hair. If I knew, I absolutely wouldn’t have bought it. Uncle, please believe …”
As she spoke, she also gave a command to the system in her mind, and in the next mont, Odessa couldn’t help but cry out,
“Azura! You’re bleeding!”
Everyone saw the wound, originally wrapped in gauze, being stained red due to her agitated emotions.
Yet Azura seed completely unaware, continuously shaking her head until her body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed backward.
Adam, who was watching nearby, quickly stepped forward with Odessa to catch her, preventing her from hitting the ground.
Luca Jennings glanced at the fainted Azura, frowned slightly, and looked at Donovan, saying,
“Call a doctor first, we can discuss the rest tomorrow. Let’s not wake your grandpa.”
Donovan nodded, his expression calm and responded in agreent.
Luca’s gaze swept across Dashiell, recognizing him as the brother Scarlett ntioned during a livestream, and without asking why he was at the Jennings Family in the middle of the night, he glanced at the black-haired doll on the shelf,
“Put the doll away, we’ll deal with it tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Donovan smiled, agreeing with the suggestion.
After fussing all night, seeing no more issues, Donovan had Dashiell put the doll away and prepared to go back to sleep.
Lucas, seeing Dashiell putting away the doll and leaving, hurriedly stopped him, “Wait! You’re leaving so soon?”
Dashiell looked at him inexplicably, “Now that everything’s done, should I stay and sleep at your place?”
Lucas hesitated, “No, it’s just I…”
He hadn’t found the culprit behind his haunting yet.
If Dashiell left and sothing happened again, causing the Jade Token to break, wouldn’t that be the end?
Seeing Lucas hemming and hawing without speaking, Dashiell couldn’t help but frown, “Spit it out quickly, I have a ga to play!”
Hearing that, Lucas seed to think of sothing, his eyes brightened,
“Are you still grinding the leaderboard? I’ll join you!”
Dashiell felt puzzled, “How did you know I was grinding the leaderboard?”
Lucas felt emboldened by this, “Nonsense! I’m the one who taught you to register your account!”
Dashiell was stunned briefly, and then finally realized, “You’re Purple Thunder Invincible Destiny First Returning True Lord?”
Lucas: …
The na sounded formidable when he looked at it, but why did it seem so strange when Dashiell said it out loud…
Never mind, whatever.
Lucas clutched Dashiell, “To commorate our first offline eting, let’s pull an all-nighter grinding the leaderboard tonight!”
Dashiell thought for a mont and nodded seriously, “Okay.”
The two really stayed up all night playing gas together.
Fortunately, nothing else happened that night.
However, the next day, the news about the doll still spread among the family.
Regardless of whether Azura knew beforehand, the doll had to be dealt with, but since she was already injured and fainted due to excitent the previous night, the family didn’t say much, only reminding her to be careful when customizing dolls in the future.
Azura could only nod and promise.
While lying alone in bed recovering, she gnawed her teeth thinking of the previous night’s failure and the doll she lost.
She couldn’t delay the healing of the wound on her forehead anymore; she had to quickly absorb Fortune to help it heal.
After pondering, she sent a ssage to Chase Jennings on her phone.
Soon, Chase called her for a video chat, but Azura rejected it imdiately, doing so three tis and stating she didn’t want a video chat because she wasn’t ready, then conversed with him through voice ssages.
Soon, Chase realized sothing was wrong and asked Uncle Ming, finding out about the family incident.
That evening, Chase returned from Tong City and had a big quarrel with Lucas and his parents.
The next morning, he took Azura with him to Tong City, under the guise of finding a quiet place for her to recuperate.
