Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Donovan Jennings’s Idea Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Donovan Jennings’s Idea With Luca Jennings’s stance, Old Sir Jiang knew imdiately that his eldest son must certainly be privy to the internal details.
Only, these details were not suitable to be openly discussed.
Blaise Jennings and Brianna Jennings originally wanted to persuade further, but upon hearing Luca Jennings’s statent, they imdiately choked back their words.
The Jennings Family was now led by the eldest brother, and since he said so, there must be a reason behind it.
Follow the eldest brother’s lead.
Upon hearing Luca Jennings’s words, Odessa was on the verge of despair. If previously she could be upset due to this man’s heartlessness, now she dared not even think about it.
She didn’t want to divorce, even if it ant moving out.
At this thought, she abruptly stood up, disregarding her injured leg, and attempted to kneel before Luca Jennings,
“Big brother, I know I was wrong, I truly realize my mistake, please give Michael and another chance, I can’t divorce Michael, whimper whimper, Violet is still so young, she can’t be without her mother…”
Odessa’s reaction was so sudden that it startled everyone present, and a trace of disgust flashed across the depths of Luca Jennings’s eyes.
Brianna Jennings, quick-witted and swift, didn’t wait for her to kneel and lunged over to pull her back, her tone full of threat,
“Sister-in-law, what are you doing, acting like this? The child is still watching.”
A sister-in-law kneeling to her brother-in-law in public, should this get out, what would beco of the Jennings Family’s reputation?
Odessa could disregard her own dignity, but they of the Jennings Family could not afford to lose face.
Moreover, listen to what she is implying in her words? As if the big brother is forcing them to divorce.
Michael Jennings was clearly infuriated by Odessa’s behavior just now and stood up abruptly, angrily saying,
“The divorce is my idea! What does big brother have to do with it?! Odessa, I want to make it clear to you, even if dad and big brother both oppose it today, I am definitely going through with the divorce! Don’t forget what we agreed upon before, to part on good terms!”
The last four words, Michael Jennings almost spat out through clenched teeth.
Before today, Michael Jennings had already settled it with Odessa.
A peaceful divorce, and he could give her half his fortune, which would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
But if she refused to cooperate and made a scene, the Jennings Family had ways to ensure she left with nothing.
Not only would she gain nothing, her years-long coveting of Uncle Jiang would also be exposed, and by then, she could forget about saving face—not only her but her children, Adam Jennings and Violet, would beco laughingstocks as well.
With this reminder from him, Odessa’s heart skipped a beat, and the lucky thoughts she harbored once again dissipated.
No matter how much she had been harboring feelings for Luca Jennings over the years, and even deep down feeling there was nothing wrong with loving soone,
If the children were to truly find out about it… she would have no way to face them.
Seeing Odessa’s emotions shift from an initial burst of agitation to sudden calmness, clearly resigning herself to fate, Adam Jennings, even if he were naive, knew there must be a serious issue with his own mother.
He didn’t bla his father for being heartless.
Because he knew how indulgent his father had been towards his mother.
For his father to suddenly decide on a divorce, it must be because his mother did sothing unforgivable.
With these thoughts, he shut his eyes tight.
Nevertheless, he was still clenching his fists tightly, not leaving just yet.
Azura Loomis had been keeping an eye on Adam Jennings’s condition the whole ti, thought for a mont, and quietly extended her hand at an angle unnoticed by others, gently placing her palm on his clenched fist.
Adam Jennings seed startled, subconsciously pulling back his hand, turning his head, only to et Azura’s eyes full of worry and concern.
Adam Jennings’s emotions were complex, but at this mont, he truly couldn’t spare much attention, barely managing a stiff smile before turning his gaze away, looking down in silence.
Azura didn’t mind.
As she listened to the system announcing Goodwill Value 1, a subtle smile crossed her eyes, yet her face still maintained an expression of deep concern.
Yet unbeknownst to her, the small action she had just taken had already caught soone’s eye.
There, upon seeing Odessa acquiesce to the fact of divorce, Old Sir Jiang no longer said much, subduing all emotions, he declared in a deep voice,
“Since you two have made your decision, then so be it. However, I do not wish to see too much hype about this matter in public.”
The last sentence was obviously directed at Michael Jennings.
After all, both Michael Jennings and Odessa are from the entertainnt industry.
Entertainnt journalists are most keen on reporting news like divorces, and even before the divorce, there were quite a few speculative news stories about the relationship between Michael Jennings and Odessa.
Once it is known that the two have divorced, there will certainly be those who dig deep for reasons and broadcast it widely.
Michael Jennings was clearly aware of this as well.
“We will not officially announce the divorce for the ti being, especially since Violet is still young and might not be able to accept it imdiately. Odessa and I have discussed this, and we have decided that she will temporarily go abroad under the pretext of further studies, and we will reveal it to the public a few years later.”
This was actually a suggestion given by Luca Jennings.
Mainly because he did not want to see Odessa wandering around him anymore.
The rest of the Jennings Family all very much approved of the way Michael Jennings handled the situation, and with Old Sir Jiang’s agreent, the matriarch did not have much to say either.
The elders quickly settled the matter of the second house’s divorce.
As for the younger generation like Donovan Jennings, they were rely present as participants.
Naturally, the one who suffered the most was Adam Jennings.
After the matter of his parents’ divorce was settled, he couldn’t wait to get up and retreat to his room.
Azura, seeing this, also wanted to rise, but then, Donovan Jennings suddenly spoke up, his voice gentle and lodious,
“Since everyone is here today, I also have a matter I’d like to formally bring up and seek everyone’s opinion on.”
Donovan’s words successfully stopped Adam Jennings and Azura Loomis from leaving.
The other mbers of the Jennings Family were also curious and turned their gaze towards Donovan.
If Luca Jennings, the eldest son, is seen as the family’s powerful stabilizing force second only to Old Sir Jiang, then Donovan Jennings, as the eldest grandson, undoubtedly holds an indisputable position in the entire Jennings Family.
Whatever he would formally bring up for discussion must be a serious matter.
For instance, the last ti he brought up sothing this formally was a few months ago when he accidentally discovered that Scarlett Jennings was the child lost by the Jennings Family for many years.
Everyone, including Old Sir Jiang, waited with keen interest for him to speak.
Seeing her grandson’s reserved smile, the matriarch felt that it was unlikely to be bad news.
If it’s not bad news, then it must be good news.
And considering her grandson’s age, she was sowhat expectant.
Could it be that there is soone special outside the family?
Scarlett Jennings was equally curious; to her knowledge, the recent significant issue in the family was the matter between Michael Jennings and Odessa.
Facing everyone’s inquiring gazes, Donovan Jennings smiled, composed, his peach-blossom eyes leisurely turning towards Azura Loomis.
Azura t Donovan’s gaze, and an inexplicable thud resonated in her heart, a vague premonition of foreboding stirring within her.
Indeed, the next second, she heard Donovan’s voice, clear and casual, saying,
“Azura Loomis has been fostered in the Jennings Family for so years now, and during these years, the family has raised her as one of its own children, but after all, she is not a Jennings by blood.”
As he spoke, his peach-blossom eyes faintly swept over Azura, speaking unhurriedly,
“She is already eighteen this year and has been admitted to a good university. Continuing to live in the Jennings household… I think it’s not quite appropriate.”
