Chapter 359: Chapter 359: or Her, Who Do You Choose?
Everything happened too quickly; the Loomis Family, including Chase Jennings, hadn’t even recovered from what Scarlett Jennings had said about the “curse”.
Even Azura Loomis herself was still in a daze when Alice Loomis’s finely manicured claws had already scratched across Azura’s face in the direction of Chase Jennings.
“Ah!”
Azura Loomis let out a cry of pain, covering her face and retreating, subconsciously pulling Chase Jennings in front of her to shield herself.
Chase Jennings felt a tug and before he could stop her, his face was scratched as well.
A burning pain instantly spread across his cheek; Chase was annoyed and instinctively pushed Alice Loomis away forcefully.
Alice Loomis was pushed so hard that she fell to the ground. Seeing this, Azura’s parents’ faces changed dramatically, and they couldn’t help but reprimand,
“How could you lay a hand on a child!?”
“Alice is still a child!”
They couldn’t help but bla Azura, “She’s your own sister! How could you be so cruel?! Using such vicious ans against her?!”
Azura’s parents had already recognized who Scarlett Jennings was.
After all, Scarlett Jennings was so popular online; naturally, they knew her identity.
Being the young Miss Jennings and a genuine Master, her words were certainly true.
Thinking of the blisters on Alice’s hands, they were actually caused by a curse laid by Azura.
Azura’s parents looked at this daughter who hadn’t grown up beside them with a mix of guard and disgust in their eyes.
Alice was rely asking her for a bracelet; what’s wrong with a young girl liking pretty bracelets?
If she didn’t want to give the bracelet, she could have just refused, instead of cursing her directly. Alice was her own sister; how could her heart be so harsh?
As Azura’s parents spoke, they were again looking pityingly about to help Alice Loomis up.
Yet Alice Loomis refused to stand up, struggling away from them and simply sitting on the ground crying hysterically,
“Bullying! This is too much bullying! You all are ganging up against ! How could I have such a vicious-hearted sister?! And you! You are no better either! Wuu wuu wuu…”
Alice Loomis cried, pointing at Chase Jennings and Azura Loomis, accusing, “You’re all in cahoots, conniving together! You, you are just a pair of despicable lovers!”
Chase Jennings’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Alice Loomis’s accusations, and forgetting any gentlemanly deanor, he covered his injured face and shouted furiously at Alice,
“Shut your mouth!”
He was truly enraged.
What kind of people are this Loomis family!
Thinking again about the initiator of all these events, Chase Jennings glared fiercely at Scarlett Jennings,
“Scarlett Jennings! What is this to you?! Why are you so malicious?! What has Azura done to you for you to slander her like this?!”
“Talking about a curse! The most likely person in our family to lay a curse is you! Always engaging in those supernatural tricks, making ho restless every day!”
Chase Jennings was really furious.
Ranting at Scarlett Jennings with uncontained accusations.
Scarlett Jennings had a cold expression, only saying, “The one who should shut up is you.”
With that, she waved her hand.
Before the crowd could see clearly, sothing swiftly flew towards Chase Jennings.
Before they could see clearly, a crisp smack sounded, like the noise of a paper being snapped.
Sothing had fiercely slapped Chase Jennings’s face, turning his head to one side.
Yet that was not the end; after slapping once, the object flew again to his other cheek and smacked it with another slap.
It snapped Chase Jennings’s face back to position and then nimbly perford a backflip midair, showing off as it flew back to perch on Scarlett Jennings’s shoulder and even triumphantly bounced with glee.
Only now did everyone finally see clearly.
It was a lively little paperman.
Witnessing such a fantastical scene, Alice Loomis montarily forgot to continue her crying spectacle, staring blankly at the little paperman on Scarlett Jennings’s shoulder.
With a face of utter astonishnt.
But soon, her face lit up with excitent.
It was only at this mont that she recognized Scarlett Jennings. She had seen “Inspiration” too!
Paperman extracting souls, she had seen it!
This Scarlett Jennings is indeed a true master!
She might be saved!
…
Compared to Alice Loomis’s happiness, Chase Jennings only felt a deep embarrassnt at this ti.
He stared furiously at Scarlett Jennings, “How dare you lay a hand on !”
He was her cousin, after all!
“If you lash out at again, I’ll hit you again. This isn’t the Jennings Family’s place anyway.”
Scarlett Jennings looked at his slowly reddening face with a slight smile, “Do you want to try again?”
The mont those words fell, Chase Jennings saw the little paperman on Scarlett’s shoulder getting ready to strike again.
Rembering the smacks he had just received, he instinctively covered his face and stepped back a long way.
It’s not that he was afraid of her; he just didn’t want to bother arguing with her.
At this point, Azura Loomis seed to finally catch on, stepping forward to hold Chase Jennings back, and said to Scarlett Jennings,
“Scarlett, I don’t know why you harbor such malice towards , but I haven’t done what you accused of. I know nothing about this curse you’re talking about!”
Although that’s what she said, Azura Loomis was sowhat panicked inside.
The system had clearly stated that she wouldn’t be found out, so why did Scarlett Jennings know it was her who had the system cast the curse?
She never intended to take Alice Loomis’s life, after all, she was her own younger sister.
She just wanted to teach her a lesson, to let her know not to steal from others, it was for her enlightennt.
She also knew that Chase Jennings was coming over today, and intentionally stirred up trouble, so he could see firsthand her situation in the Loomis Family.
Everything was fine initially, who would have thought Scarlett Jennings would suddenly appear and spill the beans about the curse.
Azura Loomis was extrely irritated inside.
From the mont Scarlett Jennings appeared, she felt things were going awry.
If this investigation continued and they found the other system inside her, Scarlett would definitely persistently target her.
Thinking of this, Azura Loomis lowered her head and, clutching Chase Jennings’s arm, sobbed,
“Brother Chase, innocence clears the guilty. Please don’t fight with Scarlett for my sake, it would be hard to explain to the family. I don’t want you to be troubled by Brother Donovan again.”
Hearing Azura Loomis’s words, Chase’s heart lted, and he felt even more pained for her.
Listening, Alice Loomis was not polite, “You make it sound nice, but would a master like Scarlett accuse you wrongly? If you didn’t do it, why would she say so? Why not accuse soone else but you!
Clearly, you’re just malicious and trying to harm ! Once I’m gone, you’d be the only child left in the family!”
The more Alice Loomis thought about it, the more she believed she was correct, and she imdiately turned to her parents,
“Dad, Mom! You both saw it, how malicious she is. I don’t want her continuing to live in our house! In this ho, it’s either her or ! You tell , who do you choose between us?!”
Mother Loomis quickly responded, “What nonsense are you talking about, child?! How could we possibly not want you!?”
Though she said they would not abandon Alice Loomis, she didn’t ntion Azura Loomis, still, Azura had long noticed her parents’ partiality, yet at this mont, she still felt a sharp sting in her heart.
Holding onto Chase Jennings’s arm, her grip slightly tightened.
Feeling the force on his arm, Chase grew more sympathetic towards Azura, and his disdain for the family mbers hurting her deepened, and without further hesitation, he grabbed Azura Loomis’s hand and said coldly,
“We don’t care for such a family. Does Azura even care to stay? Don’t think that leaving the Jennings Family makes her nothing! She still has !”
Turning around, his tone solemn and serious, “Azura, such family mbers are not worth it. Co with … I will take care of you.”
Azura Loomis looked at Chase Jennings, her face filled with sadness and gratitude, tears brimming in her reddened eyes, and after a long silence, she nodded silently.
Scarlett Jennings stood aside, watching Chase Jennings’s joyous face as Azura nodded, her almond eyes slowly showing a hint of sympathy.
Yes, just a little bit.
