Chapter 365: Chapter 365 Admit it, we are blind in the eyes and heart
On the way back with Jacob Zimrman, Old Madam Jennings still harbored so luck.
Perhaps, perhaps the ghost was just deceiving her.
It had nothing to do with Azura at all.
Mainly because she really couldn’t accept that Azura was capable of doing such a thing.
However, when she saw Azura Loomis walking towards her in the apartnt, an indescribable despair and confusion filled Old Madam Jennings’s heart.
“Azura… is it really you? I am your grandmother…”
“Azura, speak to , tell why you have to do this?!”
“Azura!!”
However, Azura Loomis seed to be completely deaf to her words, rely casting a cursory glance at the doll in Jacob Zimrman’s hand.
She didn’t take it right away but instead raised her hand and viciously slapped Jacob Zimrman.
That cold, disdainful look, was nowhere near her usual gentle and obedient deanor in front of the old lady.
Old Madam Jennings was stunned.
Jacob Zimrman, too, was stunned by the slap, his first reaction being to get angry.
But he saw Azura Loomis glare at him coldly, “Today you almost ruined my big plan!”
Fortunately, the system can remotely possess a body, although doing so consus more energy. Just like with Ianthe Lawson that ti, it also requires the person and the doll to be in the sa place.
With a single sentence, Jacob Zimrman was left speechless.
Azura Loomis no longer bothered with him, took the doll from his hand, went straight to the doll room, and carefully placed Old Madam Jennings’s doll next to Chase Jennings’s doll.
At this mont, she had reverted back to the familiar deanor known to the old lady, smiling, very gentle, but her words were chilling,
“Grandma, don’t say I’m unfilial. By putting you together with Brother Chase, you and your grandson can keep each other company in the future.”
Having said that, she closed the glass cabinet door and left the room.
Old Madam Jennings hadn’t recovered from the shock and disappointnt of recognizing the reality when she heard these words, blurting out in a rush,
“Chase Jennings! Is Chase also here?! Chase!!”
She instinctively wanted to turn her head to look around but found that the doll’s body was completely immobile, only able to open her mouth to cry out.
Luckily, although her voice could not be heard by the outside world, Chase Jennings, also trapped in a doll, heard her.
“Grandma! It’s ! I’m here! Grandma! Azura Loomis actually locked you in a doll too?! How could she be so cruel?!”
Old Madam Jennings heard her grandson’s voice coming from beside her, and although she couldn’t see him, she guessed his situation was the sa as hers. Tears almost fell uncontrollably.
“Ah Chase… What karma have we Jennings done, to raise such an ingrate?!”
“You’re right, she really is too cruel.”
“I’ve watched her grow up since she was a child, how could she treat like this?”
After the impotent rage that Chase experienced that morning, he was not as emotional as the old lady.
Even as he listened to the old lady’s rants, he found a mont to interject,
“Grandma, I already said that line.”
The sa words, he cursed countless tis.
But it was useless.
Azura Loomis couldn’t hear.
Even if she did, she surely wouldn’t care.
After all, it was their fault for misjudging her.
Old Madam Jennings still couldn’t help but curse a bit, sowhat venting her feelings of unease.
But in the end, she was reluctant to admit her own senility.
After the initial disbelief and angry accusations, Old Madam Jennings couldn’t help but make excuses for Azura Loomis,
“Ah Chase… do you think there’s a possibility that Azura has been possessed by a ghost too?”
It would be more accurate to say that Old Madam Jennings was making excuses for herself rather than for Azura Loomis.
Even when witnessing it firsthand.
She refused to admit that she had been blind, spoiling such a creature for so many years.
She would rather believe that Azura Loomis had been possessed by a ghost, just as they are now, with her soul trapped powerless within a doll.
When Chase Jennings heard the old lady’s words, he fell into a long silence, so long that the old lady thought he might have dropped the line.
Finally, they heard Chase’s voice, sounding both resigned and sighing.
“Grandma, accept the reality.”
They were all blind and foolish.
Azura Loomis had nefarious intentions from the start, she was just too good at disguising them all along.
If anyone could understand the old lady’s feelings, Chase Jennings thought it was none other than himself.
Because he didn’t want to believe in betrayal, he deceived himself by wanting to find excuses for the other person.
Presumptuously conjuring up so-called “hardships” for the other party.
Spoken out loud, it’s all a joke.
Ha.
The old lady fell silent for a good while after hearing his words, no longer deluding herself and simply sighed with regret.
Regrettably, it’s powerless to regret or be annoyed now.
She had thought the worst thing she might encounter in this lifeti was the descendants’ deceitful scheming for the inheritance.
But she never imagined that sothing even more inconceivable than scheming for inheritance could happen.
Chase Jennings, hearing the old lady’s sigh, couldn’t help but feel compassion.
But there was nothing he could do right now.
Now, all they could do was pin their hopes on Scarlett Jennings.
He knew that after the grandmother, Azura Loomis’s next target would be Adam Jennings.
He hoped that Adam could be more astute.
…
Elsewhere, in the Jennings Family.
After a normal dinner, the old lady was pushed back to her room by the caregivers.
Just as with her daily routine.
Ever since the old lady beca unable to walk, due to her pride, she no longer liked to go out for gatherings, nor did she appear much in front of others.
The Jennings Family had grown accustod to it.
Plus, with Azura Loomis moving out, the old lady wasn’t in a good mood, and she didn’t talk much to the younger generation these past few days.
Donovan Jennings observed the old lady leaving, then slowly put down his chopsticks, glanced at the bowl and chopsticks that had been taken away by his sister-in-law, and said sothing cryptic to Old Sir Jiang,
“Grandma seed to have a good appetite today.”
Old Sir Jiang’s eyelids drooped slightly, and he set down his chopsticks without speaking. It was Lucas Jennings who couldn’t resist joining the conversation,
“Indeed, grandma had a good appetite today. She even had a bowl of bird’s nest before dinner and asked Sister Liu to make shark fin soup tonight, nearly finishing the whole bowl.”
Isria Jennings chid in with a nod, “All gone!”
Flora Xalvadora felt worried upon hearing this, “Mother ate so much tonight, isn’t she likely to suffer from indigestion? Shall I call Dr. Zhao to co over and check on her later?”
As they talked back and forth, Old Sir Jiang who had been silent until now finally spoke slowly,
“No need.”
He said, “She might just have a montary craving. Leave it be.”
As he spoke, a flicker of shrewd coldness shot through those slightly turbid eyes, only to be quickly concealed again.
After that, Old Sir Jiang went upstairs to the study and called both Donovan Jennings and Luca Jennings in as well.
Upon closing the door of the study, the ever-present hint of a smile on Donovan’s face vanished instantly, his eyes now frosty as he spoke with certainty to Old Sir Jiang and Luca Jennings,
“Grandma has an issue.”
Luca Jennings spoke with a solemn expression, “Uncle Ming said that Chase ca back today and left again, and it seed like he took sothing with him when he left.”
Old Sir Jiang sat on the Huali wood chair, his expression grave, and after a long mont, he said,
“Call Scarlett.”
What she had ntioned before had co true.
