Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 461 - 250: The Whole World Is Supposed to Be Her Mother? (Third Update)
Aiden Sheldon was slightly taken aback.
He had never seen Lucas Harlow bow his head to anyone.
Back then, when Lucas didn’t want to take over the vast businesses of the Harlow Family and the Stetford Family, he insisted on studying performing arts alone, then returned to the country to become a minor actor. Even after being severely beaten by his father, Richard Stetford, until he almost fainted, he never pleaded for mercy.
Yet today, he begged for a young girl.
Aiden couldn’t help but take a closer look at Lawrence Winters, wondering what was so special about this girl that made Lucas treat her better than Ruby Sheldon...
He’s also a man, and he could sense that Lucas liked Lawrence much more than he liked Ruby.
Just then, Lawrence Winters’ phone rang.
She initially wanted to say something, but Lucas spoke first, so she didn’t get the chance, causing the conversation to be delayed.
Now, looking at the number on her phone, it was Kenneth Osborne.
In an instant, it was as if she had found her pillar of support, turned sideways holding her phone, and her eyes reddened before she even spoke. Naturally, her voice carried a coquettish tone: "...Kenneth..."
Kenneth Osborne had just finished work and was planning to pack up and head home.
Then Nick Zeller sent him a text, saying Lawrence Winters had come to pick him up.
Kenneth realized that Lawrence had driven alone to find him.
He glanced at his watch; it had been nearly an hour since the time Nick mentioned. Even with traffic, she should have arrived by now.
Moreover, there was hardly any traffic today.
Yet he hadn’t seen any sign of Lawrence Winters.
He had a nagging feeling that something was off.
After thinking it over, Kenneth decided to call Lawrence.
Fortunately, as soon as the phone rang, Lawrence picked up.
Kenneth sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Nora, what’s going on? Where are you? Why haven’t you reached my office yet?"
Lawrence, on the verge of tears, replied, "I’m at the police station... Something happened on the road; someone kept driving their car to block mine. I couldn’t dodge and had to call the police. Now they’re bullying me, I... I... I’m really scared..."
She burst into tears, half-genuine, half-pretend, not entirely out of fear, but more from distress and frustration.
Kenneth also got angry, his voice cold, "Someone blocked your car, and after you called the police, they’re threatening you? Who’s so bold? Send me your location, I’ll be right there."
Lawrence wiped her tears with the back of her hand, saying, "...Of course, they’re powerful. It’s the Sheldon Consortium, ranked first on the national rich list... They brought a team of lawyers to deal with me, how can I compete? I can’t even afford their lawyer fees..."
After saying this, she cried again, this time truly because she was heartbroken over the money.
But heartbroken as she was, at this moment, she had to fight these people with all she had.
Because in some situations, you just have to spend money.
Kenneth was surprised to hear it was the Sheldon Consortium, "...What’s their connection to this?"
"Because that idiot who blocked my car is the second son of the Sheldon Consortium!" Lawrence said hatefully, glaring at Ryan Sheldon.
Ryan had been sitting idly in his seat ever since the lawyers arrived, handing everything over to them.
He knew with his extraordinary background, not being able to handle such a minor issue meant all the money given to the lawyers each year would be wasted.
Moreover, having spent years abroad, he understood the importance of lawyers all too well.
Still, he occasionally glanced over at Lawrence, pondering how to get her to agree to race him once.
Seeing her look over, he even smiled at her.
Lawrence was infuriated, turning away in anger, not wanting to see Ryan’s face any longer.
Meanwhile, Aiden Sheldon watched Lawrence’s gestures and expressions through a video from Ruby Sheldon, and his impression of her worsened significantly.
To him, she was just a manipulative, pretentious individual who caters to different people, a bit of a money-grubber from the streets.
A person is influenced by the company they keep.
It seemed he needed to keep Betty away from this girl named Lawrence Winters.
His precious daughter couldn’t be corrupted by such a woman.
Aiden’s expression turned exceedingly stern, no longer intending to let Lawrence Winters off the hook.
...
After understanding the situation, Kenneth Osborne knew things weren’t looking good.
They might have stood a chance with others, but against Aiden Sheldon...
Kenneth wasn’t confident at all.
He’s someone bold enough to scheme against Cameron Spencer’s money.
But compared to Aiden Sheldon, Cameron wasn’t even worth mentioning.
These two were on completely different levels.
Kenneth reassured Lawrence, saying, "Nora, don’t be afraid, I’m coming."
While grabbing his briefcase, he ended the call with Lawrence and decided to ring up Francis Johnson instead.
They hadn’t been in touch for several months.
"Mr. Johnson, I need a favor," Kenneth spoke very politely.
Francis, seeing a call on New Year’s Eve, knew it must be a big problem and quickly said, "No problem, just tell me as long as I can help."
Kenneth explained what Lawrence had run into and added, "Nora might have spoken carelessly and offended Mr. Sheldon; he refuses to settle and wants to go to court, terrifying Nora. I feel frustrated too. It wasn’t our Nora’s fault, but just because of a wrong sentence, Mr. Sheldon is using money to overpower us. It’s really upsetting."
Francis had met Aiden Sheldon once, but it was Patrick who was more familiar with him.
After thinking, he said, "Mr. Sheldon isn’t usually like that; could there be a misunderstanding?"
Kenneth smiled bitterly, "No misunderstanding, Lawrence called me herself. Aiden Sheldon got upset when Nora inadvertently offended Ruby while they were on a call."
Francis suddenly understood and laughed, "Now I believe it. You might not know, but everyone in the business circle knows Mr. Sheldon is easy-going on everything except when it comes to his precious daughter. Offending her is worse than death to him!"
Kenneth: "..."
"Is he insane?" Kenneth smirked, "Running such a big business, can’t he be a bit more rational?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"If he were rational, he wouldn’t be running such a big business..." Francis chuckled, "Alright, don’t worry, I’ll ask Mr. Patrick to mediate for you. Mr. Sheldon might pamper his daughter, but he won’t embarrass our Mr. Patrick, rest assured!"
