Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 667 - 349: Success Belongs to Those Who Work Earnestly

"How can this have nothing to do with me?" That feeling of being excluded emerged again, and Kenneth Osborne’s face suddenly darkened.

Lawrence Winters glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it what Cameron Spencer, that old scoundrel, said that made you worried? Kenneth, don’t worry, I know Cameron Spencer, that old scoundrel, is deliberately trying to cause a rift between us."

"Do you think I’m that stupid to be provoked by just his words?"

Kenneth Osborne pressed his lips together, his expression slightly softened, "But what he said makes sense. My company does have that much cash, but I can’t simply draw the funds directly from the company. I’ll think about whether I can apply for a bank loan by using collateral."

Lawrence Winters waved his hand, smiling, "Forget it. Kenneth, your company is a formal entity, with investors and a board of directors to supervise it."

"It’s not like my family’s small workshop where the boss calls all the shots, with no financial system or internal control at all."

"Drawing such a large sum of money from your company will definitely take a long process, so don’t waste your time thinking about it."

She was telling the truth; she genuinely hadn’t thought about borrowing money from Kenneth Osborne.

She also knew that Kenneth, like her, came from an ordinary working-class background, without family assistance.

Moreover, he started from scratch, and his business just began to show some promise. No matter what, she wouldn’t drag him down with such a large sum of cash.

But seeing Kenneth’s displeased expression, Lawrence Winters rolled her eyes and didn’t outright refuse, only saying, "Kenneth, there’s really no rush with the money, take your time to consider. But how’s your post-production special effects coming along? Lucas Harlow is waiting for this film to be a hit!"

Kenneth Osborne felt better seeing that Lawrence Winters wasn’t rejecting his financial help, and he smiled, "It’s underway. My company set up a special effects company that can collaborate with other companies."

"That’s good. I believe in your capability, and I’m waiting for you to make a hit movie that dominates the scene!" Lawrence Winters praised Kenneth Osborne with all her might.

Kenneth Osborne knew she was deliberately saying nice things, and he wouldn’t believe such sycophantic words until real results were delivered, but hearing it from Lawrence Winters made him happy.

...

Outside Nick Zeller’s hospital room, Autumn Stetford and Ruby Sheldon were walking by with the doctor.

Autumn Stetford coughed lightly into a handkerchief held to her mouth, her complexion remained very pale, but she didn’t look as exhausted.

The doctor looked at the examination results, comforting her, "Ms. Stetford, you don’t have any major illness, just a slight cold. The virus test results are also out, and a prescription of antiviral medication should suffice."

Ruby Sheldon anxiously said, "Will antiviral medication be enough? My mom was fine just a few days ago, she only started feeling unwell in the last two days."

"According to the test results, it should be effective. Of course, if it’s not effective, you should quickly come back to the hospital for further tests." The doctor who knows how to handle patients never speaks definitively, always leaving room for maneuver.

Ruby Sheldon pursed her lips but didn’t say anything further.

Autumn Stetford smiled and said, "I trust you. Not long ago, when my daughter’s eyesight failed, it was you who treated her successfully."

The doctor chuckled awkwardly, "Your daughter’s case was different; there was a specific medication for her condition. For viruses, there’s currently no specific medication; even antiviral drugs only stimulate the body’s natural resistance."

"I understand." Autumn Stetford smiled, nodding, and put her arm around Ruby Sheldon’s shoulder, walking toward the elevator.

...

Lawrence Winters and Kenneth Osborne returned to the apartment, delivering the food container to the kitchen.

Lawrence Winters conscientiously cleaned up the kitchen, placing the dishes in the dishwasher.

Outside, it was gradually getting dark. The old Daoist had his room door closed and didn’t come out to greet them.

Kenneth Osborne headed to his room, planning to take a shower first when his phone rang.

It was his company’s technical director calling, so he quickly answered.

"What’s up?"

"Mr. Osborne, please come and take a look. The system seems to have some issues, and we’ve been struggling all afternoon but still haven’t resolved it," the technical director said awkwardly.

This program system of Kenneth Osborne’s was a novel thing for the programmers. Once a bug occurred, it was extremely difficult to fix, as it was interwoven with an AI deep learning system software.

Kenneth Osborne didn’t blame them, immediately putting on his clothes and saying, "I’ll be right back."

He walked to the kitchen and told Lawrence Winters, "There’s an issue with the company’s software, I need to go take a look. Don’t wait up for me tonight."
