Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 776: Chapter 398: The Last Straw (Second Update)

Beyond the strands of rain, there are still strands of rain, with no path in sight.

This scene startled everyone.

Lawrence Winters saw everyone quiet down and nodded, "Since neither Mr. Aiden Sheldon nor Mr. Ryan Sheldon objected earlier, I’ll assume my reasoning is correct."

She pointed to Ruby Sheldon, who was still in a coma, and continued, "The decline of the Sheldon Family’s fortune is not only reflected in its population but even more so in its business impact."

"These matters have been reported extensively in the newspapers, not just in tabloids and gossip news, but also in serious and reputable media outlets."

"Over twenty years ago, your family experienced a huge crisis. Sheldon Investment failed in an investment, and the entire group nearly filed for bankruptcy protection."

Ryan Sheldon nodded with lingering fear, "I remember that. I was five years old that year, still hospitalized, and suddenly they said our family had no money. That hospital staff looked down on us and demanded we pay the medical fees immediately, even wanting to kick me out! Those doctors and nurses gossiped right at my bedside, thinking that as a child, I wouldn’t understand! I’ve remembered that my whole life!"

Lawrence Winters looked at him sympathetically and said, "So Second Young Master Sheldon often fell ill when he was young?"

"Yes, I wasn’t very healthy as a child. But later, when I went abroad to study, my health gradually improved." Ryan smiled at her, revealing a set of white teeth.

Three Million Sister stood beside Ryan, glanced around, and felt a bit spooked.

Lawrence shifted her gaze with a smile and said, "In fact, when I was reading these gossip stories, I was puzzled about how the Sheldon Family declined, but later regained its peak."

"It was only after visiting the Sheldon residence today, especially after seeing Miss Sheldon’s birth chart, that I suddenly understood."

Peter Grant couldn’t help but exclaim, "...And you still say it wasn’t you! Otherwise, how would you know Miss Sheldon’s birth chart?!"

Lawrence rolled her eyes, "Wasn’t it you who just showed me Miss Sheldon’s birth chart? The one written on the little paper figure accusing me was what you used to condemn me..."

Peter Grant was astonished, "The writing on that little paper figure was so small, how could you see it?"

"I have eagle eyes, alright?" Lawrence smirked sarcastically, "Just like how you have nearsightedness and can’t see things beyond ten centimeters, I don’t have that problem. I can spot a needle in a haystack from a hundred meters away. Got it?"

Peter Grant wanted to argue further, but Aiden Sheldon glanced at him lightly and said, "Let Miss Winters continue."

Peter Grant immediately shut his mouth.

He could ignore other people’s words, but not those of their main financier from the Grant Branch.

Lawrence Winters smiled and said, "As I said, when I first saw the Wells Residence Garden’s location and front gate, I knew the Sheldon Family couldn’t bear this fortune."

"But the Sheldon Family shook off its slump of the previous twenty years over the following decades and instead flourished."

"I deduce that you definitely hired The Grand Geomancer to set up a Geomantic Formation to change your fortune."

"Later, upon entering and observing your household’s arrangements, sure enough, there were mysteries everywhere."

"For instance, within the inner courtyard, there was an abundance of water. In northern courtyards, it’s rare to find residences surrounded by water like this."

"Not only were there lakes and ponds, but also rivers and streams, basically surrounding the entire Wells Residence with water."

"And these water flows were not there at the beginning; they were dug over twenty years ago, right?"

This time she didn’t ask Aiden Sheldon or Autumn Stetford but directly asked Ryan Sheldon.

Ryan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! I just went abroad back then, and when I returned home for summer vacation one year, I found there were workers everywhere digging pits, storing, and diverting water."

Lawrence Winters smiled and said, "Because metal generates water, and water energy is financial energy. Purple Energy belongs to metal, and when it reaches the Wells Residence and encounters water, it transforms into financial energy. So not only did the Sheldon Family overcome hardships at the time, but their rapid development over the past twenty years catapulted them back to the top of the wealth rankings, leaving the second place far behind."

"And all of this is intricately linked to Ruby Sheldon." Lawrence set her gaze on Ruby Sheldon.

Unnoticed, Ruby Sheldon had already woken up and was watching her.

Her eyes were slightly pale, and her face was frighteningly white.

Under the crystal light, she looked like a porcelain doll.

Lawrence Winters unwillingly looked away and continued, "Don’t assume that creating a Geomantic Formation would easily make someone the wealthiest. It’s not that simple."

"A Geomantic Formation is at best auxiliary and cannot be the decisive factor."
