"Kenneth, you went out? Where did you go? You didn’t go to pick me up, did you?" Lawrence Winters asked with a cheeky smile.
Kenneth Osborne took a deep breath, his tone somewhat unfriendly, "Hmm, I just went to the gate of the neighborhood to pick you up."
"But I didn’t tell you when I would arrive, did I? How long did you wait?" Lawrence Winters felt a bit guilty; she indeed hadn’t made it clear.
Kenneth Osborne lowered his head, looking at the patterned marble floor of the elevator, and said blandly, "I checked my phone and saw you’d be arriving soon, so I went to the gate to wait for you."
"Huh? But I didn’t see you when I got out of the car!" Lawrence Winters felt a bit uneasy, secretly cursing Edward Foster’s antics before leaving.
If Kenneth Osborne had seen it, he would misunderstand her again.
Sure enough, Kenneth Osborne snorted, "Do you still have me in your eyes?"
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She lowered her head, mumbling, "Did you see everything just now?"
"I’m not blind, of course I saw it." Kenneth Osborne recalled what he had seen earlier, feeling a deep anguish inside.
Before Lawrence Winters could respond, he added, "Weren’t you going to the business banquet with Mrs. Foster? Why were you with Edward Foster? Did you lie to me?"
Before leaving, Lawrence Winters had told the old Daoist that she was attending a business banquet with Mrs. Foster, without mentioning Ruby Sheldon’s 21st birthday party.
But she indeed went with Mrs. Foster.
Lawrence Winters tried to maintain a relaxed posture, smiling as she said, "I didn’t lie to you, I did go with Mrs. Foster. She was also at the neighborhood gate, in that car."
"Why was Edward Foster also there?" Kenneth Osborne thought of the previous scene where Mrs. Foster and Lawrence Winters interacted, and Edward Foster watching them, feeling even more uncomfortable.
Lawrence Winters recalled that Brooke Osborne also attended Ruby Sheldon’s birthday party, estimating that she would definitely tell Kenneth Osborne.
Rather than hearing the whole story from Brooke Osborne, it was better for her to speak first.
Thinking of this, Lawrence Winters smiled and pulled Kenneth Osborne’s hand.
Kenneth Osborne initially resisted a bit, not wanting to hold hands with Lawrence Winters.
But recalling Edward Foster constantly trying to hold Lawrence Winters’ hand, he changed his mind and clutched her hand tightly, saying solemnly, "Is holding hands enough? You just keep pulling my leg."
"Of course not enough, I also want to hug my beloved Kenneth." Lawrence Winters smiled and wrapped her arm around Kenneth Osborne’s waist, standing on tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek.
Kenneth Osborne finally calmed down, tightly hugged her back and kissed her passionately.
When the elevator reached the flat’s hallway, Kenneth Osborne let her go, satisfied as he said, "Alright, tell me, what really happened?"
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She thought a kiss and a hug would suffice, but he still wanted the "whole truth"...
Lawrence Winters pouted and began recounting the events of the evening.
When she mentioned Autumn Stetford’s private secretary broadcasting the surveillance from Ruby Sheldon’s wardrobe, showing an image of Lawrence Winters "doing bad things," Kenneth Osborne snorted, "Who would believe such a filthy trick? You could achieve the same effect with some simple post-production. — Nora, why are they framing you?"
Lawrence Winters didn’t expect Kenneth Osborne to stand by her side without question, feeling both surprised and happy, she looked up at him and said, "Kenneth, you believe that figure wasn’t me?!"
"Of course not. If someone wanted to harm Ruby Sheldon, why not just poison her? What can talismans and paper dolls do? Is it a joke? Unexpectedly, even the distinguished Sheldon Family believes in such nonsense."
Kenneth Osborne analyzed from a pure scientific standpoint, furthermore, for him, adding a shadow or even a living person in a video could be done flawlessly.
So he didn’t think it was Lawrence Winters nor did he believe she wanted to harm Ruby Sheldon, "Besides, why would you harm Ruby Sheldon? There’s no reason, it’s completely irrelevant."
Lawrence Winters’ eyes dimmed.
Kenneth Osborne believed her, which made her happy, but he still didn’t take her Heavenly Master identity seriously.
Therefore, she didn’t elaborate on the subsequent events.
For instance, how she dealt with Peter Grant, or what geomantic formations were present in the Wells Residence Garden at the Sheldon Family.
She only sighed and said, "Later, Miss Sheldon recovered a bit, and everyone dispersed. I really couldn’t believe that such a wealthy family like the Sheldons could have such absurd situations."
Kenneth Osborne analyzed, "Maybe she has some hereditary disease. Don’t Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon want to find a doctor to treat her properly, instead of believing in such supernatural stuff?"
