Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 815: Chapter 413: The Shelf Life of Love (First Update)

He pointed at the traces left on his suit by the shattered ceramic pieces.

Lawrence Winters: "!!!"

That suit looked extremely expensive, probably worth as much as a car.

Though Lawrence wasn’t short on money, to someone usually as financially cautious as him, finding joy in just counting the money coming in, taking out a large sum for "compensation" was more painful than pulling out his own flesh.

Lawrence felt a bit nervous, wanting to deny responsibility but felt too embarrassed to do so.

Nathan Sheldon looked at her agitated expression, chuckled softly, and shook his head, "Alright, I was just teasing you, no need to compensate me. I’m not that petty. But a gentleman uses words, not actions; you’re a young lady, even more precious. Why resort to hitting at every turn? That’s not good."

Offering life lessons at first meeting—do these men think all women are as naive and adorable as Ruby Sheldon, a giant baby who can’t even walk steadily?

Lawrence didn’t care what Nathan thought.

In her eyes, Nathan was just a passerby, and because he was related to the two annoying individuals, Ruby Sheldon and Autumn Stetford, he was even less than a passerby.

Lawrence rolled her eyes, "You were hiding inside the room. I don’t have X-ray vision. How would I know you were in there? If you were there first and saw me come in, you should have spoken up to alert me."

"But you stayed silent, lurking there sneakily. What’s with this act of superiority? Don’t you know what ’see no evil, hear no evil’ means?"

Nathan was momentarily speechless.

He was someone with hidden sharpness, usually appearing approachable, but his words never betrayed him.

This was the first time he was rebutted from such an unexpected angle, and he surprisingly couldn’t think of a retort.

Lawrence snorted coldly, giving a specific warning: "Mr. Sheldon, mind your own business, and don’t be like a nagging woman."

She turned to leave only after she finished speaking.

Meanwhile, Kenneth Osborne was still feeling unsettled.

When he left in anger today, Lawrence not only chased after him but also generously allowed him to stay and continue discussing the lawsuit matters. With such a good wife, what more could he want?

At that moment, Kenneth even forgave Lawrence for her obsession with the Heavenly Master position.

If she liked it, let her have her fun.

He would work harder and climb higher, becoming her support and backing her up!

Kenneth’s mood cleared up like a sky after rain.

A slight smile appeared on his face, unnoticed by himself, like the enchanting beauty of a mountain draped in light rain.

Ruby Sheldon looked on in a daze.

She knew Kenneth was good-looking, but being this stunning was beyond her expectations.

Her face flushed with two quick blushes.

At this moment, Nathan walked in, about to speak, but accidentally saw Ruby staring at Kenneth. He swallowed his words and smiled, "Betty, dad just called, said he had something urgent and had to fly abroad, he’s already on the plane."

The Sheldon Family had their private plane, whether going abroad or just within the country, they wouldn’t squeeze into commercial flights with the masses.

Ruby snapped out of it, pouting, "Just came back and now leaving again. Did dad say what he was going for?"

"Business, what else?" Nathan sat beside Ruby, which was directly opposite Kenneth.

He picked up the teapot and poured Kenneth a cup of tea.

Seeing the teacup, Nathan couldn’t help but think of the two small teacups that Lawrence shattered earlier. Clicking his tongue, he shook his head and asked Kenneth, "Aunt Lan mentioned the AI software you developed for post-production effects. I’ve been following that fantasy drama and it really is great. The effects are fantastic."

Receiving Nathan’s acknowledgment, Kenneth felt warming even though it wasn’t unexpected.

This was approval from a business figure and a source of his confidence.

People can’t have confidence without reason.

True confidence comes from achieving accomplishments and gradually gaining public recognition.

Without achievements and being blindly confident, that’s not confidence; it’s arrogance—commonly known as being a fool.

Kenneth felt his previously unsettled mind gaining some solace.

He knew he hadn’t plagiarized anyone, but when faced with opponents lowering their attack level, he would still feel lost and nervous.

He was only twenty-four this year, having graduated from university just two years ago.

Moving directly from the ivory tower into the unpredictable and changing business world, he could only seize every opportunity he could, treating himself like a sponge, striving to absorb experience and knowledge.
