Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 854: Chapter 428: Long Time No See (Second Update)

Evan Stetford rarely gets angry, always carrying a hint of a smile.

Suddenly infuriated, Richard Stetford glanced at him and said slowly, "Evan, speak if there’s something to say, no matter how big the issue, the sky won’t fall. Besides, is it necessary for you to step in for such matters?"

This was telling him not to show his emotions openly.

Evan Stetford put away his phone and told Richard Stetford, "Dad, someone fired a gun in Chinatown, I need to go check it out."

Richard Stetford frowned, "Such a minor issue requires you to handle it personally? You are the spokesperson of our Stetford Family..."

"It’s not about that. The issue may be small, but the significance it represents is not." Evan Stetford calmly said, "This is a matter of principle. Someone might be trying to show me they’re intimidating me."

"No guns allowed in Chinatown; it’s our family’s rule. For so many years, no one dared to fire a gun in Chinatown. Just as I return, such an incident occurs. This challenges the authority of the Stetford Family, as well as my authority. I need to go check it out. Brother-in-law, apologies for leaving."

Ruby Sheldon was also startled by Evan Stetford’s sudden anger, but as she saw him preparing to leave, she quickly asked, "Uncle! Can I go with you to take a look? I’ve never seen..."

Evan Stetford interrupted her before she finished speaking, "No, I’m going to handle business." He said, striding away.

Ruby Sheldon watched his back, feeling aggrieved and her eyes turned red.

She tugged at Richard Stetford’s arm, choking up, "Grandpa, look at Uncle..."

Richard Stetford smiled kindly, "Betty, your uncle has just taken on this responsibility, it’s normal to be a bit tense. Don’t overthink it. By the way, do you want to go shopping? There are many famous stores on Fifth Avenue, why not go with your mom?"

Ruby Sheldon blinked, swallowed her tears, and nodded obediently, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

She left the dining room and came to Autumn Stetford’s room on the second floor, but didn’t go in. She leaned at the door and spoke to the three people inside: "Mommy, Aunt Ava, cousin, Uncle went to Chinatown, said there was some incident there. Grandpa wants Mommy to take me to Fifth Avenue for shopping."

Autumn Stetford looked surprised towards the door and asked, "What major event happened? Why does it need your uncle to step in?"

Ruby Sheldon shook her head, "I don’t know. Uncle took a phone call, got very angry, and left."

Autumn Stetford pondered for a moment and said, "Looks like something serious happened. Betty, let your cousin Spring Spencer accompany you to shop on Fifth Avenue. Your dad and I still have some matters."

Ava Harlow glanced at her, not knowing what happened but agreed, "Yes, how about I go with Spring Spencer to take Betty shopping."

Fifth Avenue is filled with world-renowned brands, almost all global big names have their flagship stores on Fifth Avenue in New York.

This is the true home of luxury goods worldwide.

Spring Spencer smiled and nodded, "Sure, Mommy and I are free anyway, we want to buy some things on Fifth Avenue too."

She realized something was happening with the Stetford Family and intentionally wanted to stay out of it.

Ava Harlow had the same thought, and the two stood up together.

Autumn Stetford did not stop them, she stood up with them and said, "Ava, if you see something nice, bring one for me too."

"Certainly." Ava Harlow said with a smile, and left the Stetford Family mansion with Spring Spencer and Ruby Sheldon.

Autumn Stetford went downstairs to the study to accompany Richard Stetford in conversation.

They chatted for a while, and Autumn Stetford noticed Richard Stetford seemed a bit uneasy, and tentatively suggested, "Dad, shall I go take a look? I am more familiar with the Grant Branch people than Evan, having dealt with them for so many years. If they are disrespectful to Evan, I can discipline them."

Richard Stetford was indeed worried but felt it was inappropriate for him to openly support Evan.

This would undermine Evan’s prestige.

But having Autumn Stetford go...

He pondered while lifting the teacup from the desk and said, "You can go and check it out, but let Aiden Sheldon accompany you."

Aiden Sheldon is an outsider; by having him accompany, it can remind some people that Autumn Stetford is already a married daughter of the Stetford Family.

A married daughter is like water that’s been spilled, if anyone still isn’t vigilant, then they shouldn’t keep those eyes.

Richard Stetford thought coldly.

Aiden Sheldon and Autumn Stetford simultaneously looked at Richard Stetford with astonishment.

Aiden Sheldon almost immediately understood Richard Stetford’s intention, knowing he didn’t want Autumn Stetford to meddle in the Stetford Family’s affairs anymore.

However, Autumn Stetford felt this was a sign of Richard Stetford’s greater trust in her, since even Aiden Sheldon wasn’t excluded.

Both had their thoughts, but they stood up together.

...

After leaving the Stetford Family mansion, Evan Stetford sat in the car, and his anger vanished in an instant.
