Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 892: Chapter 440: Supreme Forget Emotions

"Supreme Judge?" Mr. Gilbert couldn’t help but glance at Richard Stetford, who had been smiling silently the whole time, and said, "Is Evan planning to have Mr. Stetford become the Supreme Judge?"

Richard Stetford then waved his hand, still smiling, "Of course, I can’t do that, and as I’ve said, I won’t interfere with the Celestial Path Sect’s affairs. Back when Autumn was young, my father held the position. After Autumn grew up and my father passed away, Autumn took over. Now it’s Evan’s turn."

Mr. Gilbert chuckled, "Besides Mr. Stetford, who else has the qualifications to be the Supreme Judge of our Celestial Path Sect’s World Cup master competition?"

Evan Stetford’s smile grew wider, "No need for you to worry, Mr. Gilbert. I am organizing this year’s Celestial Path Sect World Cup master competition. I’ve drafted the rules and will announce them before the competition starts tomorrow."

What he actually meant was, I’ve set the rules, telling you is just a courtesy, don’t push your luck.

Mr. Gilbert understood his implication, and his smile was starting to falter.

Caitlin Gilbert exclaimed carelessly, "...Evan, since you’ve already decided, why ask our opinion?"

Olivia Gilbert snapped back to attention, immediately glared at her, and then smoothed things over, saying, "Evan is respecting Father and our Grant Branch by giving us an explanation. Caitlin, watch your words, does Evan need your consent to do anything?"

Caitlin understood and sheepishly said, "Alright, I was overthinking. But I’m also more intrigued. This time there are five, no, six judges who don’t understand Celestial Path Skills, I wonder how it will proceed."

"Don’t worry. Scientists who truly achieve something don’t limit themselves to one box. They might have unique insights when they look at Celestial Path Skills." Evan further explained, "And I also had them sign confidentiality agreements. Throughout their lifetime and fifty years after their death, they cannot publicly disclose what they’ve seen, not even in a small scope discussion."

"What happens in the Celestial Path Sect, stays within the Celestial Path Sect. Once outside, they must forget everything they saw completely."

Of course, signing this agreement wasn’t free; they were given a significant appearance and confidentiality fee.

Mr. Gilbert slowly nodded, his expression even more rigid, "Since Evan has thought it through so thoroughly, I am reassured."

He said, standing up, "I look forward to tomorrow’s preliminary competition, which will surely be a high-standard, unprecedented rigorous competition!"

"Mr. Gilbert, you’re too kind. I actually have no certainty about how it will turn out. These ideas were just thought up in the past few days. If it goes well, we’ll do it this way every time in the future. Of course, if it’s unsuitable, we’ll drop it. I’m not someone who doesn’t listen to advice, so you can rest assured."

Evan repeatedly told Mr. Gilbert to "rest assured", placing him on the hot seat...

Mr. Gilbert couldn’t help but glance sneakily at Richard Stetford several times, seeing that he still maintained that smile. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, making him even more uneasy.

Evan Stetford, someone just back from the entertainment world, could handle matters so impeccably, which Mr. Gilbert found hard to believe.

He felt it must be Richard Stetford advising him from behind.

With this realization, he felt even more nervous.

After exchanging a few more casual words, he smiled and said, "Olivia, Caitlin, let’s go home. There’s a lot to do tomorrow, so we shouldn’t disturb Mr. Stetford and Evan’s rest."

Caitlin had no objections, but Olivia still cast a lingering glance at Evan.

Evan lightly nodded to her, his gaze shimmering, looking in the eyes of a lover, it was like a net that tightly ensnared her in the center.

Though she didn’t want to leave immediately, with her father and sister departing, she had no choice but to follow.

After they reluctantly left, Richard Stetford quietly asked Evan, "...Did you really come up with all this on your own?"

Evan laughed, "Of course, not entirely by myself. Honestly, it was Lawrence Winters who gave me the idea. He also helped me select these judges from hundreds of scientists. I thought it made sense, so I arranged meetings with them."

"You wouldn’t believe it, but Lawrence was so thorough in his consideration. These people actually had free time recently. When I invited them, they agreed immediately and showed great interest, only charging a symbolic fee for their appearance. Truth be told, it feels like we got a great bargain!"

Evan’s eyes were filled with admiration for Lawrence Winters’ capabilities and unspeakable affection.

Richard Stetford took notice of this, feeling a bit surprised himself.

However, children grow up, and sometimes you have to let them pursue what they love. Who knows, maybe they will succeed?

Richard had a good impression of Lawrence but didn’t think she was so extraordinary as to be considered for the role of the next Stetford Family Head’s wife.

He still needed to evaluate her capabilities and character further. But so far, she’s exceeded his expectations.

Richard continued, "Who’s the Supreme Judge you found?"

"...Who else could it be?" Evan chuckled, "I’ve been scrambling today because of his visit."

"What a coincidence? How did you find him?" Richard was genuinely curious, "This person’s whereabouts are notoriously difficult to track."

"Lawrence helped me calculate his whereabouts," Evan said softly, "Sometimes I feel her abilities are so incredible that I feel a bit inferior in her presence..."

The more he got to know her, the more he felt inferior, afraid to express his feelings, afraid of being presumptuous, and even afraid of losing their friendship.

Evan rarely harbored grievances against others, but Kenneth Osborne was definitely the one he resented the most.

This person didn’t know what he had given up.

Perhaps ignorance is bliss, and unawareness is a blessing...
