Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 460: Chapter 250: The Whole World Is Supposed to Be Her Mother? (Third Update)

Age is a woman’s Achilles’ heel. What’s wrong with her looking mature?

It’s because she followed her uncle Nick Zeller around, seeing a lot of feng shui from a young age. She saw and understood the ways of the world.

How did that become looking older than her actual age?

Look at her face, her skin, her figure—doesn’t she look younger than twenty!

It’s not about being short and slim and not talking, that makes one look young!

For the first time, Lawrence Winters was filled with frustration, but he couldn’t express it at all in front of Ruby Sheldon’s pure, crystalline smile.

From Ruby’s demeanor, it was clear she truly grew up pampered like a precious jewel, with everyone indulging her. She’s like a princess from ancient times.

So it’s not that she doesn’t understand social norms, it’s that she doesn’t need to understand them.

Being polite is already the greatest mercy she can offer the world.

This kind of fortunely born ”favored daughter of heaven” exists to shatter the confidence of ordinary people like her.

Realizing this, Lawrence couldn’t help but feel disheartened.

It’s really hard to maintain balance when dealing with someone so far above your social class.

Lawrence confirmed once again that she is only suited for the modest life of a petit bourgeoisie.

Ruby noticed Lawrence was unhappy, but she didn’t understand why Lawrence was suddenly upset, puzzled by her temperament.

On the other end of the phone, Aiden Sheldon could see clearly that his precious daughter had misspoken.

What young woman likes being told she looks older than her actual age?

In fact, Lawrence is not ”old” at all, but she has an extraordinarily rare calmness and composure for her age.

Aiden truly appreciated this.

He slightly curved his lips into a smile with hidden sharpness and said slowly, ”You’re Miss Winters, right? Betty has been spoiled by us from a young age, she doesn’t know how to talk, but she doesn’t have any ill intent, so please don’t take it to heart, Miss Winters.”

It would have been better not to say that, because Lawrence grew even angrier.

Ruby being spoiled at home is their family matter, why should unrelated people have to spoil her too?

Is the whole world supposed to be her mother?

Lawrence tugged at the corners of her mouth, giving a forced smile, and said, ”What are you saying, Mr. Sheldon? I’ll just consider Miss Sheldon an immature child. If a child makes a mistake, what can the elders do? Just laugh it off, right?”

Aiden asked Lawrence to tolerate his daughter who couldn’t talk, so of course, Lawrence ”tolerated” her, but only as an elder.

Let’s see if Aiden could swallow his pride.

Aiden didn’t expect that this young woman, Lawrence, wouldn’t give him face.

Not only did she not give him face, but she also attempted to take advantage of Betty by posing as an ”elder.”

Given Aiden’s age, he wouldn’t deign to argue with a girl as young as Lawrence.

But Lawrence shouldn’t have, absolutely shouldn’t have, messed with his beloved daughter.

Everyone has their Achilles’ heel, and Aiden’s is his youngest daughter. Whoever touches it must die.

He immediately dropped his facade, caring neither for grace nor image.

Of course, for someone of his status, grace and image are never issues, only whether he wants to show them.

Now, he didn’t want to give Lawrence any room.

”Betty didn’t say anything wrong, rather it’s you, being so sharp-tongued and relentless, unworthy of being Betty’s friend,” Aiden said indifferently. ”For today’s matter, if you want to sue, we’ll accompany you. But don’t expect a penny if you want to settle. And let me tell you, I’m not a stingy person. If it weren’t for your disrespect towards my Betty, you wouldn’t get nothing.”

Lawrence was amused by such a domineering statement, rolling her eyes, and said, ”Is President Sheldon threatening me? Yes, I’m just an ordinary small citizen, how could I contend with people ranked first on the nation’s rich list like you? But you do realize, I’m at the police station right now, aren’t you afraid your threats will disadvantage you in court?”

”Whether it benefits me, I don’t care. I only care whether my daughter is being disrespected,” Aiden said coldly. ”Whether you have a point has nothing to do with whether you’re a small citizen, don’t try to garner sympathy by playing the victim, it won’t work.”

Ruby’s small mouth formed an ’O’, seemingly completely baffled by how things had taken such a quick downturn.

She softly wanted to speak, but a look from Aiden stopped her.

Lucas Harlow, anxious at the side, quickly mediated, saying, ”Brother-in-law, don’t be angry, Lawrence didn’t mean any harm, please, on my behalf, don’t take it out on her.”
