Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 677: Chapter 353: The Wheel of Fortune Turns (Second Update, 1200+ Monthly Tickets)

Joan Lawson let out a bitter laugh on the other end of the phone, almost choking on the water she had just drunk.

After catching her breath for a moment, she said, ”Don’t worry, he is your son, and will always be, no one can take him away.”

”As long as you know,” Kenneth Osborne’s mother sighed with relief and chuckled, ”We are sisters after all, and you wouldn’t want your current husband to find out about those things of yours, would you?”

Joan Lawson’s face darkened slightly, but she didn’t lose her temper and shifted the topic indifferently, ”Alright, since you put it that way, I won’t meddle. By the way, when exactly is the wedding? I’ll transfer the money to him first. I might not be free at that time.”

Kenneth’s mother initially wanted Joan Lawson to attend Kenneth Osborne’s wedding, but suddenly she didn’t want that, so she replied perfunctorily, ”Okay, you can transfer it to me first, and I’ll pass it on to Kenneth.”

Joan Lawson laughed slightly, ”I know Kenneth’s phone number. Alright, I’m heading home now, haven’t had dinner yet.”

”Oh? Hurry back then, take care,” Kenneth’s mother said softly, while sneaking a glance around.

Dusk fell suddenly by the seaside as night arrived.

Kenneth’s mother hurriedly took a few quick steps, holding the hydrangeas she had just picked, and left.

Not long after she left, someone emerged from behind the large banyan tree—it was Spring Spencer.

She gazed at Kenneth’s mother’s back with a hint of surprise, her brows slightly furrowed.

But she quickly shook her head and walked off in another direction.

Summer Spencer and Blake Leaf were on the other side of the lawn, seemingly in an argument, both with somewhat unpleasant expressions.

Spring Spencer walked over, and only then did the two stop arguing.

Spring Spencer pretended not to notice and said with a smile, ”It’s getting late, I want to head back. What about you two?”

Summer Spencer was currently in need of her help and quickly replied, ”Sis, we’ll head back too.”

Looking at her flatteringly, she added, ”When can I visit the second mistress?”

Spring Spencer smiled and said, ”No need, my mother is quite busy these days, and you two have a lot going on as well. Wait for my update.”

”Sure, sure!” Summer Spencer dared not disobey a single word, thanking her repeatedly.

Spring Spencer turned to leave, and after she walked far enough away, Blake Leaf sneered, ”How come you need your sister now? Didn’t you always look down on her?”

”Shut up!” Summer Spencer, full of anger, directed it at Blake Leaf, ”When did it become your turn to interfere in my sisterly matters? You’re just marrying into the Spencer Family; when will you change your last name?”

”Why should I change my last name?” Blake Leaf was taken aback. ”I’m just marrying in, not selling myself.”

”You’re wrong. Selling oneself doesn’t require a name change; marrying in does. It’s an old rule in our Southern Region,” Summer Spencer shot him a cold glance, then picked up her phone and called Nathan right in front of Blake.

”Mr. Nathan, how’s the progress on your end? If it’s not done soon, expect a lawyer’s letter from me,” Summer Spencer said bluntly.

Nathan had been contemplating for a long time, several times almost wishing to turn against Summer Spencer and confess everything to his wife.

But the evidence Summer Spencer held against him was too solid, leaving him no room to struggle.

He didn’t regret what happened back then; the risks were known when he made his move.

He only regretted not finishing off Blake Leaf when he had the chance.

A moment of mercy led to this outcome.

Summer Spencer pressed harder, originally thinking to delay a bit more, but Summer now needed money urgently and wouldn’t listen, only throwing him an ultimatum: ”If you don’t sign the transfer contract by tomorrow, I’ll send all the materials to court. Then you’ll have to return everything, and also face legal consequences.”

In truth, it wasn’t a transfer, but merely things returning to their original owner.

Nathan had no choice. He stayed up all night at home, then early the next morning went to the company, took the official seal and his wife’s private seal, and signed off all the real estate in transfer agreements, ”selling” them to Summer Spencer and Blake Leaf at an extremely low symbolic price.

He called Summer Spencer and Blake Leaf to come for the transfer; his wife, Chloe Fang, was completely unaware.

Because he was a lawyer, making a proxy agreement was not hard at all.

So, when all the properties of Ride Wind Commercial Properties Co. were transferred at a low price to Summer Spencer and Blake Leaf, Nathan took the one million in cash Summer gave him, transferred half of his family’s savings to an overseas account, left Chloe Fang a letter, and boarded a flight abroad, disappearing without a trace.

Chloe Fang would always remember that morning.

Just like before, she went to work at the company at ten in the morning.

But at the company entrance, she found someone dismantling the company’s golden plaque.
