Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 773: Chapter 397: Don’t Be Fooled by Her (First Update)

In Autumn Stetford’s life, no one had ever countered her so directly.

She stared incredulously at Lawrence Winters, her classical and gentle face showing a look of shock, not knowing how to respond.

Lawrence Winters tilted his head with a smile, ”Right? Mrs. Stetford? Are you saying that you take full responsibility for all the problems arising in this house?”

Autumn Stetford came to her senses, closed her eyes to hide the deep disgust and helplessness in them, and said indifferently, ”This is my home, so what I say goes. But if a thief comes in, the most I can do is catch the thief. I can’t take the blame for the thief, can I?”

”Mrs. Stetford, how could a thief possibly intrude with the Sheldons’ security so tight?” Lawrence Winters shook her head with a smile, ”It seems Mrs. Stetford doesn’t want me to point out the ’strangeness’ of your home. Well, then forget it, I never work for free. Even when I occasionally feel charitable, no one wants it. Guess it’s the will of the heavens.”

She bowed towards Autumn Stetford and Aiden Sheldon, ”I think you two should take your precious daughter to the hospital. Even if she’s possessed, she’s harmed her body and needs treatment and care. — Farewell.”

”Stop!”

”Stop!”

”Stop!”

Aiden Sheldon, Autumn Stetford, and Peter Grant called out in unison.

Lawrence Winters raised his eyes in surprise, her gaze sweeping past Aiden Sheldon’s severe and ruthless face, moving to Autumn Stetford’s tear-filled eyes, and finally landing on Peter Grant’s beaming pancake face.

”...What do you mean by this? Not letting me explain, nor letting me leave. Have you decided to administer private punishment and frame me?” Lawrence Winters hardened her face, ”Let me make it clear, if you dare to do this, don’t say I didn’t warn you, watch out for the end of the Sheldon family’s good fortune!”

”Shut up! Even if you die, the Sheldon family will not fall!” Autumn Stetford suddenly went crazy, jumping up from the sofa and charging towards Lawrence Winters.

Lawrence Winters effortlessly sidestepped, and Aiden Sheldon stepped forward in time, holding onto Autumn Stetford, frowning, ”Autumn, calm down.”

”How can I calm down?! It’s because of her that our daughter... our precious daughter is tormented beyond recognition! Aiden, you must avenge our daughter! Boohoo!” Autumn Stetford cried, collapsing into Aiden Sheldon’s arms.

Lawrence Winters rolled her eyes speechlessly and said irritably, ”You sound like you truly care about your daughter, but why won’t you listen to reason? Why would I want to harm your daughter? I’m not even familiar with her!”

”Besides, what benefit would it bring me to hurt her? I’m not a Sheldon, nor do I have any connection with your family. Am I insane to harm the daughter of a family ranked first on the rich list? Do you think I have no ambition or intelligence?”

Mrs. Fu nodded earnestly and said, ”Aiden, Autumn, I think what Lawrence is saying makes sense. If you truly love Betty, you should listen to what she has to say. Even if you suspect her, shouldn’t you be open to hearing all sides to make an informed decision? Isn’t that right?”

When Mrs. Fu spoke, Autumn Stetford instinctively looked at Aiden Sheldon.

Aiden Sheldon stared at Lawrence Winters, his brows furrowed even more, with deep creases forming between them.

He asked in a deep voice, ”What do you mean by what you just said? Does Betty’s condition really have nothing to do with you?”

Peter Grant could not believe his ears and hurriedly pointed at Lawrence Winters, ”Mr. Sheldon, don’t be deceived by her! It’s her! It was clearly her doing!”

”You don’t know, the Zhang faction within the Celestial Path Sect is incredibly powerful! They can harm without a trace!”

”From their ancestors to the current seventy-eighth generation successor Nick Zeller! They have always been leaders among the four major factions of the Celestial Master Sect! And Lawrence Winters! She’s also very famous within the Celestial Master Sect! She’s the one who did it!”

Lawrence Winters clenched her fists and said sharply, ”Shut up! Since you know I’m more powerful than you, you should listen to me!”

She looked at Aiden Sheldon and Autumn Stetford, raised an eyebrow, and curved her lips into a smile, ”You all heard it. The people you hired are praising me for being more formidable. Shouldn’t you listen to me? Maybe I am the benefactor destined to help Ruby Sheldon.”

”Ah, pff!” Peter Grant was bewildered by Lawrence Winters, and hurriedly stammered, ”I’m saying you’re more skilled at harm! When did I ever say you’re more powerful than me! Don’t flatter yourself!”

”That’s not what you said just now.” Lawrence Winters found Peter Grant annoying, and suddenly reached out, placing her hand on Peter Grant’s shoulder, pressing on his acupoint.

Peter Grant instantly felt numb all over, unable to move, and his legs involuntarily bent as he knelt in front of Lawrence Winters.
