Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 1020: Chapter 481: Loud Calculations

”The tasks distributed among the three groups are as follows: Group A Lawrence Winters will neither accept Mrs. Fang’s nor Miss Tang’s commissions to conduct an independent investigation.”

”Group B, our friend Zhuge, will accept Mrs. Fang’s commission to investigate Miss Tang’s situation.”

”Group C, our friends Wang and Quan, will accept Miss Tang’s commission to investigate Mr. Yu.”

”The final competition results will be determined by the judges based on scores according to rules.”

After the host finished speaking, he shared the address of Mr. Yu and Mrs. Fang’s home.

Of course, viewers watching the live broadcast couldn’t see the specific address; such privacy-sensitive information is always directly pixelated.

Only those in this small conference hall could see the complete view.

On the big screen appeared a beautiful scene of blue sky, white clouds, lush mountains, and clear waters.

The clip seemed to be shot in the early morning after heavy rain, with a thin mist lingering among the trees.

”After the new rain in the empty mountain, clear springs flow over the stones.”

A few small fallow deer were drinking water and admiring their reflections by the creek.

Amidst the green trees, a corner of a vast white building is revealed.

The host introduced, ”Here is the suburbs of Arcadia, California, and this neighborhood is called Melany Community.”

This white building is a large Spanish-style villa, very different from the sharp-edged Victoria colonial-style house of the Zhou family couple from the Eastern Region.

The camera swept over the community from above, quickly coming to the edge near the primeval forest.

At the edge of the forest stands an elegant French country-style mansion.

The house is tall, with three stories above ground, grand and magnificent yet possessing a delicate elegance, blending perfectly with the nearby primeval forest.

It seems like Snow White might dash out from the forest looking for the cottage of the seven dwarfs, or perhaps Little Red Riding Hood would run out with her basket, evading the wolf’s pursuit.

The host laughed and said, ”The first white Spanish-style villa everyone sees is the home of our client, Mrs. Fang. She and Mr. Yu have lived here for decades.”

”The second French country-style mansion is Miss Tang’s home.”

Lawrence Winters curled his lips, thinking, is this a case of ’the rabbit wanting to eat the grass by the nest’?

This is about neighbors becoming lovers...

But then the host added, ”Miss Tang rented this house, only moving into the community a couple of years ago.”

Lawrence Winters: ”...”

Alright, it appears to be a prepared move.

Lawrence Winters rubbed his hands together, feeling a bit impatient.

”Alright, the situation has been fully explained. We’re setting off right away, taking Mr. Stetford’s private plane to Western California.”

”For easier management, everyone will stay together this time. We’ve rented a large house in this community, with eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms, enough for everyone to have a room.”

This time, there are fewer people going: four competitors, one host, one assistant acting as a driver, and a local guide, totaling just seven people. Staying in a house with eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms is obviously more than enough.

Kenneth Osborne looked up at this point and disagreed, saying: ”Miss Winters is a lady, isn’t it inconvenient for her to stay in the same house as you six men?”

Lawrence Winters originally wanted to say there was no inconvenience; with his skills, what could he fear about these physically weaker but heavier men?

But then thinking about it, staying with so many people might indeed make it hard to do anything without anyone knowing...

He then nodded, making a faces that portrayed a difficult expression, and said, ”It is indeed inconvenient... As a girl sharing a house with six men, even if you don’t mind, I care about my reputation...”

Kenneth Osborne: ”...” ℴℴ𝘮

Evan Stetford: ”...”

Aiden Sheldon: ”...”

Ruby Sheldon just wanted to roll her eyes. A woman who is so capable of fighting acting like a frail little flower?

The six men together couldn’t beat her!

But when Lawrence Winters wants to convince others, he is very persuasive.

At this moment, many people forgot how skilled this woman was.

Everyone plunged into the thought of ”It’s truly not great for a girl to live with so many men” and unconsciously agreed with Lawrence Winters.

The other six people twitched their mouths, all thinking, what does ”you don’t mind, but I care about my reputation” mean?

We men care about our reputation too!

They all looked at Evan Stetford, the chairman of the organizing committee.

Evan Stetford looked a bit uncomfortable.

Buying a house in the suburb of Arcadia, California, was infamously expensive, especially in Melany Community where even the cheapest houses were eight figures.

The rental for the house was $100,000 per week.

But to rent a separate house for Lawrence Winters would be impossible.

Of course, letting Lawrence Winters rent a bedroom in someone else’s home was not possible either.

She wouldn’t be willing to live with others.

As everyone was looking at each other in dismay, Quentin Parker spoke slowly: ”I used to own a house over there, I’ve just reclaimed the ownership recently. Miss Winters can take my plane over there with me and take possession of the house, and she can stay at my place.”
