Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 696 - 362: Never Again, It Will Never Happen Again

But although Kenneth Osborne answered the phone, he didn’t say anything.

The argument he had with Lawrence Winters in the car just now was still fresh in his mind, and he hadn’t recovered from it. He wasn’t in the mood to act like everything was fine.

On Lawrence’s side, it seemed he hadn’t thought that far, and he got straight to the point by asking, "Ken, was it you who issued the statement to withdraw from our partnership?"

Kenneth felt a tinge of irony in his heart and responded with a faint "Hmm."

"What does ’hmm’ even mean? Why are you withdrawing?" Lawrence asked, very dissatisfied, "Is it because of our argument? Even kids in kindergarten wouldn’t do that, come on!"

Kenneth curled his lips, "This isn’t about an argument. I’ve thought it through; as long as I’m involved, the Spencer Group will surely interfere, and we can’t shake them off. So it’s better for me to withdraw and eliminate their opportunity to meddle."

Lawrence rubbed his temples, "How could you think that? Do you think that if you’re not involved, Cameron Spencer will let us go? He’ll definitely find a way to keep stirring things up."

"I’ve heard people say Cameron Spencer is particularly shameless. Whatever he wants, he’ll do anything to get it. If he can’t have it, he’ll destroy it so no one else can either! — He’s just that unreasonable!"

Kenneth frowned, "Who did you hear that from?"

Lawrence was slightly taken aback and replied instinctively, "That’s not the point. The point is that you withdrew without consulting me. Am I not even worth considering to you? Also, do you think withdrawing will solve the problem?"

"Why isn’t that the point?" Kenneth said in a low voice, "I need to know the source of the information to make a correct judgment. Who told you what Cameron Spencer is like?"

Lawrence hesitated for a moment but still said, "It was Edward Foster. He meant well..."

"Edward Foster again? Why did he tell you about this? Did you go to him?" Kenneth’s temper flared even more.

"He saw your statement trending and called to ask what was going on. He meant well, and I didn’t throw you under the bus. I told him it was something we agreed on," Lawrence also frowned.

Kenneth was quite resistant to information coming from Edward Foster.

With a blank expression, he put on his Bluetooth headset, set his phone aside, and continued comparing code with one hand on the mouse, saying, "No matter what kind of person Cameron Spencer is, it has nothing to do with you anymore. I’m out, so he won’t have a legitimate reason to interfere."

Lawrence, in a huff, said, "Can you at least consult with me before you make these decisions in the future? We’re supposed to be partners; is this how partners work?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Kenneth thought, no wonder the veterans in the investment world always say that you shouldn’t do business with your spouse; otherwise, you’ll end up having minor arguments every three days and major ones every five days, which seriously affects family life...

He said lightly, "I won’t. It won’t happen again."

...

Cameron Spencer’s subordinates also saw the trending topic and immediately reported it to him.

Cameron Spencer snorted, thinking Kenneth Osborne sure acts quickly...

But does he really think that by withdrawing, Cameron Spencer will also withdraw?

It’s just too naive.

Still too young.

Cameron Spencer chuckled and called over Brooke Osborne, saying amiably, "Your brother suddenly withdrew from his cooperation with the Winters Family. Do you know why?"

Brooke was bewildered, "He withdrew? No way, I was talking to him about it this afternoon!"

Cameron showed her the trending topic.

Brooke wasn’t much for social media, and when she saw it, she was dumbfounded, "How could this happen? He didn’t even discuss it with me."

Cameron said, "Maybe the Winters Family was dissatisfied with him, or maybe the money is already in place, so they can push him out. In any case, you should remind your brother that the ten billion for the Winters family’s land purchase was guaranteed by his company."

Brooke’s eyes widened, and her heart sank, "Thank you, Mr. Spencer. I’ll call him right away."

She dialed Kenneth’s phone for a long time before getting through, and asked, "Ken, why did you withdraw from the partnership with the Winters? Did they make things difficult for you?"

Kenneth felt a bit irritated but responded patiently, "No, it was my own decision. I think it’s better for me to stick to the industry I’m familiar with. I’m really not familiar with real estate development, so it’s better to let it go. Also, since I’ve withdrawn, you shouldn’t get involved either; it’s their business, their land."

By saying this, he meant for Brooke not to focus on the Winters’ business.

But to Brooke’s ears, it confirmed Cameron Spencer’s words that Kenneth had been "burned bridges" after crossing them.
