Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 702 - 365: Good Causes and Good Consequences (Second Update, October Monthly Ticket 2400+)

Chapter 702: Chapter 365: Good Causes and Good Consequences (Second Update, October Monthly Ticket 2400+)

Kenneth Osborne glanced at her, said nothing, and just quietly looked away.

Mrs. Osborne blinked her little eyes, her face full of wrinkles expressing "how could this happen," as she said, "...but Kenneth’s sister wouldn’t do this... She loves her brother the most, she definitely wouldn’t do such a thing."

"Why not? It’s the old saying: ’marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.’ No matter how obedient Brooke is, she’s also married and has children. Do you think she’d treat her brother better than her own son?" Lawrence Winters unhesitatingly instigated against Brooke Osborne.

If Brooke Osborne hadn’t intervened, she wouldn’t have had such a fallout with Kenneth Osborne.

Lawrence Winters is a Heavenly Master, especially concerned with cause and effect.

She had planted good causes but hadn’t received good results, so she needed to sever this chain of causality to avoid further harm to herself.

Therefore, she didn’t leave any room for Brooke Osborne.

Mr. Osborne listened from the side and thought that sounded about right.

However, he wasn’t completely convinced, so he stared at Lawrence Winters and asked, "...you’re saying Kenneth wasn’t pushed away by you? But Kenneth issued a statement, I saw it, he stepped down."

Lawrence Winters smiled with a light-hearted demeanor, "He did that so his sister and brother-in-law wouldn’t meddle and take our territory. As long as you can handle his sister and brother-in-law, wouldn’t Kenneth’s return just be a matter of moments?"

Mr. and Mrs. Osborne exchanged a glance, pondering in their hearts.

Brooke Osborne’s side has it too good, and they can’t afford to offend her.

But on Kenneth Osborne’s side, what Lawrence Winters said made more sense.

This was their son and daughter-in-law’s real estate business, they couldn’t let their daughter and son-in-law take it over.

Ultimately, Kenneth Osborne still carries the Osborne surname, while Brooke Osborne, having married Cameron Spencer, now carries the Spencer surname.

The old couple cursed Brooke Osborne in their hearts for siding with outsiders while still holding onto Lawrence Winters, urging her to continue.

Edward Foster watched from the side, amazed.

What kind of people are these...?

Was Lawrence Winters owing them money, or had she hit one of them, coming to settle accounts?

But seeing how Lawrence Winters could keep smiling and gently talking with them, managing to coax the old couple into compliance, he had to admit she was truly a top student in public relations — handling this in-law relationship to the point where the mother-in-law would take her daughter-in-law’s side to deal with her sister-in-law...

This kind of adaptability is rare even in their family’s level of in-law relationships.

Kenneth Osborne pursed his lips, holding Mrs. Osborne’s arm, and said plainly, "Alright, you two go back and ask sister and brother-in-law what they really intend. If they’re truly looking out for me, they shouldn’t disturb me or interfere in my matters."

With that, he lifted Mrs. Osborne with one arm and Mr. Osborne with the other, half-forcing them to leave, and escorted them to the Lexus sedan across the street.

There was a driver inside, waiting for them.

Kenneth Osborne stuffed Mr. and Mrs. Osborne into the car, shut the door, smiled and waved reluctantly at them, and said to the driver, "Please take them back."

Mr. and Mrs. Osborne actually lived in the same neighborhood as Lawrence Winters, not far from where she worked, about a twenty-minute walk.

When Kenneth Osborne turned back to the crosswalk, he realized Lawrence Winters was no longer there, and neither was Edward Foster.

He took out his phone to call Lawrence Winters, only to find he was still blocked by her.

He sent her a WeChat message instead.

Fortunately, he wasn’t blocked on WeChat.

At this moment, Lawrence Winters didn’t see his WeChat message either.

She didn’t take Edward Foster’s car, but instead chose to walk home alone.

She wanted to use this opportunity to reflect quietly.

So much had happened recently; she really needed to think things through.

...

Kenneth Osborne returned to his car, started the engine, intending to catch up with Lawrence Winters, when his phone rang again.

He glanced at it and saw it was the director of the company’s technology department.

A call at this time likely indicated a serious issue.

Kenneth Osborne reluctantly swiped the screen to answer, asking, "This is Kenneth Osborne, what’s the matter?"

The director on the other end was anxious, "Mr. Osborne, the batch of high-end servers we ordered from abroad, they’re asking for half the payment upfront!"

"Weren’t they supposed to be cash on delivery?" Kenneth Osborne frowned, "Why are they asking for upfront payment?"

"They said because of the large order volume, they don’t trust the letter of credit we issued and require half the payment first before they ship."

Kenneth Osborne’s company, Genesis Enterprise, had been established for less than a year, and compared to those mature large enterprises that had been in operation for decades or even centuries, it lacked the most in terms of corporate management rules and business processes.
