Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 770: Chapter 396: Telling the Truth, as Expected (Second Update)

The Moonlit Tower was used as a dance hall, and the main building was certainly spacious.

After the unrelated guests left, only the Sheldon family, the Spencer family, and the couple of families within Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Sheng’s circle were present.

The Spencer family’s elder madam, Brooke Osborne, and the second madam, Ava Harlow, coincidentally stayed behind for different reasons.

Ava Harlow wanted to see the spectacle, while Brooke Osborne stayed because of Lawrence Winters.

She always knew that Lawrence Winters and her uncle were into feng shui, but she had never seen anything like today’s event; she just wanted to observe more to tell Kenneth Osborne.

Autumn Stetford raised her eyes and noticed that these families were almost all in the top ten of the wealth list.

No wonder they dared to stay.

No matter whom they supported, they had the confidence.

Moreover...

Autumn Stetford smirked.

For them, today’s incident at their home was equally curious and alarming.

To be in the top ten wealthiest, no matter how hard-working, capable, or opportunistic, there’s always some ethereal luck involved.

And maintaining that luck inevitably involves dealing with feng shui fortune tellers.

Especially the old-school wealthy, they are more superstitious.

Aiden Sheldon sat on the sofa, using a tissue to wipe Ruby Sheldon’s face.

The dark things she spat out vanished upon contact with the tissue.

Aiden Sheldon paused for a moment but continued wiping her face.

Ryan Sheldon watched from the side, feeling a bit weak at the knees.

Oh my god!

Did he really see this?!

Nathan Sheldon quietly stepped back, no longer standing with them.

Autumn Stetford didn’t want him to show himself now, so he stayed low-key.

Peter Grant, with Autumn Stetford’s support, was even more arrogant towards Lawrence Winters: ”...Great Heavenly Master Winters, I advise you to reconsider, don’t continue to hold Miss Sheldon under this Nightmare Town...”

Lawrence Winters frowned, arms still crossed, and said coldly, ”I said if she’s really possessed, it’s not anyone else’s fault but the Sheldon family’s!”

”What nonsense are you talking?!” Autumn Stetford’s face fell, ”Just now, Heavenly Master Grant clearly stated, these talismans are yours, the paper figures are yours, now you say it’s my family’s fault?!—Do you think just because you speak, we all must listen to you?”

Peter Grant also jumped up and cursed: ”The evidence is clear, yet you still want to argue! You want me to kneel to you! Don’t you see what kind of trash you are, do you deserve it?!”

Lawrence Winters’ face darkened slightly, dropped his arms, stepped forward swiftly, and slapped Peter Grant, scolding harshly: ”Watch your mouth! Hasn’t your master taught you that disrespecting the ancestor will bring down heavenly punishment?!”

”Bah! You’re the one who deserves heavenly punishment...!” Before Peter Grant finished cursing, suddenly a lightning bolt split the night sky outside, illuminating the courtyard like daylight.

Then, with a roar, thunder boomed, shaking the roof with rumbling noise.

Immediately after, a downpour started, with dense raindrops blanketing the small building in a layer of gray mist.

The rain suddenly intensified, with droplets even splashing onto the porch.

The scent of rain mingled with the fragrance of grass wafted in through the wide-open door, mixed with the cold air-conditioning inside, creating an unpleasant smell.

Autumn Stetford frowned slightly, saying, ”Close the door, it’s raining heavily.”

Peter Grant was dumbfounded by the thunder.

He trembled and fumbled in his suit pocket for a while, eventually pulling out a string of black and white pearls, holding them between his fingers and hastily chanting prayers.

Lawrence Winters tilted his head and listened for a moment, recognizing he was chanting the Celestial Path Scripture of Five Thunders passed down by Celestial Master Sect - Grant Branch founder Peter Grant in ancient times to counter heavenly tribulation during cultivation.

Lawrence Winters sneered inwardly, thinking he’s a coward, daring to challenge her!

She snorted lightly, watching the slowly closing door, and said indifferently, ”Closing the door is useless. Sheldon family’s prosperity over the years, you should know better than me.”

Autumn Stetford frowned deeper, displeased, said, ”Alright, stop dragging this out, wasting time. My daughter Betty is in this state now, will you not relent? Do you really want us to take you to the police station before you repent?”

”Take me to the police station?” Lawrence Winters sneered, turned his hand and pointed to himself, ”Evidence? Mrs. Stetford, my family runs the Celestial Master office, selling talismans online as a legitimate business. We’ve sold so many talismans, if something goes wrong, should we be responsible for all?”
