Chapter 1010 - 478: Not Understanding a Man’s Heart (Second Update)

Chapter 1010: Chapter 478: Not Understanding a Man’s Heart (Second Update)

Alcohol can numb one’s will, slow down actions, and cause people to blurt out things they wouldn’t usually say.

Aiden Sheldon looked at Lawrence Winters and slurred, "Miss... Miss Winters, you don’t have to be afraid of me... I... I won’t do anything to you."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

She amusingly sized up Aiden Sheldon, who could barely stand, raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you going to do to me? Looking at you, I should be more worried about what I might do to you... Are you doubting my skills?"

Aiden Sheldon: "..."

Hearing Lawrence Winters’ voice, Aiden Sheldon’s mind gradually cleared.

The girl in front of him had a similar silhouette to someone he knew, but her appearance was completely different, and the way she spoke was unlike that person.

Yet she still irresistibly drew his gaze.

Aiden Sheldon straightened up, gently pushed Kenneth Osborne aside, and said to Lawrence Winters, "Sorry for the disturbance, I mistook you for someone else."

As he turned to leave, he added, "I know Betty holds some bias against Miss Winters, but she means no harm. Besides, she’s not well, so we might be spoiling her too much. If there’s any offense, I hope Miss Winters can forgive us."

Lawrence Winters chuckled, "Mr. Sheldon, it’s really bold of you to say that. Are you truly unaware if she harbors any malice? And spoiling your daughter is your business, why should regular people bear the consequences? — Sorry, if it happens again, I won’t forgive."

Aiden Sheldon’s pupils contracted slightly but quickly returned to normal.

He nodded, "I understand, I’ll restrain Betty. I hope Miss Winters can let bygones be bygones. Should there be another incident, we’ll discuss it then?"

Lawrence Winters smirked, "I hope you can restrain her, especially your wife."

"What does my wife have to do with this?" Aiden Sheldon frowned, "She’s merely concerned for Betty."

"If you say so, then it must be so. It’s late, I’m tired, and need to go back to sleep." Lawrence Winters yawned, indeed looking quite fatigued.

Kenneth Osborne hurried back, naturally holding her hand, nodded towards Aiden Sheldon, "Mr. Sheldon, your bodyguards are waiting for you in the back."

Lawrence Winters also noticed Aiden Sheldon’s bodyguards.

The two stood there, watching as Aiden Sheldon’s bodyguards came to support him and led him back the way he came.

Once Lawrence Winters and Kenneth Osborne got back in the car, neither spoke.

Kenneth Osborne was still thinking about his conversation with Abigail Henderson and planned to review the legal books she provided.

Lawrence Winters was pondering Aiden Sheldon’s attitude.

Why did this old man suddenly do a 180-degree turn?

From what she heard, anyone who provoked Ruby Sheldon would face "fatal blows" from Aiden Sheldon’s couple. ℴ

Even family, relatives, and friends would be implicated.

That’s why she neither wanted to bow to Ruby Sheldon nor kept looking for support.

Tonight, she recognized Quentin Parker as an elder brother to protect herself from the Sheldon Family.

Because Evan Stetford suggested it, it seems even the Stetford Family’s influence might not be enough to stop Aiden Sheldon from "seeking justice" for his daughter.

But with Quentin Parker, the situation reversed.

This old man clearly doesn’t dare to provoke Quentin Parker.

So it really depends on who they’re dealing with.

Lawrence Winters snorted lightly.

Kenneth Osborne was driving and glanced at her, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about the second round of the competition." Lawrence Winters said casually.

After this weekend, the second round of the competition will begin.

Kenneth Osborne didn’t doubt, nodded, and said, "Be careful, if possible, I’d follow you to the competition."

"Of course not possible." Lawrence Winters responded without hesitation.

Kenneth Osborne smirked and decided not to argue with her.

...

It was late at night, and Aiden Sheldon suddenly didn’t feel like returning to the Stetford residence, so he asked the driver to take him home in New York.

His house is near Central Park, a four-story standalone building.

This house doesn’t have much of a yard or lawn, but in such a prime area like Central Park, a standalone house was already extremely expensive.

After getting home, he went to the bathroom to freshen up, washed away the smell of alcohol, and changed into pajamas.

That’s when his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw it was Ruby Sheldon calling.

Aiden Sheldon quickly swiped to answer, "Betty, you’re still up so late?"

"Dad, I’m waiting for you! Are you still out at a dinner event? Don’t drink too much..." Ruby Sheldon said coquettishly.

A warmth spread through Aiden Sheldon’s fatherly heart, and he smiled, "We’ve already finished dinner. You should go to sleep, I’m not coming back today."

"Huh? Not coming back? Where are you staying? Dad, mom and I want to come with you!" Ruby Sheldon said in surprise.
