Chapter 975: Chapter 467: Where Did This Nobody Come From, Stealing the Spotlight (Second Update)

Lawrence Winters offered an analysis that was logical and evidence-based, and the Blythe couple nodded together, "That’s definitely it. We’ve already called the three caregivers, asking them to come here tomorrow for Great Heavenly Master Winters to question them one by one."

Lawrence Winters suddenly startled, "Huh? You want me to interrogate them? But I’m not the police... You should call the police, not mention the geomantic formation, just say someone... someone is using inducement methods to cause suicide."

The Blythe couple refused and actually knelt down to plead with her, "Great Heavenly Master Winters, please help us! We can pay for you to intervene, how about that? We don’t lack money, without Alice, what’s the point of earning so much money?"

Lawrence Winters felt a bit of headache and lowered her eyes to look at them.

Facing parents who could kneel to outsiders for their daughter’s life, she couldn’t say harsh words.

But she wasn’t omnipotent either; she couldn’t take on every job and earn all kinds of money!

"Great Heavenly Master Winters, please! Only you can truly save her! Really!"

"...I still don’t understand where your confidence in me comes from," Lawrence Winters sighed, "Don’t morally coerce me."

"No, no! We don’t intend any moral coercion!" Mr. Blythe hurriedly shook his head, "We truly... truly... were directed by a high sage that we should only seek you!"

Lawrence Winters just wanted to roll her eyes.

What kind of high sage?

Could they be higher than her?

When it comes to geomancy and fortune-telling, she’s very confident.

But to investigate cases like the police, forgive me, I can’t do it...!

Lawrence Winters’ inner thoughts were almost filling the screen.

However, she still appeared natural on the surface, smiled, and said, "I appreciate your trust in me, let’s talk again tomorrow, after I’ve had another talk with Miss Blythe, okay?"

She planned to read Alice Blythe’s fortune thoroughly tomorrow, then decide how to advise the Blythe couple.

The Blythe couple nodded repeatedly and personally saw her out, escorting her to the door of her room.

Lawrence Winters entered the room, courteously standing at the door said, "Good night to both of you."

As she closed the room door, she again noticed the shadow of dark golden dust, stretching from the Blythe couple’s master bedroom all the way to her room door.

As she tried to look closer, that dark golden dust seemed like a residue on her retina, blink once and it disappeared again.

Lawrence Winters leaned against the door and yawned.

Really too tired, she preferred to believe she was hallucinating due to sleep deprivation.

A dreamless night.

The next morning, she was awakened by a series of knocks on the door.

"Lawrence, it’s breakfast. It’s eight o’clock; aren’t you getting up?"

It was Daoist Wang’s voice.

Lawrence Winters grabbed her phone to check the time and did a swift turn out of bed.

"I’m up, I’m up! What are we having for breakfast? Save some for me!"

Lawrence Winters realized she was indeed famished, nearly starving to hypoglycemia, indicating how much energy her body had expended yesterday!

Not even a steamed large lobster could fill her!

"For breakfast, there’s steamed buns, millet sea cucumber porridge, fried dough sticks, sweet and savory tofu brain, tea eggs, and five-spiced boiled peanuts."

Lawrence Winters was instantly delighted; they were all her favorites!

"Give me three minutes, I’ll be right there!"

She rushed into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, before changing into another outfit.

This time she didn’t wear a hoodie and sports cropped pants but changed into casual khaki work trousers, with Ralph Lauren’s white tennis shoes with dark gold thread.

The white large-collar silk cotton blend top revealed a quietly resting Jadeite Jade Pendant necklace between her collarbones.

This was given to her by her grandmaster, which she wore deliberately today to boost her fortune.

In the dining room, the seven Daoists, and the host, guide, were already seated around the table voraciously dining.

The guide saw Lawrence Winters come in, eyes lit up, hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss Winters, please sit over here."

The dining room instantly erupted in a burst of mischievous laughter, understanding without saying a word.

Lawrence Winters acted as if she hadn’t heard, and smilingly sat down next to Daoist Wang, asking the guide, "Have you finished eating? Which of these is the most delicious?"

Her words not only eased the awkwardness but also gave the guide guy a way to step down, and unobtrusively shifted the topic.

The guide guy was indeed in high spirits and immediately began to introduce today’s breakfast, enthusiastically recommending the steamed buns, saying there were ones with pork filling, beef filling, lamb filling, and one basket specifically designated for her, with crab filling.

Lawrence Winters widened her eyes, even more surprised: "That’s my favorite, hahaha...!"

That basket of crab-filled steamed buns was not large in size, noticeably smaller than the other types of fillings.
