Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Lawrence Winters retorted sharply, "Miss Ruby Sheldon, what’s the point of talking about ’daddy’ all day long? Sure, everyone knows you have the Wealthiest as your father, but you don’t need to repeat it endlessly."

She shrugged, "I don’t have a father, but I’ve never felt there’s anything missing. You have a father, yet you mention him all the time. Hmm, interesting. You know, people emphasize what they lack..."

Ruby Sheldon stared blankly at Lawrence Winters. After a moment, she understood the underlying meaning and said angrily, "Are you saying I lack a father?! Obviously, the one who lacks a father is you! How can you twist the facts and turn the tables on me?"

"It goes both ways." Lawrence Winters didn’t want to keep tangling with Ruby, this dull person. She gave a slight bow, "I’m hungry, going to grab a bite. You three chat leisurely."

She vacated the spot and walked towards the long table with the steamed lobster.

Ruby took the opportunity to step forward, standing where Lawrence had just stood, hoping to lean on Evan Stetford to her left and Kenneth Osborne to her right, just like Lawrence.

But Kenneth Osborne was quicker to take a step back, smiling, "Nora hurt her shoulder today. We just found a physical therapist for her this afternoon. I’m worried her arm can’t exert force; I have to go peel lobster for her. — Excuse me, you two chat leisurely."

Kenneth Osborne turned and left, and Ruby quickly grabbed Evan Stetford’s arm.

Evan couldn’t pull away in time, so he had to smile wryly, "Betty, why do you have to be so aggressive towards Miss Winters? She hasn’t done anything wrong to you."

"She hasn’t wronged me? But she’s always targeting me subtly!" Ruby saw Lawrence Winters and Kenneth Osborne had left, so she didn’t suppress her feelings anymore, angrily saying, "Uncle, can’t you tell? How many times have you said she always deliberately wears the same clothes as me!"

"You’re exaggerating. At most, twice. Actually, today your clothes aren’t the same. The colors and styles are just similar. Unlike last time..." Evan Stetford was talking to Ruby, but his gaze frequently drifted towards Lawrence Winters and Kenneth Osborne.

He saw Kenneth Osborne go over and indeed start peeling lobster for Lawrence, placing the peeled lobster meat on a clean plate with a fork so Lawrence could eat directly.

Lawrence initially planned to peel the lobster herself, but soon she realized her arm still felt uncomfortable, wanting not to undo the results of an afternoon of physiotherapy.

She didn’t hesitate to pick up the lobster meat that Kenneth Osborne had peeled for her and began eating.

Evan Stetford watched, unable to take his eyes off.

Ruby saw this, stomped her foot, and said, "Uncle, I want you to peel lobster for me too!"

Evan snapped out of it, putting away his smile, and said lightly, "I just remembered there’s something I need to talk to the organizing committee about. You go by yourself first, or ask your father to peel lobster for you."

With that, he quickly turned and left.

Ruby instinctively wanted to grab Evan, but this time he moved so fast, like a slippery eel, she couldn’t even catch the edge of his clothes before he escaped.

Both men avoided her, and Ruby certainly felt it.

The grievance in her heart was about to overflow.

She bit her lip and looked towards the lobster table for a moment, then lowered her eyes and smiled coldly, indeed going to find her father, Aiden Sheldon.

Aiden was talking to Quentin Parker at that moment.

It wasn’t easy to see this legendary figure, so Aiden naturally seized the opportunity to chat with him.

They were enthusiastically discussing the world situation, economic policies, investment directions, and the application of high-tech, and Ruby ran over.

She hadn’t even noticed Quentin Parker was there.

Seeing Quentin Parker, she immediately suppressed the grievance of being snubbed by Kenneth Osborne and Evan Stetford, and smiled at Quentin Parker, "Hi, Brother Quentin!"

Quentin Parker looked refined and handsome, with a strong scholarly air, appearing no older than in his twenties, unlike someone in their thirties.

So Ruby instinctively called him ’brother.’

Quentin Parker’s expression immediately turned cold.

His demeanor, when cold, was much more severe than Evan Stetford or Kenneth Osborne.

It was like suddenly moving from the heat of the summer into the depths of winter.

Ruby shivered involuntarily.

Aiden Sheldon hurriedly shielded Ruby and smiled at Quentin Parker, "Mr. Parker, please don’t take offense, my daughter is naive. She has a very positive impression of you, which led her to call you the wrong title."
