Chapter 1113: Chapter 516: Return from the Grand Dream (6)

Mrs. Fu was chatting with Abigail Henderson at this moment because Abigail was Quentin Parker’s subordinate, and Mrs. Fu was very interested in Quentin’s team.

Lawrence Winters sat alone on the terrace railing, hands braced beside her, gazing distractedly at the shadows of the distant mountains.

Kenneth Osborne approached her with a cup of tea, silently standing by her side for a while.

At first, she said nothing, and he remained silent too.

The two were in silence, one sitting and one standing. In the blue dusk, the evening breeze blew in from the mountains, bringing a hint of refreshing moisture.

As the chirping of insects gradually rose and fell in the grass, Kenneth finally spoke, "...Nora, is there any problem you’re facing?"

Lawrence: "..."

She lowered her head, feeling inexplicably a bit sad.

Although he often made her angry, and though she lacked confidence, their relationship since childhood as childhood sweethearts made them share an unspoken understanding that was beyond outsiders.

When not talking about love, they got along better than anyone else.

"...What’s the matter? Why not tell me, maybe I can offer a different perspective," Kenneth said softly, "This issue might not be something that can be resolved entirely using Celestial Path Sect methods."

Though he hadn’t seen Lawrence these days, he watched her daily competition content. Sometimes he didn’t have time to catch the live stream, but he would make sure to watch the replay, no matter how tired he was at night.

Lawrence blinked, her long, thick lashes like two small wipers.

With a flutter, it seemed to clear away her cloudy mood.

Kenneth lowered his gaze to look at her, showing a gentle smile he didn’t even realize himself.

Lawrence’s head was nearly spinning from all the thinking these days.

She unwittingly began to pour out her thoughts.

Kenneth listened quietly, and finally, with the distinct linear thinking of a coder and a straightforward man, remarked, "...I think the problem doesn’t lie with Mrs. Fang, nor with Diana Thomas, nor with the orphanage, but with Miss Tang herself."

Lawrence frowned, "...But Miss Tang is already insane, a violent mental illness patient, and no one can see her."

"It’s not about seeing her, but investigating her," Kenneth said in a deep voice. "You also said that Miss Tang wasn’t under the influence of ’Great Dream of Three Lives,’ yet she exhibited signs of it. This suggests two possibilities: either someone told her about the manifestations of Great Dream of Three Lives; or she knew about them herself."

Lawrence’s frown gradually eased, "Right! I thought about that! But since she’s so insane and even killed someone, that clue was cut off."

"...It’s not severed. If she knew the manifestations of ’Great Dream of Three Lives’ herself, it means she is also someone from the Celestial Path Sect and quite sophisticated at that. If this is the case, her so-called ’insanity’ could be fake." Kenneth calmly analyzed, like a cold, emotionless AI machine.

"If it’s not that she knew, but that someone told her, who do you think was most likely to tell her?"

Lawrence suddenly raised her eyes, "...Mrs. Fang!"

"When Mr. Zhuge was performing the ritual, Mrs. Fang was right next to him! I remember during the live broadcast, Mrs. Fang inquired about the specific manifestations of ’Great Dream of Three Lives’ from him!"

Kenneth nodded in agreement, "I remember that scene too."

The two exchanged a glance and quickly looked away.

Lawrence lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and asked, "...Don’t you look down on our ’crooked ways’?"

Kenneth, still straightforward, replied, "...That’s not contradictory, which is why I’m here to provide you with logical reasoning."

Lawrence: "..."

Just give up, there’s no saving this man.
