Chapter 809: Chapter 411: Is the End of the Road Black or White (First Update)

Lawrence Winters pursed his lips and awkwardly asked, "So where have you been having dinner lately? Are you busy too? By the way, how’s your lawsuit going? I remember a company abroad was suing you..."

"You still remember I have a lawsuit? Do you know they’re claiming ten billion, and even if I sold all my assets, I wouldn’t be able to pay that much!"

Lawrence Winters was stunned, "But that lawsuit is them blackmailing you! You still take it seriously?! They’re falsely accusing you! Why should I worry?"

"Ha, false accusation? You say it’s false, so it is? Where’s the evidence? The court deals with evidence, and if they have evidence, I have to prove their evidence isn’t real!" Kenneth Osborne got agitated.

Lawrence Winters nonchalantly waved his hand, "I say it’s a false accusation, so it’s a false accusation. Do you have some misunderstanding about our Celestial Master Sect’s Great Heavenly Master? Need evidence? I’ll just make a few straw men for them..."

"Enough!" Kenneth Osborne’s face turned ashen, and he abruptly stood up, saying word by word, "Lawrence Winters, I’ll ask you one last time, did you resign truly for your family’s Great Heavenly Master office?"

"Look into my eyes and tell me, are you sure you want to go back and do such deceitful things?"

"We Celestial Masters are not deceitful!" Lawrence Winters wasn’t angry initially, still a bit guilty, but Kenneth Osborne’s words were too much.

She hated most when people said their Celestial Master Sect was "deceitful"!

Growing up under Nick Zeller watching geomancy and face reading, despite receiving a scientific education, Lawrence Winters still believed that being a Celestial Master was a legitimate profession.

Kenneth Osborne folded his arms and sneered, "Not deceitful? Look at the stuff your Taobao store sells, like Ghost Catching Talismans, Peach Wood Swords, and Childbirth Water. Do you really believe these aren’t deceitful, misleading items?"

Lawrence Winters: "..."

The stuff sold in the Taobao store was, of course, a mix of real and fake; no one would take a ten-yuan Ghost Catching Talisman seriously.

They as Celestial Masters also needed to make a living!

But their real money-making business was geomancy and face reading!

That’s genuine, valuable content, okay!

Though Lawrence Winters was at a disadvantage, she wasn’t at a loss for words.

She mimicked Kenneth Osborne’s manner, sneering and saying, "That’s not our office’s main business! How can it represent our entire industry?! — Even legitimate companies engage in false advertising. Why is it that it’s deceitful when it comes to us?"

"You just have a prejudice against our industry!"

"Yes, I do have a prejudice," Kenneth Osborne simply admitted, "I’ve said it before, when you were younger and followed your dad around for geomancy, it was okay, just as social practice."

"And I understand how hard it was for Uncle Zhang back then, to raise you, he put in a lot of effort. Earning money through geomancy is a mutual consent deal."

"But now you’re an adult, a graduate from a prestigious university. You had a good job, but you said you wanted to quit and go back home to continue those deceitful things. How can I feel assured?"

Kenneth Osborne, with the greatest patience, tried to persuade Lawrence Winters.

Lawrence Winters sneered, "Don’t you really dislike Manager Foster? Now I’ve quit his company, you should be happy. Why are you calling it ’a good job’?"

"That’s a different matter. Don’t change the subject," Kenneth Osborne glared at her, "I’m talking about the nature of the job, not Edward Foster’s company’s job!"

"It’s the same, don’t compare unrelated things." Lawrence Winters wasn’t buying it, "You don’t like my family’s office, and you don’t want me working for Manager Foster. What do you want me to do? Stay home all day surfing the internet, cooking for you three meals a day, and waiting for you to come back?"

Kenneth Osborne hesitated, thinking if that were true, he’d have a lot less to worry about...

Lawrence Winters had too much of a knack for "causing trouble," Kenneth Osborne actually wanted to keep her within his sight.

He put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps in the room, and said indifferently, "...If you’d like, you could come work for my company. But my company isn’t that kind of entertainment company, we don’t need a PR spokesperson."

"Sorry, I don’t want to work at your company. Even if you had a PR department, I wouldn’t go," Lawrence Winters sneered, "I have my own family business, I want to work for myself!"

The more Kenneth Osborne looked down on her, the more she wanted to achieve success to change his opinion!

Once she deals with the Grant Branch...

No, she couldn’t say yet, couldn’t say anything.

Kenneth Osborne’s face grew colder and colder, "So you’re not agreeing? Are you going to go down this path till the end?"
