Chapter 934 - 455: Celestial Path Sect Competition, Not a Beauty Pageant (Second Update)

Chapter 934: Chapter 455: Celestial Path Sect Competition, Not a Beauty Pageant (Second Update)

Lawrence Winters hurriedly left the headquarters of the Stetford Family’s company and took Kenneth Osborne’s car back to the Half Moon Hotel to change clothes.

Kenneth Osborne was feeling quite excited, and said to her, "Nora, it’s not that I didn’t tell you about this, it’s that I signed a confidentiality agreement."

Lawrence Winters: "...Oh."

Kenneth Osborne continued, "We really have to thank Ms. Spencer for this contract. If it wasn’t for her, it wouldn’t have been signed so smoothly."

Lawrence Winters: "...Mm."

Someone was crossing the street ahead, so Kenneth Osborne hit the brake, and after the person passed, he said again, "We had a previous collaboration agreement. She’s interested in investing in our special effects production company. What do you think?"

Lawrence Winters: "...Ha."

She didn’t talk much along the way, but she wasn’t completely ignoring Kenneth Osborne either, just responding rather perfunctorily.

When they arrived at the Half Moon Hotel, Kenneth Osborne finally noticed her aloofness. As he parked, he looked at her, "...Nora, are you unhappy because of Ms. Spencer? Business is business..."

Lawrence Winters didn’t want to listen anymore, but she knew she and Kenneth Osborne were divorced, and no matter how angry she was at Spring Spencer or Caitlin Gilbert, she had no stance or reason to be angry.

But she just didn’t want to hear about these matters.

She raised her hand to stop Kenneth Osborne and said coolly, "I’m not unhappy. I’m busy preparing for the competition, that’s all. I didn’t catch what you were saying. All right, you can go back now. I’ll call an Uber to the airport later."

Saying this, she quickly got out of the car and went upstairs.

As she went upstairs, she opened the Uber app, scheduled a ride, and then returned to her room.

She took off the beautiful silk blouse she was wearing and put on a loose white hoodie.

She switched her pants for some versatile sports capris, and her shoes for cushioned Under Armour women’s sneakers.

She packed a more stylish backpack, putting her phone, wallet, and some sect supplies inside, like talismans, a Peach Wood Sword, and a black soft whip with gold threads.

This was a gift from her grandmaster. It’s said to be made from ’dragon tendon’, making it highly durable and supposedly fireproof, waterproof, and insulating.

Lawrence Winters didn’t believe in the existence of ’dragon tendon’.

As the name suggests, ’dragon tendon’ is a tendon from an animal called a ’dragon’.

But she knew that ’dragons’ don’t exist; it’s not that they’re extinct, but that they are mythical beasts that only exist in imagination and literature.

At the time, she didn’t take it seriously, thinking that her grandmaster had simply named some kind of special fireproof, waterproof, and insulating material ’dragon tendon’.

Furthermore, when the whip is soft, it can be amazingly compact, able to be rolled into a small bundle and placed in the backpack without taking up much space.

Yet with a little force, it could leave its supple form and become rigid and straight.

She had just finished tidying up when the Uber arrived, stopping at the entrance of the Half Moon Hotel and giving her a call.

Lawrence Winters hurried downstairs to the entrance.

Until she got into the Uber heading to the airport, did Kenneth Osborne realize that Lawrence Winters was really angry.

She didn’t even want to see him anymore.

Why was she so angry?

Perhaps because he mentioned Spring Spencer just now?

Kenneth Osborne felt extremely complicated inside.

Lawrence Winters could still get angry at him, could still be jealous, showing that she still had feelings for him, and that they weren’t beyond saving.

Reflecting on himself, had he truly done wrong?

He asked himself honestly, he felt no romantic feelings towards Spring Spencer, and he didn’t see any signs of her having such feelings for him either.

That woman was just a businesswoman power player, with a keen business mind and agile negotiation skills.

Unlike Ruby Sheldon and Caitlin Gilbert, who overtly showed intentions towards him.

If Lawrence Winters really wanted to be angry, to be angry at Ruby Sheldon and Caitlin Gilbert, Kenneth Osborne could understand.

But towards Spring Spencer... Kenneth Osborne still couldn’t understand.

However, knowing this time that Lawrence Winters genuinely disliked her, Kenneth Osborne could only avoid suspicion.

He sat in the car for a while before getting out and returning to his hotel room, opening the Celestial Path Sect competition app, and projecting it onto the large screen TV.

Intending to work while watching the competition.

At this time, the Stetford Family had hired a powerful advertising company, already building momentum for the Celestial Path Sect World Cup held every four years.

They hadn’t prepared any earlier, but had launched numerous ads densely an hour before the competition.

The target audience, of course, included overseas Chinese, as well as domestic social media platforms.
