Chapter 988: Chapter 471: Don’t Overinterpret (Second Update, 900+ Monthly Tickets)

She looked hopefully at Mr. and Mrs. Blythe, hoping they could clarify her confusion.

But the Blythes exchanged smiles, and Mrs. Blythe stepped forward, holding Lawrence Winters’ hand, spreading out his palm, and placing something in it, saying, "It was this that helped us find you."

Then she took a step back and bowed along with Mr. Blythe to Lawrence Winters.

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Master Winters, for fulfilling our commission perfectly. — We shall meet again no more."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

Is this a polite way of saying goodbye?

The host, who had been listening for a while, quickly smiled to ease the situation and said, "Alright, alright, our first round of the tournament has ended, the judges over there have scored. Let’s congratulate the Peony Team for passing the first round and entering the second round!"

Warm applause erupted from the audience.

Soon after, sirens sounded outside; it was the Blythes who had called the police.

A few officers got out of the patrol car, understood the situation, checked William, and found he was already dead.

Mr. Blythe explained the situation, adding, "We have video footage that can prove what happened at the time."

The police watched the video and provisionally determined William’s death as a sudden death caused by an acute illness, pending further autopsy for a legal conclusion.

They lifted William onto the ambulance and quickly left.

Lawrence Winters and the others also needed to leave this mansion.

Before leaving, she curiously asked Mrs. Blythe, "How did William come to use Black Magic?"

Mrs. Blythe said indifferently, "His mother was a Gypsy, skilled in witchcraft."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

So William was a mixed-race, yet he showed no Gypsy traits and was a completely East Asian-looking man.

Mrs. Blythe nodded to Lawrence Winters, turned, and grasped Alice Blythe’s hand, carefully saying, "Alice, the person Mom and Dad love most is you. In the past, we were muddled, thinking our business was too challenging and didn’t want you involved, that was our mistake. From now on, study hard, and after graduating from college, take over Mom and Dad’s company, allowing us to retire early and enjoy life."

Alice Blythe was extremely excited, "Mom, do you really think I can do it? I’m just a girl..."

Mr. Blythe, feeling deeply ashamed, murmured, "Alice, it’s Dad’s fault; Dad shouldn’t have favored sons over daughters. No matter how good others’ children are, they aren’t ours. Your mom and I only have you as our daughter, no matter who you are, we love you most."

Alice Blythe had never heard such words from her parents before.

At this moment, she felt filled with courage, capable of facing any challenges.

The host walked over, emotionally delivering a motivational summary.

"To all sect members, all audience members, our eighteenth Celestial Path Sect World Cup Grandmaster Tournament’s first round has successfully ended."

"Let’s congratulate the Peony Team for advancing to the second round!"

"The theme of the first round, according to our commissioners, is love and protection."

"Life’s journey is long, but as long as there’s the companionship of family love, one can fearless march forward."

"Miss Blythe, congratulations on your rebirth, and may you cherish your hard-won life and live happily alongside your parents."

Alice Blythe nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her smiling face.

"I know, thank you for helping me and my parents. Rest assured, I won’t do anything rash."

"Although I was once disappointed in myself for not being a boy, today, seeing Great Heavenly Master Winters, I realize women can be just as strong, achieving what men can’t in areas they excel in, there’s really no need for me to belittle myself."

Seeing the transformed Alice Blythe, Lawrence Winters felt gratified.

Sometimes, a person’s epiphany happens in an instant.

It depends on whether you’re lucky enough to meet that person who can trigger your insight.

Helping Alice Blythe didn’t just save her life, but more importantly, it strengthened her spirit.

Such assistance is more significant than simply saving her once.

Because teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish.

Lawrence Winters patted her on the shoulder, "Live well, everyone has it tough, also be understanding of your parents."

"I will." Alice Blythe nodded emphatically.

Lawrence Winters glanced at her face, noticing that the "short-life line" from yesterday had disappeared.

This indicated she had overcome this hurdle in her life.

"Having survived a great calamity, blessings will follow. Miss Blythe, you will have a bright and beautiful life."

Lawrence Winters also courteously joined in sharing encouraging words.

Unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Blythe were overjoyed and quickly told Alice, "Quickly thank Great Heavenly Master Winters! Great Heavenly Master Winters speaks with certainty; whatever he says you will have, you will have!"

Lawrence Winters: "!!!"

Whoa! Don’t overinterpret my polite remarks!

I’ve been boasting since childhood that I’d become a billionaire!

Yet so far, it hasn’t happened, what could she have possibly meant?!

Moreover, Lawrence Winters felt the term "speaks with certainty" instantly lowered her prestige.

She was clearly the Holy Light Girl...
