Chapter 370

The man still wanted to say something, but Winnie stood up directly and pulled Oscar to sit in the middle. Separated by a wide gap, they were like a world apart.

Lawrence instantly tensed up, feeling like he was on high alert, as if he were guarding against a potential threat. Lawrence couldn't understand children's movies, but seeing his son and the woman watching attentively, he felt speechless. He couldn't believe that she actually enjoyed this kind of movie.

His gaze couldn't help but shift as the dim light illuminated her face. Her skin was remarkably smooth, without any visible pores, and her features were soft and delicate. He found himself captivated by her eyes, and as she pouted alongside her son, she looked both childish and cute at the same time.

Lawrence didn't notice the faint smile that tugged at the corners of his lips when suddenly, a clear sound of a heartbeat struck him. He snapped back to his senses, wondering if he was once again falling for this woman. His smile felt a bit forced, so he quickly retracted his gaze and casually reached for the cola next to him, feeling a bit flustered.

Just as he took a sip, Winnie immediately glared at him with disdain. "You drank my cola. Didn't you buy yours?"

Lawrence looked at the straw in his hand, indeed stained with her vibrant lipstick. He felt an inexplicable impulse and, once again, brought the woman's lipstick-stained straw to his lips as he took another sip.

Winnie watched helplessly as he unconsciously did so. Blushing with shyness, she said, "That's my cola!" Angrily, she repeated herself. It seemed he was doing it on purpose.

Lawrence slightly leaned back to create some distance between his son. His deep voice sounded a bit mischievous as he tried to tease her, "It's just a glass of cola. Besides, I've had your saliva and lipstick before."

Winnie's face completely flushed. With Oscar sitting in the middle and knowing how clever her son was, she quickly covered Oscar's ear, looking annoyed as she warned, "What nonsense are you saying in front of Sidney?"

Lawrence gave a glance at his son, feeling reassured. "Sidney is too silly, he doesn't understand these things."

Oscar was speechless. This jerk was talking bad about Sidney behind his back, possibly taking advantage of Sidney's absence.

"Daddy, I can hear you." Oscar rolled his eyes silently. "And also, you guys are too noisy. I can't hear the movie's plot. Can you adults please follow the cinema rules?" Oscar continued.

His statement also indirectly scolded Winnie. The woman looked at her son with a helpless expression. Then she angrily glared at Lawrence.

The man ran his fingers along his straight nose bridge and silently sat back down.

For the rest of the movie, there was no more noise, and Oscar watched it with great concentration.

After the movie ended, Winnie took her son to the restroom. Oscar felt a bit regretful and said, "It's a pity that Sidney didn't come tonight to watch it with Mommy."

"It's okay." Winnie ruffled her son's hair. "Next time, the three of us will secretly come."

Oscar hesitated a bit and said, "Mommy, Sidney told me that Dad had let the bad woman go, but the wedding got canceled. It seems they don't plan on having it again, and the bad woman was chased away by the Dad."

Winnie was taken aback and didn't say anything, but her lips curled with disdain.

When the woman came out with her son, Lawrence was waiting in the corridor, standing tall like a loyal hunting dog. The gentleman handed her a wet wipe and asked with a faint smile, "Are you hungry? Where do you want to eat? I can have Bryan make a reservation at a restaurant."

His swift movement caused something else to inadvertently slip out of his suit pocket, landing on the ground with a resounding noise.

Winnie looked down and recognized it immediately. It was the voice recorder she had delivered to his company. She had gone through so much trouble to expose Darcy at the wedding, anonymously reporting her and getting her arrested. With that recording, she wanted to show Lawrence how bad Darcy was. Seeing the voice recorder which had fallen in front of her, it was apparent that he didn't give the recording to the police at all which only meant that he managed to get Darcy out.

Lawrence also noticed the voice recorder that had just fallen out of his pocket. His eyes narrowed, and he had a subconscious sense of foreboding. In the next second, Winnie picked up the voice recorder before him.

In a sarcastic voice, the woman questioned, "It seemed that you didn't have the heart to hand over the evidence of Darcy's chip theft to the police?"

Lawrence paused, furrowing his brows, and said, "Winnie..."

Before he could say anything else, Winnie interjected, "I kindly gave you the evidence to let you see through your beloved wife. She and Mars had stolen the chip. It seems you don't care."

"That's not it, and don't call her my beloved wife. The wedding has been canceled, and we won't have it again."

"Then why did you let her out?" Winnie clenched her lips, coldly asking.

Lawrence sighed, looking at her, and said, "Darcy collapsed and spat blood at the police station. The case of Sidney's kidnapping was eventually determined to have been ordered by a high-ranking member of the West Iron Group, with no direct evidence connecting her to it."

"She hated Sidney and wanted him to disappear. Don't you have any suspicions in your heart?" Winnie grew annoyed.

A dark shade passed over Lawrence's face, his brows turning cold. In the end, he could only reply calmly, "She claimed that Mars coerced her into participating in the kidnapping. Regardless of whether it's true or not, Winnie, she saved my life; not once but twice from a functioning neurological disorder. I can't turn a blind eye and be inconsiderate of her health."

The voice recorder lightly hit his body. Lawrence stepped forward, trying to grab her slender wrist, but Winnie coldly taunted him, "I don't have the right to demand that you do anything heartless toward your beloved Darcy. Since you have to take care of Darcy, you should leave quickly. Why are you still standing in front of me? You're just being annoying at this point." She carried Oscar and walked away.

The man's brows furrowed deeply, his steps turning cold. "Can't we not mention her?"

"No, jerk." Winnie felt a heavy and stifling feeling in her chest, feeling suffocated.

She cursed inwardly, 'Darcy, that fool, never actually donated a kidney to Madam Rodriguez. Three years ago, she didn't even save him from his neurological disorder. It's clear that Darcy is tearing my relationship apart with him, and now he's parading their 'favor.' What a fool he is. I hope Madam Rodriguez wakes up soon.'

Winnie clenched her fist tightly.

Lawrence, who was trying to catch up with Winnie and Sidney when his phone suddenly rang. He swiftly answered his phone when he saw that it was Bob calling him. He had to stop to take the call.

Helplessly furrowing his brow, Bob said, "Lawrence, come to my hotel. I have something to discuss with you before I head back to Trento City. It's something important."

Lawrence couldn't ignore his gut feeling and knew he had to go. He had to leave the cinema first.

In the executive suite of the five-star hotel, Bob sat in his chair with authority as his subordinates opened the door.

As Lawrence walked in, his imposing demeanor and underlying ruthlessness were evident, yet traces of his youth still lingered.

Bob stood up, pleased. "Lawrence, you fought this battle beautifully! The police cleared you, and Island Electronics made a rapid turnaround. You have truly shown your capabilities to the directors of the conglomerate."

Lawrence remained silent as he took a seat.

Bob looked up and emphasized directly, "You are my biological son, Lawrence, and I am not actually your uncle. I am your biological father! You already suspected this, didn't you?"

Lawrence paused at his words, even though he had suspected it for a long time. However, hearing it with his own ears still shook him.

He raised his icy gaze, looking at Bob with a complex expression.
