Still, despite his incompetence, being male meant he had the best chance of inheriting Rhodes Corporation
Jerry, werent you supposed to guard the trucks in the cave? Why are you here? Michael asked, completely missing Jerrys look of displeasure.
Whats there to be guarded? They beat us to it! Jerry snapped in frustration.
Michaels heart sank
What do you mean? Did someone take the herbs? Forget about those truckloads of herbs, Jerry replied
By the time I got there, Lauren had already found them and had them moved.
What? She found them first? Thats impossible! Michael exploded in rage
How could she possibly find them? I hid them so carefully! Bane chimed in coldly, I checked that location myself.
Her people shouldnt have been abl find it
Did someone on your end mess up? My men were with me the whole time there were no leaks, Jerry growled.
It wasnt Laurens people who found it anyway.
It was that pretty boy Kingsley.
Michael gasped and turned to Ban but you wouldnt believe me! See? Its him again! I told you it was that damn bastard, A murderous glint appeared in Banes eyes.
Hes becoming a real problem.
It looks like well have to get rid of him for good.
And he seems to suspect me already, Jerry added.
Mr. Rhodes, its best if you don’t contact me for a while
I’ll help with your fight against Lauren, but if we go too far and Mr. Rhodes.
Senior starts asking questions, I’ll be in trouble too.
Jerry, I need one more favor from you, Michael snarled.
Kill that meddling bastard who keeps ruining my plans.
22
Jerry immediately refused, I’m sorry, but I wont do something that risky.
Kingsley is obviously very close to Ms. Rhodes
If I harm him shell never forgive me.
I work for the Rhodes family to secure my future, not to be your hitman.
Then, Jerry disappeared into the woods, ignoring Michaels furious expression.
Bane, since Jerry is too scared, why don’t you take care of that guy yourself? Eliminate him before he causes more problems! Michael suggested.
Banes face darkened with uncertainty as he replied, We can’t rush this… One wrong move, and we lose everything
We now know Tracia was killed by at least a junior grandmaster level fighter, and that person might be backing Kingsley.
If thats the case, moving against him carelessly would only bring us trouble.
Michael was frustrated by how his sure victory had turned into a complete defeat, and he shouted, Bane , are you afraid of that worthless pretty boy too? Bane scoffed
don’t be ridiculous! Ive dominated Gabo Creeks martial arts world for decades I fear no one, especially not in a small town like Jayrodale
Lets wait until we get back to town before making our next move.
Michael desperately wanted to confront Kingsley immediately, but he lacked the necessary strength himself.
Hence, he had to rely on people like Bane and Jerry, who were too wise to take unnecessary risks without absolute certainty.
Back in Jayrodale, Lauren had dragged Kingsley to Oakridge Club.
Kingsley protested helplessly, Ms. Rhodes, you don’t really have to do this to thank me.
Lauren ignored his protests, keeping her arm linked with his while pressing close, seemingly unconcerned about their physical contact.
Dr. Baldwin, don’t be shy.
I have to thank you properly youve helped me so much.
e, why Seeing there was no escape, Kingsley gave up and asked, Even if you want to thank me, bring me here ? This place is Weller family territory, isnt it? Lauren smiled, her ponytail swaying, Dr. Baldwin, I’m about to buy over Oakridge Club.
As my thank you gift, youll be its new owner.
For me? Would the Weller family be alright with it? Kingsley asked, surprised
He knew the Oakridge Club was a famous and profitable high end establishment in Jayrodale, owned by Harvey.
The Weller family is drowning in debt, Lauren explained.
Theyre having to sell assets just to stay afloat
With the Rhodes family doing so well, its the perfect time to make a move and get a good deal.
.
Kingsley understood immediately Harveys falle investments had become the final straw for the Weller familys financial struggles.
The once nighty family had been reduced to selling off their properties.
Inside the Oakridge Club, the former grandeur had faded to dim lighting
Francesca and Laurens assistant, Eunice, were waiting for them Are the Weller family representatives here ? Lauren asked Eunice, Eunice looked uncomfortable and replied, Yes, but Miss, its not just their representative who came… Lauren was unbothered.
Who else? That good for nothing Harvey? Francesca cut in, Lauren, you should be careful.
Not only is Harvey here, but Mr. Weller Senior, the head of the Weller family, has also come .
Lauren was shocked and exclaimed, Even Mr. Weller Senior is here? Well then, lets see what theyre really up to
Upon entering the main hall, Kingsley noticed not only the Weller family members but also Hannah. When she caught Kingsleys glance, Hannah remained expressionless and turned.
away.
Harvey smirked, looking down at Kingsley with contempt.
Lauren greeted Kane respectfully, acknowledging his status as one of Jayrodales most influential family patriarchs
His local influence sometimes exceeded even the mayors, particularly in matters concerning traditional martial arts circles.
Lauren, its been years since Ive seen you ! Kane chuckled before breaking into a cough, quickly covering his mouth with a white handkerchief.
Though Kane tried to be discreet, Kingsleys keen eye caught sight of blood on the cloth, and noting Kanes pale complexion and dim eyes, he could tell the man was gravely ill.
Mr. Weller Senior, if you’re unwell, we can discuss this another time, Lauren offered considerately, hesitant to bring up the club purchase given his condition.
Kane waved off her concern: Its just an old condition.
Lets get down to business.
Everyone took their seats, and Kanes gaze lingered on Kingsley.
Even though it only lasted seconds, Kingsley could not ignore the coldness and hostility in the mans eyes. The Weller family has fallen on hard times, and with my illness, I have no choice but to sell the Oakridge Club for operating capital, Kane explained slowly.
Lauren nodded sympathetically.
I understand your predicament, Mr. Weller Senior.
Running a prestigious family business requires substantial daily expenses.
Please be assured that the Rhodes family will help however we can.
You’re much more generous than your penny pinching father.
I like that, Kane said, laughing.
You know, you and Harvey would have made a perfect match.
Its quite a shame that fate had other plans.
You’re too kind, Mr. Weller Senior, Lauren replied.
Harvey is far too accomplished for me.
Besides, my heart now belongs to someone else
Kane glanced at Kingsley, And I assume that would be Mr. Baldwin here? Yes, Dr. Baldwin is indeed the one Ive chosen, Lauren confirmed without hesitation, causing Kingsley to feel slightly embarrassed.
Behind Kane, Hannah shot Kingsley a cold, unreadable look, Kane forced a smile
Mr. Baldwin is undoubtedly aline young man, and its no surprise hes captured your attention.
But I heard the Rhodes family has a strict tradition of arranging marriages within prestigious familles. Frankly, Mr. Baldwins background is … ordinary, to put it kindly.
He lacks the kind of standing that would make such a union viable.
From the perspective of a family head, I’d suggest you reconsider.
It may be best for you both to part ways now and spare yourselves from unrealistic expectations.
Lauren maintained her composure and replied, My relationship with Dr. Baldwin isnt your concern, Mr. Weller Senior
Perhaps we should focus on business matters now.
Kanes brows furrowed at her bluntness.
As the head of a prestigious family, he was not accustomed to being dismissed, especially by a junior.
