Mr. Baldwin , I heard the Jayrodale Grand Hotel has arranged a Reckoning Toast just for you .
You act all high and mighty in front of me I just hope you wont be too scared to even show up .
Or worse , wet your pants when you get there ! Kingsleys expression remained calm .
Just a small fry not worth my time .
Tiana let out a cold laugh .
Raymond may be a small fry , but Winston from the Wright family ? Now , thats a shark that kills .
Kingsley chuckled .
And what difference does that make in the eyes of a soaring predator ? Whether its a shark or a small fry , theyre both nothing more than insects to me .
Tiana scoffed .
Arrogance leads to disaster , Mr. Baldwin .
Youd better hurry and beg Marvin to spend some money and clean up your mess ! With that , she turned and walked away .
The Reckoning Toast that Raymond had set up at Jayrodale Grand Hotel was already the talk of high society .
Tiana had known about it for a while now , and she was also well aware that Raymond had Winston from the Wright family backing him up .
Winston had the worst reputation in Blumedale an infamous second generation heir and a complete disgrace to his family .
Nonetheless , at the end of the day , his parents and his familys power made up for all of that .
Even Tiana had to treat Winston with courtesy , simply because the Wright familys influence was far too great to ignore .
Yet , Kingsley did not seem to care .
The Reckoning Toast had been going on for two days now , and he remained completely unfazed .
Tiana could already picture the scene when Kingsley finally came face to face with Winston , he would be beate so badly that he would not even recognize himself in the mirror .
Not that she planned to intervene .
After all , Kingsley had dug his own grave he could lie in it himself .
If anything , she was actually hoping Winston would take him down a notch .
Only by crushing Kingsley could she finally get Lauren to come to her senses .
Compared to Joe , Kingsley was nothing more than a passing storm .
In front of real elite heirs , he was nobody .
Meanwhile , Kingsley returned to Laurens office , where Marcus was anxiously pacing .
Mr. Baldwin , tomorrows the last day of the Reckoning Toast Marcus reminded him .
Traditionally , you’re supposed to show up and apologize on the first day to prove your sincerity .
He added , If you wait until the third day , itll be seen as disrespectful people will think you don’t take the apology seriously , and itll stir up even more trouble ! Kingsley smiled .
So what if it does ? I’m not going there to apologize anyway .
Marcus was stunned .
You’re not going to apologize ? Then what exactly are you going for ? Kingsleys eyes turned ice cold .
Isnt it obvious ? I’m going to make Raymond apologize to me ! Marcus was utterly speechless , thinking , Mr. Baldwin , are you sure you want to play this game ?
Lauren said , Dr. Baldwin , I’m going with you to the Jayrodale Grand Hotel tomorrow ! Kingsley waved his hand dismissively , No need .
Were at a critical stage with our pharmaceutical product launch right now .
You and Mr. Chapman are already swamped , so just stay focused on the product ! Lauren frowned with concern .
But I don’t feel comfortable letting you go alone! Kingsley replied calmly , Relax .
Im going there to reason with Raymond .
Weve got the facts on our side , so theres nothing to fear , no matter how many people he brings .
Lauren could not hold back her anxiety .
Raymonds got Winston backing him up , and they have no intention of playing fair .
Theyre just trying to strong arm us , Dr. Baldwin You know that better than anyone ! Kingsleys eyes darkened , but his tone remained steady .
In this world , everything should be resolved through reason .
But if brute force is the solution , then I prefer it that way .
That was his principle : if no one messed with Kingsley , he would not mess with them .
However , if some entitled rich kid thought he could show up and start throwing his weight around , Kingsley could not care what his background was he would stomp him into the ground just the same .
After work , Kingsley drove straight to Moonlit Sanctuary , planning to get some rest .
Just then , his phone rang Stephens anxious voice came through the line .
Mr. Baldwin , youve been quiet for the past two days , but Raymond is absolutely furious ! Kingsley remained indifferent .
Let him rage .
What does that have to do with me ? Stephen let out a bitter chuckle .
Raymonds going all out to put on a show .
Not only did he invite Winston , but a bunch of Jayrodales most influential people were also attending .
You ignoring him for two days has humiliated him in front of everyone .
If you show up tomorrow , hes definitely going to get physical .
Maybe you should just skip the meeting altogether .
Kingsley sneered .
Are you suggesting I back down like a coward ? Stephen quickly corrected himself .
Of course not ! I just think the Reckoning Toast is probably ruined anyway , so theres no point in confronting Raymond head on .
Once he cools off , I can step in and try to negotiate .
Maybe we can smooth things over- Kingsley cut him off .
Theres nothing to smooth over .
He went out of his way to make this a big deal .
Honestly , it saves me the trouble of doing it myself .
With everyone watching , I’ll show up tomorrow and accept an apology from the Chapmans .
With that , Kingsley hung up .
Sleep was far more important to him , and everything else was just noise .
At Glorious Pharmaceuticals , Stephen held his phone with a deep sigh .
He had just pledged loyalty to Kingsley , and now trouble had come knocking .
If Kingsley got crushed by Raymond and Winston , then he had bet on the wrong side .
Should I pull out now and cut ties with Kingsley and Rhodes Corporation ? He muttered to himself , torn between choices .
Finally , his expression hardened .
Screw it .
They say loyalty is tested in tough times .
Maybe Mr. Baldwin really has a hidden ace up his sleeve to deal with the Chapmans and Winston .
If thats the case , my loyalty now will earn me his trust in the long run .
Stephen had been playing the game long enough to know how to survive .
Right now , everyone in Jayrodale thought Kingsley was doomed .
By all logic , he should quietly back away from this mess .
Nonetheless , fortune favored the bold , and high risk meant high reward .
Stephen had made it this far by taking risks ; this time , he was going all in .
In the worst case scenario , he would end up broke and begging on the streets .
However , if he won , he would be living the high life , with money and power at his fingertips .
A notification beep interrupted Kingsleys sleep , and he grumbled , Who the hell is texting me at this hour ? Squinting , he unlocked his phone it was Francesca .
[ Kingsley , I can’t sleep .
] Kingsley immediately knew what this meant .
That big breasted little tease was trying to seduce him again in the middle of the night .
At times like this , the smartest move was not to respond so Kingsley put down his phone and went back to sleep .
Yet , Francesca kept bombarding him with messages .
[ Kingsley , I know you’re not asleep .
