Kingsley and Lauren wasted no time. After handling everything at Glorious Pharmaceuticals, they rushed back to Rhodes Corporation.
On the drive back, Lauren could not hold back her curiosity. She asked hesitantly, “Dr. Baldwin, I know I shouldn’t pry, but I still want to ask… Was it Mr. Yates who helped with the machine?”
Kingsley nodded. “You could say that. I already realized that Stephen’s factory, even though it’s the best in Jayrodale, isn’t all that impressive. To put it bluntly, they couldn’t even get a single advanced piece of equipment. So, I gave Marvin a heads-up in advance and had him figure something out.”
Lauren fell silent for a moment before whispering, “If Mr. Yates helped you like this, there must be a price, right? For example, maybe he wants to use you to take control of Glorious Pharmaceuticals. And from there, he could monopolize Jayrodale’s entire pharmaceutical industry. It’s not impossible.”
Kingsley glanced at her, surprised. “Lauren, how did you come up with that? Marvin has no interest in pharmaceuticals-actually, he’s not even interested in making money anymore.
“Becoming Jayrodale’s wealthiest man is already exhausting him. He keeps trying to trick me into taking over, saying he’s done with it and wants to dump everything on me.
“But I’m not stupid. There’s no way I’d fall for that. Wealthroller Investments might not be a huge company, but there are still a lot of people depending on him. If he walked away, he’d be letting them down.”
Lauren mumbled, “Oh,” and said nothing more.
Still, she could not stop thinking about what Tiana had warned her about… that Kingsley was nothing more than a deadly chess piece groomed by Marvin.
Through Kingsley, Marvin would eventually take down all the major families and corporate giants of Jayrodale. Right now, it looked like Stephen-once the leading figure in the pharmaceutical industry-had already become Kingsley’s loyal supporter.
Moreover, Kingsley had also gained control over the terrifying underground forces led by Dylan and Natasha.
Lauren believed in Kingsley with all her heart. However, she could not help but wonder if all of this was just an illusion and if everything would really play out the way Tiana predicted-that Kingsley was just a pawn meant to lure her into the game.
Would all her hopes and dreams eventually shatter?
“Lauren, what are you thinking about?”
Kingsley’s voice pulled her back. She had been staring out the window, lost in thought.
Lauren smiled and shook her head. “Nothing much. I was just thinking… Dr. Baldwin, you’ve grown so much and become so much stronger. When first met you at Jayrodale General Hospital, you were just this quiet figure in a white coat, standing apart from the crowd, like you didn’t belong.
“But now, everything has changed. I’m no longer the CEO of Rhodes Corporation, and next to you, I feel like I don’t quite measure up anymore.”
Kingsley pulled the car to a stop and turned to look at her. His expression was serious. “I haven’t changed, not really. You just haven’t fully gotten to know me yet. But one thing will never change-whether you’re the CEO of the Rhodes Group, a rich heiress, or just yourself, I’t always like you.”
Lauren took a deep breath and smiled. “We’re here. Let’s go up. And… thank you for helping me, Dr. Baldwin.”
At that moment, she made up her mind. Even if Kingsley really was just Marvin’s carefully placed chess piece, it did not matter anymore.
Even if she was falling straight into a trap, she was willing to do so. She could not control herself-she had already fallen too deep for this man.
Kingsley did not notice her change in mood. The two of them took the elevator up to the executive office floor. As soon as they stepped inside, they saw Marcus had already arrived with his people.
However, at that moment, Marcus’ face was dark with anger. Next to him,
Lauren’s assistant, Eunice, had a bright red handprint across her cheek as she sniffled quietly, trying to hold back her tears.
Laurens voice was sharp with anger.
Who hit you? Eunice, tell me who did this to you? Tears welled up in Eunices eyes as she shook her head.
Miss, I’m fine.
You don’t have to worry about me.
Laurens fury only grew.
Im asking you who did this? Tell me, and I promise I’ll make sure they pay for it! Eunice sobbed.
Miss, please don’t ask anymore.
I don’t want to cause you trouble.
Just as Lauren was about to explode, Kingsley gently pulled her back and reassured her.
don’t get upset.
Trust me -I’ll make sure Ms. Brooks gets justice.
Then, he turned to Marcus.
Mr. Chapman, explain what happened here ? Marcus let out a sigh before responding.
Ms. Brooks went to the Pharmaceutical Division to get the approval documents, just as you instructed.
Michaels lackeys not only refused to process it, but they also ran their mouths and insulted you, Mr. Baldwin.
Ms. Brooks couldnt stand it and argued back, but in the end… Kingsleys expression darkened into a cold smirk.
So, in the end, Michaels goons decided to hit her, huh? Marcus sighed again.
Mr. Baldwin, I think we should hold off for now before demanding an explanation for Ms. Brooks.
Michaels at his peak right now, and his people are getting more arrogant by the day.
If we confront them head on, we probably wont get the outcome we want.
Kingsley did not hesitate.
He pulled open the office door and strode toward the Pharmaceutical Division with a chilling tone.
That depends on how we go about it.
I refuse to believe that if I stomp his head into the ground, I still wont get justice. Marcus face paled.
Mr. Baldwin, don’t be reckless! Eunice hurried after him .
Mr. Baldwin, don’t do anything foolish! If you provoke Mrs. Rhodes over this, well all end up worse off! Kingsley let out a cold chuckle.
Relax.
You belong to Laurens team, which means you belong to me too.
If someone messes with my people and I don’t hit back, then I might as well just end my life here.
Laurens voice was just as firm.
Eunice, Mr. Chapman don’t try to stop him.
Dr. Baldwins stance is my stance.
If they dared to throw a punch, wed make sure to hit them back harder.
Without hesitation, the three of them followed Kingsleys lead, straight toward tical Division.
Vel
At the entrance, a manager saw Kingsleys icy expression and immediately tensed up.
His voice trembled.
Mr. Baldwin … what brings you here? Kingsley did not say a word.
He shoved the man aside and strode into the department, asking him, Who hit
?
Ms. Brooks? Step forward now I’ll give you ten seconds.
His calm but chilling voice echoed through the office.
The 20 or so employees inside immediately fell silent, all eyes turning toward him
Eunice rushed in after him, panicked.
Mr. Baldwin, please, don’t make a scene! Everyone here works under Mr. Rhodes.
If this blows up and reaches Mrs. Rhodes, I could get fired! Kingsleys voice remained indifferent.
If you get fired, I’ll make you a Regional Director at Wealthroller Investments.
Eunice fell silent, her mouth slightly open in shock.
At Rhodes Corporation, she was just a secretary.
However, if she really
WealthCame a regional director at
Investments, that
Investments, would be a five rank promotion night.
A sneering laugh rang out.
Wow, what a bold statement.
Offering to make someone a regional director at Wealthroller Investments- impressive.
A man in suspenders, his slicked back hair gleaming under the light stepped forward with an arrogant smirk.
swho
Mr. Baldwin, this is Rhodes Corporation, where you’re a board member.
But here you are, meddling in matters related to Wealthroller Investments.
Hate to break it to you, but that sounds a little too far fetched.
Kingsley stared at him, his expression blank.
So it was you.
You’re the one who hit Ms. Brooks?
The man in suspenders lifted his chin arrogantly.
Yeah, I hit her.
