Jay Brown strode over, his face ice-cold. “Mr. Baldwin, what do you want to talk about?”
Kingsley’s tone was calm yet sharp. “I want to discuss how you blatantly disobeyed the CEO’s orders and what consequences you should face for it.”
Jay’s eyes widened in shock before he snapped in fury. “Kingsley, stop acting like you have real authority! Do you think I’m scared of you?”
Kingsley did not waste time arguing his face remained cold as he delivered a brutal slap. Jay did not even have time to grunt before blood gushed out from his mouth, and he was sent flying. The moment he hit the ground, he passed out cold.
The effect was immediate-several of Michael’s lackeys, who had been acting tough just moments ago, shut their mouths tight. One by one, they lowered their heads and kept quiet, suddenly remembering how to behave.
Kingsley flexed his wrist like he had just swatted away an inconvenience. Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, “Someone, take Mr. Brown to the infirmary.”
He added casually, “Since he got injured on the job, the company will cover his medical expenses.”
‘Injured on the job? Are you kidding me?’ Michael and his lackeys were in disbelief at Kingsley’s audacity.
Lauren stood there speechless for a moment, stunned by Kingsley’s ruthlessness. Nonetheless, desperate times called for desperate measures, and she was not about to object to his methods.
Kingsley quickly refocused and addressed the room. “Let’s not forget-Mrs. Rhodes has officially handed over authority to Ms. Rhodes and me.”
Kingsley glanced at the others, his voice calm but firm. “Cooperate, and everything will run smoothly. Once the company is back on track, everyone gets paid. But if anyone wants to be a troublemaker and play games with me, just take a good look at what happened to Jay.”
No one dared to speak.
Kingsley’s approach since arriving at Rhodes Corporation had left an undeniable impression. There were only two options when dealing with him-either completely overpower him or fall in line. And if you couldn’t suppress him, the smart choice was to cooperate.
Lauren continued, “Now, the biggest issue we’re facing is the online attacks against our company. Mr. Chapman, I’m putting you in charge of handling this. Whether it takes money, influencers, or PR
campaigns, do whatever it takes to r?store our company’s public image as soon as possible.”
Marcus nodded. “Rest assured, I’ll take care of it.”
Michael’s face darkened as he snapped, “Mr. Chapman, watch your words! The acting CEO right now is Mrs. Rhodes, not anyone else.”
Marcus remained unfazed. “I don’t see anything wrong with what I said. With Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Baldwin working together, saving this
CS only a matter of time net
So, let’s be honest-if anyone deserves to take over Rhodes Corporation in the future, it’s Ms. Rhodes.”
Michael’s expression twisted in anger. “You-“
Kingsley cut him off, pointing at him. “Mr. Rhodes, you’re driving me somewhere later.”
Michael’s face turned beet red. “What did you just say? You want me to be your driver?”
Kingsley shrugged. “Is there a problem? Mrs. Rhodes gave me authority, so if I tell you to drive, then you drive.”
The moment he heard Tiana’s name, Michael could not argue anymore. He clenched his jaw and hissed, “Fine, I’ll drive. But my skills are terrible-if I drive us off a cliff, don’t blame me.”
Kingsley let out a chuckle. “As long as you go down with me, I won’t complain.”
Michael’s face darkened as he cursed Kingsley in his mind. ‘That bastard… Like hell I’d want to die with him!’
Lauren barely held back a laugh, secretly loving Kingsley’s antics. She was touched, knowing that Kingsley was going after Michael just to stand up for her. She continued methodically, addressing each urgent matter one by one.
“Last two things–do everything possible to win back the business partners we lost,” she instructed. “They only cut ties with us because they were misled by the online smear campaign. If we can convince them otherwise, we can restore those partnerships.”
Toward the end, she hesitated, her brows slightly furrowed, as if struggling with something.
Kingsley chuckled. “You’re stressing over handling the Wellers’ warehouse fire, aren’t you?”
Lauren nodded. “Dr. Baldwin, you really do get me. Most of our other problems can be dealt with through PR, advertising, and strategic business moves. But the Wellers’ warehouse fire is already a national scandal. To be honest, I have no idea how to handle it.”
Kingsley cast a glance at Michael, smirking. “I’m guessing you all don’t know this yet, but that warehouse was practically waiting to be burned down. In other words, Harvey set the whole thing up.”
Marcus looked shocked. “Mr. Baldwin, what do you mean?”
The others were equally curious, waiting for Kingsley to explain.
Kingsley said, got word that there was nothing inside that warehouse no inventory, nothing Their so-called multi-million-dollar losses were completely fabricated to fool the media and the public
“As for why? The first reason is obvious-they want to force Rhodes Corporation to compensate them.
And second, they want to contron public opinion, making us the scapegoat for all the vel
Michael’s face flickered with doubt. “You’re telling me this was all staged? Did Harvey really play me that day?”
Kingsley scoffed. “And that, my dear Michael, is why Harvey ranks number one among the four in Jayrodale, while you’re stuck at number two. You really need to do some self-reflection.”
Michael’s expression twisted with anger. He hated how Kingsley looked down on him and sneered, “Even if I got played by him, it’s no loss to me.”
He then grinned smugly at Kingsley. “Harvey might think he’s slick, sneaking around with Serena, but he has no idea-he wasn’t the only one enjoying her. Guess what? I had my fair share too. In fact, you could say I was screwing Harvey’s mom. Doesn’t that mean I got the last laugh?”
The sheer arrogance on his face was impossible to miss.
Kingsley raised an eyebrow, giving Michael a slow clap. “Mr. Rhodes, I have to hand it to you. When it comes to being a complete degenerate, you take the crown.”
The rest of the executives were torn between disgust and fury, but no one dared call Michael out as Kingsley did.
Lauren’s voice turned ice-cold. “And you think that makes you impressive? In the end, you’re no different from Harvey.”
Michael remained unfazed, even smirking as he scoffed, “You wouldn’t understand the taste of married women and lonely housewives.”
No one paid any attention to Michael and his twisted comments. Everyone was waiting for Kingsley and Lauren’s next instructions.
Kingsley said, “Lauren, I don’t think we should go head-to-head with the Wellers over the warehouse fire.”
Lauren nodded. “I was thinking the same. Right now, the public is on their side, and the internet is flooded with support for them. If we try to argue our case directly, people will just see Rhodes Corporation as the villain.”
Kingsley smirked. “Which is why we should shift the focus.”
Lauren thought for a moment before her eyes lit up. “You mean we create a new media storm-one big enough to replace the warehouse fire scandal and divert public attention?”
Kingsley gave her an approving look. “That’s my girl-always quick on the uptake.”
Excited, Lauren’s mind raced, quickly coming up with possible solutions. “Dr. Baldwin, I swear, you’re a lifesaver. The moment you pointed it out, everything just clicked. If we create a bigger national talking point, the public’s focus will shift, and our crisis will fade into the background.”
She clenched her fist with renewed determination, looking at Kingsley with gratitude. Not only was he clearing obstacles for her in the real world, but he was also opening up new ways of thinking for her.
A man like him was an absolute gem-Hannah had really let a priceless treasure slip through her fingers.
Lauren’s assistant, Eunice, hesitantly raised her hand. “But, Miss, whatever we come up with needs to be big enough, shocking enough to completely overshadow the warehouse fire. Where are we supposed to find something like that on such short notice?”
Lauren’s excitement was momentarily dampened as she frowned, deep in thought.
Kingsley chuckled. “If there’s no immediate scandal to use, then we just wait. People are already tearing us apart online-what’s a little more noise on top of that?”
Lauren laughed. “Dr. Baldwin is right. There’s really no point in worrying about this. Alright, everyone get to work. Focus on handling your current tasks first.”
Without hesitation, the executives got moving, following Lauren’s orders. Kingsley, meanwhile, motioned to Michael. “Michael, it’s time for us to go.” Michael’s face twitched, but he gritted his teeth and kept quiet.
They arrived at Moonlit Apothecary, where Kingsley had been before. Francesca was no longer there she had started her shift at Jayrodale General Hospital.
Cedric had just finished seeing a patient and was taking a break. When he saw Kingsley, a smile crossed his face. However, the moment his eyes landed on Michael, his expression darkened.
Kingsley waved dismissively. “Mr. Aicker, we’re here on business. This is just my driver-don’t bother with him.”
Michael’s anger flared. “Kingsley, I let you walk all over me at the company, but do you really think you can treat me like this outside too?”
Kingsley let out a casual “Oh?” before turning back to Cedric. “Mr. Aicker, as I said, he’s my driver-also a part-time arsonist, the Wellers stepmother’s boy toy, and a premature ejaculator…”
As Kingsley rattled off the labels one by one, Michael was fuming with rage. Without another word, he stormed out of Moonlit Apothecary and sulked in the car, seething.
‘That damn bastard!’ Michael silently swore he had to get rid of Kingsley. If not, he would be living in hell for the rest of his life, feeling like his entire body was crawling with ants
Inside the clinic, Cedric chuckled. “Only you, Dr. Baldwin, could put that Rhodes Gorporation scumbag in his place. To be honest, Michael and his father, Kenny, are exactly the same. I could tell from a young age that they were both rotten to the core.”
Kingsley got straight to the point. “Mr. Aicker, I came to ask about the spokesperson you mentioned for our two miracle drugs. Who is it?”
Cedric stroked his beard and said slowly, “This person is an old acquaintance of mine. They’ve been living in seclusion in the hills just outside Jayrodale.”
Cedric said, “When it comes to holistic medicine and wellness, this person has made quite a name for herself. In fact, in the entire Gabo Creek region, she’s renowned for her expertise in health and longevity.”
He added, “Many high-society women from Jayrodale line up just to seek her advice on beauty and anti-aging remedies whenever they get the chance.”
Kingsley’s face lit up. “A wellness expert? That’s perfect-getting her to endorse our miracle drug would be an ideal fit.”
Cedric, however, frowned. “It’s a good idea, but there are two major obstacles.”
“First, my old friend isn’t very social-she prefers solitude and spends most of her time in The Southern Highlands. Over the years, plenty of wealthy elites and high- ranking officials have tried to meet her, but most never even get past her front door.
“Second, her background is rather unique-she isn’t exactly someone from ‘our world.’ If you wanted to consult her for wellness knowledge, I could arrange that, but getting her to endorse a product? That’s a different story entirely.”
Kingsley raised an eyebrow. “I get that a wellness guru might not be the most social person. After all, people who dedicate themselves to health and longevity usually lead peaceful, detached lives. But what do you mean by ‘not from our world’? What’s so special about her identity?”
Cedric took a sip of tea before answering, “Because she used to be a nun-she once lived in a monastery in Everglade Mountain. That’s why I said she has a unique background-she’s not someone attached to worldly affairs.”
Kingsley was speechless for a moment. “A nun? Mr. Aicker, are you kidding me? How am I supposed to get a former nun to endorse a commercial product?”
Cedric shook his head. “That’s not as big of a conflict as you might think. We live in a time when everything is evolving. Even some high-ranking masters from monasteries are out there driving luxury cars, smoking cigars, and running live- streaming accounts.”
He continued, “My old friend is actually quite grounded. To make a living, she even runs a small business and creates short content to grow her own audience.”
Kingsley let out a laugh. “You can’t be serious.”
He was starting to think Cedric was just messing with him.
Cedric pulled out his phone, opened up TikTok, and handed it to Kingsley. “See for yourself. This is her content. I swear, every word I said is true-I’m not messing with you.”
Kingsley watched the short video on Cedric’s phone, his face full of surprise.
On the screen, a woman draped in a light veil was preparing tea. The video itself was an in-depth discussion about the differences between Holtrien’s and Eastonia’s tea cultures.
The background music was an elegant harp piece-tranquil and sophisticated, adding a refined touch to the entire atmosphere.
After watching, Kingsley nodded. “She’s definitely knowledgeable. Her understanding of wellness is deep and well-researched.”
Cedric retrieved his phone and, with a flick of his finger, casually switched over to a video of a suggestive dance.
