His pursuit would only lead to humiliation and oppression from the family, After Marcus left, Kingsley contemplated for a moment before deciding to call Lauren.
Dr. Baldwin, are you missing me? Its rare for you to call first! Lauren answered with her usual fiery enthusiasm
Kingsley chose his words carefully and asked, Ms Rhodes, are you facing any difficulties lately? Lauren laughed and said, Difficulties ? Please, I’m the Rhodes heiress what difficulties could I have? My only problem is waiting for you to be with me.
Kingsley persisted, Ms. Rhodes, I’m serious
If you’re in trouble, I might be able to help.
The line went quiet for a moment.
Finally, Lauren forced a laugh and said, Okay, I admit I’m dealing with some minor issues. But don’t worry, Dr. Baldwin, I’ll handle everything soon and see you.
Just promise youll wait for me and wont fall for anyone else, okay? Kingsley was puzzled.
Are you sure you don’t need my help? Lauren giggled.
Of course! If I can’t handle this petty matter, then I don’t deserve to be your precious girl, Dr. Baldwin! Kingsley conceded.
Alright then.
Bye, Ms. Rhodes Lauren responded with a few kisses.
When Kingsley hung up after their goodbye, his frown had not eased
Just then, Francesca entered his office with an odd expression and said, Kingsley, your old flame is here at the hospital.
My old flame ? Kingsley asked, puzzled
Francesca scoffed, Yes, the perfect CEO Hannah and her family, along with that annoying Aspen. Kingsley walked to the hospital lobby with curiosity, where he found Irene lying on a gurney being wheeled to admission, wailing dramatically about her losses.
My money! All my life savings! My retirement fund its all gone! God, why must you give me the hardest battle? Her desperate cries drew sympathetic looks from passersb Kingsley could not help but smile, realizing that Irene had been hospitalized due to the shock of losing her investment.
This money obsessed woman was truly having the worst luck.
Hannah and Aspen stood nearby, their faces dark with embarrassment.
When Aspen spotted Kingsley, she immediately stormed over to him with a rigid expression.
Kingsley, let me ask you something, Aspen demanded
You said the Northern District would fall soon and that my investment would be like jumping into a fire pit, right? Kingsley smirked and replied, Yes, thats exactly what I said
And I was right, wasnt I? Aspens voice turned ice cold as she asked, Then can I assume Atlass death is connected to you? Did you know beforehand, or perhaps you orchestrated everything? Did you kill Atlas ? Is that why you were so certain my billion dollar investment would go down the drain? You’re partly right I did know Atlas would fall, Kingsley replied calmly
I warned both you and the Snees family not to throw your money away, but none of you listened. Thats not my fault.
Aspen responded with a contemptuous laugh.
Hannah stepped forward and sneered, Kingsley, can’t you tell Aspen was baiting you? I can’t believe youd shamelessly take credit for Atlas and the Northern Districts downfall.
don’t you think you’re giving yourself too much importance? Kingsley raised an eyebrow and asked, So you don’t believe what I just said? Aspen scoffed.
Were not idiots.
Who are you compared to Atlas ? He was a legendary figure who controlled the entire Northern District. Though he met an unfortunate end, claiming you planned it all is just absurd.
You’re really overestimating yourself.
Hannah added with disgust, Kingsley, youve become increasingly vain and pretentious.
Taking too big a step isnt always good.
If you can’t stay grounded and humble, everything you have have now will vanish like smoke.
Kingsley shrugged and replied, Your lecture is noted, Ms. Snees
But whos really in trouble here me or the Snees family? Who lost a billion dollars and ended up with nothing me or a certain self proclaimed female genius? His pointed questions made both Hannahs and Aspens faces darken instantly
Aspen, in particular, had arrived in Jayrodale full of confidence, belleving she could outperform any man
Yet Kingsley had repeatedly proven her wrong.
Her billion dollar investment in the Northern District was completely lost
When she had rushed to Atlass territory yesterday, she found it completely emptied.
Even the furniture had been divided between South City and West End.
She had frantically contacted every possible connection to recover her massive investment, only to learn that the money had vanished completely.
If she wanted it back, she would have to ask Atlas in the afterlife.
No matter how many failures I face, Kingsley, I’ll never stoop to being a gold digger like you, Aspen said venomously
She continued, Natasha and Dylan might be fooled by you now, but tell them this I wont let Atlass death go unpunished.
If they don’t return my billion dollars, theyll face the same fate as the Northern District ! Kingsley replied calmly, Let me warn you one last time, Aspen.
This is Jayrodale, not Bridgefields, and certainly not your Snees family territory.
You should learn to be more modest away from home.
Not everyone will coddle you like your parents.
If you try to cause trouble for Dylan and Natasha, youll only be destroying yourself.
Hannah laughed coldly and said, Kingsley, you’re acting like you represent these two underground leaders.
Why put on such an act? You’re actually right, Kingsley smiled.
I do represent them.
In fact, I now control Jayrodales underground world.
Aspen scoffed, Come on, Hannah.
Lets go
Its a waste of time talking to someone living in a fantasy world.
Hannah gave Kingsley a cold look and said with a smirk, I heard Ms. Rhodes has a new marriage arrangement
Your good days are coming to an end, Kingsley.
Kingsley smiled and replied, No worries.
I still have Fran, Natasha, and Elsie as close friends
These wealthy, beautiful women can keep me living the high life! Have you become completely shameless? Hannah snapped
don’t you have any pride left? Kingsleys expression turned cold as he said, Hannah, Ive been lenient with you became of our history
But your stupidity and arrogance have become unbearable.
I warned you that your blind pride would be your downfall.
Lets wait and see
Hannahs face flushed with anger as she laughed bitterly, Fine, lets wait and see.
I told you I’d be better off without you! Despite her words, Hannah felt frustrated inside.
Kingsley had risen far above her, while her own missteps had left her trailing behind his success. This realization made her deeply uncomfortable
Ignoring the two egotistical women, Kingsley returned to his office and asked Francesca, Fran, whats going on with Irene? Francesca smirked and replied, Chest pain, anxiety attack, fainting she keeps crying about losing her life savings and not wanting to live anymore.
Kingsley shook his head.
Thats karma for you.
No one else to blame.
Francesca snorted.
Of course its karma ! You have already advised the Snees family, but they didnt listen.
I still remember how the old hag Irene kept showing off, but its all over now.
She didnt get rich, and she was so angry that she was hospitalized!… Meanwhile, at the Rhodes residence, Lauren was in a good mood after her phone call with Kingsley
Unlike his previous emotionally distant behavior, he had finally shown some consideration for her.
Tiana entered the room wearing an elegant black dress, her expression ice cold as she asked, You were talking to that boy again, werent you? Lauren replied dismissively, Mom, are you going to control who I talk to now? Watch your tone, Lauren, Tiana said sternly.
Your dad sent me here to keep an eye on you and make sure you cut all ties with that boy including emotional ones.
Laurens good mood instantly vanished as her face darkened.
She snapped, Why don’t you.
just have me killed then? What did you say? Tiana raged.
Lauren took a deep breath and confronted her mother, who had always been extremely strict. with her
Since you want to control my thoughts and freedom, why not just have someone kill me? Then, you wont have to look at me anymore! Tiana raised her hand to slap Lauren but stopped herself at the last moment.
Lauren, I may not be able to control you, but remember this you’re a Rhodes heiress, not some common street girl.
She added icily, If you continue this entanglement with Kingsley, you wont just destroy yourself, youll end up destroying him too! Laurens heart skipped a beat as she laughed coldly.
Mom, Ive said this before you can take away my CEO position and keep me under house arrest, but the one thing you can’t touch is the only person I care about and love.
If anything happens to Kingsley, you wont see me in a wedding dress marrying into the Driscoll family youll see my cold dead body returned to you and the Rhodes family! Tianas cold expression grew increasingly agitated before she finally stepped back in defeat.
Her voice tinged with hurt as she said, You’re my flesh and blood, your fathers only child.
Yet for an outsider, a nobody, you treat your parents this way and threaten the family.
