With a cry, Tiana clutched her chest as her face turned pale with pain.
Lauren, can you really be so heartless to me, your mother, and the Rhodes family that raised you? Do you really want to fight us to the bitter end until the Driscoll family turns against our Rhodes family? Lauren rushed forward to support Tiana and called out anxiously, Jerry, quick, get a doctor! Moms condition is acting up! Tiana pushed her away angrily and said, don’t worry about me, worry about yourself! Go chase your happiness and your so called freedom and ridiculous love
Let the Rhodes familys hard earned position in Blumedale crumble, and destroy everything your father and grandfather worked for ! Tears rolled down Laurens cheeks as she said, Mom, you know I never meant to put the family in trouble
I want the Rhodes family to prosper too
I want to carry on grandfathers and fathers legacy, but- But you just can’t marry into the Driscoll family? Cant make this tiny sacrifice for the family? Tiana interrupted
Lauren burst into tears.
A tiny sacrifice? So my entire life and marriage are just small sacrifices to you? Tiana hesitated, realizing her words had been too harsh.
My child, I’m a woman too, and Ive been your age.
Thats why I’m telling you that Kingsley isnt the one for you.
Right now, you think your love for him is irreplaceable forever, but eventually, external pressures and lifes challenges will break you both.
Youll see that the man who once dazzled you is just another ordinary person; with him, youll only have a simple, mundane life.
Tiana continued earnestly, Listen to me this pain is temporary, an illusion.
You’re the Rhodes family princess.
Your world shouldnt be limited to a nobody.
Joe and the entire Driscoll family, all of Blumedale thats your true destiny.
One day, youll thank yourself and thank me for pushing you now.
Trust me, you wont regret it.
Lauren cried hard, but her resolve remained unshaken.
She declared firmly, No.
If I choose to comply now, thats when I’ll truly regret it
Ive told the family countless times Kingsley isnt ordinary.
Hes a hidden gem, and he deserves not just me, but any exceptional woman! The momentary softness in Tianas eyes vanished instantly.
So you’re still blindly obsessed with him? he asked coldly.
Lauren trembled as she felt the invisible barrier between mother and daughter, which had briefly narrowed, suddenly grew wider than ever.
She slowly wiped away her tears and said expressionlessly, Call it a blind obsession or say I’m degrading myself either way, it has to be Kingsley.
Tiana sneered.
Fine.
Youve always made this boy sound extraordinary.
Lets see how exceptional he really is.
Do you think hes better than Joe ? Lauren scoffed
Joe has his familys backing, of course, people look up to him
But when it comes to true excellence, he doesnt even deserve to be compared to my Dr. Baldwin ! Words are cheap we need facts, Tiana replied coldly.
Starting today, your house arrest is lifted.
You can return to work at Rhodes Corporation, but I need you to do one thing prove to me what makes this Kingsley so special.
Tiana continued, If he turns out to be ordinary and worthless, I’ll never approve of your relationship, even on my deathbed
Your father will inform the Driscoll family about this, and you know Joes temperament.
If he learns about Kingsleys existence, the consequences will be severe.
Laurens face paled slightly as she protested, You can’t let the Driscoll family go after Kingsley! Hes on his own without any backing, while Joe has the entire Driscoll fam supporting him its not fair! Fair ? Tiana laughed coldly
Theres no such thing as fairness in this world
Only the strong survive, and the weak perish.
Why would elite families talk about fairness with someone they could crush like an ant? Why would they waste their time? Lauren felt angry but knew she could not convince her mother.
She gritted her teeth and said, Fine, I’ll bring Dr. Baldwin to prove it to you
But let me be clear if his performance is impeccable, will you, Dad, and the Rhodes family approve of our relationship? If this Kingsley truly is the hidden gem you claim he is, then perhaps the Rhodes family might end up looking up to him instead, Tiana replied dismissively.
Lauren stated confidently, You might be right one day, Kingsley might have the entire Rhodes family looking up to him.
With that, she turned and left, eager to see Kingsley after several days apart.
Tiana stood at the second floor window of the mansion, watching her daughters retreating figure with a calculating look in her eyes.
Foolish girl, you’re too naive, she muttered.
No matter how hard Kingsley tries or how lucky he gets, he can never match someone like Joe, who comes from old money
Its an insurmountable gap the advantage of centuries of family legacy.
A common man will always be common, never comparable to true nobility.
Though Tiana claimed she wanted to see if Kingsley was as exceptional as Lauren described , she inwardly dismissed the possibility.
In her mind, Jayrodale was just a backwater pond full of small fish no hidden talent could emerge from such a place
Meanwhile, today was Kingsleys appointment with Ernest.
He had to get his hands on the Aurora Lotus, and since Ernest had been unreasonable and thrown his weight around, Kingsley decided he would not be polite either
Kingsley, the prince of the Baldwin dynasty who survived until today, was never a pushover .
Sometimes, it took a villain to deal with another villain.
Driving his G Wagon to Natashas place in West End, Kingsley was surprised to find Ernest already there. He had brought two bodyguards a man, and a woman.
Hey kid, didnt you say I’d be fatally ill and dying today? Ernest taunted with disdain, puffing on his cigar with his feet propped up on the table in a show of dominance.
But look at me now arent I alive and kicking? Ernest sneered and continued, I’ll tell you what I spent last night with some hot foreign girls, and I’m still in perfect shape! His female bodyguard playfully chided him at this comment.
Kingsley understood immediately this seductive woman was not really a bodyguard but Ernests mistress. Not that he cared.
After all, these wealthy heirs were known for their scandalous private lives.
don’t be hasty, Ernest, Kingsley replied calmly.
When I said three days, I meant t e full days.
The day has just begun.
Anything could happen at any moment.
Ernest scoffed
Tough talk, kid.
If cheap tricks could scare me, I wouldnt have made my reputation all these years.
Ernest, did you bring the Aurora Lotus today? Natasha asked with a forced smile.
Of course I did, Ernest replied, his eyes gleaming.
But Natasha, have you considered my offer? Spend one night with me, and this rare medicinal herb is yours at a fair price
Though disgusted, Natasha kept smiling and said, Ernest, I’m a widow you shouldnt pursue me. It would tarnish your reputation
Ernest brazenly replied, Thats nothing! History is full of scandalous affairs, and nowadays, people do far worse.
Wanting a widow is perfectly normal compared to others depravity, I’m practically a saint ! Natasha had enough of this repulsive old pervert and gave Kingsley a pleading look.
Before, when Natasha was not under Kingsleys protection, he could not interfere too much.
But now that she was his person, he could not let Ernests shameless behavior slide.
Kingsley cleared his throat and smiled.
Ernest, you seem to have quite a thing for widows.
HannahI young Ernest exhaled a cloud of smoke and laughed heartily.
Kid, you’re There are things in life you just can’t appreciate yet.
He leaned back, smirking.
Im feeling generous today, so I’ll share a little wisdom with you- listen up
Women are best when fresh and youthful but being too young isnt ideal either.
Aside from being fresh, theres another factor experience.
A widow like Natasha? Shes got both.
Her skin is smoother than an 18 year olds and lets not even start on the experience she brings.
Trust me, a widow like her is a rare gem, an absolute treasure! His shameless speech was so over the top that even Natasha, seasoned as she was, felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
Kingsley could not help but marvel at Ernests brazenness.
For someone so openly lecherous, his argument almost made sense.
Kingsleys gaze involuntarily flicked toward Natasha, studying her with curiosity.
