“You know what they say when one person makes it big, their whole family rises with them. Kenny used to be just another unremarkable member of the Rhodes family, but with the Goldings backing him, he flipped the tables. Now, he’s a serious contender for the head of the family.
“Michael, sitting in the CEO seat while doing absolutely nothing in Jayrodale-did you really think that was my choice?”
Tiana clenched her teeth and said, “You’re wrong. This is all because Kenny has been pressuring Jameson in Blumedale. On top of that, the Golding family has been scheining, using Kenny as a pawn to take over the Rhodes family.”
She explained, “So I have no choice but to protect Michael! If I don’t, Jameson will be isolated in Blumedale, and I won’t be there to support him. If Kenny decides to make a bold move against the head of the family, then Lauren may never see the father who loves her most again!
“And Lauren’s success has far outshined Michael, directly threatening Kenny’s family’s interests. Under Kenny’s manipulation, Joe learned about Lauren and fell for her at first sight. Now, the whole marriage arrangement with the Driscoll family.
“People think I’m just trying to curry favor with them as if im the one pushing for this marriage. But the truth is, the Driscoll family is powerful, wealthy, and filled with dangerous men. They didn’t ask for Lauren’s hand- they’re forcing it!”
After spilling everything, Tiana looked utterly exhausted. It was not just physical fatigue but the kind of exhaustion that came from powerlessness-having no choice but to endure humiliation and frustration.
Kingsley stayed silent for a moment before chuckling. “Mrs. Rhodes, the Rhodes family may seem stuck in Blumedale’s mess right now, but there is a way out. And honestly? It’s pretty simple.”
Tiana scoffed. “You say that like it’s easy. Alright then, tell me how exactly do we fix this?”
Kingsley shrugged. “Since we’re talking simple, why not go with the simplest solution? Just get rid of Kenny.”
Tiana stared at him, stunned for a long moment. Then, she suddenly let out a mocking laugh.
“That’s your brilliant idea? What a reckless and naive solution. Do you think it’s that easy to just take Kenny out? Even if we ignore the chaos it would cause within the Rhodes family, there’s still the Golding family-we won’t be able to handle the moment they retaliate.”
Kingsley remained calm. “If Kenny’s gone, no matter how much internal chaos there is, the head of the family would still have control in the end. As for the Golding family? They’re not as untouchable as you think. If they refuse to back down and insist on making this a war, then they can be dealt with too.”
Tiana’s face darkened in anger. “Kingsley, you’re getting more outrageous by the second-do you even hear yourself?
“Do you actually think the Golding family is just some weak little business we can push around? Let me tell you, in Blumedale, they’re just as powerful as the Driscoll family. The fact that you can even say something this absurd -if it reaches the Goldings’ ears, you might not live to see the sunrise.”
She shook her head, then let out a bitter laugh, waving a hand dismissively. “I must be losing my mind, actually arguing with you about this. You and Marvin may be doing well for yourselves in
Jayrodale, but Blumedale is a whole different world. In that place, you’re nothing but a flicker of light in a storm. There’s no point in taking your words seriously.”
Kingsley remained indifferent. “Doesn’t matter to me. This is your problem, not mine. I only have one goal-if Lauren doesn’t want this, then no one can force her.”
he’
Tiana let out a cold huff. “She’s my daughter. Do you think you love her more than do? More than her own father? Listen to me, Kingsley. Everything I’ve done, every painful choice I’ve made, even hurting my own daughter -it’s all to give her a little more safety, a little more freedom.”
She added, “But do you even understand what you’re doing You claim to love her, but you’re only putting her in danger. If you stay by her side, you’re dragging her straight into the fire.”

Kingsley spoke calmly. “Mrs. Rhodes, if I resolve the Rhodes family’s crisis, will you stop forcing Lauren into this?”
Tiana let out a mocking laugh. “You? Solving the Rhodes family’s crisis? Kingsley, you’re too young, too impulsive, and you think way too highly of yourself. Remember, don’t ever bring up such ridiculous ideas in front of me again.
“I was just starting to see you differently, but now, I’m reminded why I had no respect for you in the first place! In short, you and Lauren are impossible! You can’t protect her and you can’t give her what she needs!”
Her tone was dripping with scorn and dismissal, but Kingsley’s expression remained composed. From the very beginning, he had never taken the Rhodes family-or even the so-called powerful Driscoll and Golding families in Blumedale- seriously.
Just then, the door swung open, and Lauren rushed in, her face pale. She said weakly, “Dr. Baldwin, let’s go. I have nothing left to say to this cruel woman. If she insists on being reckless and stubborn, then let her be. From now on, I’ll never care what happens to her again!”
She grabbed Kingsley’s arm and pulled him toward the door
Kingsley sighed. In truth, Tiana had been secretly protecting Lauren all this time. No matter what she said or did, he could not bring himself to hate her or even be angry with her.
“Kingsley, remember what I told you,” Tiana warned as she watched them leave. “If you’re a real man, think about Lauren’s future instead of selfishly dragging her into danger. Do you really want her to end up destroyed because of you?”
Kingsley did not respond, nor did he look back. He simply walked out with Lauren. Once they returned to the office, he gently pressed her shoulders down, making her sit.
He said, “You should rest a little longer. You’re still too weak.”
Lauren’s eyes were red and swollen, and she looked completely lost and broken.
“I always thought she didn’t love me, that she resented me as her daughter,” she murmured. “But I never imagined she’d be this heartless-choosing Michael over me without hesitation.”
Her voice cracked, and before she could finish, tears spilled down her face. She buried herself against Kingsley’s shoulder and sobbed uncontrollably.
Kingsley gently stroked her back, his voice soft with reassurance. “Lauren, have you ever considered that yetoget maybe Mrs. Rhodes does love you? She just has her own way of showing it… a way that’s buried under a lot of pain.”
Lauren sniffled, shaking her head. “It doesn’t matter. I won’t forgive her this time, Dr. Baldwin, I have no one now… only you. Don’t leave me. Take me away from here, please?

Q.UMS
Kingsley let out a quiet sigh and tightened his arms around her. “Silly girl, don’t worry. I won’t ever let go of your hand-I’ll always be here for you.”
There was deep love between Tiana and Lauren, but the walls between them were thick, built over years of misunderstandings and painful choices.
Kingsley wanted to bridge that gap, but there were some things he could not bring himself to say. If he told Lauren that her father was barely holding on in Blumedale, she would undoubtedly drop everything and rush to save him.
Yet, with the crisis the Rhodes family faced there, how could a single woman like Lauren possibly turn things around?
As Lauren cried, soaking the fabric of his shirt, Francesca stepped forward with concern. “Kingsley, I think Lauren should get some rest. She’s been through too much today.
Kingsley agreed with Francesca’s suggestion. Then, he pressed a point on Lauren’s shoulder, and she immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Just then, noise erupted outside. Kingsley frowned and was about to ask Francesca to check it out when Eunice, secretary, rushed in with a panicked expression.
the
She reported angrily, “It’s Michael. He’s been released without charges.”
Francesca’s face darkened. “Released? He committed arson How the hell did the police let him walk free?”
Eunice sighed bitterly. “I don’t know, but Michael is absolutely smug about it. He’s out there right now, celebrating while his lackeys kiss up to him.”
Kingsley remained calm. “No need to speculate. Let’s go see for ourselves.”
In the Rhodes Corporation’s banquet hall, Michael was surrounded by a crowd of sycophants, popping champagne and reveling in his so-called victory. The entire scene was loud, obnoxious, and filled with arrogance.
“Mr. Rhodes, you’re incredible! Even the cops couldn’t touch you!”
“Say no more-after today, I swear, I’m sticking with Mr. Rhodes!”
“With Mr. Rhodes in charge, Jayrodale is as good as his playground. Who the hell would dare challenge him?”
The endless flattery only made Michael grin wider, his arrogance reaching new heights.
Just then, Kingsley and Francesca stepped into the room.
Michael, cigarette hanging from his lips, sauntered over and chuckled. “Kingsley, what do you think now? I told you-those cops couldn’t do a damn thing to me. You didn’t believe me then, but I bet you do now.”
Kingsley smiled lazily. “Then congratulations, Mr. Rhodes. You’ve managed to crawl out of the lion’s den and live another day.”
Michael’s face darkened. His smile twisted into a sneer as he spat, “Kingsley, I’ve told you before-no matter what you do, you’ll never outplay me. Even the police in Jayrodale couldn’t touch me. So tell me, who the hell do you think you are?”
Kingsley remained unfazed as he replied, “I’m nothing. But you, Mr. Rhodes you’re something, alright. A worthless mutt. A pathetic pile of garbage. That’s what you are. Satisfied?”
Michael’s lackeys immediately flared up and lunged toward Kingsley. “You think you can talk to Mr. Rhodes like that? You’re digging your own grave!”
Michael raised a hand, stopping them. “Hold on. Don’t touch him.”
His smirk deepened as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. “I’ll personally make sure this bastard doesn’t leave here alive.”
He looked Kingsley up and down with disdain. “Let me teach you a little something, Kingsley. Out here in the real world, power and connections are what matter. You might think you’re tough, but Jayrodale is just a tiny dot on the map. Someone like m? I’m on a whole different level one you’ll never reach.”
Kingsley chuckled. “And you think that level comes from your daddy, Kenny, right? Let me make this clear-if you dare pull any more stunts, if you so much as try to hurt Lauren again, you won’t make it out of Jayrodale alive.”
Michael’s expression flickered for a split second before he let out a sharp laugh. “Well, well, seems like you’ve done your homework. You actually know about my old man. But do you even realize how much power he holds? With just a flick of his finger, he could crush you.”
Francesca clenched her fists. “Michael, what the hell are you so proud of? The head of the Rhodes family isn’t your father-it’s Lauren’s father, Mr. Jameson Rhodes!”
Michael scoffed and waved her off. “Francesca, you’re hot, but honestly, the only thing you’ve got going for you is your looks. Let me give you a little reality check. The one running the Rhodes family right now isn’t Uncle Jameson. It’s my father, the man who just secured an alliance with the Golding family in Blumedale.
“As for Uncle Jameson? Please. If I’m feeling polite, I’ll still treat him like an elder, and let him keep up the act of being the head of the family. If I’m not I’ll call him by his name to his face-and he wouldn’t dare say a damn thing about it.”

Francesca let out a cold laugh. “You really think I’d believe word you say? Everyone in Jayrodale knows that Mr. Jameson has always been the backbone of the Rhodes family. Mr. Kenny? He’s been irrelevant for years.”
Michael whistled arrogantly, his grin widening. “Ever heard the saying? Tables turn every. Did you really think my father and I would stay nobodies forever? Fran, if your brains were even half as big as your chest, you’d know better.
“Go ask around-aside from not officially taking the family head title, my father has already stripped Jameson of all his power.”
Feeling triumphant, Michael took a long swig of champagne, reveling in his own audacity.
“Oh, and let me really open your eyes. The Wellers’ warehouse? Yeah, I torched it. Not just that-I took a few lives while I was at it. But so what? Dad made one call to the Golding family, and they made another straight to the governor’s office.
“After that, the governor put pressure on Mr. Thatcher, and Mr. Thatcher cracked down on that fat pig Donald, forcing him to cut me loose immediately. And just like that, I walked out of there untouched. That, my friends, is real power. That’s what it means to be untouchable.”
Watching Michael bask in his arrogance, Francesca felt nothing but disgust. “Michael, you might escape for now, but karma has a way of catching up with people like you.”
Michael sneered, his eyes flashing with malice. “Francesca, if you were smart, you’d ditch Kingsley and Lauren while you still can. Spend some quality time with me instead. If you can satisfy me, maybe I’ll be generous and help out your little Aickers family.”
His gaze shifted to Kingsley, a cruel smirk curling on his lips. “And you-watch your back. My old man’s got his eye on you now. I’d be careful if I were you-wouldn’t want to take a wrong turn one night and end up in a ditch.”
Kingsley grabbed Francesca’s hand and turned to leave. “Fran, there’s no point wasting time on this scumbag.”
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced back, his expression unreadable. “When I first came to Rhodes Corporation, I was only planning to teach you a lesson. But now, I’ve changed my mind. Michael, I’m going to make sure you don’t walk away from this. Mark my words.”
Michael’s expression twisted in fury as he clenched his teeth. That bastard actually dared to threaten him?
He had already laid all his cards on the table, yet Kingsley was not the least bit afraid-he had not even flinched.
That pissed Michael off. Normally, people would be trembling the second they heard his father’s name.
“Bane!” Michael suddenly barked.
From the shadows, a figure emerged a man who had been sitting quietly like a ghost in the corner. His voice was eerily calm.
“What do you need, Mr. Rhodes?”
Michael’s eyes gleamed with vicious intent. “Poison, That’s your specialty, isn’t it? I’m done waiting. I want Kingsley dead. I don’t care how you do it-make his body rot from the inside out, make him suffer until he begs for death. And when you’re done, bring him to me. I want to be the one to crush his skull under my boot.”
