Chapter 430
The next morning, Kingsley received a message from Elaine around 9.00AM. 'Why haven't you come
to school, Kingsley? My dad is already in the office." Staring at the message, Kingsley found himself in
a dilemma with no idea how to reply to the innocent girl, for he couldn't forgive her father for having
gotten his parents killed. After all, not only was Elaine Courtney's best friend, but she had also stood up
for Kingsley once in the past.
Hesitant and confused, Kingsley struggled to figure out how he should respond to Elaine. He then
rubbed his temples, wishing Elaine was his enemy—just like how Caleb, Nicholas, and William were.
That way, he wouldn't have much to worry about when dealing with Vincent. Upon knitting his eyebrows
for a while, Kingsley replied to Elaine, 'I was planning to meet Professor Albright tomorrow during his
new book launch."

all of a sudden and end up getting chased out of there.' Elaine responded not long after that, whereas
Kingsley put his phone down and started planning for his retaliation the next day.
Meanwhile, Courtney was sitting in her bedroom at Block Jasmine, wearing a pair of black-rimmed
glasses while rapidly typing on her keyboard. Soon, Queenie opened the bedroom door and walked in
with a smile. "Have you heard about the dance competition that the dance club is holding at the
stadium, Court? Do you want to go there and watch it with me?"
"Nah, I'll pass." Courtney didn't even bother to turn around. "I'm not interested."
Queenie leaned in closer, trying to change Courtney's mind by tempting her. "Court, are you sure you
don't want to come along? There are plenty of hot guys in the dance club. Are you sure you don't want
to see them for yourself?"
"Hot guys?" Courtney was stunned for a while just as Kingsley's silhouette flashed across her mind.
"Haha! Kingsley is the most handsome man there is in the world. I won't lay my eyes on anyone else
besides him."
"Come on, Court. Come with me, won't you?" Queenie seized Courtney's arm and shook it, begging
the latter. "Where is the fun in sitting in front of your computer all day? Come with me to the dance
competition. We're just going to take a glimpse of it! We have class at 1.00PM anyway, so we could
swing by the stadium and take a peek at what's going on before heading over to E.E. Block."
Tired of Queenie's begging, Courtney sighed and gave in. "Fine. Should we wait for Elaine to come
back before going?"
"She has her class in the morning, so we should go first." Queenie was excited after hearing
Courtney's agreement. "That's not a bad idea, though. I suppose she could get us something to eat
after her class when she meets us at the stadium."
"You have a point." Courtney nodded her head and turned off her laptop, whereupon she left the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbedroom with Queenie.
When the two ladies arrived at the stadium, they were greeted by the sight of hundreds of students who
were enjoying the thrilling dance performance on stage. While most of the audience were female
students, they were seen cheering for the guys they had crushes on while blushing heavily.
On the other hand, more than a dozen guys were wearing fashionable outfits on the stage. As they
stood with their teammates on opposite ends of the stage, it appeared that the two teams were ready to
compete with each other.
In the meantime, Courtney and Queenie quickly found a place for themselves to sit as soon as they got
to the stadium. Then, Queenie pointed at a guy with long hair in excitement, her cheeks turning red.
"Look, Court. That guy is my crush! I hope he is going to be the champion!"
Courtney reluctantly glanced at the guy Queenie was referring to and calmly said, "Nah, he needs to
man up a little more. After all, that's what makes a man look charming." At the same time, she was
once again reminded of Kingsley's handsome look and buff figure.
