Matt exploded in anger, “Don’t get me started! I ran into this arrogant little…”
He faltered halfway through his sentence once he saw Michael happily walking over to Kingsley and
greeting him pleasantly, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, you’re here!”
“Son… in-law?” Matt’s eyes widened incredulously. “This young man is your son-in-law?”
“Yeah!” Michael was puzzled by Matt’s ashen face. “What’s wrong, Matt? Do you guys know each
other?”
“That’s an understatement!”
Matt spat out angrily before turning around and storming back into Helen’s room.
His expression was dark and vicious.
Now that he knew Kingsley was Michael’s son-in-law, a new plan began to formulate in his mind.
There was no need for him to rush!
He wanted to kill two birds with one stone—to humiliate Michael, and to trample Kingsley beneath his
feet!
Michael glanced at Matt in confusion, but he did not dwell on it. Instead, he turned to Kingsley and
asked courteously, “Kingsley, didn’t you say that you’d help us make a good showing in front of the
Foxes? My mother-in-law has been giving me the third degree ever since I withdrew my donation to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthospital! If it’s alright with you, could you possibly take the time to come and help us?”
His words reminded Kingsley of the earlier incident.
In order to avenge Alice, he had asked Michael to withdraw his donation to Hill Crest Hospital, and in
return, he promised to help Michael make a good showing in front of Helen.
Just then, Alice peeked out from behind Kingsley and said with a smile, “Kingsley, is this the rich…
father-in-law that you mentioned?”
She nudged Kingsley. “You can go over now. I’ll stay here with Reene, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Alright.” Kingsley nodded. “Mr. Johnson’s medical tests would probably still take a while. I can spare
some time to visit Old Mrs. Fox now.”
He headed for the hospital room next to them.
“Wait a minute!” Alice pulled him back and chided, “This is your first time meeting your girlfriend’s
grandma. Are you just going in empty-handed?”
“Yeah?”
“Go down and buy something!” Alice poked his forehead. “There’s a fruit shop and a flower shop
downstairs. Get something that’s packaged nicely, or else the family might think that you don’t know
proper etiquette!”
Kingsley nodded. “You make a good point, Alice.”
Even though he was only pretending to be Cecilia’s boyfriend, it would still reflect badly on Cecelia if he
did not show the proper amount of respect for Helen.
Therefore, Kingsley went down to the fruit shop right outside the hospital entrance and got a fruit
basket.
As he came out of the fruit shop, he spotted Leoric and his men.
“Mr. Nicholson, we stuffed the Wynns into an express bus that’s headed for the countryside, and we
warned the driver to not let them off before reaching their destination!”
Leoric took out a business card and added with a laugh, “See, I even got the driver’s business card. I’m
sure he doesn’t have the guts to stop and let them off!”
“Alright. You did a good job.” Kingsley patted him on the back. “When I run into Victoria, I’ll let her know
to commend you for it.”
“Thank you, Mr. Nicholson!” Leoric effused. “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Nicholson, then I’ll be heading
back with my men. We just reclaimed our turf in the urban village, so there are a lot of things we need
to settle.”
Kingsley nodded his assent, and Leoric took leave with his men in tow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for Kingsley, he went back to the wards with a fruit basket in his arms.
Michael ushered him into Helen’s room.
In the hospital, there were several high-end couches.
Megan was seated on a couch that was nearest to the hospital bed, and she was peeling a tangerine
for Helen.
Matt and his son, Nicholas, were sitting by the window.
Beside them were several relatives from the Foxes’ extended family, and they had all come to curry
favor with Helen.
When Megan saw Kingsley coming in, she stood up happily and exclaimed, “Hi, my dear son-in-law!
Here, come over and take a seat!”
Matt’s expression darkened and his jaws were grinding when he noticed the way Megan fawned over
Kingsley.
He thought to himself, I’ll let you guys have your little fantasy for now! You guys won’t even know
what’s coming when I deal with that punk!
On the other hand, Nicholas was startled. “Son-in-law? He’s that precious son-in-law that Uncle
Michael was talking about?”
“That’s him.” Matt nodded before muttering, “But I just found out that he’s just a bum who has dealings
with the underworld!”
