Chapter 377
Kyle would slap himself between sobs. "Oh, Will, I'm so sorry, I messed up. Can't you come up with a
way to save me?"
"You deserved every damn thing that happened to you. You are beyond help; not even Hades can save
you!" Will retorted angrily, but even as he did so, he was stumbling around in his head, trying to come
up with something he could do.
A few seconds later, his eyes lit up, and he asked Kyle, "Who were you trying to confess to today?"
"To Courtney, but Mr. Nicholson stopped…"
The moment Kyle uttered those words, a realization dawned on him.
With tears and snot streaming down his cheeks, he crept over to Courtney and begged, "Oh, Courtney,
you sweet, lovely Courtney! I know that a lowlife such as myself has no business setting his sights on
an angel like yourself! I beg of you. Please say something nice for me. Just this once, could you ask
him to let me off?"
Courtney gave him a cursory glance before dismissively saying, "I don't know who you are."
She turned her back on Kyle and wouldn't even look at him.
Kyle hit rock bottom when he saw that Courtney would not even consider helping him. His voice

cracked with desperation as he begged again, "Please! I beg you! Please forgive me..."
He reached out to try to grab Courtney's leg.
Kingsley's eyes flashed sternly as he called out coldly to Will, "I am going to count to five. In that time,
you better get him out of here! If not, you'll be announcing Scarlet Heart Group's bankruptcy tomorrow!"
Will was jolted by the impact of his words like an earthquake. It resonated in his ears and rumbled
through his thoughts simultaneously. Without hesitating for a second, he jumped to his feet.
While doing this, he grabbed Kyle by the collar and dragged him toward the car like a dog. Everything
happened in a very short amount of time.
Kyle had no time to react. His hands were still outstretched, and his voice was hoarse as he continued
to sob and cry, but he could not stop. "Help me! Please, I ask you. Please just let me go..."
Will had already shoved Kyle into his Aston Martin before Kingsley had a chance to start his
countdown.
A few moments later, there was a deafening screech as the car sped away.
Will was well aware of how powerful Kingsley was. He would never jeopardize the entire Scarlet Heart
Group for anything like this. Therefore, as soon as Kingsley gave the word, he immediately decided to
stop his pleas and instead focus on protecting the corporation.
With both brothers from the Maslows gone, all that remained was a group of young men from other
wealthy families. They were usually arrogant and not shy about making their opinions known, but now
they were too scared to speak. No one dared to break the silence as they huddled close, shaking with
fear.
Kingsley gave them the cold shoulder as he swept his steely eyes over them. "Are you students at this
university as well?"
"No..." the one who seemed to be their leader stuttered, "K-Kyle is a student here. We are just his
friends. No, not friends. We are some random people who were pulled over here to assist him."
The others finally mustered the courage to speak up, but their voices trembled. "That's true. Mr.
Nicholson, Kyle just summoned us here at the very last minute. We do not know anything!"
While doing this, he grabbed Kyle by the collar and dragged him toward the car like a dog. Everything
happened in a very short amount of time.
"Please don't punish us! We have no involvement in this!"
Kingsley turned toward Courtney. "They were pretty rude earlier, Courtney. How do you plan to deal
with this?"
Courtney adjusted her glasses. "Just get them outta here."

and thanked her profusely.
The words she spoke were like music to their ears. Instinctively, the group of young, wealthy men
bowed to Courtney and thanked her sincerely. But before they could revel in their excitement, Kingsley
declared, "The lives of those involved can be spared, but they must be taught a lesson. I'll ask Will to
make a list of everyone here today and ask him to put some sanctions on the companies of your
families instead."
His icy eyes glanced over them again as he said, "Scarlet Heart Group should be able to do that,
right?"
Thud!
…
Several pounding noises echoed around the room.
Kingsley's remarks were enough to send everyone stumbling to the floor in a heap.
They were all sons of second-class families. It would be child's play for Scarlet Heart Group to impose
restrictions on their families' businesses.
"Sob… Please, don't… Mr. Nicholson, I'm begging you. Please forgive us..."
"My life is over if my father finds out how severely I've screwed up... Sob..."
