Chapter 144
Brian had been trying his luck for a while now, but Jennifer never did give him a chance. It was not until Beau dumped her did
she agree to go out for dinner with him. The fact that Jennifer was giving him a chance excited him, and he gave Kingsley an
arrogant look. "Fight me if you're a man. We're going one on one."
Kingsley looked at him. "You're challenging me to a fight?" This guy doesn't look like he lifts. I might kill him in one blow. "You
know who Jude is, right? Jude Lynch?" Kingsley said, "I punched him once, and he almost died. Are you sure you want to fight
me?"
Brian looked horrified. "You're the guy who beat Mr. Lynch up?"
Jennifer looked excited. She pointed at Alice and screeched, "So you hired this guy to beat Mr. Lynch up? No wonder you got
fired! It's because you crossed both Mr. Lynch and Dr. Church!" She laughed. "You're finished, Alice! Everyone knows Mr. Lynch
is best friends with the director's son! There's no way you can come back to work now that you've crossed them!"
By then, the waiter had served all the food, so Alice said coldly, "Are you done yet, Jennifer? We need to have our dinner now.
Leave."
"What? Embarrassed?" Jennifer looked all smug and pointed at the tea on the table. "Since we used to be colleagues, why don't
you kneel before me, serve me tea, and tell everyone you're a slut? I'll do you a favor and get you a job at the hospital as a
janitor. How about that?" Her grin was so huge that the makeup on her face was starting to fall. "This is for your own good, Alice.
It's hard to get a job in this economy. At least a janitor is a stable job. So, what will you do?"
"Feel lucky we're not in a Western restaurant, or I will cut your artery open." Alice squinted. "You should know how good I am
with a scalpel."
"Why you..." Jennifer froze up, and she had no comeback. Just then, she noticed someone walking past the restaurant, and her
eyes shone. She quickly opened the windows and shouted, "Mr. Lynch! Here! I found the guy who beat you up! He's right here!"
The man outside was Jude himself. He had just gotten off work and was on his way home. He lived near the hospital and would
pass by the restaurant every day. The man was trudging home, trying to find a way to get Kingsley to forgive them as per
Jeffred's orders. But what should I do? Should I get him some gifts? Or should I give him money?
His train of thoughts was broken by Jennifer's shouts. He looked up and saw her waving at him from inside the restaurant. Jude
did not want to entertain her at first, but when he saw Alice and Kingsley beside them, the man froze up. His mind raced, and he
thought, This is the perfect chance to apologize! So, he went in through the front door.
While Jude made his way toward them, Jennifer said haughtily, "Your boyfriend can't run now! Mr. Lynch is going to call the cops
on him!"
Alice was feeling nervous too, and she said, "We should leave. If Mr. Lynch goes back on his word, then you'll have to go to
prison."
"Don't worry." Kingsley gave her a reassuring smile. "He doesn't have the guts to. He won't do it unless he wants to lose his job."
Jude was only a few feet away from them at that moment.
Jennifer and Brian greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Lynch." Jude might not be their department chief, but everyone in the hospital knew
that he was great friends with Zayne, and Jeffred liked him enough to probably make him the next deputy director. That was why
everyone was always respectful to him.
Even Alice stood up as well. "M-Mr. Lynch..." she said.
