I Am the Ruler of All

Reene squinted. "Oh, Alice. You're all grown up now." She threatened, "Should I remind you of how I used to spank your butt?"
"Oops. Forget I ever asked." Alice chuckled and turned around. "Did you send a guy over, Kingsley? He was waiting for me at
the reception this morning."
Kingsley nodded. "Yes. He's my friend's father. Paralyzed for about a decade, so I'd like him to get a full-body checkup."
"I told someone to send him to a ward in General Surgical." Alice pointed downstairs. "He's on the fourteenth floor, VIP ward
number twelve. Mr. Lynch talked to the General Surgical's supervisor once he found out that you sent the guy. He's probably
undergoing a checkup now."
At this moment, someone flung the ward's door open.
"What happened? Why are you hurt?"
"Yeah! We just got an investment! Things are just starting to pick up steam, and now you're hurt? What the hell happened?"
Kingsley frowned. He looked at the newcomers and saw Elijah and Ysabel coming in, looking miffed.
"You're in the hospital. Be quiet!" Alice stood up, looking upset. "The patient needs her peace and quiet. Stop shouting!"
She was not in her coat, so Ysabel did not heed her advice. "What the heck did you just say to me?" She shoved Alice away with
her elbow. "Piss off! This is none of your business!"
Alice tumbled backward and crashed into the stool. If it were not for Kingsley, she would have fallen down. Kingsley snarled,
"Didn't you hear her? Reene needs to rest! Be quiet!"
"F*ck off!" Ysabel put her hands on her hips. "Ethan sent us the video, where you admitted that the Larsons' invitation has
nothing to do with you! Don't even try to lecture us!"
Elijah glared at Kingsley as well. "That's right! You embarrassed us, and I'll make you pay for it! Out of my way! I'm taking Reene

away from this hospital. This place smells like misfortune."
Ysabel tried to pull the IV infusion's tube away, but Kingsley smacked her hand away. "What are you doing?" he roared. "She's
not even healed up yet! Lay a finger on her and I will kill you!" He held Ysabel's hand and hurled her away.
"Ah, I'm dead!" Ysabel sat on the ground and slapped her thighs as she complained, "Reene, you jinx! Just when we finally got
that investment and Coliree Group's project, you had to get yourself in trouble! Your grandfather and uncle are here, and you
can't even do anything about it! You're killing us here!"
All the color drained from Reene's face. "W-Why are they here?"
"Why? They want to take Neveah away, that's why!" Elijah gritted his teeth. "They wanna kick you while you're down and take
the store away by force. We managed to slip away and come here before they did just to warn you. You have to get out of here.
They can't see you like this."
Alice's chest heaved. "Are you insane? She just got an operation two days ago. She can't get discharged right away!" She
clenched her fists. "Honestly, I really hope Scarface is still around. At least he can kick you guys out for disturbing the peace."
Another commotion happened in the corridor, and they could hear Clarence's voice booming from a hundred yards away.
"Where's Reene? Is she fine? I want to see her!" He tried to sound concerned, but everyone could hear the delight in his voice.
Clarence, Henry, and some of the younger guys of the Wynns had come as well. There were more than a dozen of them, and
the VIP ward was packed. Everyone had a frown on their faces, and it was obvious they were here for trouble. A lot of patients
and their families swarmed the corridor and stood outside the ward, watching the drama unfold.
Clarence came up to the bed smugly, as if he had won the battle. "Reene, I'm here to—" Before he could finish, he saw Kingsley
standing beside the bed, looking furious. Clarence's flame of fury was lit up as well. "F*ck! It's you! You ruined my daughter's
marriage! I'll kill you!"
