A moment later, Kingsley remembered Scarlet Heart Group's Will Maslow was Reene's classmate during her university days. They had met once during the pre-bid conference back in the Coliree Group. At the time, Will was so arrogant that he told Reene she should sleep with him for a night. In a fit of rage, Kingsley immediately replaced the Scarlet Heart Group, which had won the bidding, with the Sunrise Corporation to be in charge of the project.
Nonetheless, Will wasn't as much of a fool as he seemed, as he immediately came and apologized to both Kingsley and Reene after he realized how serious the matter was. Furthermore, when Reene got shot, it was due to him taking the initiative to clear the way with his Aston Martin that they had managed to rush Reene to the hospital in time. At the time, Kingsley hadn't gone after Will and had allowed him to return to Diosna City, as he was worried about Reene's injuries.
However, the Scarlet Heart Group did indeed suffer defeat at the pre-bid conference. Not only did Will lose an eight billion project, but he had also lost that huge project to his rival group, Sunrise Corporation. With the fact being what it was, it was natural to assume he would be faced with unfortunate consequences upon returning to Diosna City. Firstly, he was physically abused with a belt by his father. Next, all of his bank cards were frozen. Then, he had come close to losing the management rights of his company. Truly, his misery had known no bounds. However, Kingsley was not aware of any of these facts.
At this moment, Kingsley looked at the extravagant display in front of him and thought to himself just how arrogant these young masters from the Scarlet Heart Group were, one after another. Back when Will was still in college, he had made a bet with the other wealthy kids on who would be the first to get into Reene's pants. However, Kyle was even worse, as he spent more than a hundred thousand just to
go after a girl.
Just as Kingsley was secretly lamenting the situation, one of the wealthy men shouted, "The heroine will be coming out soon! Friends, let's give space for Young Master Kyle!"
As soon as someone said that, the rest of the wealthy men went back to the crowd before they started cheering and making whistling sounds. Then, only one young man, who was all dressed in branded items, was left standing smugly in the middle of the heart-shaped candle formation.
Looking at such a situation, he said to Elaine with a smile, "This gesture seems to be so full of it. I'm guessing the average girl would not be able to refuse such a courtship, right?"
With slight awkwardness on her face, she replied, "About that… Court's brother, please don't be too agitated when I tell you this…"
"What is it?" Kingsley was slightly taken aback, as he felt a bad feeling by Elaine's way of talking.
"About this Kyle, he's been courting Court for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, everything here is part of his effort in going after Court," Elaine said while taking glances at Kingsley. "Logically speaking, she wouldn't agree to go out with that man. However, just like you said, no average girl would be able to refuse when faced with such a courtship. With how things are right now, Kyle may end up becoming your brother-in-law…"
Kingsley's face immediately turned grim when he heard the words 'brother-in-law.' Staring at Kyle, who was shaking his legs with a high and mighty expression, he said coldly, "Him? Not even several
lifetimes of him bettering himself would make him worthy of my sister!"
One of Kyle's men overheard what Kingsley said. However, due to how noisy the place was, he only overheard bits of what Kingsley said. Thus, he turned his attention to Kingsley and asked, "Brat, what did you just say? Are you saying Young Master Kyle isn't worthy of your senior?"
Immediately, several young men with cigarettes in their mouths around Kingsley snorted and swore vulgarities. "Haha, looks like we have another school boy here who has a crush on Courtney! Just another one of those craving for something they're not worthy of!"
"F*ck you! You better watch what you say! How dare you say Young Master Kyle isn't worthy!"
"That's right. Although that chick is good-looking, with how ordinary her family is, it's a blessing for her to be courted by Young Master Kyle!"
Kingsley's expression grew colder with every passing second as he listened to their provocative words.
