At the same time, Kingsley was lying on his bed. His eyes were closed, and he was thinking about the next step of his plan. It's Sunday tomorrow. Vincent doesn't come to school on Sundays. I'll have to wait for news from Elaine. Hm, but I can spend the day with Courtney. It'd be great if Elaine can take me to Vincent, but if things aren't going too well on her end, I'll have to barge into Vincent's office on Monday.
Kingsley tapped on the bed, thinking to himself, And what after that? How can I confirm if he's The Anonymous' boss? How can I find out if he's friend or foe without exposing myself? He was trying to figure it out, but a call broke his train of thoughts. It was an unknown number. "Hello?" Kingsley took the call, wondering who it was.
An old, exhausted voice could be heard coming over the phone. "Hello, Mr. Nicholson. I'm Heston, CEO of Scarlet Heart."
Kingsley cocked his eyebrow. "So they told you what happened to your boy, Mr. Maslow."
"He's heavily injured and taken to the emergency room," Heston said raspily. "Will told me the brutes spared Kyle because you asked them to. I'd like to thank you for that."
Kingsley smiled. "You don't have to. I sent the brutes after all."
"I know." He sighed. "Both my sons have been less than polite to you, but thank you for showing them mercy."
"Yeah, they weren't really polite," Kingsley agreed. "So why did you call me then? Seeing that you already knew why this happened."
"I-I know my sons did a lot of unsavory stuff," Heston said nervously. "But please, spare Scarlet Heart if you can, Mr. Nicholson."
He knew Kingsley was related to Coliree Group. He might even be Coliree's boss too. Heston was worried that Kingsley might use Coliree to attack his company out of rage. After all, Coliree was almost a hundred times bigger than Scarlet Heart was. One word from the boss, and it would be over for Scarlet Heart. Forget fighting for the top company in Diosna; they might lose everything they had as well.
Kingsley could see that he was almost on his knees, and he smiled. "I'm not that unreasonable. I've punished Kyle and your company enough. I'm not interested in doing anything further.
Kingsley smiled. "You don't have to. I sent the brutes after all."
"Thank you for sparing us, Mr. Nicholson." Heston felt a huge relief when Kingsley promised he would spare his company. He buzzed with excitement. "We own two five-star hotels in Diosna, Mr. Nicholson. The best presidential suite is yours for the duration of your stay in Diosna if you'd like."
Since Kingsley was sparing his company, Heston could finally start making his move elsewhere. Will had told him that Sunrise Corporation got on Kingsley's bad side as well, and Eric had to eat a sock in public as punishment. Heston realized this was the best chance to make a comeback.
Both the Maslows and Yorkshires had gotten on Kingsley's bad side, but the Maslows had paid the
price in blood, and Kingsley had forgiven them first. If I can butter him up enough, maybe I can take back that mega project from Sunrise Corporation. Heston quickly said, "Mr. Nicholson, if it's fine with you, we'll be covering all your spending costs for the duration of your stay in Diosna."
