Chapter 31


    Just then, a crack sounded at that moment! A bone-chilling snap was suddenly heard from Gordon’s


    neck! It was the sound of his bones getting crushed!!At that very moment, the whole office became so


    silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was terribly horrified by the sight of Gordon’s snapped


    neck! He was crushed to death right in front of their eyes!Every one of the business elites inside the


    office became petrified and started to tremble in fear after seeing what had happened. It was especially


    so for Benjamin as he passed out instantly!Thud! Kingsley threw Gordon’s dead body toward Alex and


    warned him coldly, “This is how you’ll end up if you mess around with Reene!”After getting struck by the


    dead body, Alex fell to the ground as he feared for his life with goosebumps running all over his body.


    He pushed the corpse away hastily while screaming with all he had, “Ahhhhhh! You murderer! You


    murdered him!!”“Him? That was just a piece of garbage.” Wow, that’s cold. With that, Kingsley left the


    ce with Reene right away.It took a distance away from Neveah Store for Reene to finally snap out of


    shock. “K-Kingsley, did you really kill him?”As her body trembled, she started to look through her purse


    in a flurry and hushed. “Here, take all this money and run away as far as possible! If the cops find you,


    just say that I did it—I killed him!” While saying that, she stuffed all her credit cards into his hands. “Get


    out of Cleapolis and live a decent life!”Kingsley was touched by his sister’s attempt of sacrifice, but


    what came out of him wasughter. He returned the credit cards to Reene and replied gently, “Reene,


    don’t worry. We’ll be fine.”“How will that be possible? You killed Gordon! The Wynn Family won’t let you


    get away with it for sure! They’ll use every possible way to get you executed!” Reene’s eyes started to


    redden in her anxiety. “It’s alright, Kingsley. There’s no need to be afraid. Take this money and hide


    somewhere incognito. I’ll go to jail for you. I don’t think the Wynn Family will make it too hard for


    me.”Kingsley took a step forward and hugged her trembling body tofort herself. “Trust me, Reene.


    Everything will be fine.”Reene started to calm down in his wide and muscr embrace. “Really?


    Everything’s gonna be okay? Please… don’t be this reckless anymore…” While wiping the tears off her


    face, she continued, “Just let Serena do all the killing stuff…”“Got it.” Kingsley gently ran his finger


    through her fringe and tucked it behind her ears. “If things like this happen again, get hold of me


    immediately, okay?”A helpless Reene sighed. “What’s there for you to do even if I—”“How much more


    do you need?” he asked calmly. “I have money, so I can pay off the bnce.”She shook her head and


    forced a bitter smile. “The deficit is too much… The Jacob Family has withdrawn the fund and canceled


    all business cooperation, leaving the operation of Neveah Store toe to a halt. If I was to pay off the


    deficit, I’ll need at least a few million. But if I want to cover the loss in the future, I’ll probably need more


    than ten million in total…”Kingsley teased her with a grin. “Just ten million? I can pay for it!”“Don’t joke


    with me. Even the Wynn Family would have a hard time taking out so much money at once.” Reene


    sighed again. “I don’t wish to get ten million at once, but I just hope to get a breather and a chance to


    help Neveah Store get through this hardship gradually. Unfortunately, out of all the investment


    companies in Cleapolis I’ve gone to, none of them is willing to help me, especially the Humming Group.


    They even tore my project proposal in front of me and had the security kick me out…” Kingsley’s eyes


    instantly turned cold at once after hearing that. “Did they really kick you out physically?!”Reene wore a


    mournful look and answered, “Yep, but it’s just a slight kick. I’m alright.”“Well. Very well,” he said with a


    cold tone. “I’ll make the Humming Group pay that deficit, then.” He actually wanted to use his own


    money to pay it off, but now, he wanted them to pay the price!“Reene, why don’t you head back for a


    rest?” Kingsley tried to suppress his anger and said, “I’m going to the Humming Group now! Let’s see if


    they’d kick me out too!”Shock took over Reene’s body as she immediately shouted, “Kingsley, you’re


    letting rage take over your head again! We can’t afford to mess with the Humming Group!”Just as


    Kingsley was about to open his mouth and rebut her, nothing came out of it. He swallowed the words


    he wanted to say, for he knew that she was worried about him. Instead, he tried tofort her. “Okay,


    fine. I’ll listen to you. I won’t go to the Humming Group, but I’m going to find myrade.”Reene finally


    calmed down and nodded in agreement. “Okay. Head home early then.”“Of course.” As soon as she


    left, his face suddenly darkened; the next thing he knew, he was already driving straight to the


    Humming Group.The Humming Group was the biggest investmentpany of Cleapolis and its


    president—Charlie Dean—had been at the top of the Cleapolis’ Billionaires List for a few consecutive


    years; therefore, he was definitely filthy rich!There was a reason why he refused to fund Reene, but it


    was not because of their fear toward the Jacob Family; he had just simply looked down on Neveah


    Store. He had numerous projects under hispany that wereparably simr to Neveah Store,


    hence, he did not bother to earn that extra little money from Neveah.As soon as Kingsley arrived at the


    Humming Group, he took the elevator and went straight to the top floor of the building, striding toward


    the president’s office thereafter.“Hey! Hey! Who are you?” A female secretary in a luxury suit walked up


    to him and asked him rudely, “Which department are you from? This area is exclusively for the


    president!”A frowning Kingsley answered, “I’m representing the Neveah Store to meet Charlie


    Dean.”“Neveah Store?” She wore a contemptuous look after hearing his answer. “Why did they send


    another person here? The woman who came here previously was hit and kicked by the security; her


    shoes even fell off while running away! Are you guysing back for more of that?”As the secretary’s


    words sunk in, Kingsley’s eyes reddened instantly. With coldness radiating from his body, he asked,


    “Which woman, exactly?”“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s the goddess entrepreneur of Cleapolis—


    Reene Wynn!” She crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered. “But, too bad. There’s no way


    she can get more support anymore. She’spletely ruined this time round!”Kingsley clenched his fist


    and snapped, “Did you guys really hit her?!”“Yeah, we did! So what?” The secretary disyed an


    indifferent attitude. “She kept begging and asking our president to invest in the Neveah Store. Of


    course, the president was annoyed and called the security on her to kick her out. I can’t imagine how


    embarrassing it is for the president of a department store to get kicked in the butt and even fall under


    the re of everyone!”“F*ck off!” Kingsley pushed her away and strode into Charlie’s office right


    away.The female secretary staggered after being pushed away, but almost immediately, she trotted in


    her heels to chase after him. “Stop there! The president is in a meeting with a VIP! You can’t go in


    now!”As soon as she said that, she saw himnd a kick onto the ss door of the president’s office!


    Crack… The morous ss door broke into pieces all over the ground.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
