Chapter 106


    “Get back here right now! Do you know…”Asher’s mind nked out on the rest of hismander’s


    rant.All he could hear was a loud buzzing noise as if someone were drilling right next to his ears.He


    slowly turned to stare at Kingsley with wide eyes. “The call you made just now… You were really calling


    the regionalmand…”During the call, Kingsley had said to punish Asher for disrespecting the


    General.Everyone had thought he was just bluffing.No one thought it could really happen.Now, Asher


    was actually being punished.Asher’s knees wobbled, and he stumbled back to his seat. Dejection


    painted his face as he said, “Kingsley, you should have told us earlier that you are well-connected…”“I


    did, but none of you believed me.” Kingsley shrugged. “Didn’t you also say the only people I know in


    the regionalmand are the kitchen hands?”Asher was in tears.He red at Zachary who was still


    sprawled out on the floor.If it had not been for his incendiary statements, Asher would not be in such


    dire straits!Kingsley nced at his watch.“toon Leader Larson, if I remember correctly, you must


    report back to yourpany within two hours of notice of any punishment. Is that not so? If you’rete,


    things will be worse for you.”Hearing that made Asher freeze as if he had just been struck by


    lightning.Without dy, he immediately grabbed his phone and charged out of the house.Although


    Megan’s son had just fled the house in a hurry, she was not worried for him at all. Instead, she was


    grinning like the cat that ate the canary.So, what if her son was being punished? Was that not a perfect


    example of how powerful her future son-inw was?Her joy could be seen in every wrinkle on her


    face.“Kingsley, why don’t you stay for dinner?” she asked in a fawning manner. “No, no! You should


    stay the night! I’ll have the servants leave an extra nket in Cecilia’s room.”“No, no, no,” she


    continued with a shake of her head. “You should share the nket instead. It will be warmer!”“Yes, you


    should stay,” Michael said, chiming in. “Especially since we will be going to the Fox Family’s party


    together. It will save you the hassle of going back and forth.”“Ah…” Kingsley awkwardly muttered. “It’s


    fine. I will be staying with Reene tonight.”“Why? It is not like we do not have the space for you!”Megan


    then walked over to Cecilia, nudged her, and whispered to her, “What are you doing? Speak up!”That


    made Cecilia blush hard as she hesitantly said to Kingsley, “Why don’t you stay the night?” Well, thereProperty ? N?velDrama.Org.


    was no way Kingsley could refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman. Hence, he nodded in assent.


    “Just one night…”“Yes! This is great!”Meganughed so hard that her teeth gleamed in the light.Just


    then, she noticed Zachary who was spacing out while still kneeling on the floor.“Hey!” she spat out at


    him. “What made you think you deserved my daughter? Get out now!”That snapped Zachary back to


    his senses. His face was still pale from terror as he scrambled to his feet and dashed out of the


    door.That evening…Megan cooked up a feast while Michael brought out a bottle of alcohol he had


    been keeping safe in his collection for over a dozen years.With how passionate the Larsons were


    being, Kingsley had to down a few shots to show his appreciation for his hosts.After all, even Cecilia


    made an exception and drank a ss of red wine that night.Apanied by good wine and good food,


    the meal soon ended.Soon afterward, Megan began grumbling about a headache and dragged the


    tipsy Michael back to their room.The only people left in the living room now were Kingsley and


    Cecilia.Due to the alcohol, there was a faint red flush on her beautiful face which made her look


    exceptionally alluring.Intoxicated by her seductive eyes, he gulped. He then helped her to her feet.


    “You’ve had too much to drink. Let us go back to your room.”The moment they entered Cecilia’s room,


    he smelled an enticing fragrance in the air.It was not the innocent and refreshing scent that lingered in


    Paige’s room, nor was it the mature and refined perfume he smelled in Reene’s car.The scent in


    Cecilia’s room was something in between. The impression it left on him was delicate but


    seductive.“Kingsley…”Cecilia’s inhibitions were dashed away by the dim lights of the room and her


    inebriated state.She wrapped her arms around his neck as her red lips parted and rasped out,


    “Honestly, I really like you. If only you can be my actual boyfriend…”Kingsley carefully ced her down


    on the bed. “Once everything is over, I…”He drifted off midway through his sentence.Who knew what


    would have happened by the time he avenged his parents and rid the country of foreign spies?Would it


    be too early to promise her the future?“Kingsley, I feel so warm…”Her sweet voice softly echoed in the


    room, making him snap back to reality.It was only then that he realized there was something off about


    her.Her face was bright red while her eyes dazedly gazed up at him. Her breath burned where it


    brushed across his skin. This was not the effect of mere alcohol.During the time he spent spacing out,


    she had entwined herself around him…
