Chapter 139


    The doctors and nurses were hurled into a pit of fear. Everyone knew what that money meant. If they


    lost it, their research woulde to a halt, and their director would probably me them. Jeffred could


    at least take almost half of the one million if they managed to get the donation. As the director of the


    hospital, he only made about ny grand a year, and that was including the yearly bonus. If they


    botched this up, Jeffred would ruin everyone here.While everyone was worrying about their fates,


    Michael came forward, looking hesitant. In the end, he said, “Kingsley, I’d really love it if we can keep


    this money, but we can’t have the Foxesughing at us, so…” He did not finish the sentence, but it was


    clear what he wanted.“Leave that to me,” Kingsley guaranteed. “They won’t beughing at you.”“R-


    Really?” Michael was overjoyed. If Kingsley’s going to talk to Helen, that’s going to annoy Matt to no


    end. Hah, let’s see him insult me now. The thought of saving a million and showing off to his inws


    delighted Michael. He was grinning from ear to ear. “Alright then.” He nodded. “Kingsley’s calling the


    shots here. Since he doesn’t want to give the money away, then we’ll be taking it back.”Jude and Beau


    were in disbelief. W-We lost a million just because this guy said so? Jude felt a stab of paining


    from his chest. It was as if an old wound had reopened, and he coughed up blood. Oh no! No! H-He


    punched me, and I got nothing out of this? No, wait. That’s not important. If the director finds out I was


    the one who botched up the donation, he’s going to ruin my whole future!Beau shared his sentiments.


    His face was as pale as a sheet and he could see his future turning into a pile of ashes, just like how


    the donation did. Kingsley did not pity the two of them. He looked around and announced, “What did I


    tell you? No donation means no donation! Any questions?”His voice boomed, as if he was a


    messenger of God who came to deliver a decree. Everyone shivered, looking at Kingsley in terror. To


    their shock, the young man whom they insulted earlier was now suffocating them, as if he was pushing


    an enormous weight down their shoulders.Beau, on the other hand, was shivering in fear. Compared to


    Kingsley, this man was nothing but a clown. Looks were all he had. Kingsley, on the other hand, built


    his courage up by going through brimstone and fire. Scum like Beau could never hold a candle to


    him.The female nurses and doctors were looking at Kingsley in a different light now. They ditched Beau


    and stared at Kingsley, fluttering their eyshes at him. If Kingsley so wanted to, he could marry any


    woman he wanted.Kingsley did not care about these women’s admiration, of course. He shot Beau with


    an icy re. “Call your director and tell him that the Larsons have rescinded their donation because of


    what you and Jude did.”“W-What? You want me to call the director?” Beau’s legs turned to jelly, and he


    staggered backward. Pitifully, he begged, “I-I’m sorry, M-Mr. Nicholson. Please, I don’t want to call the


    director. He’ll ruin my future if he finds out I botched this whole thing.”A sneer curled Kingsley’s lips. “If I


    remember correctly, you said your future is brighter than what I can ever achieve in my whole life, didn’t


    you?”“I… I…” Beau shed tears of regret. He gave himself a tight p and howled, “I was a fool! H-How


    could I have been so blind to how powerful you are? Please, Mr. Nicholson, I beg you. Have mercy on


    me!” A big man was covering his eyes and bawling his eyes out like a child right in front of everyone.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
