Chapter 256


    “No, no, that is not what I meant.” The man quickly waved his hand as he cleared up the


    misunderstanding. “It is just that I admire Dr. Nicholson for having such a beautifuldy by his


    side!”What the hell?! I’m definitely not tired of loving, so I wouldn’t dare get on his bad side!Kingsley


    and Alice walked into the banquet hall together with everyone’s envious gazes on them.Beau’s eyes


    immediately glinted lustfully when he saw Alice’s sensual figure.ncing at his watch, he murmured


    anxiously, “Sh*t! Why is time passing by so slowly?! I can’t f*cking wait anymore!”Zayne had already


    put the n in motion right at this moment. All he had to do now was wait for nightfall so that he could


    lure Kingsley away.However, Beau’s eyes were blinded with his desire for Alice and he kept staring at


    her body. He could only take nces at his watch every now and then while he prayed for the sky to


    turn dark faster.The dinner banquet officially began at 6.30PM.After everyone gathered in the hall, they


    started chatting among themselves as they had a taste of the unique red wine of Jadnd


    Heights.Alice had a wine ss in her hand that she slightly covered her red lips with. In a low voice,


    she whispered, “Kingsley, Beau has been staring at us…”The corners of Kingsley’s mouth raised when


    he heard that and he scoffed. “He is probably filling his head with beautiful thoughts now. I will let him


    enjoy himself a little longer.”“What do you think they will do to get you to leave, Kingsley?” Alice


    frowned and continued, “Why do I feel so uneasy?”He only calmly replied, “Doesn’t matter what they


    do; I will handle them ordingly. They are but mere ants to me. Nothing they do will change


    anything.”…Time went by in the blink of an eye as they conversed.The sky had gradually gotten darker,


    but the smell of alcohol in the hall had also intensified.The men and women around had all found


    someone they fancied, and the atmosphere had reached the apex of the night.This only further fueled


    Beau’s impatience!As he nced at his watch with every passing second, he started to pace back and


    forth, as though he was stepping on coal.“Just what is up with Zayne? Why is there still no update


    when it is already nighttime?”While Beau was frantically shuffling back and forth while holding his wine


    ss, Kingsley’s ringtone started going off.He had gotten a call from n.Kingsley was puzzled when


    he saw n’s caller ID shing across the screen of his phone.”Not knowing what n was calling him


    for, he epted the call. “Hello? Professor Gershwin?” “This is Zayne!”Much to Kingsley’s surprise, the


    voice that came from the other end of the call was Zayne’s.Zayne’s tone sounded flustered as he


    panted heavily. “Kingsley, Professor Gershwin went missing on Mount Crowler! I only found his phone!


    Hurry over and take a look!”Listening to his flimsy lie, Kingley smiled slightly and pretended to sound


    nervous. “Really? Oh my God! What should we do?!”“Pfft!” Augh identally slipped from Alice


    when she saw Kingsley’s act.However, knowing very well that Beau was still keeping an eye on them


    from somewhere nearby, she quickly stoppedughing and acted surprised as well. “What’s going on,


    Kingsley?”He hung up the phone then. “Zayne said that Professor Gershwin went missing, and he


    asked me to head over to Mount Crowler to join in on the search.”Alice immediately knew that this was


    their ploy to lure Kingsley away upon hearing that! “W-Will something really happen to Professor


    Gershwin?” she nervously asked in a meek voice.“No.” He shook his head. “Zayne doesn’t have the


    guts to kill someone himself, much less Wendell.”As Kingsley said that, he saw Beau walking toward


    them in brisk steps. He then warned Alice in a low voice, “Beau is here. Be careful not to make him


    suspect anything.”On the other hand, Beau felt like his heart was about to jump right out of his


    chest.He had waited the whole night just for Kingsley to receive the call from Zayne!Seeing that things


    were starting to move along ording to n, Beau excitedly scurried in Kingsley’s direction.“What


    should we do, Kingsley? I am so worried about Professor Gershwin!” Alice sneakily took a nce at


    Beau and eximed loudly, “We should head to Mount Crowler to see what is going on!”She had just


    finished speaking when Beau suddenly popped out of nowhere and put on a clueless act. “What’s


    wrong? What happened to Professor Gershwin?”Kingsley brought his gaze up and gave Beau the side-


    eye before he replied, “Professor Gershwin went missing on Mount Crowler. Alice and I are nning to


    look for him together.”“Gosh! But it is so dark outside! It is too dangerous for a woman like Dr. Kramer


    to go out there!”As though he was reading a passage from a textbook, Beau recited lines from the


    script he had prepared and memorized beforehand.“Also, Professor Gershwin might be resting


    somewhere in this hotel right now! How about this—you and Zayne head over to Mount Crowler to look


    for the professor, Mr. Nicholson, whereas Dr. Kramer and I will look around in this hotel? What do you


    say?”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
