Chapter 448


    Kingsley couldn''t smile back at ine. Her father indirectly killed his parents, ruining his family when he


    was only five. I will take revenge. However, even though his nemesis'' daughter was right in front of him,


    he felt no hatred for her. She was kind, innocent, and Courtney''s good friend. If it weren''t for her,


    Courtney might have had her life ruined today. He heaved a sigh and shook his head. "I won''t be going


    with you for dinner."


    "Why?" Courtney asked. "Do you have something to do?"


    Kingsley mused over his answer. "I want to go through Professor Albright''s book tonight." It was a lie as


    he had already finished reading the book. He just wanted to excuse himself from the dinner. He had


    conflicting emotions about ine.


    ine smiled. "So, you''re my father''s fan, huh? Don''t forget toe to his bookunch tomorrow."


    "Yeah." Kingsley nodded. "It''s happening at Cloud Savvy Science and Technology Exhibition Hall,


    right?"

    "Yes. It''s a private exhibition hall, and the boss is my father''s fan too," said Courtney. "I''m going


    tomorrow as well. Why don''t we share a ride?"


    "No, thanks. I have my own ride." He took some food into his te. "I''ll… consider it."


    ine and Queenie exchanged a look of confusion.


    Courtney stared at him. She knew he was wondering if he should bring Vincent down. Or, at the very


    least, how to bring him down without breaking ine''s heart.


    The meal ended unceremoniously. After thedies went to ss, Kingsley returned to his hotel room.


    Hey on the bed and considered his options for a long time. In the end, he decided he woulde up


    with a n to deal with Vincent after he went to the bookunch.


    The boss of Cloud Savvy Science and Technology Exhibition Hall was, as ine said, a fan of Vincent.


    He gave the professor the biggest hall he had just for the bookunch. The event was starting soon.


    A big crowd that consisted of reporters; booksellers; fans and worshippers of Vincent; and some of his


    best students had congregated in the hall. There were about a hundred guests, and even Calvin was


    there.


    Calvin had undergone an emergency surgery the day before, but he still came to the bookunch


    despite being in a wheelchair. He must show Vincent his support if he wanted to survive in Sris


    University, and the bookunch was Vincent''s most important moment. If theunch was a sess,


    then the professor would be a respected schr.


    After the bookunch, Vincent''s life would ascend to a new level. He would gain fame and fortune and


    ascend to the peak of academia. I can''t be absent on a day as important as this. So, Calvin asked his


    junior to take him here despite his heavy injuries and the pain he felt. He had to help his mentor out.


    Soon, everyone had arrived and taken their seats. In the first row, there were a few famous schrs


    whom Vincent had gone to great lengths to invite. With the famous schrs here, the bookunch just


    got a lot ssier.


    ine, Courtney, and Queenie were sitting in the row right behind these schrs. Queenie was staring


    at Vincent with worship and excitement, but Courtney was a little grim. She kept looking around as if


    she was looking for someone.
