Chapter 426
Eric and Zeke remained wailing, howling, and begging for mercy!
Kingsley frowned at the incessant sounds of their agonized wails and opened his mouth to speak.
However, before he could make his annoyance known, his phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at his phone and saw that it was a message from Elaine.
When they separated at the bottom of Block Jasmine last night, they exchanged contact information with each other so that Elaine could easily inform him whether Vincent was willing to meet him.
So, he couldn't help feeling excited upon seeing that the text was from her. But he also felt nervous for some inexplicable reason. That was because there was a high possibility that Vincent might just be the head of The Anonymous! Elaine's message was directly related to whether he would be successful!
He opened the message, and a row of words appeared in front of him. 'I'm sorry, Courtney's little brother. My father says that he is very busy. He will be launching a new book the day after tomorrow, so he does not have the time to meet with you in private.'
Although Kingsley had prepared himself for rejection, he couldn't stop the wave of disappointment rising in his heart when he read the message. It would seem that his only option was to visit Vincent at the office when he was working.
In his disappointment, Eric and Zeke's wailing sounded incredibly grating to his ears! He felt his annoyance surging to new heights!
Therefore, he lost his patience, especially when these people were nothing but vermin in his eyes as he rose to his feet and coldly instructed Leoric, "Drag them away. I have other matters to deal with."
"Yes! Boss Nicholson!" Leoric beckoned to his subordinates to swiftly take Eric and Zeke away. At this point, those two were squealing like pigs that were about to be slaughtered. He also respectfully informed Kingsley, "Boss Nicholson, I will remain in Diosna City for a while. I will not return to Cleapolis until the Sunshine Casino has stabilized completely. If you need me for anything, please just give me a call. I promise I will come to your aid as soon as possible!"
Kingsley nodded. "Okay. Go ahead."
After Leoric departed, he turned to Lev and ordered, "Clean up the mess here. More importantly, issue a gag order to all who were present today!"
"Yes!" Lev stood at attention and saluted. "Please rest assured! Not a word about today will spread elsewhere!"
The guests surrounding them nodded frantically like chickens pecking at rice when they heard their exchange. "Yes, that's right! We won't breathe a word about what happened here today!"
They had been frightened out of their wits after seeing what happened to Eric and Zeke today! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
How could any of them dare to speak carelessly about the incident?
Once Kingsley had arranged everything perfectly, he finally walked toward the VIP box seats.
At this moment, all three generations of the Hewitt Family were sitting inside the private room and feeling extremely nervous. Eric and Zeke's wailing were so loud that even they could hear the wails clearly from inside the private room.
When Kingsley opened the door and walked into the room, Walter, Loretta, and Albi Hewitt's family of four immediately stood up at the same time to greet him.
"Mr. Hewitt, Mrs. Hewitt, please have a seat." Kingsley stepped forward. It was not until everybody had returned to their seats that he finally continued, "Mrs. Hewitt, I'm very sorry for disrupting your birthday celebration today."
"It's no trouble at all…" Loretta replied with a genial smile. "My birthday celebration ended after I cut the cake. The rest of the banquet was just a typical business banquet. Otherwise, why do you think those people would come and celebrate the birthday of an old woman like me? They are all here for the business banquet held during the later part of the day."
Kingsley couldn't help sighing in amazement upon hearing Loretta's remarks. She was certainly not an ordinary lady to have such a clear grasp of the situation.
At this moment, Walter chimed in, "Loretta is right. We should actually be thanking you instead. The fact that so many influential figures came to celebrate the birthday celebration today has also strengthened the prestige of the Hewitt Family!"
Beside them, Albi spoke to Kingsley with an excited expression on his face, "Mr. Nicholson, what is your true identity? How did you manage to call so many…"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Before Albi could finish his sentence, Walter coughed loudly to interrupt his son mid-sentence. "Albi! Do I still need to teach you about what's appropriate to ask and what's inappropriate to ask?"
