I Am the Ruler of All

Brian had been trying his luck for a while now, but Jennifer never did give him a chance. It was not until Beau dumped her did she agree to go out for dinner with him. The fact that Jennifer was giving him a chance excited him, and he gave Kingsley an arrogant look. "Fight me if you're a man. We're going one on one."

Kingsley looked at him. "You're challenging me to a fight?" This guy doesn't look like he lifts. I might kill him in one blow. "You know who Jude is, right? Jude Lynch?" Kingsley said, "I punched him once, and he almost died. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Brian looked horrified. "You're the guy who beat Mr. Lynch up?"

Jennifer looked excited. She pointed at Alice and screeched, "So you hired this guy to beat Mr. Lynch up? No wonder you got fired! It's because you crossed both Mr. Lynch and Dr. Church!" She laughed. "You're finished, Alice! Everyone knows Mr. Lynch is best friends with the director's son! There's no way you can come back to work now that you've crossed them!"

By then, the waiter had served all the food, so Alice said coldly, "Are you done yet, Jennifer? We need to have our dinner now. Leave."

"What? Embarrassed?" Jennifer looked all smug and pointed at the tea on the table. "Since we used to be colleagues, why don't you kneel before me, serve me tea, and tell everyone you're a slut? I'll do you a favor and get you a job at the hospital as a janitor. How about that?" Her grin was so huge that the makeup on her face was starting to fall. "This is for your own good, Alice. It's hard to get a job in this economy. At least a janitor is a stable job. So, what will you do?"

"Feel lucky we're not in a Western restaurant, or I will cut your artery open." Alice squinted. "You should know how good I am with a scalpel."

"Why you…" Jennifer froze up, and she had no comeback. Just then, she noticed someone walking past the restaurant, and her eyes shone. She quickly opened the windows and shouted, "Mr. Lynch! Here! I found the guy who beat you up! He's right here!"

The man outside was Jude himself. He had just gotten off work and was on his way home. He lived near the hospital and would pass by the restaurant every day. The man was trudging home, trying to find a way to get Kingsley to forgive them as per Jeffred's orders. But what should I do? Should I get him some gifts? Or should I give him money?

His train of thoughts was broken by Jennifer's shouts. He looked up and saw her waving at him from inside the restaurant. Jude did not want to entertain her at first, but when he saw Alice and Kingsley beside them, the man froze up. His mind raced, and he thought, This is the perfect chance to apologize! So, he went in through the front door.

While Jude made his way toward them, Jennifer said haughtily, "Your boyfriend can't run now! Mr. Lynch is going to call the cops on him!"
