I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 430

The next morning, Kingsley received a message from Elaine around 9.00AM. 'Why haven't you come to school, Kingsley? My dad is already in the office." Staring at the message, Kingsley found himself in a dilemma with no idea how to reply to the innocent girl, for he couldn't forgive her father for having gotten his parents killed. After all, not only was Elaine Courtney's best friend, but she had also stood up for Kingsley once in the past.

Hesitant and confused, Kingsley struggled to figure out how he should respond to Elaine. He then rubbed his temples, wishing Elaine was his enemy—just like how Caleb, Nicholas, and William were. That way, he wouldn't have much to worry about when dealing with Vincent. Upon knitting his eyebrows for a while, Kingsley replied to Elaine, 'I was planning to meet Professor Albright tomorrow during his new book launch."

'Yeah, that seems like a better idea. For a second, I was worried that you'd show up at my dad's office all of a sudden and end up getting chased out of there.' Elaine responded not long after that, whereas Kingsley put his phone down and started planning for his retaliation the next day.

Meanwhile, Courtney was sitting in her bedroom at Block Jasmine, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses while rapidly typing on her keyboard. Soon, Queenie opened the bedroom door and walked in with a smile. "Have you heard about the dance competition that the dance club is holding at the stadium, Court? Do you want to go there and watch it with me?"

"Nah, I'll pass." Courtney didn't even bother to turn around. "I'm not interested."

Queenie leaned in closer, trying to change Courtney's mind by tempting her. "Court, are you sure you don't want to come along? There are plenty of hot guys in the dance club. Are you sure you don't want to see them for yourself?"

"Hot guys?" Courtney was stunned for a while just as Kingsley's silhouette flashed across her mind. "Haha! Kingsley is the most handsome man there is in the world. I won't lay my eyes on anyone else besides him."

"Come on, Court. Come with me, won't you?" Queenie seized Courtney's arm and shook it, begging the latter. "Where is the fun in sitting in front of your computer all day? Come with me to the dance competition. We're just going to take a glimpse of it! We have class at 1.00PM anyway, so we could swing by the stadium and take a peek at what's going on before heading over to E.E. Block."

Tired of Queenie's begging, Courtney sighed and gave in. "Fine. Should we wait for Elaine to come back before going?"

"She has her class in the morning, so we should go first." Queenie was excited after hearing Courtney's agreement. "That's not a bad idea, though. I suppose she could get us something to eat after her class when she meets us at the stadium."
