Chapter 145
Jennifer rolled her eyes. “Scared, are you? Too late for regrets, Alice!”
Too late for regrets? Jude shivered in fear. That was the same thing Kingsley said before he rescinded the donation. Just hearing the same words being said filled Jude’s heart with fear.
Jennifer was oblivious to his feelings and even said smugly, “This is the guy who hurt you, right? Dr. Malkovich and I will avenge you!”
Brian nodded. “Yeah! There’s no way he can beat up all three of us by himself!”
Jennifer and Brian were being arrogant, but Jude? Not so much. He was going to apologize to Alice and pay for Kingsley’s lunch in an attempt to get his forgiveness, but Jennifer and Brian were already making things worse for him before he could do anything.
A cruel smile curled Kingsley’s lips. “I remember you telling Dr. Kramer to kneel and serve you tea, right?”
“Yeah.” Jennifer crossed her arms. “I’ll have that b*tch kneel before me while I humiliate her.”
If looks could kill, Kingsley would have already murdered Jennifer ten times through. “Last chance. Take that back right now or I will cut your tongue off.”
Jennifer scoffed. “You can’t scare me, loser! Mr. Lynch is going to put you in your place.” She then turned to Alice and mocked, “Why are you with this idiot, Alice? Violence doesn’t work in this day and age. One call to the cops, and it’s off to jail for you two.”
Alice paled. If she was alone, she would never have entertained this wench, but when Kingsley was involved, she would do anything. She slowly stood up. “Fine. I’ll make the tea for—”
Before she could finish, Kingsley said, “Alice, sit down.”
Alice froze up, and her jaw dropped slightly. She had no idea what to say to that. He has already recognized me?
“Did you just call her Alice?” Jennifer pouted. “You’re on a first name basis with her now?”
At the same time, Kingsley pointed at Jude. “You! Kneel and serve me tea!”
Jennifer and Brian were flabbergasted, and then the woman clutched her stomach as she roared in laughter. “Did you just tell Mr. Lynch to kneel, you loser? Don’t you know who he is? Mr. Lynch is—”
However, she stopped before she could finish, and her smirk froze.
Jude knelt right away, then took the teapot and filled Kingsley’s cup up respectfully.
“Holy sh*t!” Brian rubbed his eyes as hard as he could. He thought he was seeing things. Jude and Zayne were the biggest troublemakers in the hospital, and Jude respected nobody but Jeffred. That arrogant prick actually knelt before this loser in public? Am I hallucinating?
The customers were in shock as well.
“What’s going on? Why is that old man kneeling to that kid?”
“That guy’s probably a bigshot. See that hot lady in front of him? No way he could have snagged her if he was a nobody.”
There were some customers who lived nearby as well, and they knew Jude. Their jaws dropped.
“Holy sh*t. That’s Mr. Lynch, right? From Hill Crest? He’s one arrogant prick, so why is he kneeling?”
“He probably went too far with his ego and crossed someone he shouldn’t have.”
Jennifer heard the discussion, and her ears buzzed. “M-Mr. Lynch, what are you doing?”
Jude ignored her and just kept staring at Kingsley as he pleaded for his forgiveness. “M-Mr. Nicholson, I’ve done as you said. Please forgive me.”
Jennifer and Brian were in shock and confusion. Hey, isn’t he the victim here? So why is he begging for forgiveness from the guy who did this to him? What the hell is going on here?
