Chapter 237
Finally, peace returned to the hall. Kingsley picked up the two room cards from the receptionist’s desk and turned to Alice.
“Let’s go, Alice. Let us put our bags away in our rooms.”
Blake stepped forward with a smile. “Let me help you with your bags, Dr. Nicholson.”
“It’s fine. Have someone inform me when the event is about to start.” Kingsley glanced at the keys in his hand. “I am in room 603 while Alice is in 604.”
“Yes, of course. Do not worry,” Blake said, nodding in a fawning manner. “I will personally come and get you.”
Kingsley nodded in response before leading Alice over to the elevators.
Wherever Alice went, the people parted for her.
They would not fool around.
After all, Kingsley just said that he destroyed Seth’s future because he laid a hand on Alice.
Seth’s tormented screams were still ringing in their ears. None of them were foolish enough to touch Alice.
When the two entered the elevator, everyone in the hall let out a sigh of relief before continuing with their business.
Just then, two men came running over, panting heavily.
“Are we late?” one of them said.
“I don’t think so,” said the other in between pants. “Everyone is still lining up.”
As soon as they were done speaking, they bent over, trying to catch their breath.
Alan hurried over when he saw them. “Why are you so late?” he whispered.
The two men were Zayne and Beau.
Scott had provided Hill Crest Hospital with five entries for the event.
The doctors chosen were Kingsley, Alice, Alan, Zayne, and Beau.
Zayne was chosen because he was Jeffred’s son.
In fact, Jeffred was on his knees begging Alice for permission to have Zayne attend the forum.
As for Beau, he was recommended by Zayne.
At Hill Crest Hospital, Zayne, Jude, and Beau were the best of friends.
As soon as Beau asked for it, Zayne begged Jeffred to get an invitation for him as well.
“We are not late, right?” Beau finally said, having recovered from his dash.
“Not really.” Alan frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to come earlier? Why are you almost late?”
“Oh, whatever,” Zayne said, waving his hand impatiently. “We are not late, are we?”
He then looked around before unhappily asking, “Where are Kingsley and Alice? Are they not here yet?”
“They were here early. In fact, they are already in their rooms.”
Hearing that, Zayne and Beau exchanged meaningful looks with each other.
The two of them were late because they had spent the night binge-drinking with two girls. That was why they woke up so late.
When they were drinking last night, Zayne had sworn that he would seize this chance to help Beau get his hands on Alice.
Beau had been so happy about it that he kept toasting Zayne. Soon, they were both drunk.
Zayne did not tell Beau his entire plan, though.
He had planned to use the Circle’s power to force Kingsley to stay in this place forever!
After all, Kingsley was the reason Jeffred had given him a beating before grounding him for a few days.
Zayne had blamed it all on Kingsley.
Thus, he had a cruel scheme that would ensure Kingsley wound up dead this time, with his corpse hidden deep in the mountains.
If Beau knew what Zayne was planning, he would surely tell Zayne to come up with another plan.
He was there when Baron and a bunch of burly men waited by the hospital entrance for Kingsley.
That encounter told him just how much sway Kingsley had over the Circle.
Unfortunately, Zayne was so afraid of mishaps that he did not tell Beau about his plans.
Meanwhile, Beau was ignorant of the upcoming disaster heading his way.
He was still happily thinking about his future plans.
With his amazing skills at taming women, Alice would definitely be awed by his prowess as long as he had sex with her.
Not only could he have a pretty wife then, but he would also be Kingsley’s brother-in-law!
That meant he could stomp on Kingsley as revenge for the humiliation he had suffered.
At that thought, Beau suppressed the eagerness brimming in him to casually ask, “Where are their rooms, Professor Gershwin?”
As Alan knew just what kind of lecherous thoughts Beau harbored in his mind, he replied, “Mr. Nicholson said he was staying in 603 while Dr. Kramer had room 604.”
“I see.”
Beau nodded as a lustful look flashed in his eyes.
Once Zayne lured Kingsley away that night, he would sneak into Alice’s room and have his way with her!
