Chapter 170
Matt exploded in anger, “Don’t get me started! I ran into this arrogant little…”
He faltered halfway through his sentence once he saw Michael happily walking over to Kingsley and greeting him pleasantly, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, you’re here!”
“Son… in-law?” Matt’s eyes widened incredulously. “This young man is your son-in-law?”
“Yeah!” Michael was puzzled by Matt’s ashen face. “What’s wrong, Matt? Do you guys know each other?”
“That’s an understatement!”
Matt spat out angrily before turning around and storming back into Helen’s room.
His expression was dark and vicious.
Now that he knew Kingsley was Michael’s son-in-law, a new plan began to formulate in his mind.
There was no need for him to rush!
He wanted to kill two birds with one stone—to humiliate Michael, and to trample Kingsley beneath his feet!

Michael glanced at Matt in confusion, but he did not dwell on it. Instead, he turned to Kingsley and asked courteously, “Kingsley, didn’t you say that you’d help us make a good showing in front of the Foxes? My mother-in-law has been giving me the third degree ever since I withdrew my donation to the hospital! If it’s alright with you, could you possibly take the time to come and help us?”
His words reminded Kingsley of the earlier incident.
In order to avenge Alice, he had asked Michael to withdraw his donation to Hill Crest Hospital, and in return, he promised to help Michael make a good showing in front of Helen.
Just then, Alice peeked out from behind Kingsley and said with a smile, “Kingsley, is this the rich… father-in-law that you mentioned?”
She nudged Kingsley. “You can go over now. I’ll stay here with Reene, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Alright.” Kingsley nodded. “Mr. Johnson’s medical tests would probably still take a while. I can spare some time to visit Old Mrs. Fox now.”
He headed for the hospital room next to them.
“Wait a minute!” Alice pulled him back and chided, “This is your first time meeting your girlfriend’s grandma. Are you just going in empty-handed?”
“Yeah?”
“Go down and buy something!” Alice poked his forehead. “There’s a fruit shop and a flower shop downstairs. Get something that’s packaged nicely, or else the family might think that you don’t know proper etiquette!”
Kingsley nodded. “You make a good point, Alice.”
Even though he was only pretending to be Cecilia’s boyfriend, it would still reflect badly on Cecelia if he did not show the proper amount of respect for Helen.
Therefore, Kingsley went down to the fruit shop right outside the hospital entrance and got a fruit basket.
As he came out of the fruit shop, he spotted Leoric and his men.
“Mr. Nicholson, we stuffed the Wynns into an express bus that’s headed for the countryside, and we warned the driver to not let them off before reaching their destination!”
Leoric took out a business card and added with a laugh, “See, I even got the driver’s business card. I’m sure he doesn’t have the guts to stop and let them off!”
“Alright. You did a good job.” Kingsley patted him on the back. “When I run into Victoria, I’ll let her know to commend you for it.”
“Thank you, Mr. Nicholson!” Leoric effused. “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Nicholson, then I’ll be heading back with my men. We just reclaimed our turf in the urban village, so there are a lot of things we need to settle.”
