I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 227

Chapter 227
Now that Kingsley no longer had to worry about Reene, he was able to focus fully on attending the Medical Forum at Jadeland Heights with Alice.
The next morning, after loading two large suitcases into the trunk, he massaged his temples and said, “Alice, we’ll only be there for three days. Why did you pack so much?”
“This shows how little you know. All women pack like that!” Alice chuckled. “You’ll understand when you get a wife!”
“I’m perfectly happy with seven sisters. Why would I look for a wife?”
Kingsley chuckled playfully and slammed the trunk shut. “Let’s go, Alice. Jadeland Heights is in Worchester County which is nearly a hundred miles away. We should get going.”
After bidding goodbye to Reene who stood at the door to see them off, the two of them began making their way to Jadeland Heights.
Jadeland Heights was a resort area that specialized in hosting all manner of conferences, forums, and celebratory events.
The entire resort area was built along Mount Crowler which ensured that it remained picturesque throughout the year.
Within the resort area, there was a four-star hotel and all manner of entertainment facilities.
All of the corporations and organizations headquartered in the nearby cities would often host their events here.
After approximately one and a half hours of driving, Kingsley and Alice arrived at Jadeland Heights.
Alice was a little carsick, so Kingsley suggested out of concern, “Alice, you should get down first. I’ll go and pack the car, and then I’ll come and look for you.”

“Okay.”
Alice did feel rather uncomfortable thanks to her carsickness, so she got out in front of the hotel.
After taking a few deep breaths of the fresh, crisp air, she began to feel a lot better.
It was only then that she noticed the sight in front of her. The magnificent Mount Crawler rose high up into the sky right before her eyes!
Alice was so amazed by the breathtaking view in front of her that she exclaimed aloud, “Wow. It’s so beautiful here…”
As soon as she said those words, she heard a sleazy voice behind her. “It’s beautiful indeed, but not as beautiful as you…”
Alice’s brows creased slightly as she turned around to see a smarmy-looking man waving at her.
“Seth Zappa?”
She recognized the man in front of her. He was a classmate from college, Seth Zappa.
While they were classmates, they had barely spoken to each other.
Alice had a reserved and intimidating personality that kept people at arm’s length. She was not fond of socializing and had very few friends.
Throughout her college years, she focused on her studies and rarely interacted with her classmates.
Therefore, she did not have much of a reaction when she saw Seth. She merely nodded and said, “It’s been a while.”
However, Seth’s expression was full of excitement.
“Alice, we’ve finally reunited! Did you know that I liked you when we were back in college? I just never had the guts to confess.”
His eyes roamed all over Alice’s body as he said, “It’s not the same now. I’m a successful man with an established career, so I can finally approach you at last!”
Alice frowned. “We’re just classmates, nothing more.”
One look and she could deduce the salacious thoughts that were running through his head right now.
If he truly wanted to date her, why did he not show up in the last three or four years since their graduation?
His attempts at smooth-talking were merely a cover. He probably just wanted to get into bed with her!
Alice was right, unsurprisingly.
Earlier on, Seth was about to check into the hotel when he spotted a woman with a voluptuous figure.
As he feasted his eyes greedily on her curves and long, slender legs, he felt his blood rushing down to his abdomen.
