Chapter 428

The corner of Kingsley's mouth twitched. "That's because I've been calling you by that name since childhood. Besides, Miss Albright is a few months older than me. So, it doesn't feel appropriate to call her by a pet name…"

Elaine understood Courtney well, so she knew that Courtney was just teasing Kingsley. Thus, she covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly before finally saying to him, "Okay, that's enough. I'll just take the loss. You can call me 'Elaine', Kingsley."

"What! Elaine, are you thinking about becoming my sister-in-law?"

"That's so annoying! Court, what nonsense are you spewing? I won't be your friend anymore!"

"Hahaha…"

The three of them joked around for a while. Afterward, Courtney invited Kingsley to dinner so that they could spend more time together. "Kingsley, do you want to join us for dinner tonight?"


"No." Kingsley shook his head. "I want to go back and start reading Professor Albright's book."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why are you suddenly showing interest in Professor Albright's research on information and intelligence?"

"I… I'm just curious." He grinned and lied, "It's just curiosity!"

"Is that so?" She stared at him intently with her almond-shaped eyes. "Don't tell me… Do you have a different purpose for coming to Solaris University and looking for Professor Albright?"

He couldn't help shivering in fear when he caught sight of her eyes that seemed to pierce deep into his very soul, exposing his secrets to the light!

"Uh… You should go ahead with your plans. I'm heading back to the hotel to read!" He held up the book and bid them goodbye. Then, he turned and fled as though he were escaping a dangerous situation.

He knew that he could not continue talking with Courtney any longer! Otherwise, his identity and purpose would all be exposed! If she learned the truth, then so would Reene and Victoria! Following that, except for Jessica, whose whereabouts were unknown, even Alice, Serena, and Yulia would know all about his secrets!

If that were to happen… When he led his soldiers to the Empire of the Setting Sun to capture the spies and track down the true culprit behind his parents' deaths… He would have six beautiful sisters beside him! They would nag him about his safety and urge him to come home… He did not dare to even imagine such a scenario!

Besides, it would be too dangerous for his sisters to be involved in these matters! If he were to encounter any danger, they would fearlessly throw themselves in front of trouble just to protect him! Even if they lost their lives in the process!
The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
