Book For Read
Chapter 448
Chapter 448
Kingsley couldn't smile back at Elaine. Her father indirectly killed his parents, ruining his family when he was only five. I will take revenge. However, even though his nemesis' daughter was right in front of him, he felt no hatred for her. She was kind, innocent, and Courtney's good friend. If it weren't for her, Courtney might have had her life ruined today. He heaved a sigh and shook his head. "I won't be going with you for dinner."
"Why?" Courtney asked. "Do you have something to do?"
Kingsley mused over his answer. "I want to go through Professor Albright's book tonight." It was a lie as he had already finished reading the book. He just wanted to excuse himself from the dinner. He had conflicting emotions about Elaine.
Elaine smiled. "So, you're my father's fan, huh? Don't forget to come to his book launch tomorrow."
"Yeah." Kingsley nodded. "It's happening at Cloud Savvy Science and Technology Exhibition Hall, right?"
"Yes. It's a private exhibition hall, and the boss is my father's fan too," said Courtney. "I'm going tomorrow as well. Why don't we share a ride?"
"No, thanks. I have my own ride." He took some food into his plate. "I'll… consider it."
Elaine and Queenie exchanged a look of confusion.
Courtney stared at him. She knew he was wondering if he should bring Vincent down. Or, at the very least, how to bring him down without breaking Elaine's heart.
The meal ended unceremoniously. After the ladies went to class, Kingsley returned to his hotel room. He lay on the bed and considered his options for a long time. In the end, he decided he would come up with a plan to deal with Vincent after he went to the book launch.
The boss of Cloud Savvy Science and Technology Exhibition Hall was, as Elaine said, a fan of Vincent. He gave the professor the biggest hall he had just for the book launch. The event was starting soon.
A big crowd that consisted of reporters; booksellers; fans and worshippers of Vincent; and some of his best students had congregated in the hall. There were about a hundred guests, and even Calvin was there.
Calvin had undergone an emergency surgery the day before, but he still came to the book launch despite being in a wheelchair. He must show Vincent his support if he wanted to survive in Solaris University, and the book launch was Vincent's most important moment. If the launch was a success, then the professor would become a respected scholar.
After the book launch, Vincent's life would ascend to a new level. He would gain fame and fortune and ascend to the peak of academia. I can't be absent on a day as important as this. So, Calvin asked his junior to take him here despite his heavy injuries and the pain he felt. He had to help his mentor out.
Soon, everyone had arrived and taken their seats. In the first row, there were a few famous scholars whom Vincent had gone to great lengths to invite. With the famous scholars here, the book launch just
got a lot classier.
Elaine, Courtney, and Queenie were sitting in the row right behind these scholars. Queenie was staring at Vincent with worship and excitement, but Courtney was a little grim. She kept looking around as if she was looking for someone.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
