Upon hearing this, Reene hurriedly said, “Alice, my injuries have almost healed. Don’t put your career
on hold for my sake!”
Kingsley’s attitude did a one-eighty as well. “That’s right, Alice. Reene will be discharged in a couple of
days with Cecilia accompanying her. It’ll be too bad if you miss this opportunity! How about this? I’ll tell
Jeffred that I’m gonna attend the forum with you!” It was true that he didn’t want to get pestered by
those old pedants, but he was willing to overlook these details for the sake of Alice’s future. Above all
else, Alice had just mentioned that the medical forum would be held at a holiday resort for three days
this time! This meant he would finally have the opportunity to be alone with her for their relationship to
grow! It’s probably not too much for me to ask for a deluxe king room at the holiday resort in the name
of Dr. Nicholson, I guess…
At the thought of this, Kingsley said with a chuckle, “It’s settled then, Alice!” Then, he glanced at his
watch and mumbled, “They probably have heard of it by this hour…”
Both Reene and Alice looked puzzled. “Kingsley, what are you talking about? Heard of what?”
Instead of answering them, Kingsley asked, “Reene, can you move about now?”

an hour yesterday.”
Kingsley’s lips curled into a smile. “Come on, Reene. Let me drive you somewhere to show you
something interesting.”
Alice immediately said, “Don’t get up to any mischief, Kingsley. Reene’s injuries have just healed. She’s
yet to be able to exercise vigorously or move about for a long time.”
“Don’t worry, Alice. It’s just about ten minutes from here by car.” Kingsley picked up a collapsible
wheelchair nearby. “I’ll just keep Reene from walking, okay?”
Reene slowly sat down in her wheelchair before covering her lap with a quilt. She asked in puzzlement,
“What is this about, exactly? You sound so mysterious…”
“You’ll know what it is once we’re there. You’re gonna regret it if you don’t get to see it!”
Upon hearing his words, Alice smiled in resignation. “Fine, just go, you two. I’ll go tell Director Church
that you’ve agreed to attend the medical forum.”
While Kingsley was wheeling Reene to the parking lot, the Wynns were busy working their *sses off.
They were almost shattered by the unending stream of grievous news. Alex was crippled for life, and
Clark Corporation was kicked out of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce. One large corporation after
another imposed sanctions against the company. Their past collaborative partners turned against them;
not only that, but they even twisted the knife in the wound!
Just when Henry, Clarence, and others were worried to death, a piece of good news suddenly came:
Ares, the God of War, was found! After going through the surveillance footage, they finally found Ares
under a bridge!
Henry started as if in a state of terminal lucidity. He said excitedly, “Hurry up and gather everyone
available in the family to go there and apologize to Ares together!”
A while later, a bizarre scene appeared under an overpass at Cleapolis’ old town area. A dozen
formally dressed men and women stood respectfully near the overpass with looks of solemnness and
awe on their faces.
At the sight of the scene, the people around them stopped to look on.
“What’s going on here? Are they filming a movie or something?”
“No way! Look at the old man leading them. He’s got to be over 80; he can hardly keep his feet…”

Just when everyone was puzzled as to what was going on, Henry bent his knees and knelt on the hot
concrete floor scorched by the sun. The next instant, the other members of the Wynn Family followed
suit. They were all dressed in expensive designer suits, so the scene of them kneeling down all at once
looked somewhat impressive.
“Hiss… What’s going on here?”
“Why do they kneel down together?”
At the sight of this, the onlookers gasped in puzzlement.
Meanwhile, a black SUV stopped at the side of a road nearby. The SUV was Alice’s; Kingsley’s car had
been sent to the mechanics for repairs, so he had no choice but to drive her car for the time being.
Kingsley was convulsed with laughter inside the car while pointing at the kneeling members of the
Wynn Family. “Haha… Look, Reene! Henry is the first to kneel down! Haha…”
Reene exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa, Uncle Clarence, Aunt Sophia, Dad, Mom, Uncle Sean, and
Aunt Sally… Why are they all here? Who are they kneeling to?”
“Reene, you’ll know that very soon… This is so damn funny…” Kingsley wiped away his tears of
amusement. “Reene, I dare say you’re gonna laugh yourself to tears when you see later who they’re
kneeling to! Haha…”
