I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 449

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.

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.
