When the Wynns heard what Kingsley said, their faces turned ashen.
Both Henry and Clarence looked especially ghostly.
Clarence tried to put up a fight. "Reene did manage to win the bid for the Coliree Group project, and I'm willing to admit that much, but she can't even get out of bed right now. How is she going to helm the project?"
"That's right!" Alex stepped in as well. "What if Coliree Group decides to back out of the contract? You would've lost the bet then!"
Kingsley frowned. "What's the matter? Are you guys trying to renege on our deal?"
"This doesn't count!" Alex declared arrogantly. "Has Reene even signed the contract with Coliree Group yet? If she hasn't signed anything, then things could still change!"
Alex heard from the grapevine that Reene had been shot before the conference ended.
This meant that she had not had time to sign the contract with Coliree Group.
This gave him the courage to say what he said.
Kingsley stated impassively, "You don't have to worry about that. Even if the project has to be delayed for a year or two, Coliree Group will not back down from the deal with Neveah."
"Just because you say so? Who do you think you are anyway?!" Alex pointed at Kingsley and shouted, "Stop trying to put on your Peking act in front of me! I've had it with you, you shameless wannabe!"
Clarence voiced his displeasure as well. "No matter what, Neveah belongs to our family! What right do you have to butt in, you bum? Hurry up and get lost before I decide to settle the score with you for ruining my daughter's engagement!"
Meanwhile, Alice was on the verge of getting an aneurysm after hearing the way the Wynns were chewing out Keene and
Kingsley.
She yelled furiously, "I'm a doctor here in Hill Crest Hospital, and I'm warning you, stop disturbing the patient's rest!"
"Hahaha... A doctor?" Clarence glanced at her. "Well, I'm the chairman of Clark Corporation, a member of the Roseland Chamber of Commerce! Even your hospital director would not dare to speak to me like that!"
Alice gritted her teeth in anger, but she could not refute him.
She knew very well that he was right.
The hospital director, Jefferd Church, would be nothing but courteous toward the Wynns.
He certainly would not ask the security guards to chase them out.
"This is so unfair! Is there really no way to deal with these rotten people just because they have money?"
When Kingsley heard Alice's complaint, he smirked. "Alice, do you remember the guy who brought Mr. Johnson over this morning?
"Yeah, I think he said his name was... Leoric Schneider?" Alice frowned. "We should be trying to find a way to get rid of these heartless Wynns. Why are you bringing him up now?"
