Kyle would slap himself between sobs. "Oh, Will, I'm so sorry, I messed up. Can't you come up with a way to save me?"
"You deserved every damn thing that happened to you. You are beyond help; not even Hades can save you!" Will retorted angrily, but even as he did so, he was stumbling around in his head, trying to come up with something he could do.
A few seconds later, his eyes lit up, and he asked Kyle, "Who were you trying to confess to today?"
"To Courtney, but Mr. Nicholson stopped..."
The moment Kyle uttered those words, a realization dawned on him.
With tears and snot streaming down his cheeks, he crept over to Courtney and begged, "Oh, Courtney, you sweet, lovely Courtney! I know that a lowlife such as myself has no business setting his sights on an angel like yourself! I beg of you. Please say something nice for me. Just this once, could you ask him to let me off?"
Courtney gave him a cursory glance before dismissively saying, "I don't know who you are."
She turned her back on Kyle and wouldn’t even look at him.
Kyle hit rock bottom when he saw that Courtney would not even consider helping him. His voice cracked with desperation as he begged again, "Please! I beg you! Please forgive me..."
He reached out to try to grab Courtney's leg.
Kingsley's eyes flashed sternly as he called out coldly to Will, "I am going to count to five. In that time, you better get him out of here! If not, you'll be announcing Scarlet Heart Group's bankruptcy tomorrow!" Will was jolted by the impact of his words like an earthquake. It resonated in his ears and rumbled through his thoughts simultaneously. Without hesitating for a second, he jumped to his feet.
While doing this, he grabbed Kyle by the collar and dragged him toward the car like a dog. Everything happened in a very short amount of time.
Kyle had no time to react. His hands were still outstretched, and his voice was hoarse as he continued to sob and cry, but he could not stop. "Help me! Please, I ask you. Please just let me go..."
Will had already shoved Kyle into his Aston Martin before Kingsley had a chance to start his countdown.
A few moments later, there was a deafening screech as the car sped away.
Will was well aware of how powerful Kingsley was. He would never jeopardize the entire Scarlet Heart Group for anything like this. Therefore, as soon as Kingsley gave the word, he immediately decided to stop his pleas and instead focus on protecting the corporation.
With both brothers from the Maslows gone, all that remained was a group of young men from other wealthy families. They were usually arrogant and not shy about making their opinions known, but now they were too scared to speak. No one dared to break the silence as they huddled close, shaking with fear.
