Chapter 107
A trace of coldness flashed across Kingsley's face as Michael and Megan were really omnipotent!
They were willing to poison their own daughter!
He placed his two fingers on Cecilia's lower abdomen, middle abdomen, the area below her navel, and several acupuncture points in sequence before he applied light and heavy force.
After over ten seconds, the blush on her face gradually faded, and her breathing began to stabilize. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
She then fell sound asleep a short moment later...
Kingsley felt pity for her as he looked at her sleeping face.
He gently covered her with the quilt before falling asleep on the chaise longue beside the bed.
He wasn't that horny enough to take on a comatose girl!
Otherwise, how would he differ from that nasty Caleb?!
In fact, if it wasn't for Megan, who poisoned Cecilia, Kingsley would not be able to handle such a beautiful woman.
However, at this moment, he witnessed the poor girl in front of him being used as a tool by her mother, and there was only endless pity in his heart.
Thinking back, if he really did something to Cecilia, who was delirious, he wouldn’t be able to explain it
to Reene!
Megan thought she was clever, but she was mistaken. She had made this beautiful spring night uneventful.
The next morning, Cecilia woke up in a daze and saw Kingsley sitting next to her.
"Hey!"
She let out a soft cry and quickly lifted the quilt to look at her clothes underneath.
Kingsley laughed and questioned, "Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of the others when they're in danger?"
"No…"
Her face turned cherry-red, and she had a slightly disappointed expression on her face.
The two of them then went downstairs to the living room. When Megan saw them, she stepped forward quickly with a smile and whispered to Cecilia, "What do you think about it? Mom was brilliant!"
"Think about what?" Cecilia asked in confusion.
"Didn’t you two… do that?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" She blushed before saying, "He slept in the chaise longue all night,
and nothing happened to us!"
"That shouldn’t be the case…" Megan muttered in dubiety, "I obviously put the thing in the wine…"
"Mom, what did you say? What did you put in the wine?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I was saying that I have put the medicinal materials I bought into the medicinal wine your dad made." Megan quickly made up an excuse.
After Cecilia went to wash up, Kingsley approached Megan and told her in a light tone, "I'm warning you. Don’t you dare do any tricks using medicinal wine in the future!"
As she heard this, her expression froze. She knew that he had seen through her. She felt embarrassed for a while, but immediately smiled cheekily. "I'm just impatient. I promise I won't do it again!"
"You better not," he responded coldly.
Hearing his icy voice, Megan shuddered involuntarily and quickly agreed, "No, I won't do it again…"
After breakfast, the four of them headed to Marley Hotel by car.
At the Marley Hotel, there was a high-end restaurant specializing in catering large-scale banquets.
The Fox Family banquet was held here.
Currently, at the banquet hall with an area of over 1000 square meters, there were many men and women in gorgeous clothing. Everyone was toasting and chatting happily.
The host, Matt Fox, hadn’t arrived yet.
Most of the people present were the direct descendants of the second-class families in Cleapolis.
Everyone was gathering in twos and threes. Some were discussing cooperation plans whereas some were showing off.
Among all the guests, the Wynns stood out the most.
Many people were gathered around Henry, Clarence, and others from the Wynns to flatter them with a smile. This was not because of the strength of the Wynns, but of the presence of Mia's fiancé, Ethan Windsor.
The Windsor Family was an entity that could rank among the first-class families.
Therefore, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to network with them.
"Old Master Henry, with Ethan in the Wynns, it's estimated that you will be able to rank among the first- class families in the near future!"
"Oh, Clarence! I really envy you! Why can't I give birth to a daughter as outstanding as Mia?"
"Hahaha! Old Master Henry, don’t forget about your old friends when your family becomes successful in the future!"
The flattering continued, and Henry and Clarence were so dizzy from everyone's compliments and
touts. They laughed until their faces were cramped.
"Hahaha! Don’t say that!" Henry pretended to be modest. "How can our Wynn Family compare to the Larsons? Their son-in-law is Shane Carter!" Clarence hurriedly added.
"Dad, don’t mention Shane. Haven't you heard that Miss Larson has broken off their engagement? Fortunately, he is not here yet. Otherwise, you will offend people!"
"What? Shane has divorced?" Henry asked as he pretended to be surprised.
"Then, won't this make Ethan the only young master of the first-class family now? Hahaha…"
As soon as he finished his words, everyone was secretly scolding him, "Henry is such a pretender!"
Everyone cursed him in their hearts, but they had to flatter him with claps and praise.
At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to apply for a job at Coliree Group soon, Mr. Windsor"
Ethan nodded proudly. "You're right. I've submitted my resume. If everything goes well, I will be able to get the job smoothly before the bidding conference that is held the day after tomorrow!"
When everyone heard this, their faces were full of envy!
They wondered whether the Wynns had offered prayers to God for them to be able to find such a competent son-in-law!
The background of the Windsor Family, coupled with his job position in the Coliree Group, meant he was almost comparable to Young Master Jay!
Henry and Clarence held their chins high and they were extremely overjoyed! On the other hand, Elijah and Ysabel were watching from the side with green eyes.
Although they were a part of the Wynns, the treatment they received was completely different!
The Wynns were very successful, but these two could only stand by and stare!
Ysabel glared at Reene, who was next to her, and scolded her. "D*mn! We are all women. Why are you raising a man when the other found a young master?!"
"I'm warning you, you better dump that unlucky orphan as soon as possible! As a young girl, are you not ashamed to live under the same roof with a man?"
"Mom…" When Reene was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion at the ballroom entrance.
Someone shouted gloatingly, "Hey! Isn't this Mr. Larson? I thought you weren’t coming!"
Michael laughed as he walked in. "How could I not come when President Fox personally invited me?"
The arrival of the Larsons had attracted the attention of all the guests present.
Everyone was curious about how he would deal with the cancellation of the engagement by the Carters since he was sensitive about his reputation.
Henry greeted Michael with a grin and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Larson!"
Michael smiled in response. "You are still looking robust as usual, Mr. Wynn!"
"I have to be!" Henry laughed loudly before saying, "My granddaughter is about to get married to Ethan! Thus, I have to be robust in order to enjoy living together with my four generations!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone around them perked their ears and anticipated the beef between them.
Unexpectedly, Henry added salt to Michael's wound!
Right then, Clarence stretched his neck to have a look around. Seeing that Henry was only accompanied by Megan, Clarence questioned with curiosity. "Why didn’t Miss Larson come? Is she feeling devastated because of the broken engagement?"
"My daughter and son-in-law are parking the car in the basement!" Megan said proudly while holding Michael's arm. "Don’t worry, the Larsons won't let you down!"
Son-in-law?
The guests looked at each other in astonishment.
Shane just went to the Wynns to break off the engagement, and now he had already found a new partner?!
Ysabel and Megan did not get along very well when they were young. At this time, they finally caught the opportunity to ridicule each other.
Ysabel immediately sneered. "Hehe. Megan, your daughter is so anxious to find a man. Is she worried that she won't be able to marry?!"
Megan counterattacked, "My daughter is attractive unlike you! You can't give birth to a daughter, so you can only adopt one!"
"What about my adoptive daughter?" Ysabel's face turned blue with anger. "My daughter is about to have a blind date with Andrew from the Kean Corporation! I bet your daughter can only end up with a jerk!"
Hearing her words, Megan sneered proudly with her arms crossed. "Haha. I'm afraid I'll let you down! My daughter has found an outstanding son-in-law."
"O-Outstanding?" With that, Ysabel's anger instantly vanished as she pouted. "Hmph, I'll see how outstanding your son-in-law is!"
