Chapter 197
Alice stepped out of the elevator, turned around, and smiled. "Of course, I won't go back on my word! What do you want to ask for?"
"Hmm… I haven't thought about it yet." Kingsley quickly caught up with Alice, grabbed her slender waist, and inquired, "Alice, how long can you keep this promise?"
Alice's aloof and pretty face instantly melted into a blush. "For… For a lifetime!"
"For a lifetime? Then I will have to think about it, hahaha…"
The two of them laughed and chatted while entering Reene's ward.
However, they did not notice that there was a sinister gaze staring at them outside the door of the safe passage that was left ajar!
That person was Beau!
He was secretly smoking a cigarette in the safe passage just now and accidentally saw them together, which ignited his jealousy and anger!
"D*mn it! Isn't this kid the son-in-law of the Larson Family? Why is he so close to Alice?!"
Alice, who was cold toward him, was currently laughing joyfully in front of Kingsley.
Beau clenched his fists so hard that they could burst!
"You b*stard! If I can't afford to mess with you openly, watch me do it secretly!"
There was a cynical look in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Alice Kramer, you shall become my plaything sooner or later!"
At the same time, news of Ares, the God of War, appearing in Hill Crest Hospital spread like wildfire!
Kean Corporation was the first to react after hearing the news.
Stanley Kean, the head of the Kean Family, kept his hands behind his back while pacing back and forth in the living room of Kean Residence.
"The God of War, Ares, has come to Cleapolis! If our family can seize this opportunity, we will surely rise to the top and become the top-class family in Cleapolis!"
On the contrary, Andrew, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, had a glum expression on his face.
"Dad, can you stop walking around? It's making me dizzy…"
Andrew Kean was the eldest young master of the Kean Family who was supposed to have a blind date with Reene.
He was in his early thirties this year and had a dignified appearance. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Recently, however, his hair had turned gray, and his face was also as dark as rain clouds in the sky.
Because of that, he looked ten years older than his actual age!
Seeing Andrew's frown, Stanley laughed. "My son! Look how haggard you are! Why are you fretting over the lost man from Sweoya? Do not worry! As long as we're able to befriend the God of War, Ares, our family will thrive in glory! By that time, even if Boris was broken into pieces, I will find him for you!"
Hearing Stanley's words, Andrew, who was depraved, suddenly sat up straight and inquired, "Really? Dad, is there a way for you to befriend Ares, the God of War?"
"Hahaha! When Jeffred was still the director of a small department, I gave him a lot of support! That's how he successfully became the director of Hill Crest Hospital. I played a huge part!" Stanley boasted. "Now, it's time for him to repay his gratitude!"
Andrew's spirits were lifted when he heard that. "Dad, hurry up and get in touch with him, then! We can't let the other families get ahead of us!"
"Of course! I will give him a call right away!"
After speaking, Stanley took out his phone and called Jeffred.
Jeffred had just taken his medicine at this time and was slouching in his chair in the director's office with his eyes closed.
In his heart, he was thinking about how to please Kingsley and Alice to make up for the mistakes he made before.
Ring! Ring!
His phone rang, and when he saw that it was Stanley calling, he quickly cleared his throat, greeting, "Hello, President Kean."
"Hahaha. Director Church, how are you?" Stanley sounded over-enthusiastic. "You must have been busy with work recently. Are you free to have a meal together?"
"A meal?"
Jeffred raised his brows skeptically. Why would Stanley, a man with high status, suddenly take the initiative to call and invite him to dinner?
A meaningful sneer appeared on his face, but he replied politely, "Is there anything that you would like for me to do? If it is within my ability, I will do my best!"
"Hahaha… You're quick to catch on!" Stanley snorted and asked tentatively, "I heard that… Ares, the God of War, visited Hill Crest Hospital today."
"Ares, the God of War?"
Jeffred initially thought that Stanley had relatives or friends coming to the hospital for treatment, so he called to ask him to take extra care of them. But never did he expect that it was for Ares, the God of War! Immediately, Kingsley's towering figure and stern face appeared in his mind. "Uh… that's right… Ares, the God of War, is in our hospital…"
Hearing that, Stanley stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point with excitement. "Director Church, I would like to invite Ares, the God of War, to dinner tomorrow! I was wondering if you could help me get in touch with him?"
