Chapter 464 The Best Punishment
Elaine ran up and gave Vincent a tight hug. "Dad! I know you wanted to make Mom regret her decisions, but if she saw you like this, she would only feel that leaving was the right thing to do!"
When Vincent, who was on the verge of losing his mind, heard that, was slightly startled. His lips quivered. "What should I do then? I’ve already lost everything..." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
While still embracing him, she begged as she looked at Kingsley, "Kingsley… Mr. Nicholson, could you please let my father go? I’ll take his place instead…"
At this point, Courtney stepped forward and continued, "Kingsley, I believe the reason why Professor Albright is prejudiced is that the incident that happened years ago negatively impacted his mental health. Furthermore, once this incident is made public, I'm sure he'll lose his job as a college professor. He no longer has any chance of succeeding. Since Elaine previously saved me, please let him go..."
Elaine continued to sob. "I don’t expect you to forgive him, so all I ask is for you to not hurt him. I’ll take my dad back to his hometown and he’ll never appear before you again…"
When Kingsley saw how devastated Elaine was, a memory of her holding a huge bouquet of roses and proudly proclaiming "I am his girlfriend" from that night flashed before his eyes.
He took a deep breath. "Fine." Courtney has a point. Because of Elaine, I will never be able to kill Vincent. Furthermore, Vincent aspired to become a distinguished academic in this lifetime and someone who is admired and idolized by all. It would be more agonizing for him to return to his hometown and resume living as an ordinary person in the countryside compared to his dying. This could be his best punishment yet!
Upon hearing Kingsley’s response, Courtney and Queenie also heaved a sigh of relief.
Elaine repeatedly bowed to Kingsley. "Thank you, Mr. Nicholson. Thank you."
Meanwhile, Vincent sat there listlessly and dazedly as if he had gone insane.
"One more thing." Kingsley pondered for a bit before proceeding to tell Elaine, "Let me know the address of your hometown. Once I’ve caught the actual murderer, I’ll take him there for Professor Albright to verify the identity."
There were still tear stains on Elaine's face as she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll text you."
The moment she finished talking, Kingsley’s phone vibrated.
He took out his phone to look at it. It was a text message from Lancer.
‘Hey boss, we have a problem at Thinking Cup Coffee.’
Thinking Cup Coffee? Kingsley frowned. Isn’t that the place where Stork, the leader of The Nightcrawler, was seen?
Kingsley had requested Jarett's advisor, Kenny, to send someone to help Lancer keep watch near Thinking Cup Coffee.
Upon hearing Kingsley’s response, Courtney and Queenie also heaved a sigh of relief.
And now, Lancer said there's a problem at Thinking Cup Coffee. Could it be that Stork has shown up?
At this thought, Kingsley immediately called Lancer. "Hey, Lancer. What’s up? Did Stork show up?"
"No, that’s not what this is about," said Lancer. "Thinking Cup Coffee is in the north of the city, which is the territory of the Jeanne Gang. Because Kenny's people kept coming in and out of there, it caused a problem with the Jeanne Gang. This led to conflict between the two parties..."
Lancer did not finish his sentence, but Kingsley already knew what he meant.
Kenny’s people were also Jarett’s subordinates.
These people were constantly in the Jeanne Gang's territory, so it was only natural for them to be wary.
It was initially a trivial matter that Lancer could handle, but knowing that the boss of the Jeanne Gang was Victoria, who was also Kingsley's fourth sister, he did not dare to take things lightly. So, he texted Kingsley to ask for advice.
Kingsley replied, "I understand. I didn’t think this through. I’ll go back and handle it."
After hanging up, he said to Vincent, "Since I've already promised your daughter, I won’t do anything to you. I have one last question for you."
