Chapter 402

"My dad is already here." Will gestured at the VIP lounge on the side of the hall. "He and the otherboard members are in the VIP room with Mr. Hewitt and the mayor. I think they will only come out whenthe banquet is about to start."

Kingsley nodded in agreement. "You're right. I wondered why so many provincial and municipal carswere parked at the gate, but not one could be seen in this hall."

Will grinned. "Well, those are VIPs. You don't get to see or talk to them unless you're the chairman of alarge corporation or an influential person in Diosna. We, youngsters, should just wait in the lobbyoutside."

There was a commotion in the crowd as soon as he finished speaking. Someone announced, "Mr.Yorkshire from Sunrise Corporation has arrived!"

"Good to see you, Mr. Yorkshire."

"This way, please!"

Eric walked over slowly to the center of the hall in his luxurious silver-gray suit as everyone startedpandering to him. He had a prideful expression on his face. Coupled with his snobby attitude, hesucceeded in looking like a peacock strutting into the venue. Although Will was on par with himregarding power and wealth, Eric managed to look far more arrogant than Will.

Will could not help but snort when he saw Eric's smug look. "What an arrogant *sshole! He merely wonColiree Group's project, and he is showing off like a peacock."

Just as Will was discreetly insulting the pompous peacock, Eric also caught sight of Will and walked upto him. He chalked up a fake smile and said enigmatically, "Isn't this the Young Master of the ScarletHeart Group? Why are you looking so emaciated? Is it because the Scarlet Heart Group is going to bebankrupt? Oh boy, poor you. Why don't you come to my corporation, and I promise you—" Eric was justabout to say something sarcastic when his expression suddenly changed; he just realized Kingsley wasstanding beside Will.

He unwittingly pointed his fingers at Kingsley and was lost for words for being caught off guard. "Y-Youwere the one at the Sunshine Casino that day!"

Kingsley found it amusing that Eric was so shocked to see him. He smiled slightly and teased, "Did youonly just see me?"

Will had never felt so happy seeing Eric's terrified expression, so he imitated Eric's enigmatic tone."Isn't this Mr. Yorkshire? You do look great. I wonder if it is because you ate some socks? Don't be shyto let me know if there aren't enough socks at the Sunrise Corporation. My corporation can add a newsocks production line for you!”

Eric was so furious that his face turned red, and veins started bulging on his forehead when he heardWill's sickly-sweet insults. Still, he remembered that he was currently in public, so he directed his angerat Kingsley by cursing him, "Now I know why you are so rich. That's because you are alluding to thisshady person here! He sent you to humiliate me the other day! You deliberately set me up!"

Kingsley sneered coldly. "You're obviously trying to replace fault with us after seeing Paige's beauty. I

wonder why you try to blame whatever happened to you on me instead."

"You f*cking retard!" Eric was already waving his hands angrily as he roared, "I clearly fell into the trapyou two b*stards set for me!" The thought of it made him so agitated that he felt his veins were about toburst. Kingsley forced him to swallow a sock in public at the Sunshine Casino. Although he instantlyvomited it out as soon as he left the place, he was still so sick at the smell that he almost vomited outbile.

And he needed to replace out who leaked this matter. It had even spread among the wealthy heirs in theCity. Everyone was afraid of his status in the City, and no one dared to discuss it in front of him.However, he could imagine how they all laughed at him behind his back.

The longer he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he clenched his fist so tightly that hisbones creaked in protest. "Will, you have to give me an explanation today, no matter what!" He thenpointed at Kingsley with his fingers and tilted his chin arrogantly at Will. "You have two choices. Either Iwill bring Kingsley back to vent my anger on him, or you kneel down and admit that the Scarlet HeartGroup is insidious and cunning!"
