CHAPTER 519 MEETING CECILIA

Kingsley was taken aback. "It's nothing, really."

He had a good impression of Cecilia, one of the five beauties of Cleapolis. However, he also knew he showered a heavy responsibility and couldn't attend to her.

So, he didn't want her to waste her feelings on him any further.

On the other end of the phone, Cecilia sighed. "Kingsley, I hope you don't feel burdened by being with me. Reene is my best friend, and you and I can be best friends too!"

Kingsley's heart moved slightly. He knew that this intelligent girl had already sensed his concerns.

As he was about to refuse again, Cecilia choked up and said, "Or are you saying we can't even be friends?"

Kingsley understood that if he refused again, it would be cruel. So, he could only apologize and say, "Well, actually, I want to teach the Wynn Family a lesson tomorrow. There's something I need your help with."

"The Wynn Family?!" Cecilia instantly got excited. "Are you finally going to teach them a lesson for Reene?! That's great! I'll help! You can ask me to do anything!"

Kingsley could tell that she was really excited.

"What do you need me to do?" Cecilia asked excitedly, "How can I help? Can you make the Wynns stop bullying Reene in the future? Can you—"

Listening to Cecilia's rapid-fire questions, Kingsley quickly interrupted, "It's simple. Just accompany me to the bank this afternoon and get some money." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Just that?" Cecilia seemed a bit dissatisfied. "I thought you would ask me to slap Mia in the face!"

Kingsley laughed. "Believe me, what I'm asking you to do is more satisfying than slapping her in the face!"

"Okay! I believe you!" Cecilia exclaimed excitedly. "When are we going to the bank?"

Kingsley looked at his watch, "I'll go to your house now. Is that convenient?"

"Of course!" Cecilia said, "Let me get ready!"

After hanging up the phone, Kingsley went to the study. "Reene, I'm going out for a bit."

Reene was busy working and didn't think much of it. She just nodded. "Okay, come back soon."

Kingsley then went directly to Larson Residence.

To his surprise, as soon as he parked the car at the gate of Larson Residence, Michael, Megan, and Asher came out to greet him.

They all had flattering smiles as if they were about to eat him.

Kingsley had initially intended to pick up Cecilia and go straight to the bank.

However, he could only helplessly get out of the car in this situation.

Michael walked over with his hands outstretched and smiled with wrinkles all over his face. "My dear son-in-law, it's been so long since we last met. I really miss you!"

Kingsley hesitated and subconsciously glanced at Cecilia beside him.

He had previously agreed to pretend to be her boyfriend, but that was just a temporary measure.

Now that Cecilia had escaped from the entanglement of Shane and others, he didn't want to keep up the act.

Cecilia noticed his thoughts and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

So, she bit her lip and walked forward to say, "Dad, w-we've already broken up."

"Broken up?!" Upon hearing her words, Michael, his wife, and Asher exclaimed in shock.

Michael froze in place, and his face turned pale. "H-How did this happen..."

He looked at Kingsley and cautiously asked, "Kingsley, why did you break up? Did Cecilia do something wrong?"

Megan poked Cecilia's back hard and asked through her teeth, "What happened? What did you do to

make Kingsley dump you?!"

As Kingsley watched Cecilia's eyes turn red with tears, he sighed and said, "Mr. Larson, there has been a misunderstanding. There was no dumping involved. It's just that I'm at a critical point in my career and cannot afford to be distracted by a romantic relationship. However, we are still good friends."

"I'm not sure I understand," Michael said.
