Chapter 16
Previously, Alfred rushed to hits mansion happily as he had just received the news that his daughter had finally been cured.
He was grateful for Master Alex’s help and was already comdering what gift to give as thanks.
Yet, as soon as he reached home, the first thing he saw was his son audaciously yelling at the guard to hit the young master.
Cold sweat broke out on Alfred’s brow, and his heart seemed to freeze.
The young master only needed to cough a bit, and the whole Kingston Group in Vancouver would be replaced by others at his whith.
“You fool!” enraged with fear, he kicked Charles to the ground.
Meanwhile, the butler hastily rushed to Alfred to explain everything in a low voice.
Jessica and Dr. Jenkin; who heard Alfred shouting, walked out of the room to check what had happened.
“Father, why kick me? It’s this man who showed disrespect to me…”

Without a word, Alfred struck Charles across the face before he could finish.
Two of Charles’s teeth fell to the floor. 1
Jessica gasped in shock.
This was unprecedented–never in Alfred’s life had he hit his son this fiercely.
Who exactly was this Alex that would make her husband go so far as to beat their son so badly?
Wasn’t he a mere doctor? 1
Charles was stunned, reeling from the unexpected blow.
“Sorry, Young M- Mr. Alex,” Alfred bowed deeply to Alex, his voice filled with regret. “I apologize for the disgrace my family has shown you.”

??!!
???!!!
All the people in the hall were more shocked than ever.
Never in their lives had they seen Alfred ever bow to anyone
“I see, you have raised a good son–making mistakes but not daring to admit them.” Alex sneered.
“Father! He is lying! I–Im–made no mistake,” Charles cut in hastily, his voice laced with guilt and fear.
“I–it is his job as a doctor to heal. We are Kingstons; you don’t need to show that kind of respect to him just because he can cure Jasmine!”
SHUT UP! You foolish boy!” Albert’s eyes burned with anger.
How did he end up with such a foolish and irresponsible son?!

Alex chuckled Ironically, “What a great Kingston.
Alfred’s face tumed pale with share.
Even though the Kingston family was looked up to and awed by Vancouver City, he was still a low–level rank in the Kingswell organization.
What is Kingston in front of Kingswell?
A candle to the sun.
“Young m- Mr Alex, it is clearly my mistake for being unable to raise my son well.” Albert sweated profusely, “I apologize again.”
He then turned to Charles, fuming, “You worthless fool, get over here! Kneel and apologize to Mr Alex!”
Charles could hardly believe his ears.
To apologize to Alex on his knees in front of everyone?
How would he ever face anyone again after that?
“Father! What the hell
“You hear me! If you dare argue, you’d better not call me ‘father‘ from now on. I have no such son.”
Jessica’s face turned deathly pale.
It looked like Alfred really meant it.
Watching him cut off his own son so quickly to appease this young man left her utterly shaken.
Even the Vancouver government usually showed Alfred Kingston the utmost respect.
Charles was equally shocked.
No matter what trouble he caused in the past, his father had always handled it without question.
But today, his father was disowning him!
All because of this young man?!
“Father,” Charles cried out, clinging to his father’s leg. “Please don’t do this to me, please forgive me! I beg you.”
“You shouldn’t be asking for my forgiveness, bastard!” Alfred spat coldly, kicking Charles away.
Turning to his wife, Alfred’s eyes blazed with fury.
“Didn’t I tell you to let Mr Alex heal Jasmine? Are you satised to make Jasmine suffer?“.
Jessica’s already pale face drained of the little color remaining.
She bowed her head with guilt.
If she had listened to her husband, her poor daughter wouldn’t have suffered so much.
Charles was terrified after seeing how determined Albert was; he even scolded his mother. Despite being wholeheartedly unwilling, Charles reluctantly dropped to his knees with a thud. “Hurry up and apologize! Don’t Dawdle!” Albert burst out

“S–sit, 1–I really made a huge mistake. P–please, forgive me.” Charles
Alex glanced at him and said coldly, “Fine, I won’t hold it against you this time, for your father’s sake. But don’t let it happen again…”
Alex didn’t specify what would happen otherwise, but Charles couldn’t help but shiver, although he didn’t understand why.
“There won’t be a next time, Mas-, Mr Alex. I’ll teach him good lesson.” Albert quickly assured.
Just then, a maid walked to them and said cheerfully. T
“Master, Mistress Jasmine just woke up.”
