Chapter 212
Two days later, a big piece of news began spreading in Cleapolis' business circles. Clark Corporation had been kicked out of Roseland Chamber of Commerce, and its assets had been reduced by 60 percent overnight. It was estimated that the company would be declared bankrupt in less than two weeks!
Kingsley was chatting with Reene in the ward. When he saw the news, he said to her with a cheerful grin, "Reene, do you still remember the bet I made with Henry?"
At this moment, Reene's injuries had almost healed. Not even her hospital gown could hide the graceful quality she had about her. Reclining in her sickbed, she shook her head with a smile. "Kingsley, the Wynns aren't as simple as you think. There's no way they'll fulfill their promise and hand Clark Corporation over to me."
"Reene, believe it or not, Clarence and others will voluntarily ask to transfer the ownership of Clark Corporation to you in just a few days."
"Haha! What nonsense are you talking about, Kingsley?" Reene patted him lightly on the arm. "The Wynns aren't idiots. How can they possibly hand over the backbone of their family to me?"
Kingsley replied with a mysterious smile, "I played a little trick to ensure that Clarence will beg you on his knees to take over Clark Corporation."
Reene shook her head in resignation again. "Alright, enough of that nonsense. Alice will come and keep me company after coming off duty in a while, so go back and get some rest."
Meanwhile, Alice was sitting face-to-face across from Jeffred in the hospital director's office.
Jeffred held his palms together while bowing to her repeatedly, saying, "Just this time, Dr. Kramer! Please say yes! This is also a good opportunity for you!"
Just a while ago, he had received a phone call from Scott, who told him that the Hill Crest Hospital could have five seats allocated to it at the 18th Cleapolis Medical Forum this year. However, Dr. Nicholson, the God of Medicine who had performed acupuncture on Joshua the other day, had to be among the five participants.
Jeffred was both thrilled and worried. Kingsley had attended the dinner last time to do him a favor, only to end up being humiliated by several spoiled rich brats. How could he have the face to ask the former for help again? Therefore, he decided to turn to Alice. After all, she was Kingsley's second sister, so he'd never turn her down as long as she asked him.
However, Alice shook her head after listening to his suggestion. "Kingsley said he wouldn't pursue a career in medicine because that wasn't where his ambitions lay. I won't impose myself on him either." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Dr. Kramer, this is a great opportunity!" Jeffred had an imploring look on his face. "Even if Mr. Nicholson doesn't want to work in the field of medicine, you're still going to continue working as a doctor, right?"
"Indeed, I'd very much like to attend the forum." Alice smiled. "But I won't force my brother to do what he doesn't want to do because of my own selfish desires."
Jeffred grabbed his hair in anxiety. "Let me be honest with you, Dr. Kramer. I'm not gonna attend the medical forum this time; I want Zayne to attend it instead. Please understand my devotion to him as a parent and have some sympathy for me!" he said. Then, seeing that Alice was about to shake her head
again, he immediately stood up from his chair and knelt down before her. "Dr. Kramer, how do you know that Mr. Nicholson will certainly say no? You haven't asked him about it yet. Please, help me just this once! I promise you that once you guys come back from the medical forum this time, I'll immediately promote you to head of department and let Jude work for you!"
"What are you doing, Director Church? Please get up…" Alice didn't expect Jeffred, who was over 50, to kneel before her. She couldn't help but let out a sigh, saying, "Sigh… If only Zayne really understands the trouble you've taken." Then, she helped Jeffred up and said impassively, "In that case, I'll ask Kingsley about it."
After leaving the hospital director's office, she came straight to Reene's ward. Sitting on the edge of Reene's sickbed, she asked as if unintentionally, "Kingsley, are you interested in the Cleapolis medical forum?"
"Medical forum?" Kingsley asked in puzzlement, "Are you gonna attend it, Alice?"
"Nope… I'm asking whether you want to attend it or not."
"No, I don't," Kingsley replied without thinking. "The forum will be full of old people who want to be my apprentice. I don't want to get badgered by them," he explained. Then, seeing how Alice looked somewhat disappointed, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Alice? You want me to go with you?"
"Of course not!" Alice shook her head. "I heard that the medical forum would be held at a holiday resort for three days this time. I've got to look after Reene, so I have no time to attend it."
