I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 85

"No… Don't!" Shane howled like a crazy man, but no one paid him any attention!

On the other hand, the other young masters were all trembling with fear!

None of them dared to come forward at this time!

In Shane's miserable howl, Kingsley helped Cecilia up from the bed. "Are you okay? Can you walk? I'll take you home."

"Yeah..." Cecilia wiped her tears away and uttered, "Thank you so much for today..."

"It's because of me that you got hurt, so you don't have to thank me."

Slinging his arm on Cecilia's waist, he reassured her, "Don't worry. The Carter Family will send someone to the Larson Family to break off the engagement tomorrow."

"That's right. I'll keep an eye on this matter, Miss Larson. You can rest assured," added Harry in a hurry.

With Young Master Harry's promise, Cecilia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After unloading the big stone in her heart, her body lost strength, and she fell into Kingsley's arms.

"I... I'm sorry. My legs have gone limp." She blushed and dared not look into Kingsley's eyes.

"It's okay. I'll carry you."

Without a word, Kingsley grabbed Cecilia by the waist and carried her.

Cecilia buried his face in his chest, inhaling the unique manly smell that he exuded, and felt like she was finally in a safe place…

Seeing that scene, the young masters standing beside them looked puzzled.

Shane did not seem to have wronged the two...

Kingsley walked to the door with Cecilia in his arms, but when he suddenly remembered something, he stopped, turned around, and said to Trevis, "Young Master Trevis, William's funeral will be held in House of Mercy, right? See you at the funeral tomorrow!"

After speaking, he carried Cecilia in his arms and left.

Seeing the mess in front of him, Simon Covey swallowed and quavered, "Trevis, I... I drank too much today, so I may not be able to wake up tomorrow... I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Young Master William's funeral..."

Quickly, the others started uttering, "I also have a bad headache, so I may not be able to go tomorrow..."

"Young Master Trevis, I'll transfer the condolence money to you because I don't think I'll be there..."

Hearing that Kingsley would also be attending William's funeral the next day, the other young masters used various excuses to reject Trevis' invitation.

No one wanted to get themselves in trouble!

Trevis' face was twisted after hearing their excuses. Turning on his heels, he left the scene and drove back to Jacob Residence as fast as she could.

As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to Felix's study.

"Dad, what happened 17 years ago? What kind of grudge does Kingsley have with us?!"

Felix frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask?"

"I saw him today at La Myriade!"

As soon as those words came out, Felix immediately stood up from his chair and questioned in shock, "Have you seen that person?! Who is he? Did he tell you anything?!"

"He... He looks like he's only about 20 years old, and he hangs out with the notorious Mickey Kray."

With that, he told Felix about what happened in the club before inquiring, "Dad, was there a rivalry between him and our family?"

Hearing that, Felix slowly sat back on the chair and immersed himself in thoughts, muttering, "20 years old? Could it be that Xavier Nicholson had a son who was still alive?"

Thinking of that possibility, he raised his head and said to Trevis, "Don't ask anything more about the Nicholson family! Those are the grudges of the previous generation and have nothing to do with you."

"But... that person said that he is going to attend William's funeral tomorrow. I think he has no good intentions at all!"

"Don't worry." Felix smiled sinisterly. "A young brat can't cause any serious damage!" From NôvelDrama.Org.

Before this, he was worried about someone powerful making a comeback from the Nicholson family, but when he heard that Kingsley was just a 20-year-old young man, his nervousness dissipated.

However, Trevis was still a little worried, so he inquired, "That kid is messing with Mickey Kray! What if he brings someone to the funeral tomorrow to stir up trouble?"

In response, Felix looked cynical and cruel as he uttered, "The people we invite are all powerful people in Cleapolis! Even Baron Howe, one of the Seven Legends, will attend personally! If that kid dares to come, I will send him to meet his parents!"

Speaking of that, Felix paused slightly, "By the way, have you arranged for that model called Yulia Ansley of Reed Modelling Agency?"

"It has been arranged." Trevis nodded and continued, "After the ceremony is over, I will send her to the banquet to serve Mr. Stein."

Felix warned, "It's not easy to meet the chairman of Ramada Corporation, so you must seize this opportunity well. No mistakes are allowed!"

……

Early in the morning the next day, Kingsley received a call from Lancer, reporting, "Ares, besides the Summers family and the Jacob family, I found out that the Fox Family also has something to do with what happened 17 years ago! Matt Fox of the Fox Family is the chairman of Prime Corporation and the president of Roseland Chamber of Commerce. He, as well as Felix and the rest, are all suspects!"

"Roseland Chamber of Commerce?"

Kingsley frowned and muttered in his heart, The organization that helped Clarence impose a sanction on Reene before this was Roseland Chamber of Commerce! I can't believe it's such a small world!

"Ares, there is one more thing..." Lancer hesitated.

"Matt's younger sister Megan Fox is Cecilia's mother, and Cecilia is Reene's best friend, so this relationship..."

"It doesn't matter," Kingsley interrupted indifferently.

"I will handle the Fox Family by myself!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, Leroy Johnson came to Kingsley's residence and reminded him, "Mr. Nicholson, William's funeral is about to begin."

Kingsley put on a dark gray tie in front of the mirror and asked lightly, "Is everything ready?"

"It's all ready. I've prepared everything from wreaths to condolence money."

"Okay." A hint of coldness appeared in Kingsley's eyes as he ordered, "Let's go and send Young

Master William off!"

William's funeral was held in House of Mercy, a premium funeral home for the rich and noble families.

Hundreds of luxury cars of various models were parked in the parking lot at the entrance of House of Mercy, almost looking like a showroom.

The sky was overcast, and the clouds were hanging so low that it felt suffocating.

It was obviously midsummer, but there was a bleak coldness to it on this day.

At the gate of the condolence hall to House of Mercy, Felix stood desolately with a sad expression on his face.

A few strands of gray hair on his head were blown by the wind, which added to the lonesome image he had.

His heart was full of misery as he had to lay his child to rest.

"Dad, the guests are almost here." Trevis stood behind and informed him in a low voice.

Taking a deep breath, Felix declared, "Let the ceremony… begin…"

Soon, the priest started the ritual.

Men who came to worship were all dressed in luxurious black suits and holding white lily or yellow rose bouquets, while ladies wore black dresses and covered their faces with black veils.

Hearing the start of the ceremony, everyone felt a sense of grief and sorrow in their hearts.

"My condolences to you, Mr. Jacob," A middle-aged man stepped forward and mourned in a deep voice.

He then lit a candle for William.

Following that, all the relatives, friends, and business partners of the Jacob family came forward to pay their respects.

Everyone sighed when they looked at William lying in the luxurious coffin.

"Young Master William is still so young. Why did he suddenly get sick and leave us?"

"The Jacob family has three sons, but one is far abroad, and the other has rested, leaving Young Master Harry the only one staying by Mr. Jacob's side."

The doctors and makeup artist had repaired William's broken body, so he was now lying with a relaxed face and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

No one knew that he had suffered a miserable death!

They all thought that he passed away after suffering a sudden illness, as the Jacob family claimed.

Listening to the hushed discussions among the crowd, Felix felt like tears were forming in his eyes, threatening to fall any second!

Nevertheless, he fought back his tears and asked Trevis, "Are you sure that kid will come today?"

"He said he would come."

Trevis looked back at Baron Howe, who was lighting a candle, and continued, "I guess he heard that Master Howe is here, so he decided not to come anymore?"

"It's fine if he doesn't come!" Felix clenched his fists and grunted, "If he has the guts to come, I will let bury him with William!"

Just as his words fell out of his mouth, a tall and broad figure appeared before him!
