Alice was shocked as well. What is going on? Mr. Lynch wanted to kill Kingsley just a while ago. What changed?

Everyone had a lot of questions, but Kingsley ignored them and simply smiled and pointed at Jennifer. "Mr. Lynch, this lady here wants you to call the cops on me. Will you do it?"

"Of course I won't..." Jude's teeth chattered. "Why would I call the cops? I won't do it! I'll never do it!"

Jennifer was dumbfounded. "Mr. Jude, this guy beat you up so bad, you had to be admitted into the ICU. Why aren't you calling the cops on him?"

Jude shot her a hateful look. "Mr. Nicholson didn't beat me up. I crashed into his fist."

Jennifer was rendered speechless.

"Stand up, Mr. Lynch." Kingsley sipped some tea. "Let's talk about Dr. Kramer's

n case.

Jude scrambled to get up and bowed like a slave. "I'll handle her case. I promise she can get back to work right away!"

Alice's eyes shone with delight.

Kingsley shot back coldly, "But this lady here said she's going to make Dr. Kramer work as a janitor."

"What?" Jude swiveled around, the look in his eyes fierce enough to kill. "Did you say that?"

"I..." Jennifer was nervous from being stared at. "I was just joking. I didn't—"

Before she could finish, Jude roared, "I'll tell the director about this! You're demoted to a janitor!"

Jennifer froze up in disbelief. "But..."

"No buts!" Jude's eyes were crimson with fury. "Even the director respects Mr. Nicholson. You're done for!" He then turned to look at the equally dumbfounded Brian. "Do you want to be a janitor too?" Brian's legs turned to jelly, and he plopped down to the ground. "No, no, no!" He waved

his hands frantically. "I have nothing to do with this. I don't know what happened."

"Are you even a man, Malkovich?" Jennifer bellowed in despair. "I thought you wanted to date me, but you're not even helping me out here! And you're cutting your ties with -Uf

me?

Brian's face fell. "I know you've moved into more than a few doctors' houses. You're just a slut! I'll never date a slut!" He did want to woo Jennifer, but when it came to his career, he would never let her drag him down. He held the hem of Jude's pants and begged fearfully, "Mr. Lynch, I have nothing to do with this, I swear!"

Jude shot him a glare and kicked him away. He turned back to Kingsley, reporting, "Don't worry, Mr. Nicholson. I'll tell the director about this. They'll be punished!"

"Good. Then demote them to janitors."

Kingsley was sounding really calm, but his decision had sealed Brian and Jennifer's fates.

Jennifer felt all her strength leave her, and she knelt down before Alice. "Dr. Kramer, plea-"

Before she could even finish that sentence, Kingsley crushed his cup into pieces and hurled a shard at Jennifer. The shard traveled as fast as lightning, and Jennifer screamed as the shard tore a gash on her lips and tongue. Blood spurted out from the wound, as if it were a fountain. "I told you I would cut your tongue off," Kingsley said, sounding as indifferent as the reaper himself.

"H-Help me!" Jennifer covered her mouth, but blood kept trickling out from the cracks between her fingers.

The customers were horrified. They thought Kingsley was just kidding when he said he would cut Jennifer's tongue off, but he actually went through with it.

"Leave. Don't get in the way of our dinner." Kingsley looked at Brian and Jennifer. The duo felt their blood run cold, and they ran like crazy toward the hospital.

The sight of blood on the ground did not faze Alice. She looked at Kingsley, touched. "W-What just happened, Kingsley?"
