Chapter 8
“Old Master Wynn is here!”Alex and Mia stood up under Clarence’s lead, welcoming the patriarch oftheir family.Henry might be over seventy now, but he was still in the pink.After sitting down next to hiseldest with a loving face, he swept his gaze across the room, saying with contentment, “Good. With somany family members, we, the Wynns, will surely have an even more prosperous future!”Just then, hefroze for a split second and turned to Mia. “Mia, why hasn’t your fiancé arrived? It’s been a long whilesince I last saw him!”“Grandpa, Ethan was suddenly summoned home, saying there’s somethingimmediate they have to deal with, and he might be late.”“Is that so…” Henry nodded. “The Windsorsare a big family, so it’s only natural that they’re busy with work. Let’s wait for a while. We’ll start thebanquet when he comes!”Kingsley frowned upon hearing it. What condescending f*cker is so high andmighty that the entire Wynn Family is willing to wait for him?Just then, Henry noticed a strangeramongst them at the table.“And this is…”Reene hurriedly introduced Kingsley, speaking deferentially,“Grandpa, this is my brother from the orphanage.”“And also her future husband,” Kingsley addedalmost instantly.“Knock it off.” Reene gave him a kick under the table.“Is that so?” Henry shot adisdainful glance at Kingsley before reprimanding Reene. “I was wondering why Neveah’s salesdropped so drastically. So you’ve neglected work for love!”“It’s not like that, Grandpa. The RoselandChamber of Commerce—”But before she could finish her words, Alex butted in. “That’s enough, ReeneWynn. All the money you used to start your business came from our family. No way will we just sit andwatch you neglect your duty. So you better hurry up and hand Neveah over.”The other relativeshurriedly echoed Alex’s condemnation.“Yeah, don’t be the dog in the manger when you’re incompetent!Have you no shame?!”“Our family’s business should naturally be managed by one of us. Even if you’vechanged your last name, you’re still an untrustworthy outsider.”“You guys…” With eyes red-rimmed,Reene screamed, “I’ve worked day and night to build Neveah from nothing. Even if the Wynn Familyhad provided me with the start-up fund, I’ve long returned it all after all these years.”“That’s enough!”Henry slammed the table. “Everyone, shut up!”Just as the tension was at its max, someone pushed thedoor open, breaking the frozen atmosphere.“Sorry, I’m late,” the dashing young man apologized like a
true gentleman.Everyone began whispering in awe as soon as they saw who it was.“So he’s Mia’sfiancé, Young Master Ethan of the Windsor family?!”“I heard he had just returned from studying inMittera. Surely his future will be limitless!”“Goodness, the Windsor Family is one of the top ten familiesof the city! Who’d have thought Mia could play up to a family like that?!”Ethan’s nose was now evenhigher in the air, basking in the crowd’s envious gazes.After sitting next to Mia, he apologizedgraciously, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting. There was a family emergency.” At that, Clarence hurriedlywaved his hand. “No need to apologize. It’s only right that we wait.”Henry, on the other hand, smiledlovingly and asked, “Ethan, what kind of emergency was it? Do you mind sharing it with us?”He had akeen sense of judgment for business, and he had already sensed an abnormality from Ethan’sabsence.With that, Ethan turned sober and said in a low voice, “A giant had landed in Cleapolis fromout of nowhere this afternoon with a paid-up registered capital of one hundred billion. Not only that,they even bought the entire Tech Valley in Central Area to become their business site. This has neverhappened before! They’ve thrown a few joint projects out in the market. If we’re able to bag any one ofthem, we’ll surely jump straight to the top and become the top family of Cleapolis and even the entireSolaris Province!”Gasp!Everyone at the table gasped with incredulity. “A paid-up registered capital ofone hundred billion? Who can it be that’s this mighty?!”“Coliree Group!” Ethan announced with greatadmiration. “They’re so powerful that it’s unimaginable!”“My dear grandson-in-law.” Henry was soexcited that his voice was shaking. “Do you think… the Wynn Family will be able to get a chance at halfof a joint project?”“Well…” Ethan’s gaze drifted off as he boasted with feigned ability. “Coliree Groupwill hold a tender assembly in a couple of days. With my family’s help, you guys might get achance.”“Fantastic!” Henry grinned ear to ear. “If this is a success, I’ll allocate another eight million toClark Corporation and fully support your collaboration with Coliree Group!”“Thank you, Father!”“Thankyou, Grandpa!”Clarence and Alex were in seventh heaven.However, while some were happy, therewere some in misery, and Elijah and Ysabel’s faces were beyond grim.If things went on like this, nodoubt all of their family fortunes would end up in Clarence’s and his family’s pockets.Reene, on theother hand, frowned and asked, “Grandpa, where will you take the eight million from you promised soeasily? You’re going to take it from Neveah again, aren’t you?”Henry glared at her upon hearing that,
and he retorted by saying, “What are you trying to say? Neveah is also our family’s business! Whatdoes it matter if you give a bit of money?!”“Yeah! What does it matter if we sell Neveah to work withColiree Group?” Mia rolled her eyes with contempt. “I bet you’re jealous of Clark Corporation and thatmy fiancé is more capable than your boy toy!”“You…” Reene huffed, gnashing her teeth, livid with rage.No one in the Wynn Family saw her as anybody!Meanwhile, malice flashed across Kingsley’s face.Howdare you pick on my sister? Fine, I’ll send all of you to hell!“Reene, leave this to me.”With that, heswept his cold gaze across the table before landing it on Henry. “Old Master Henry, what do you say toa bet?”“Who the f*ck do you think you are to make a bet with my father, you low life?!” Clarence chidedas he slammed the table.On the other hand, Reene was rendered pale with shock. “Kingsley, this is nojoking matter. I can handle this. Don’t drag yourself in,” she whispered to Kingsley.However, Kingsleycontinued to stare at Henry with a blazing gaze, provoking, “What’s wrong, Old Master Henry? Do younot dare to make a bet with me?”
