Chapter 7


    Reene was shocked when Kingsley behaved like apletely different person. “Kingsley, you…”After


    tucking away his malice, Kingsley smiled warmly at Reene. “Don’t worry, Reene. No one can bully you


    when I’m around.”Instantly, an unparalleled sense of security filled her heart, and her gaze blurred for a


    split second beforeing to her senses.“Don’t be so reckless again, Kingsley. The Wynns might only


    be a second-ss family, but you shouldn’t cross them if you want to stay and develop your career in


    Cleapolis.”“Got it, sis.”At that, Kingsley wrapped an arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear,


    “But I don’t want to be your brother today. You promised to marry me after we grew up, so why don’t


    you let me be your husband for a day?”Tickled by his warm breath, Reene blushed and pushed him


    away limply. “Cut it out. It’s bad if people see us like this…”Meanwhile, Ysabel, who followed behind


    them, cursed, seeing how intimately they behaved. “Goddammit! We have to arrange a blind date for


    her quickly. We can’t let a piece of trash like him be with Reene!”Elijah, on the other hand, was looking


    grim. “President Kean’s son happened to have returned from abroad in the past couple of days. I’ll ask


    around; see if we can match them up.”“President Kean from Kean Corporation?!” Ysabel gushed, wide-


    eyed. “His son is truly a gifted one! If Reene can marry him, then we will never have to bear rence’s


    humiliations ever again!”“Don’t worry. With Reene’s looks and figure, no man can say no…”Soon, the


    four arrived at the banquet hall one after another, causing the bustling crowd to silence in an instant,


    looking at them with gazes filled with contempt.“Huh, look, if it isn’t the goddess entrepreneur of


    Cleapolis. Shouldn’t we all bow down to her?”“My, she has even brought a man with her. Does she


    think she can have our family feed another mouth?”“Herpany’s on the verge of bankruptcy, and yet


    she’s still in the mood to keep a toy boy? Huh, what a sl*t!”The rtives of the Wynns scoffed one after


    another, drowning Reene with their mockery.Reene paled in response, and her body began trembling


    uncontrobly.Kingsley, on the other hand, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, patting her, feeling


    her delicate, smooth skin when he sensed her anger and fear.While leaning in her brother’s muscr


    arms, Reene took a deep breath to calm down before pulling a wry smile, whispering, “This is the


    hospitality I get in the Wynn Family. I didn’t want you to see this.”“Why would they treat you likeBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    this?”“The department store I established on my own is now one of the biggest supporting businesses


    of the Wynn Family, only second to rk Corporation. They’re intimidated.”Kingsley got it now. Reene


    was so outstanding that the Wynns were jealous and fearful of her! They wanted to seize Neveah and


    im it as their own! At that, he held Reene’s arm tightly and promised, “Don’t worry, Reene. No one


    can take whatever’s yours.”Just then, a woman in a white evening dress approached them and spoke


    sarcastically. “My, isn’t this my goddess of a cousin? Hadn’t you been acting all chaste and lofty all this


    while? Howe you’re now also fishing for men?”This woman was none other than rence’s


    daughter, Mia Wynn.With that, Mia crossed her arms and sized Kingsly up with a reproving gaze. “Well,


    Reene, I have to say, you’ve got pretty bad taste! I can’t believe you actually got yourself a boy toy!


    What use is there if a man is only good-looking? What’s important is his ability and background!”“Quit


    your nonsense and take your seat. Grandpa wille in any minute,” Reene said coldly and walked


    past her with disgust.“Tsk, poser!” Mia rolled her eyes and followed after her, swaying her bootylicious


    backside left and right.At the head table of the banquet, rence crossed his legs and insinuated


    triumphantly, “Everyone sitting at this table is going to make major decisions in the family business.


    Those not involved should just mind their own business.”“Yeah, Uncle Elijah, you have no businesses


    under your name here. So why don’t you join our rtives next to our table? They’re all employees of


    our businesses. Surely you guys share amonnguage,” ridiculed Alex with a face full of


    derision.The father and son’s mockery left Elijah seething with fury, and he retorted, “Reene’s the


    president of Neveah. As her father, why can’t I sit here?”“You don’t know yet, Uncle Elijah?” Alex took a


    sip of red wine and gloated, “The five great corporations of the Rosnd Chamber of Commerce have


    boycotted Neveah, and now it’s on the verge of falling. Who knows, someone else might take over her


    spot by next month!”What?!Elijah and Ysabel’s faces turned grim.Their only hope now was on Reene.


    If rence and his family sessfully seized Neveah as their own, they would have nothing


    left!“Reene, what is going on?!” Elijah bellowed through gnashed teeth, livid with rage. “Why didn’t you


    tell us something so important?!”“You won’t be able to settle it, Dad. Telling you will only add to your


    troubles,” Reene answered inly while sitting upright with her eyes drooped.“Hahaha…” Mia covered


    her mouth and chuckled. “My, Uncle Elijah, I really pity you. Even a lowly orphan dares to look down on


    you.”“Hahaha…” Everyone at the table guffawed at Mia’s words.Orphan?Malice shed across


    Kingsley’s eyes, for the term was his biggest taboo.“Reene, you god*mned brat…” Elijah mmed on


    the table with veins popping out under his skin, roaring, “I’m going to give you a good beating!”“Dad


    —”Just as Reene wanted to speak up, a row ofmotion came from the hall’s entrance.
