Chapter 36
As she stood alone in front of the others, Reene couldn’t help trembling. At that moment, not even one
of them took her side and spoke up for her. Even her adoptive father, Elijah, simply cast a cold eye on
her.With the help of two younger members of the Wynns, Henry sat on Reene’s chair and said
arrogantly, “The equity transfer agreement has been prepared. You can sign it now if there are no other
problems.”Reene took a deep breath. “Okay, I’ll sign it.” There would be no turning back once she
signed the agreement, but she had no other way.She took the agreement from Alex and read it line by
line. Almost immediately, there was a sudden change in her expression.“Grandpa, why are the shares
being fully transferred to rk Corporation? Didn’t we agree to leave a small portion for me?” Her
hands that were holding the agreement started to tremble. “Also, why is my father taking the transfer
fee? What about me? I’ve poured my heart into running the business, so why am I not getting
anything?!”As he stroked his white beard, Henry exined, “It will be better for thepany if we fully
transfer the shares to one side, so there’s no need for you to be upset about this. As for the transfer
fee, Elijah is your father, so there’s no need to distinguish whether it’s yours or his, don’t you think
so?”Although it sounded as if it was a justified statement, he was just trying not to leave anything
behind for Reene. Once she signed the agreement, she wouldn’t have any connections to Neveah
Department Store anymore, and she wouldn’t even get a single penny!“There’s no way I’m signing this
unjust agreement!” Reene was determined as she shook her head, for it really hurt her that the Wynns
drafted an unjust agreement like this. They were really trying hard to kick her out of the game without
mercy!Reene bit her lip with sadness and despair written all over her face. She couldn’t understand
how they could be so ruthless to just kick her away as though they were kicking a stone. She had been
part of the family for nine years, after all!When Alex realized that Reene was going to back out, he
scowled at her immediately. “Stop being so shameless, Reene! Don’t waste our time and just sign the
agreement already!”Meanwhile, a furious Henry mmed the table forcefully. “You’re not in a position
to say no! Sign it now!”She gnashed her teeth and replied toughly, “Don’t try to bully me! I won’t sign
this sh*tty agreement even if I see Neveah Department Store going down in front of my own
eyes!”“Elijah! Is this how you teach your daughter?! Do you want to see Dad get mad?!” rence
rebuked Elijah with a darkened face.Getting scolded like a kid totally embarrassed Elijah since he was
not a young kid anymore. This is all that b*tch’s fault! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got,
so he snapped at Reene and said, “Reene Wynn! If you’re not signing this agreement today, you can
cut ties with our family right now!”Reene chuckled mncholically. “Hahaha! Even if I sign it, I’ll still get
kicked out of the family! You guys are just going to discard me after getting what you want, am I
right?”“D*mn it!” Alex couldn’t take it anymore. He pointed at her nose and shouted, “You wretch, hurry
up and sign the agreement while we’re still being nice! Don’t make mey my hands on you!”Just then,
a sonorous voice resonated from outside the room. “Do it and see what happens, then!”Everyone
turned around, only to see Kingsley standing upright at the door with a ruthless face.When they caught
sight of him, several younger members of the Wynns started whispering, “Isn’t he the boy toy that
showed up during our family banquet? Why is he here?”“He’s probably afraid that Reene won’t have
any money for him anymore once she signs the agreement.”“Hahahaha!” In an instant, the room was
filled with mockingughter.With a stern face, Kingsley strode right into the room and stood beside
Reene. Then, he threatened Alex in a condescending tone, “We’ll see if you dare toy your hands on
Reene!”Alex’s face paled at once when he saw Kingsley, for he witnessed with his own eyes how the
latter had choked Gordon to death with one hand! When he saw how embarrassing his son looked,
rence said coldly, “This is a matter between the Wynns. You have nothing to do with this!”Kingsley
simply ignored him and looked at Henry. “Old Master Henry, you still remember our bet, don’t you?”“Are
you talking about the coboration with the Coliree Group?” Disdain could be seen on Henry’s face.
“Now that Neveah Department Store’s capital chain has broken, I can’t even enter the pre-bid
conference! What’s the point of our bet then?”Alex chimed in and said, “That’s right! Everybody knows
that the invitation to Coliree Group’s pre-bid conference is extremely hard to get. With what’s going on
in Neveah Department Store now, it’s impossible for us to get an invitation!”Kingsley smirked upon
hearing that and said, “The invitation? I can get as many as I want!”“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!” As soon as he said
that, most of the people in the room couldn’t hold back theirughter.“Hahahaha! Are you out of your
mind?” Alexughed out loud while holding his stomach. “You can get as many as you want? Hahaha!Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Stop bluffing, will you? You’re really hrious!”rence sneered too. “A piece of garbage like you
probably doesn’t even know what kind ofpany the Coliree Group is, so how dare you speak so
arrogantly?!”When he heard the crowd’s mockingughter, Henry shouted, “Enough! Don’t waste time
listening to this ignorant prick anymore. Hurry up and sign the agreement!”“I’m not going to sign this
unfair—”Before Reene could finish her sentence, Elijah red at her coldly and interrupted, “Do you
want us to check thepany’s ounts in front of everybody, Reene? If there’s anything fishy about
it, we’ll send you along with your boy toy to prison!”“I’m a person with integrity, and I’ve done nothing
wrong! Just go ahead if you want to check the ounts!”“Sure! I’ve brought rk Corporation’s
treasurer along anyway!” Alex put on an evil smile. “It’s an easy task to tamper with the ounts when
we’re checking them. By then, I’ll see you siblings in prison! Think twice before you make a decision,
Reene.”“You b*stard!” Reene didn’t think that Alex would go to such lengths to bring her down. If she
was the only one involved, she would never surrender. However, since Elijah firmly believed that she
gave all the money to Kingsley, he wouldn’t be able to get away with it if they were to frame him.With
her trembling hands, she gave in. “Fine, I’ll sign it…”She could give everything up if it was for
Kingsley.“There’s no way you’re signing that!” Just then, Kingsley snatched the agreement from her
hands and shredded it!“The investors are going to be here soon, so this agreement will be
useless!”When he heard that, Henry’s face darkened. “Investors? What investors? I don’t think there’s
anyone around willing to invest in Reene.”“Don’t be angry, Grandpa. They’re just putting up ast-ditch
struggle!” Alex then said contemptuously, “I know that she has been to nearly all the investment
companies in Cleapolis, but none of them have taken her seriously!”The other Wynns chimed in and
said, “Hahaha, since the Jacob Family has already given the order, it’ll be impossible for her to get any
investments!”“My friend who’s working in the Humming Group told me that Reene was kicked out by
security, and she even fell. Imagine how embarrassed she must’ve been!”“Yeah, that’s what I heard
too. Now, everyone is avoiding her as though she’s the Grim Reaper!”When Reene heard their
remarks, her face turned pale and waspletely devoid of color.Vroom, vroom, vroom! At that
moment, the sound of a hypercar’s engine resonated from downstairs, cutting off their taunts.Following
that, the engine noise reverberated non-stop from far to near. The sound was so thunderous that it
could be heard clearly through the window on the ninth floor.Alex ran up to the window and looked
down, curious. The next moment, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and his eyes nearly popped
out of his head! “What the f*ck?! Where did all these hypercarse from?!”
