Chapter 545 The Last Straw
rence was greatly stunned.
His previously smug look was now clouded over.
With deeply furrowed brows, he asked incredulously, "M-Manager Turner, what did you say? You
want me to kneel before Reene and apologize to her on behalf of my family?!"
"That''s right. The big shot specifically stated that not a single p or word can be missed."
"I can''t do that!" rence''s face turned red. "I''m her uncle. How can an elder kneel to a younger
generation?!"
Today, he had nned to humiliate Reene and then seize rk Corporation back from her hands.
But now, he found himself being humiliated instead.
Naturally, he couldn''t bear such a tremendous gap in circumstances.
Meanwhile, James maintained his polite smile.
"The big shot mentioned that if you''re unwilling toply, it''s fine. In that case, we can only ask
your guests to leave and cancel the engagement banquet."
Upon hearing this, Nichs and Mia both eximed in unison, "No!"
If the engagement banquet was canceled, the Foxes wouldn''t be able to use the 150 million to
threaten Kingsley.
And Matt would have to kneel and kowtow to Kingsley.
As for Mia, she had always dreamed of marrying into the Fox Family.
Of course, she wouldn''t allow her engagement banquet to be canceled.
Therefore, the two of them were anxious.
Mia grabbed her father''s arm and cried, "Dad, this is a big event in my life! I''m afraid… you just
have to put up with it!"
She didn''t want to see her father kneel before Reene.
But as long as she could have her engagement banquet on the 60th floor and marry into the Fox
Family, she would disregard everything else.
Nichs also spoke up in a deep voice.
"That''s right, President Wynn. Hundreds of guests are waiting. If you let them down now, it''ll be hard
for your family to rise to power in the future.
"But if you kneel before Reene now, it''ll only be a loss of pride for you, not your entire family.
"Besides, once the engagement banquet is sessfully held, we will be one family. It will be
easier to deal with Reene then.
"At that time, you can torment her however you like and regain the pride that you lose today in
minutes."

A hint of sinister expression shed in Nichs'' eyes.
While they were discussing in low voices, beside them, Ysabel crossed her arms and sneered.
"rence, what''s there to hesitate about? What does it matter if you lose a little pride now?
"As long as you can go up to the 60th floor of Ramadater, you''ll have all the pride you need!"
rence''s body swayed, and he seemed to be about to lose his bnce.
The pleading of his daughter, the urging of his son-inw, Ysabel''s mockery, and the discontented
discussion of the guests around him made him dizzy.
Just then, Mia began to sob.
"Dad, this is about my lifelong happiness! If Mom were still alive, she would definitely kneel!"
This statement was like thest straw that broke the camel''s back.
It struck rence''s heart right away.
With his teeth gritted, rence looked at James. "I have onest question. Who is that big shot,
exactly?"
James just replied lightly, "You''ll find out when you go up there in a moment."
rence realized that James wouldn''t easily reveal the identity of the big shot.
If he wanted to know who was humiliating him like this, he had to go up and see for himself.
Thinking of this, rence clenched his fists and said, "Fine! For the happiness of my daughter, I''ll
do it!"
"Reene,e here! I''ll kneel to you!" He shot Reene a resentful look.
On the other hand, a sense of realization shed across Reene''s beautiful eyes.
She knew that the big shot in James'' mouth must be Kingsley.
Kingsley was taking revenge for her.
However, she felt awkward epting the kneeling of an elder in front of hundreds of people.
