When Kingsley returned home, Reene was dressed in a satin night dress and sitting on the couch in a

daze. Thinking that she would need to surrender Neveah Department Store at noon the day after

tomorrow, she felt depressed.

“Reene.” The man sat beside her and spoke gently. “Don’t worry, there will definitely be investments

coming in when they see your capability.” He didn’t tell her about what happened earlier since she

didn’t want him to visit the Humming Group, so he could only wait until noon the day after tomorrow. By

then, he’d fix everything for her right off the bat.

Reene shook her head and said, “I’ve already asked everyone I could possibly ask for help, but none of

them are willing to go against the Jacob Family—” She flipped her long, wavy hair to one side of her

shoulder and lay down on his lap before lamenting, “My work all these years is about to fall into ruins

—”

When Kingsley heard that, he comforted her while patting her arm, “Everything’s going to be fine. Trust

me.”

At this moment, the doorbell destroyed their peaceful moment. Both Elijah and Ysabel’s screams

resonated from outside. “Reene! Open up! Open the f*cking door right now!”

When she heard her adoptive parents’ voices, she sat up sharply. “Why are they here?” She flitted to

the door and opened it.

Even before she could say anything, Ysabel pushed her and walked straight into the house, making

Reene stumble. “Where is that b*stard?! Ask him to come out now!” Elijah followed behind Ysabel,

entering the house with a darkened face.

Once they were inside, they marched right up to Kingsley as he sat on the couch. “You murderer! Get

out of here now!” Elijah pointed at Kingsley and bellowed, “Do you know how much trouble you’ve

caused us after killing Gordon from the legal department?!”

Following that, Ysabel sat on the carpet and hit her thigh while crying, “How can we continue to live like

this? You’ve really made our lives miserable!”

As he looked at the chaos, Reene frowned and asked, “Mum, Dad, can you explain what’s going on?

What does Gordon’s death have anything to do with you?”

“His family came to us and asked for five million in compensation!” Elijah glared at her in fury. “Your

grandpa has already made a statement that we cannot let this matter affect the Wynn Family’s

reputation! We can either hand this prick over—it’s an eye for an eye, after all—or we’ll need to pay the

five million on our own!”

When Ysabel heard the words ‘five million’, she started to make a scene again while sitting on the

ground. “I’ve never earned this much money in my entire life! Asking five million from us is like asking

us to die!”

At this moment, Reene was feeling troubled too. If this happened in the past, borrowing five million

from the company was not a big deal, but now that Neveah Department Store was on the verge of

bankruptcy, wanting to borrow five million from the company had become an impossible task.

“Mom, Dad, I’ll figure out a way.” She bit her lower lip and continued, “I’ll see if I can borrow some

money from my friends. It may be enough after adding it together with my savings.”

Hearing that, Ysabel finally stopped her sobbing and got up from the ground. “Do it now! Immediately! I

need five million today!”

“Mom, it’s five million, not five thousand! How can I collect so much money in one night?” Her facial

expression revealed her distress. “How about this? Give me two days, and I will return the money to

you for sure.”

“No way!” Elijah stated categorically. “We don’t believe you! I already know that Neveah Department

Store is going down! What if you flee with this b*stard? Who am I going to get the money from?”

He glared at Reene furiously and said, “If I knew that you couldn’t even handle a department store, I

wouldn’t have sponsored or even adopted you in the first place! D*mn it! I thought I had adopted a

business prodigy, but you just ended up losing all of my f*cking money!”

“That’s right! You even said you’d return a hundred million to us!” Ysabel shouted bitterly. “Why can’t

you just take out five million now?!”

With her eyes reddened from their criticism, Reene clenched her fist and gnashed her teeth, saying,

“Don’t worry, for I’ve never owed anyone anything! I’ll definitely return the hundred million I promised

you! By that time, I’ll leave the Wynn Family in an instant, and I won’t stay even if you beg me to!”

Ysabel rolled her eyes and said, “Okay, okay. There’s no need for you to bluff. Just give us the five

million now. Otherwise, just let this b*stard pay for it with his life!”

“Fine! I’ll borrow it now!” Reene grabbed her phone from the couch, ready to call Cecilia.

Since Cecilia was the eldest daughter of the Larson Family, her personal savings should go up to one

or two million. However, even if they were best friends, Reene couldn’t just ask Cecilia to lend her all

her savings.

Just as Reene was struggling on the inside, Kingsley snatched her phone and said in a deep voice,

“Reene, I’m the one who killed Gordon. I’ll pay the compensation.”

“Where can you get so much money from?” She tried to take her phone back. “It’s okay. I can figure

this out.”

With a smile, he then explained, “I’ve been in the military for so many years. Naturally, I have five

million. It’s not that big of a sum, after all.”

Shocked, Reene’s mouth widened slightly as she asked, “You have five million in your savings?”

Before Kingsley could answer, Ysabel sneered and said, “Just five million? He’s obviously boasting!

I’ve never heard of anyone earning up to five million just by being in the military.”

“That’s right! Brandon Baxton is an old classmate of mine. His son is a platoon leader of the Solaris

Military District, and he only earns about two hundred thousand annually!” Elijah had contempt written

all over his face. “You don’t even have a rank, so how dare you claim to have earned five million?”

“Who says that I don’t have a rank?!”
