The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 34

When Kingsley returned home, Keene 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 Peking 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."
