The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 8

"Old Master Wynn is here!"

Alex and Mia stood up under Clarence's lead, welcoming the patriarch of their family.

Henry might be over seventy now, but he was still in the pink.

After sitting down next to his eldest with a loving face, he swept his gaze across the room, saying with contentment, "Good. With so many family members, we, the Wynns, will surely have an even more prosperous future!"

Just then, he froze for a split second and turned to Mia. "Mia, why hasn't your fiance arrived? It's been a long while since I last saw him!"

"Grandpa, Ethan was suddenly summoned home, saying there's something immediate they have to deal with, and he might be late." "Is that so..." Henry nodded. "The Windsors are a big family, so it's only natural that they're busy with work. Let's wait for a while. We'll start the banquet when he comes!"

Kingsley frowned upon hearing it. What condescending f*cker is so high and mighty that the entire Wynn Family is willing to wait for him?

Just then, Henry noticed a stranger amongst them at the table.

"And this is..."

Keene hurriedly introduced Kingsley, speaking deferentially, "Grandpa, this is my brother from the orphanage."

"And also her future husband," Kingsley added almost instantly.

"Knock it off." Keene gave him a kick under the table.

"Is that so?" Henry shot a disdainful glance at Kingsley before reprimanding Keene. "I was wondering why Neveah's sales dropped so drastically. So you've neglected work for love!" "It's not like that, Grandpa. The Roseland

Chamber of Commerce—"

But before she could finish her words, Alex butted in. "That's enough, Beene Wynn. All the money you used to start your business came from our family. No way will we just sit and watch you neglect your duty. So you better hurry up and hand Neve ah over."

The other relatives hurriedly echoed Alex's condemnation.

"Yeah, don't be the dog in the manger when you're incompetent! Have you no shame?!"

"Our family's business should naturally be managed by one of us. Even if you've changed your last name, you're still an untrustworthy outsider."

"You guys..." With eyes red-rimmed, Beene screamed, "I've worked day and night to build Neve ah from nothing. Even if the Wynn Family had provided me with the start-up fund, I've long returned it all after all these years."

"That's enough!" Henry slammed the table. "Everyone, shut up!"

Just as the tension was at its max, someone pushed the door open, breaking the frozen atmosphere.

"Sorry, I'm late," the dashing young man apologized like a true gentleman.

Everyone began whispering in awe as soon as they saw who it was.

"So he's Mia's fiance, Young Master Ethan of the Windsor family?!"

"I heard he had just returned from studying in Mittera. Surely his future will be limitless!"

"Goodness, the Windsor Family is one of the top ten families of the city! Who'd have thought Mia could play up to a family like that?!"

Ethan's nose was now even higher in the air, basking in the crowd's envious gazes.
