“What’s your rank?” Elijah asked while crossing his arms in front of his chest. “I won’t believe you with
only your words. Show me your military uniform with the epaulet!”
“My military uniform is guarded by people assigned from the Secret Service of Military Headquarters,
and I only wear it on special occasions.”
As Kingsley said that, Ysabel sneered aloud. “Pfft, you’re really good at boasting! I’ve never heard
about a military uniform needing to be guarded. Well, unless it’s encrusted with gold, of course.”
With a nod, he answered affirmatively, “Indeed. Not only that, the star emblem on my military hat is
encrusted with the highest grade of Kohinoor Diamond.”
“Hahaha!” His answer got Ysabel roaring with laughter. “Are you really talking about the Kohinoor
Diamond? There are only three of them in this whole world, and you’re saying that one of them is on
your hat?!”
“Enough!” Elijah showed impatience in his expression. “I don’t want to hear this b*stard talking crap
anymore! Transfer the five million to my bank account right now, Reene. Otherwise, I won’t move an
inch from here!” As he said that, he pulled Ysabel to sit with him on the couch, and their rogue-looking
expressions showed their determination to get what they wanted.
Kingsley was tired of explaining further to them, so he simply said, “Give me your bank account
number.”
Contemptuously, Elijah looked up and said, “70128975…” After he told him the numbers, he smiled
sardonically before saying, “If you can get me the five million, you prick, I’ll chop my head off and let
you kick it like a ball!”

After a few moments, he lifted his head and looked at Elijah coldly. “Don’t forget what you said; if I can
get you the five million, your head will be mine!”
Just then, Elijah received a message. At first, he thought it was just some spam advertisement, so he
simply took a glance. However, when he looked closer, he was so shocked that his eyes popped out!
The message stated, ‘Your bank account ending 1027 has received a transaction amount of 5,000,000
on June 23. Your balance after the transaction is 5,205,000. Solaris Bank.’
The five million had been transferred!
He gasped in shock. “Y-You really have five million in your account?!” It was totally beyond his
expectations that an orphan in his twenties could take out such a huge amount of money!
When Ysabel strained her neck to see the message on the phone, she became stunned as well.
However, almost immediately, she put her hands on her waist and scolded Reene, “You ungrateful
b*tch! Did you take all the money from the company for this guy?! I was wondering why Neveah
Department Store was going bankrupt all of a sudden. It seems like you’re the one playing tricks!”
Elijah caught what she said immediately and chimed in, “F*ck! Given all these years that we’ve raised
you, you’re still so ungrateful! I can’t believe that you gave all the money to this prick, but not to the
ones who raised you!”
As he was scolding her, a wicked idea formed in his mind. “You have embezzled quite a lot of the
company’s funds, right? Give them all to me! Otherwise, I’ll let everyone in the family know about this!”
Since Clarence’s company, the Clark Corporation, was going to take over Neveah Department Store,
he planned to get whatever he could now.
Reene started to tremble in fury. “I didn’t! I’ve never taken a penny from the company’s funds for
myself! In fact, it was the Wynns who embezzled the funds, bringing difficulties to the company’s
development!”
“You’re not willing to give us the money, eh?” Elijah reached out his hand and pointed at her, saying,
“You’ve taken so much for yourself, but you aren’t willing to give us anything?”
“I’ve never taken anything! What do you want from me?!” Reene was on the verge of breaking down.
“You’re such an ungrateful b*tch!” Elijah put on a devilish look. “Just wait until the day after tomorrow
when you hand over Neveah Department Store! I’ll get them to check the company’s account on the
spot! If I find out that you took even a penny from the Wynns, you can be prepared to go to prison!”
After all, Reene would be of no use once Clarence’s family took over Neveah Department Store. Since
he couldn’t get his money, he would just make things ugly! With that, he slammed the door and left
after threatening her.
While she looked at the closed door, Reene lowered her body gradually and hugged her knees before
she started sobbing. She had always considered them her family and always felt thankful and grateful
toward them.
Despite how they manipulated her, she had never uttered a word of complaint. Sadly, even after all
those years of selfless devotion, she didn’t expect them to treat her like this in the end.
Just then, Kingsley bent down, carried her in his arms, and put her down on the couch gently.
With her blushing face, Reene tidied up her messy nightwear and wiped her tears before asking,

off.” Even when she was in despair, Kingsley was still the first person she worried about.
“It’s all my savings. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” He stared at her eyes quietly. “Trust me;
Neveah Department Store will not be taken away, and the Wynns who have been bullying you will learn
their lesson.”
……
…
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Early in the morning, Henry had already brought Clarence, Elijah, and the other members of the Wynn
Family to Neveah Department Store.
It was the Wynn Family’s second major business after Clark Corporation, which was why they valued
this takeover.
When they reached the president’s office on the top floor, greediness and excitement could be seen
crawling all over Alex’s face. After today, he would be the president here. Getting this big of a company
without making any effort made him laugh in his dreams.
As they entered the office, Reene got up from the chair immediately. “Grandpa, Uncle Clarence, Dad.”
Right then, Alex strode toward her and grabbed her clothes, dragging her out from the president’s desk
as he yelled arrogantly, “How dare you stand behind this desk when Grandpa is here?! Show some
respect!”
“Let go of your hand!” Reene shrugged his hands off. “You’re being outrageous!!”
Alex showed an indifferent attitude while he pursed his lips. “So what if I’m outrageous? You’re getting
out of here soon, and there’ll be no place for you in the Wynn Family anymore!”
