On the ground floor, rows of luxury cars entered Neveah’s parking lot one after another, making the
spectacle only second to an auto show.
There was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Bentley Mulsanne Extended, and even a Ferrari F8.
Nearly all of Cleapolis’ grandest cars had come together!
“T-This… W-What…” Alex was so awestruck that he could barely stutter a word.
“What is it?”
“What’s happening?”
Seeing Alex’s reaction, the Wynn brothers went up to the window.
Meanwhile, Elijah choked upon seeing the grand ‘auto show’ on the ground floor, causing him to cough
violently. “W-What in the world is going on?!” he exclaimed with a flushed face.
Just then, Clarence pointed to a gray Porsche Macan as his eyes widened with incredulity. “I know that
car! That’s President Galey of Cleapolis Trust Investment’s ride!”
Even Henry couldn’t sit still anymore when he heard ‘Cleapolis Trust Investment’, and he shot right up
with his hands propped onto the table. “President Galey has come to Neveah?!” he exclaimed while
staggering to the window, stretching his neck to get a better view of the ground floor.
Everyone gasped in the next second, for they were watching the mighty president of Cleapolis Trust
Investment following differentially behind a middle-aged man.
“W-Who’s that?!” Henry and his sons exchanged a glance in horror, but none of them knew who this
big shot was.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of priceless luxury cars had parked right below them, and everyone who
stepped out of the cars were dressed lavishly and exuded utmost class.
“Have they… come to shop at Neveah?” Alex asked while continuously rubbing his eyes with
incredulity.
“Impossible!” Clarence denied it in two shakes. “Cleapolis Trust alone has a handful of megamalls. As if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey would even think about buying anything from this measly mall.”
However, just as he finished his words, the group of men and women in suits came toward the office
building.
“They’re walking toward us!”
“They haven’t come to buy out Neveah, have they?!”
The Wynns were shocked and terrified, whereas Reene was dumbfounded.
All of them were basically big shots among major investment companies!
Meanwhile, she had gone door to door, begging them to invest in Neveah just a couple of days ago.
However, all of them had shut her out!
Thus, it was only within reason that Reene’s mind was blank upon seeing that they had all gathered in
front of her office building.
On the other hand, Kingsley simply smiled when he saw how baffled his sister was. “What did I tell you,
Reene? See, the investors have arrived!”
The Wynns froze at his words, and Elijah’s jaw even tremored. “D-Did y-you just say that they are the
investors you brought over?”
“How is that possible?!” Alex sneered. “He’s nothing but a scoundrel. As if he knows all these big
shots!”
Clarence nodded and affirmed, “Yeah, even only I know a couple of them. As if a twenty-year-old
orphan has what it takes to have these big shots come over!”
Soon after, a series of footsteps came from outside.
Those big shots had ridden the elevator up to the president’s office!
“Go on! Welcome them, hurry up!” Henry cried out.
Following their patriarch’s words, the Wynns immediately scrambled to the door, welcoming all the rich
big shots deferentially.
The first to enter was none other than Donavan Galey of Cleapolis Trust Investment.
At that, Clarence hurriedly reached both of his hands out to greet him deferentially. “Hello there,
President Galey. What brings—”
Before Clarence could even finish his words, Donovan walked right past him without even sparing him
a glance.
Clarence’s face paled in turn, and he was speechless upon being shrugged off like a piece of dust.
Meanwhile, a dozen of fashionably dressed middle-aged men and women came in one after another
behind Donovan.
Without exception, every one of them ignored the Wynns.
The last person to enter was Humming Group’s Charlie Dean, and his muscles stiffened upon seeing
Kingsley. Just as he pulled a fawning beam and was about to greet Kingsley, the latter shook his head
to a barely noticeable degree.
If his sister found out he still went to Humming Group when she had already said no, she might be
pissed off at him, and he didn’t want that from Reene.
Since he was a shrewd guy, Charlie instantly shifted his direction and walked up to Reene.
“Hello, Miss Wynn. I’m Charlie Dean, president of Humming Group.”
The Wynns were all dumbfounded upon hearing the middle-aged man’s introduction.
Humming Group was Cleapolis’ number one investment company, and President Dean was worth tens
of billions at least.
Flattered, Reene immediately returned the handshake. “Pleased to meet you, President Dean…”
Henry took the opportunity to go up to the two. He then introduced himself to Charlie, saying, “Hello,
President Dean. I’m the head of the Wynn Family, Henry. My family’s Clark Corporation—”
However, Charlie cut Henry off without hesitation before he could even finish his words. “The head of
the Wynn Family? You’re still not worthy enough to talk to me directly!”
The whole Wynn Family—Henry included—were at a loss for words. In fact, the man was mortified.
However, there was nothing he could say in response since Charlie was right.
Clark Corporation’s market value was only worth about tens of millions. They were indeed unworthy to
speak before the great Humming Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVery quickly, the other big shots introduced themselves to Reene one after another.
“Hello, Miss Wynn. I’m Lennox Spencer of Evergreen Investment.”
“Greetings, Miss Wynn. I’m Brooklyn Zeller of Encore Investment.”
“Afternoon, Miss Wynn. I’m Callan Switt of Rosebank Advisors.”
……
…
While the imposing big shots introduced themselves to Reene with a smile, the Wynns grew
increasingly stupefied at every mention of their renowned names and companies.
Alex even gave himself a solid slap, thinking that he was dreaming. “What’s going on?! Have they all
come for Reene?!”
Clarence, too, was very much bewildered. “T-They haven’t really come to invest in Neveah, have
they?!”
As though affirming their doubts, President Spencer of Evergreen Investment spoke up first. “Miss
Wynn, we have looked through your funding application, and we think Neveah’s future is very
promising. As such, we’ve decided to fund one hundred million.”
What?! One hundred million?!
The announcement rendered the Wynns frozen stiff as though they had turned into fossils.
Henry’s facial muscles were even twitching non-stop!
Neveah was nothing but a small department store, and one hundred million was enough to buy it out
dozens of times!
Likewise, the announcement came like a bolt in the blue to Reene, and she thought her heart would
jump out of her chest at any moment now.
However, that wasn’t all. After Lennox spoke up, the others followed suit.
“Encore Investment will also fund one hundred million!”
“Rosebank Advisors too—we’ll invest one hundred million!”
“One hundred million from Summit International Management as well!”
