I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 38

Everyone was beyond flabbergasted upon hearing that all these big shots were fighting to fund Neveah, and Alex even struggled to swallow as he muttered in bewilderment. "I-I must be hearing things. That's a total of 1.2 billion!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

1.2 billion to a second-class family like the Wynns was a totally unimaginable figure!

Henry was dumbfounded, and so were the Wynn brothers. In fact, everyone was beyond shocked!

They simply couldn't understand how the exhausted and cornered Neveah Department Store could suddenly receive so much funding from so many big shots!

Just then, Charlie dropped another bomb. "Along with the total of 1.2 billion from all of our presidents here, Humming Group will add another 1.2 billion to your funds, doubling the whole investment!" he said to Reene.

Everyone flipped upon hearing the announcement.

Just how deep is the Humming Group's pocket?! How is he able to double the others' funding with such ease?!

"Pfft!" The announcement overwhelmed Henry so much that he spewed a mouthful of blood. 2.4 billion! Why invest in a land-rented mall like Neveah when that money is enough to erect a few new megamalls?!

Reene was beyond gobsmacked as she hurriedly waved her hands. "President Dean, 2.4 billion is far too much… I only need twenty million to revive Neveah…"

Good grief, she hadn't said anything, and they had already offered a hundred and twenty times more than the required funding!

It was so hard to believe that she thought she was dreaming.

Charlie burst into laughter at her words. "You shouldn't just aim for reviving it, Miss Wynn. We've all seen what you can accomplish. With this funding, I believe you can turn Neveah into Solaris Province's biggest chain mall!"

"But—" Just as Reene wanted to say more, Alex cut her off. "Are you dumb, Reene? How can you turn down their money?"

He approached Charlie, buttering up to him as he said, "President Dean, Reene will be transferring all of Neveah's shares to Clark Corporation shortly. Why don't you just use this 2.4 billion to invest in Clark Corporation instead? I guarantee the proceeds will be far greater than investing it in Neveah—"

Meanwhile, Clarence and Henry looked yearningly at Charlie, but no one had thought that the man would only give Alex a cold, dismissive gaze. "This money has nothing to do with Clark Corporation! If Neveah's shares aren't in Miss Wynn's hands, we won't fund even a single penny!"

What a joke! Everyone only funded this much money because of Kingsley. Otherwise, we wouldn't even bother ourselves with a second-class family like you guys!

When he saw how ghastly Alex looked, Charlie announced coldly, "Let me make this clear—the 2.4 billion is for Miss Wynn! If any of you guys are thinking of devising some scheme to seize the shares,

we will collectively pursue legal responsibility against the Wynn Family!"

Henry, Clarence, and Alex's faces paled upon hearing Charlie's words.

The Wynn Family couldn't do anything but brace themselves if one of these big shots ever decided to fight them, so what more when they all came at once?!

Charlie's words had completely severed their thoughts of ever seizing Neveah.

With that, a dejected Henry nodded. "Don't worry, President Dean. We won't lay a finger on Neveah's shares!"

"That's right… Look, the contract has even been ripped apart!" Clarence pointed toward the contract Kingsley had shredded. "Neveah is forever Reene's. Forever…"

Elijah, on the other hand, felt nothing but regret when he saw how the tables had turned. If he had known Reene would end up forever owning Neveah instead of being screwed, he wouldn't have clashed with her before this.

With that, he tentatively buttered up to Reene. "Uh… Reene, I'll ask your mom to cook up a feast, so why don't you come back for dinner?"

"Sorry, I have lots to do!" Her tone was beyond cold as she had become utterly disappointed.

Thump! Elijah immediately kneeled before Reene and cried, "I was wrong, Reene! Please forgive me for this once. After all, I helped you in the past…"

Reene's face turned glum. This again! This man really knows my weak spot!

"Don't worry. I won't disregard you before I return the one hundred million to you."

Elijah instantly beamed and got up at that.

However, Alex wasn't going to leave things at this. "You have 2.4 billion in your hands, yet you're planning to only return us a mere one hundred million?! I'll have you know that without us, you would've probably been dead in some dark alley, let alone study in a university!"

Henry nodded and fanned the flames. "That's right. You have to return at least one billion! We won't interfere in any of your businesses again if you give us one billion!"

Reene was beyond livid at her adopted family's shamelessness.

How could there be such shameless people in this world!?

Kingsley, on the other hand, frowned. "You guys have nothing to do here anymore, so leave before I get angry!"

"You son of a—"

Before Alex could finish cursing, Charlie snapped, "We still need to sign the contract with Miss Wynn. Anyone who has nothing to do with our business, leave now!"

Similarly, Donovan spoke up. "Stay, and I will sue you with theft of trade secrets!"

With that, Reene looked at Henry coldly. "You heard them, Grandpa. You guys can forget about ever obtaining Neveah! If you don't want any trouble, please take all these sc*mbags and get out of my office now!"
