I Am the Ruler of All

To make up for the shortfall, Reene visited all of the investment companies in Cleapolis from sunrise to sundown. However, none of them were willing to invest in her company as they didn’t want to offend the Jacob Family.

Her last resort was to return to the Wynn Family and seek her grandfather’s help.

As Henrich Wynn sat on his armchair, a light flickered in his eyes. “It’s not impossible for me to temporarily get you through your difficulties… However, the funds withdrawn by the Jacob Family are not a small amount, and the Wynn Family can’t help you unconditionally, can we?

His words clearly meant that Reene wasn’t part of the Wynn Family.

Her gaze darkened. “Grandpa, you don’t have to make up for the shortfall all at once. You just have to invest a portion of funds for the company to operate normally. I’m confident that we will be able to get through this! Neveah Department Store is a product of my hard work, and I will never let it go down. If you’re willing to help me get through this, I’m willing to pay the price!” Reene pleaded.

“Hahaha! Since you’ve brought it up, I might consider it.”

He then looked over at Clarence and asked, “Clarence, do you have any thoughts about this? Please share them with us.”

“Clark Corporation would be able to fund the money, but as a condition, you’ll have to transfer eighty percent of Neveah Department Store’s shares to me!” Clarence let out a sinister smile before continuing, “Moreover, you’ll have to let Alex be the chairman of the company!”

“Eighty percent of the shares…” Reene’s red lips trembled as she was caught in a dilemma.

“Why? Are you not willing to do so? In that case, we shall wait for the demise of Neveah Department Store!” Alex scoffed.

His words were like a sharp knife, stabbing right into her heart. She’d never let her hard work go down the drain!

“Sure! I promise to give you eighty percent of the shares, as well as the position of chairman. However, I must participate in making important decisions for the company!” Reene gritted her teeth.

Clarence laughed smugly, “Hahaha! That won’t be an issue. I’ll get someone to draft the transfer contract over the next few days, and we shall sign it at Neveah Department Store in three days!”

Meanwhile, Kingsley had no idea about the difficulties that Reene was facing. Currently, he was on his way to the suburbs; after dinner, he had received a phone call from Gavin notifying him that Henrich was in Cleapolis.

The Tanner Mansion was located in the suburbs, and it was designed with a vintage touch to it.

In one of the rooms on the second floor of the mansion, Henrich was seen sitting on a luxurious cushion while playing chess. His second son, George Tanner, and his third daughter, Chermaine Tanner, were standing next to him.

Even though Henrich was almost in his eighties, he was still full of energy like a sixty-year-old.

After Gavin brought Kingsley into the room, he bowed respectfully. “Father, Kingsley is here.”

The next moment, one of the chess pieces dropped on the chess board.

As Henrich slowly raised his head, he saw Kingsley standing upright by the door. “Are you the descendant of the Nicholson Family?” he asked.
