The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 533 The Conflict Between Reene and Victoria

Reene brought a pot of fruit tea from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table.

"It seems that this new director of yours has quite a peculiar temperament. In the future, he might be even stricter with you guys."

"Yeah. Although he was demoted to a small city like Cleapolis, he's still from a prominent family in Seavale.

"For sure, his temperament is different from us ordinary people!

"Alas, I really miss Director Church now. Although his son, Zayne, is no good, Director Church himself was reasonable to deal with."

Seeing Alice's worried expression, Kingsley sat beside her and comforted her.

"Alice, don't worry. I've got your back. You don't have to put up with anyone!

"If Director Arison dares to make trouble for you, I'll make sure that he suffers even more than his son!"

Alice pursed her lips and leaned her head on Kingsley's shoulder.

She murmured, "Kinglsey, you're the best. I feel safe and less worried now. Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Alice stopped and sat up straight, puzzled. "How did you know our new director is named Arison?"

"Uh..."

Kingsley thought to himself that it was, of course, because he was the one who had the new director's son, Clive, lose the leg.

However, he couldn't tell Alice that and could only come up with a perfunctory explanation.

"Well, you mentioned it just now. Or how else would I know who your new director is? I can't predict things out of thin air."

"Really? Did I mention his name?" Alice rubbed her temples. "Ugh, it seems that I'm really exhausted today. My mind is all confused."

Just then, a sizzling sound came from the kitchen.

It was the sound of food being stir-fried.

Soon, the aroma of the dishes started to waft through the air.

"It smells so good!" Alice sniffed.

"When I have money, I'm definitely going to buy a super big house and move in with you, Reene, and Serena!

"That way, I can get to eat Reene's cooking every day!"

Kingsley beamed. "I'll make sure that happens! And let's have Victoria, Yulia, Jessica, and Courtney live with us too!"

However, hearing that, Alice froze for a moment.

She glanced at the kitchen and pressed her index finger to her lips as a signal for silence.

"Shh! Thank goodness, Reene is cooking with the range hood on and didn't hear what you said!" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"What do you mean? What can't she hear?" asked Kingsley, puzzled.

"You don't know yet? Reene had a slight disagreement with Victoria before, and they haven't talked for a long time," whispered Alice.

Kingsley furrowed his brows and asked, "What disagreement? What happened?"

"It was when Reene was about to be adopted by the Wynns. Victoria didn't agree. Victoria said since she didn't like studying, she could start working to make money to support Reene and us to go to school."

With a sigh, Alice continued, "But Reene didn't want Victoria to drop out of school because of her, so they had a big fight.

"Victoria has a strong personality. She left the orphanage and formed Jeanne Gang later."

Upon hearing this, Kingsley had a rough understanding of what had happened.

Victoria must have been worried about Reene being mistreated by the Wynns, so she strongly opposed the adoption.

However, Reene, who was used to taking care of her siblings, wouldn't want Victoria to sacrifice the future for her education.

Therefore, she wouldn't allow Victoria to drop out of school to start working.

Despite being in different domains, one in the business world and the other in the underworld, they both had strong personalities as empowered women and neither was willing to back down.

Kingsley glanced at Reene who was busy in the kitchen and lowered his voice.

"But they were both doing it for each other's good! How did it escalate to such a standoff?"

Alice explained, "Well, at the time, they were both in their rebellious teenage phase!

"After such a fierce fight, they naturally wouldn't consider whether the other person was actually doing it for their own good."
