The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 535 Fleeting Moments of Pride

"Do you not know her? She's the adopted daughter of the Wynns and also the president of Neveah!"

"Oh, so she's the famous female entrepreneur in Cleapolis! I can't believe she's this beautiful!"

However, there were also some people from second-class families who sneered.

"What's the use of being beautiful? She's just an orphan!"

"Yeah. She must have resorted to some underhanded means to become an entrepreneur!"

Listening to the discussions around her, Reene tightly clenched her fists, though her expression remained calm without a trace of disturbance.

She had heard such comments, both praises and insults, far too many times.

Although it still caused her pain and anger, she learned to conceal her inner turmoil with an air of nobility and aloofness.

Before long, most of the guests had arrived.

There were about five to six hundred guests in total.

The parking lot of Ramada Hotel was packed with vehicles of various brands and different levels of luxury.

Just then, someone exclaimed loudly, "Look, the Wynns are here! The engaged couple has arrived too!"

Immediately, everyone turned their heads toward the entrance.

Clarence strode in smilingly, wearing a black suit. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Behind him were Elijah and his wife, as well as Mia and Nicholas.

Clarence surveyed the bustling first-floor lobby. His smile stretched from ear to ear.

If he could have all those guests dine on the 60th floor of Ramada, it would undoubtedly elevate the status of the Wynn family to new heights.

As for the free venue rental and discounted catering fees, as long as he and the Fox Family kept it to themselves, no one would ever find out.

Everyone would simply assume that the Fox Family had made a grand gesture, and they would admire the Wynns for finding a powerful backer.

Thinking of this, Clarence beamed even more brightly. Loudly, he said, "Thank you all for attending my daughter's engagement banquet today!"

One by one, the crowd extended their congratulations.

"Congratulations, President Wynn, on finding such a promising son-in-law!"

"President Wynn, this is truly a cause for celebration! We can't help but feel envious!"

"Yeah, with the aid of the Foxes' Prime Corporation, the Wynns may become a first-class family one day!"

Listening to the compliments and flatteries from the crowd, Clarence couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, and his face glowed with satisfaction. It was as if he had shed several years off his appearance.

Elijah, who was standing behind Clarence, also had a wide grin on his face.

The opportunity for the rise of the Wynn family gave Elijah a sense of honor and pride too.

Seeing that, Ysabel shot him a fierce glare.

In a whisper, she scolded, "You fool! Why are you smiling?! After this engagement banquet, Clarence will surely eat up all your shares!"

Then, she glanced around to see whether Reene had arrived.

Reene was standing amidst the crowd and radiating an ethereal glow like a goddess.

Ysabel spotted her at once.

"Reene! Come over here!" called Ysabel while waving at Reene.

At the same time, Clarence and Mia revealed a sinister smirk.

They had already planned how to humiliate Reene later.

At the sight of Reene's elegant and noble appearance, Mia was even more irritated.

She believed that Reene had deliberately dressed up gorgeously to steal her thunder.

Just as Mia was glaring fiercely at Reene, someone asked, "Hey, why isn't President Fox here?"

Immediately, a discussion was sparked among the curious guests.

"That's right! It's his son's engagement today. How could he not be here?"

"Yeah, I was hoping to catch a glimpse of President Fox's distinguished presence!"

Most of the guests belonged to second-rate families, and many were classmates of Clarence and Elijah.

Apart from today, they had no chance to see the president of Prime Corporation in person.

Soon, everyone began firing questions.

Clarence turned to Nicholas and said, "Nicholas, why don't you tell them why President Fox isn't here today?"
