Chapter 544 The Big Shot's Request
Among the people present, only Ysabel and Megan had gloating smiles on their faces.
One was happy to see the Wynns' misfortune, while the other was happy to watch Nicholas being embarrassed.
At this moment, the two of them found themselves in the same boat.
Meanwhile, Reene felt a jolt in her heart.
She vaguely realized that this might be a part of Kingsley's lesson to the Wynns.
Just then, James walked into the hall with measured steps.
As soon as Nicholas saw the manager, he immediately approached, suppressing his anger through gritted teeth.
"Manager Turner, what is this?! Didn't you tell me that my father was selected as a lucky guest and that I could hold my engagement banquet on the 60th floor?!"
"Lucky guest?" James curled his lips faintly. "Young Master Nicholas, are you sure you didn't get a telephone scam?"
Hearing that, Nicholas was infuriated.
If it hadn't been for Ramada's powerful background, he would have thrown a fist at James now!
Telephone scam?
This is clearly a trap set for me!
Just as Clarence and Mia were on the verge of having a mental breakdown, James continued in a collected manner.
"The big shot who is hosting the banquet on the 60th floor today said that if President Wynn can fulfill a request of his, he will allow you to bring your guests upstairs for the feast."
Instantly, Mia's eyes lit up.
She quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Manager Turner, what about me? Can I still hold my engagement banquet on the 60th floor?"
James nodded. "Of course. Once President Wynn fulfills the request of that big shot, you can hold your engagement banquet right after the big shot's event!"
Finally, Mia saw some hope. She grabbed Clarence's arm and pleaded, "Dad! My happiness and dignity are entirely up to you now!"
Clarence was also slightly excited. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Manager Turner, do you know what's the request of that big shot?"
James didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked around and asked respectfully, "May I ask where Miss Reene Wynn is?"
The moment James brought up Reene's name, everyone was slightly taken aback.
They wondered why did he suddenly mention the adopted daughter of the Wynns at such a critical moment.
Like everyone, Mia was puzzled. "Manager Turner, I'm the main character of today's banquet! Why are you asking about that orphan?"
James shot her a cold glare and ignored her.
With a respectful tone, he continued to call, "Is Miss Reene Wynn here?"
Amid the crowd, Ysabel hurriedly pushed Reene forward and answered, "Here she is! Reene is right here!"
Reene was pushed by her adoptive mother toward James. Still puzzled, she asked, "Manager Turner, does this have anything to do with me?"
"Of course, it does." James bowed slightly to Reene.
"The task assigned by that big shot requires Miss Wynn's assistance alongside President Wynn."
Hearing this, everyone seemed even more puzzled.
"Manager Turner, what is it exactly? Please just tell us!" urged Clarence, who had become more anxious. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"It's quite simple, President Wynn."
Pointing to the stage, James continued, "The big shot would like you to kneel before Miss Wynn on the stage and slap yourself in the face 20 times with force.
"And after each slap, you're required to shout 'President Reene Wynn, I apologize to you on behalf of the Wynns.'"
As soon as James said that, the hall fell into silence.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
…
Nearly a minute passed.
Finally, the guests erupted into waves of astonished exclamations.
"What?! Am I hearing this right? They want Clarence to kneel before Reene?!"
"Oh my gosh! Clarence doesn't even treat his brother with respect, and now he has to kneel before his brother's adopted daughter?!"
"And he has to slap himself! What kind of deep grudge and resentment is this?!"
