Chapter 556 Call Off the Engagement!
Chapter 556 Call Off the Engagement!
It was only at this moment that Reene realized that the Wynns were never truly her family.
All the kinship and warmth were nothing but lies.
The so-called family was nothing but chains that bound her life.
At that moment, she finally liberated herself from the invisible shackles that had tightly bound her hands and feet.
She only felt an immense sense of relief throughout her body.
"Thank you, Kingsley..." Tears glistened in Reene's beautiful eyes. "Oh, thank you. Really, thank you..."
"Reene, do we even need to talk about gratitude between us?" Kingsley grinned.
"I promised you that I'll deal with the Wynns. This is my commitment to you!"
As Reene's face beamed with happiness, Cecilia could not help but feel a mix of joy for her and a twinge of sadness in her heart.
Unlike Cecilia, Mia was seething with anger!
She fixed resentful eyes upon Reene and muttered, "Reene, you let Nicholson ruin my engagement banquet. I'll never forgive you for this!"
Clenching her fists, she turned to Nicholas and said, "Honey, after we get engaged, you must help me deal with that b*tch. I want to make her—"
Before she could finish her sentence, his expression turned sour, and he stepped back. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't proceed with our engagement."
As soon as his words fell, everyone, including Mia, was stunned. The groom suddenly calls off the engagement at the banquet? What's going on?!
Clarence was utterly confused. "Nicholas, what's going on? My family is on the verge of a fortune! Why are you suddenly calling off the engagement?!"
With a stiff expression, Nicholas arched his hands toward him respectfully. "Since your family is about to prosper, my family is no match for your status. I'm sorry!"
With that, he swung his sleeve and walked straight toward the hall entrance, leaving behind a stunned crowd of guests.
Although he walked away in strides, a sense of deep frustration was brewing within him in reality.
His original plan was to become engaged to Mia and gain direct control over the Wynn Family before negotiating with Kingsley.
As long as Kingsley could cure Helen's heart disease, the Wynns would not need that 150 million from Reene.
That way, Matt would not have to kneel and apologize to Kingsley.
However, with Kingsley bringing out 150 million, Nicholas' plan had completely crumbled.
Since the plan had been shattered, how could he proceed with an engagement to Mia, whom he had no genuine affection for?
"Honey!!!"
As Mia witnessed him heartlessly walking away, she felt her sanity slipping away. She fell to her knees, screaming and crying in agony, but Nicholas only quickened his pace. "Please, don't call off
the engagement!!! Why?! Why?!"
Witnessing her complete loss of composure, the surrounding guests sighed. "Young Master Nicholas' sudden cancellation of the engagement is heartless! How will she ever be able to marry into a respectable family in the future?"
"I believe he must have witnessed Mr. Nicholson's power and didn't want to provoke him, so he decided to sever ties with the Wynn Family by calling off the engagement directly!"
"Exactly! It's obvious that Mr. Nicholson and the Wynn Family are incompatible. He canceled the engagement to avoid offending anyone!"
At that moment, Cecilia recalled she once said to slap Mia twice in defense of Reene. However, Kingsley's words echoed in her mind, "Trust me, what I have planned for you will be far more satisfying than merely slapping her twice!" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
At that time, she did not understand his intentions. After witnessing Mia being reduced to a forsaken woman crying and trembling in public, she finally grasped the depth of his strategic foresight.
Cecilia quietly gave Kingsley a thumbs-up. "Kingsley, that's one bloodless kill you have there!"
