Chapter 561 Reene's Questioning
Originally, this entire banquet would have cost at most a few million as the hotels usually offer discounts for exclusive bookings like this.
The reason why James quoted such a high price was entirely under Kingsley's wishes.
Kingsley had specifically instructed him to raise the price several times to make Clarence spit out half of that 150 million!
Before Clarence could say anything else, the people around him started to make a fuss. "That's right, President Wynn. It's just a little over 75 million. You can definitely afford it!"
"Yeah! We came here today and haven't even had a drop of water. You can't let us leave with empty stomachs, can you?"
"Your family's reputation has been tarnished just now. Don't you want to restore it now?"
Listening to the clamor of voices demanding payment, Clarence cursed these people silently in his heart. They aren't the ones experiencing the pain here. But they did make a valid point. The reputation of the Wynns has been utterly tarnished. If I remain stubborn and refuse to pay, my family may never regain their dignity in Cleapolis.
At the thought of it, he gritted his teeth. "Fine! I'll pay for it!"
He handed the bank card to James. "Go ahead and swipe it!"
"Thank you, President Wynn." James had Frankie bring the card machine and swiftly processed the payment of over 75 million unhesitatingly!
As Clarence watched James' decisive action, he felt a sharp pang of pain from the loss of such a substantial amount of money.
Meanwhile, the surrounding guests' faces flushed with excitement!
After fussing for a whole afternoon, they could finally enjoy the top-notch luxurious banquet!
At the same time, Kingsley had already driven back home with Reene.
They both got out of their respective cars and entered the villa together.
As they sat on the sofa, she finally had the chance to ask, "Kingsley, what exactly happened today? Those things... were they all prepared by you?" From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, Reene. From now on, you don't have to worry about the troubles of the Wynns anymore."
Kingsley sat beside her and asked with a smile, "Do you feel a sense of being debt-free?"
Reene leaned against the back of the sofa, relaxing her body.
"Yeah, it's been almost ten years, and now I finally feel like I'm living for myself..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly asked, "Kingsley, did you give the Wynn Family 150 million? How did you manage to do it?"
"Well... There isn't 150 million." Kingsley rubbed his chin.
"Only the 1.5 million brought by Cecilia is real. There's no money in that card, actually."
"What?!" Reene was shocked. "But didn't Clarence call the bank? How did you deceive him?"
Kingsley chuckled. "It's a coincidence. The president of Solaris Bank is the father of one of my comrades! With the help of the bank president, it's easy to fool Clarence!"
She furrowed her eyebrows. "But... if Clarence finds out the truth, he won't just let it go, will he?"
"Reene, don't worry. He won't discover the truth!" Kingsley said.
"I've made this matter seamless. Don't worry about it!"
When one tells one lie, one has to tell ten thousand lies to cover it up.
Kingsley could only pat his chest to assure Reene that everything would be fine, but he could not explain further and just hoped she would not ask any more questions...
Fortunately, she had always trusted Kingsley unconditionally.
Hearing his vague words at this moment, she nodded.
"Since you're confident, I don't want to create any more complications either..."
"Of course!" Kingsley breathed a sigh of relief. "Reene, you can trust me whenever I handle things! There won't be any more unexpected situations!"
Just when he thought he could get away with this matter like this...
