The Established Siblings Of The Pack

Chapter 8

his gaze across the room, saying with contentment, “Good. With so many family members, we, the Wynns, will surely have an even more prosperous future!”Just then, he froze for a split second and turned to Mia. “Mia, why hasn’t your fiancé arrived? It’s been a long while since I last saw him!”“Grandpa, Ethan was suddenly summoned home, saying there’s something immediate they have to deal with, and he might be late.”“Is that so…” Henry nodded. “The Windsors are a big family, so it’s only natural that they’re busy with work. Let’s wait for a while. We’ll start the banquet when he comes!”Kingsley frowned upon hearing it. What condescending f*cker is so high and mighty that the entire Wynn Family is willing to wait for him?Just then, Henry noticed a stranger amongst them at the table.“And this is…”Reene hurriedly introduced Kingsley, speaking deferentially, “Grandpa, this is my brother from the orphanage.”“And also her future husband,” Kingsley added almost instantly.“Knock it off.” Reene gave him a kick under the table.“Is that so?” Henry shot a disdainful glance at Kingsley before reprimanding Reene. “I was wondering why Neveah’s sales dropped so drastically. So you’ve neglected work for love!”“It’s not like that, Grandpa. The Roseland Chamber of Commerce—”But before she could finish her words, Alex butted in. “That’s enough, Reene Wynn. All the money you used to start your business came from our family. No way will we just sit and watch you neglect your duty. So you better hurry up and hand Neveah over.”The other relatives hurriedly echoed Alex’s condemnation.“Yeah, don’t be the dog in the manger when you’re incompetent! Have you no shame?!”“Our family’s business should naturally be managed by one of us. Even if you’ve changed your last name, you’re still an untrustworthy outsider.”“You guys…” With eyes red-rimmed, Reene screamed, “I’ve worked day and night to build Neveah from nothing. Even if the Wynn Family had provided me with the start-up fund, I’ve long returned it all after all these years.”“That’s enough!” Henry slammed the table. “Everyone, shut up!”Just as the tension was at its max, someone pushed the door open, breaking the frozen atmosphere.“Sorry, I’m late,” the dashing young man apologized like a true gentleman.Everyone began whispering in awe as soon as they saw who it was.“So he’s Mia’s fiancé, Young Master Ethan of the Windsor family?!”“I heard he had just returned from studying in Mittera. Surely his future will be limitless!”“Goodness, the Windsor Family is one of the top ten families of the city! Who’d have thought Mia could play up to a family like that?!”Ethan’s nose was now even higher in the air, basking in the crowd’s envious gazes.After sitting next to Mia, he apologized graciously, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting. There was a family emergency.” At that, Clarence hurriedly waved his hand. “No need to apologize. It’s only right that we wait.”Henry, on the other hand, smiled lovingly and asked, “Ethan, what kind of emergency was it? Do you mind sharing it with us?”He had a keen sense of judgment for business, and he had already sensed an abnormality from Ethan’s absence.With that, Ethan turned sober and said in a low voice, “A giant had landed in Cleapolis from out of nowhere this afternoon with a paid-up registered capital of one hundred billion. Not only that, they even bought the entire Tech Valley in Central Area to become their business site. This has never happened before! They’ve thrown a few joint projects out in the market. If we’re able to bag any one of them, we’ll surely jump straight to the top and become the top family of Cleapolis and even the entire Solaris Province!”Gasp!Everyone at the table gasped with incredulity. “A paid-up registered capital of one hundred billion? Who can it be that’s this mighty?!”“Coliree Group!” Ethan announced with great admiration.
