The Established Siblings Of The Pack

Chapter 16

asked, “Kingsley, what in the world is going on? How can you afford to buy so many rings?”To that, he shrugged and used Cecilia as his cover. “Ask her!”He didn’t want to lie to Reene, but his mission this time was far too dangerous.He didn’t want them to worry or drag them into it, so he had to keep his identity a secret.However, one lie would lead to many, and he didn’t want to come up with so many excuses. Thus, he used Cecilia as his cover.Cecilia stuttered under Reene’s dubious gaze. “Um… You see, I paid for them all. To gift them to you.”“You paid for them all?!” Reene exclaimed with shock. “Where did you get all the money from?”The Larson Family and Wynn Family’s influences were on par—both second-class families.So she knew no way was her bestie able to fish out fifty million.“It’s not my money,” Cecilia said ambiguously. “My fiancé’s Shane, no?

Kean Corporation has been riding high lately, and I heard Mr. Kean is a talented young man who studied abroad!” Cecilia held Reene’s arm excitedly. “C’mon, I want to see if he’s really as the rumors say!”………Ramada Hotel was one of the most exclusive hotels in Cleapolis. Located in the central business district, the 66-floored hotel was also arguably a local landmark!The minimum spending on a meal there was up to six figures, and anyone who wasn’t rich or noble wasn’t allowed to dine there.It could be said that dining at Ramada signified a person’s identity and status!Moreover, the sixtieth floor and above were priceless.Not everyone could book a table even if they had the money, for they needed to have the identity, status, influence, and connection…Cecilia dreamed while looking at the towering building. “If only
