Reene bit her lip lightly. "I'm not talking big. Dad, Mom, I'm really grateful to you two for adopting me, putting me through college, and giving me the money to start my own business. That's why I'll do everything I can to make life better for both of you until I can pay the 150 million back to you," she said before turning to Ysabel. Then, she continued, stressing each word, "That being said, Mom, Kingsley's more important to me than everything else, so please don't ask me to distance myself from him anymore!"
Ysabel wasn't the slightest bit touched by her words, though. Instead, she retorted with an angry snort, "I think you've let this little b*stard bewitch your mind! How are you gonna make us live well if you're not marrying Mr. Kean?!"
At this moment, Mia sneered from the sidelines, saying, "Aunt Ysabel, I'd say you should stop trying to use Reene to get the upper hand over our family already. Let me tell you this: Reene can never hold a candle to me in her lifetime!"
"Why can't Reene hold a candle to you?!" Ysabel raised her eyebrows in anger. She warned, "Mia, you'd better stop acting cocky in front of me! You don't have Young Master Ethan to back you up anymore, remember?"
Mia guffawed in exultation. "Haha… You think I could only depend on the Windsors? I'm telling you, I could find another rich and powerful man for myself at any minute with my charms!"
Ysabel's countenance changed at her words. "What do you mean? Could you have landed yourself a new boyfriend?"
Clarence also asked in surprise, "Mia, you've gotten a new boyfriend already? Why didn't I know that?"
"Dad, we just started going out a few days ago." Mia had smugness written all over her face. "I've intended to wait until our relationship's steady before telling you about this," she said before turning to look at Ysabel and Reene with disdain. "But since Aunt Ysabel wants to use Reene to grind us down, I can't hold back anymore! I have to make this public to shatter her dreams!"
Clarence looked ecstatic. "Really?! Mia, if you manage to get me another well-heeled son-in-law, then the Wynn Family will be saved!"
