Kingsley grabbed Reene by her shoulders and stared into her eyes from a close distance. "Reene, do you still not trust me? When have I ever made things difficult for you?" "Kingsley..." A blush rose on her cheeks. "But-"

"No 'buts'. Trust me, Reene!"

A lightbulb seemed to light up in her head as she looked into his hazel eyes.

Subconsciously, she nodded and uttered, "Okay. I trust you."

She then turned to Clarence. "I can sign a contract to take over the Clark Corporation, but I can't pay you anything."

"Okay! No problem at all! So long as you are willing to take over the company!" Clarence cheered.

At that point, he was about to jump up with excitement.

Having the contract signed was equivalent to transferring the entirety of the 50-million debt to her!

"Alright. I will go to the study room to print and sign the contract now."

She proceeded to turn around and walk toward the stairs. Kingsley, on the other hand, started to make conversation with great interest.

"I didn't expect you to take action so quickly. I thought it would take a while for you to come up with this solution."

Hearing that, Clarence looked at Mason with respect. "It is all thanks to this esteemed person for coming up with the idea."

"Oh?" Kingsley raised his eyebrows and looked at Mason in surprise. "I seem to have made a misjudgement..."

Kingsley had thought that Mason was just an ordinary homeless person. He didn't expect the man to be more complex than he looked!

Mason noticed Kingsley's eyes on him, and he only gave a small smile without saying anything.

However, Mason then doubtfully asked, "You and that little lady seem close. Why are you intentionally sabotaging her?"

The corner of Kingsley's lips lifted when Mason said that. "I wonder if you have heard of the saying that there is always a better than the best," Kingsley mused. Mason's eyes widened when Kingsley said that.

He understood what Kingsley was implying.

Mason and Clarence wanted to harm Reene, but Kingsley had already set up a bigger net and was waiting for them to throw themselves into it.

They had been too focused on Reene to watch out for Kingsley!

However, Clarence still hadn't noticed anything.

He only thought that Kingsley was boasting.

Seeing Kingsley's inscrutable expression, Clarence spat, disgusted, "Kingsley Nicholson, you better stop putting on a tough front! You are just trash who is dependent on Reene. What is with that mysterious act?!"

Kingsley only shrugged indifferently. "Think whatever you want," he replied.

In fact, Clarence was too insignificant for Kingsley to take his words to heart.

However, Mason was frozen in place, as though he had been struck by thunder.

With the way his lips kept quivering, he seemed as if he had received some kind of shocking news.

"Y-You are Kingsley Nicholson?" Mason's eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Kingsley. "How did I not recognize you? Y-You look way too identical..."

Kingsley was also shocked to hear Mason's words.

He had heard something similar coming out of Gavin's mouth before, too!

For him to say this, he must know my father!

Right at this moment, Reene came downstairs with the contract she had just printed in her hand.

Clarence was still somewhat confused at first, but seeing her walk down the stairs made him ignore everything and rushed over like a hungry beast. "Quick! Sign it, quick!"

He was terrified she would go back on her words.

It only took a few seconds for the contract to be signed.

With that, the Clark Corporation, along with the 50 million debt, were now Reene's responsibilities.

"Haha!" Clarence lifted his chin and laughed heartily. "Better hurry up and prepare to repay the debt of 50 million, Reene! This has nothing to do with the Wynns anymore!"

"50 million?" Her forehead wrinkled. "What are you talking about?"

He let out another cackle again and boomed, "Just this morning, the June Bank issued a notice for the Clark Corporation to repay a loan of 50 million dollars! The debt belongs to you now!"

With a smug look on his face, he continued, "You should quickly think of a way to sell your property to repay the debt! Haha!"

Bang!

The file which held the contract slipped out of Reene's hand and fell to the floor.

Her face had also paled in that instant.

"A-A debt of f-fifty million..."

Her vision turned dark for a moment, and she would have lost her footing if Kingsley hadn't stepped forward and supported her. "Don't worry, Reene," he assured her in a hushed voice. "It is all going as planned."

"As planned?" She slowly turned to look at him. "It is 50 million! No plan can pay off that amount!"

Surprisingly, a confident smile tugged on the corners of his mouth. "Don't worry. Let's head over to the Wynn Manor. I will judge how much humanity the Wynns still have before I decide on a way to put all this to an end!"
