Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty Chapter 290: Reno Mertens

Irina’s brows were deeply furrowed.

She knew there would be many to rush the red carpet to stop her today, but having Uncle Reno stand up was truly unexpected.

Yet, simultaneously, it seed sowhat within reason.

"Uncle, I have my own plans and thoughts; please bless rather than obstruct ," Irina took a deep breath, her voice carrying so authority.

She was now the president of the Civilization Book Club, and Uncle Reno was the Book Society’s Judgnt Chief.

By function, the Judgnt Chief was supposed to obey the president, not stand up in opposition.

"All I know is that if you continue down this path, there will no longer be a Civilization Book Club."

"Even if it could barely survive, it would lose all credibility along with its forr glory, becoming synonymous with fraud and money-grubbing."

"I neither wish for nor will I allow the Book Society to be destroyed on your watch."

"If you persist in this stubborn way, I will initiate a removal process, to remove you from the Civilization Book Club."

The tone of Reno rtens was serious and stern, bordering on a threatening warning.

Irina opened her mouth but then suddenly laughed out loud.

"Uncle Reno, look, you have ultimately beco the very thing you despised," Irina shook her head.

"Back then, when the family forced out of the Book Society, you helped weather the storm."

"At that ti, you said you trusted unconditionally."

"You said that only I was fit to manage the Book Society, only I could lead the Book Society onto the correct path."

"But what about now? Where is your trust in ?"

Facing Irina’s questioning, Reno rtens was also sowhat at a loss for words.

"You see, this is the problem, Uncle!" Irina sneered, "Even you can’t escape the influence of the rtens na."

"What does this so-called president amount to in your eyes?"

"Nothing but a puppet that can be manipulated and removed at will."

"How many sches has the Civilization Book Club set under the family’s influence over the years, how many people has it exploited, and you as the Referee, did you not know?"

"But what have you done? Positioning yourself with the family’s interests, turning a blind eye for the sake of the family’s future."

"The reputation and glory of the Civilization Book Club? It’s laughable, hasn’t all of that been ruined by you guys over the years?"

The expression on Reno rtens’s face was conspicuously embarrassed.

Everything Irina said was true.

Over the years, although Irina has been the president of the Civilization Book Club, her power has actually not been high.

Many things were restricted by the family.

Moreover, the family had also set up a committee within the Civilization Book Club, a committee so powerful it could intervene in any minor or major matter of the Book Society.

Not only that, but the committee also had the power of veto, able to overturn decisions made by the president.

"Uncle Reno, can you support one more ti?" After venting, Irina suddenly softened her tone.

The influence of a Fourth-stage Mutant was too significant.

Without Reno’s support, the family’s committee would probably imdiately remove her from the presidency.

"If you give up the wedding with Lu Xiao, I can still stand by your side," Reno sighed.

That boy Lu Xiao was too unpredictable.

He didn’t know why Irina chose to have a wedding with Lu Xiao, but... he just wasn’t comfortable; he did not like this uncontrollable feeling.

Irina remained silent.

On one hand was Reno’s support, on the other was to give up her plan and say goodbye to Lu Xiao.

It was a tough choice, and it was complicating.

"Even if you get Mr. Reno’s support, it would just be walking the sa old path; you would simply be playing your role as a puppet again," Victoria reminded from behind Irina.

Irina was slightly startled, yes, it would just be repeating the sa mistakes.

Was there any aning in it? No.

"Miss Victoria, this is a matter for the rtens family; please do not interfere," Reno snapped fiercely at Victoria.

Victoria’s eyes gradually narrowed, her gaze sharp: "Your rten family’s affair indeed is none of my business, but bullying Irina is unacceptable, Reno, do you really think I would be afraid of the rtens family?"

Victoria’s tone was very unfriendly, even addressing Reno by his first na directly.
