Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1039

“Zeke, where have you been all night last night?”

Zeke had spent the entire night trying to settle the Black Pentagon’s incident and had yet to return.

Zach Williams, who was well-disguised as his brother Zeke, hurried on to answer, “Lacey, I have finally found my parents! I spent the entirety of last night having a conversation with them. They say they want to meet you right away!”

Lacey was both surprised and in glee. “You’ve found your parents? That’s amazing!”

“Wait, let me put something nice on. It’s my first time meeting them, after all.”

Zach did not want to delay for even a second as he didn’t want to leave any opening for his plan to go wrong. So, he said to Lacey in an anxious tone, “I don’t think we have enough time for that, honey. My parents are about to leave soon. Just touch up on your makeup in the car.”

Lacey had no choice but to agree upon seeing how important it was for her to meet Zeke’s parents.

The two of them got onto the car, and it took off in a rush.

Zach had brought Lacey to a private airport, and they boarded a private jet.

Lacey was curious. “Zeke, where are your parents at? Why do we have to take a plane?”

Zach answered, “They’re staying at a place not far from us, but we have to rush there.”

Lacey did not have any suspicions against Zach’s reply, so she simply nodded.

The plane took off in a matter of a few seconds.

Once the wheels of the plane left the runway, Zach let out a breath in relief.

At that point in time, the operation had basically succeeded, unless Lacey jumped out of the plane in midair.

Zach finally let down his pretense now that his plan was going well. “Lacey Hinton, I need a feet massage.”

What? Did I hear wrongly?

Lacey suspected her ears were not working at this altitude.

Zeke has always called me by Lacey, not my full name Lacey Hinton!

Why did he call me by my full name?

Did he just ask me to massage his legs?

Lacey sensed that something was wrong, and she was totally right.

But still, she had to make sure that it wasn’t just her overthinking. She quickly responded with a giggle, “Zeke, cut the crap! It’s not funny!”

Zach was slightly agitated by her response, “I said, I need a foot massage, and it’s coming from you in case you haven’t noticed it’s only the two of us here.”

Lacey’s heart skipped a beat.

What she had just heard was definitely not something that would come out of Zeke’s mouth.

Zeke would never ask her to massage his legs, and he would definitely never speak to her in such a demanding tone.

A terrifying theory materialized in her mind.

The man in front of her was not Zeke Williams.

It was his evil twin, Zach Williams.

He must be Zach!

Dang it! Isn’t he still in jail? Since when has he gotten out?

Lacey took a few steps back. “Y-you... are not Zeke. You are Zach Williams.”

Zach broke into a burst of heinous laughter. “I have never said I was Zeke Williams in the first place. It’s you who has taken me as him.”

Boom!

After confirming her guesses, Lacey’s mind flew into chaos.

Hit by a dire sense of danger, she rushed to the cockpit and slapped its doors out of her subconscious. “Sir! Turn the plane around, I beg you! Turn it around!”

Hiss!

The doors to the cockpit opened. Behind it stood a tall and sturdy figure.

What? Did I hear wrongly?

Lacey suspected her ears were not working at this altitude.

It was Lennon Sullivan.


It was Lennon Sullivan.

Lacey had crossed paths with Lennon before.

It had happened at the Williams Manor. Zeke and Lennon had poisoned each other in a bet, but the latter had lost as he could not withstand the poison’s effect.

Lennon was Zeke’s nemesis, and Lacey was very well aware of that.

Now that Zeke’s evil twin had teamed up with Zeke’s nemesis, Lacey was in utter devastation.

She backed away from the both of them until she found herself curled up in a corner. “You ba****d! How dare you lie to me! Zeke will never let you go for what you have done.”

Lennon guffawed, “You think Zeke Williams is coming to save you? Hahaha! He will if he can fly up here, but too bad, he isn’t Superman!”

Upon hearing that, Lacey fell into a bottomless pit of despair.

...

After settling the incident with Black Pentagon, it was already late in noon.

Zach was completely exhausted as he had not slept for the past twenty-four hours.

Not only was his brain running, but he also had to move around a lot.

If it were the same for any ordinary person, they would have collapsed in an instant.

But Zeke had inhumane vigor, which prevented all that work from taking a serious toll on his body.

Once he set foot in the Linton Group’s building, he had immediately headed to Lacey’s room to invite her for lunch.

He wanted to celebrate his victory in the fight against the Black Pentagon with his beloved one.

However, Lacey was nowhere to be found.

Zeke looked everywhere in the building, but he still could not catch a glimpse of Lacey’s shadow.
