Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1223

Nancy and Dawn were astounded.

Although they knew about the encryption key, they would never reveal it.

However, before they could defend themselves, Fred cut in with a barrage of reproves.

“Despicable rats! How could you do such a vile thing? Who knew you had such deplorable characters? You leaked the company’s encryption key and resulted in the company suffering immense losses. As such, you shall have to suffer the consequences!”

Dawn anxiously exclaimed, “Mr. Jenson, we’re innocent! You know what kind of people we are. There is no way we would commit such a wretched act.”

“Dawnie is right.” Nancy added.

“Moreover, the hackers nowadays are capable of hacking systems even without the encryption key. Thus, the encryption key might not even be leaked.”

Fred rebuked her, “There’s no need to explain anymore. All you can do is wait to receive your sentencing.”

Upon hearing his words, Dawn and Nancy were in the pits of despair.

They were certain Fred Jenson was intentionally pushing the blame onto them.

He was merely condemning the scapegoats.

In just mere seconds, their positions had plummeted from being senior-level employees to criminals.

Such overwhelming desolation was pushing them to the brink of tears.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room flew open.

Next thing they knew, Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton marched in.

Fred was not acquitted with Zeke.

However, when he spotted Lacey, he sneered angrily, “You’re finally back. I thought you had fled in fear of being caught for your crimes. Lacey Hinton, I’m hereby seeing you for leaking the company’s encryption key. Your actions caused the company to incur enormous losses. You’ll soon be punished by the law.”

Lacey shot a glare at Fred but did not address him. Instead, she walked over to Dawn and Nancy.

The two senior-level employees, Dawn and Nancy, were blubbering uncontrollably.

Zeke Williams!

He’s back!

After missing for three years, who could have anticipated his return at such a crucial moment?

Lady Luck is truly shining down on us.

He’ll definitely be able to save us from this.

Heck, he might even be able to get Linton Group back too.

Zeke nodded slightly to the original employees and threw them a look of assurance.

It worked exceedingly well.

Previously, Zeke had pulled Linton Group out of many sticky situations. He had proved himself capable of pulling off incredible feats through sheer grit and determination.

He’ll be able to do it again for sure!

“Zeke, they’re bullying us.” Dawn sobbed.

“You have to fight for our justice!” Nancy rose to her feet as well.

Zeke offered them a comforting smile. “Don’t worry. What goes around comes around.”

Standing at one end, Fred shot daggers at Zeke. “You’re Lacey’s ex-husband who disappeared for three years? Please leave. The families of employees are not allowed to enter the meeting room.”

“How dare you chase me out?” Zeke rebuked.

“What a joke. I’m the assistant director of the company. Why wouldn’t I dare to?” Fred scoffed.

“Unfortunately, you don’t have the right. I’m actually the original president of the company. How could a assistant director chase out the rightful president?” Zeke challenged.

Fred sneered in derision.

“Sir, are you still living in a fantasy? We live in different times. We have long bought over the Linton Group. Hence, your name no longer holds any weight here.”

“Who said so?” Zeke smirked.

He fished out his phone and showed its content to the people present.

What is this?

The crowd was puzzled as they scanned the screen carefully.

Seconds later, the scene dissolved into chaos.

The King of Darkness, who bought up all shares of Linton Group while they were still cheap, was none other than Zeke Williams himself!
