Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1396

“Hey, have you guys heard the latest news? That girl who just joined our department, Emily Clemons, is Director Williams’ ex-girlfriend.”

“Holy f***! So, she’s that slutty b****! No wonder she looks so much like a slut.”

“I’ve heard of that b**** before as well. Rumor has it that she dumped Director Williams back then because she thought that he was too poor.”

“That’s right. She made Director Williams look so bad back then that he had no choice but to propose to Ms. Hinton.”

“Afterwards, she tried to harm both of them many times but to no avail. In the end, she even lost all her money.”

“So, what’s she doing here?”

“Ugh, she’s obviously at the end of her rope so she has come to work here to make ends meet.”

“Holy s**t! What a shameless woman she is! If I were in her shoes, I would never crawl back to an ex-boyfriend and beg him for help.”

As they spoke, they walked out the toilet and bumped into Emily.

The air immediately became thick with tension.

Feeling utterly miserable, Emily waited for them to apologize to her.

Instead, the supervisor snapped, “Emily, why were you eavesdropping on us?”

“Huh?”

Not only do you refuse to apologize to me, but you’re also blaming me for eavesdropping on you people?

“You’ve violated the company policy by coming here to eavesdrop on others during working hours and neglecting your work,” the supervisor announced, “You won’t be getting your bonus this month. And you have to clean this toilet for the next ten days.”

“Let’s go.”

The supervisor and Emily’s colleagues just walked away.

Even though they were quite far off, Emily could still make out their mocking laughter.

An angry expression flashed across her face while she balled her fists and her eyes burned with rage.

They’ve gone too far!

This is unacceptable!

Not only did they refuse to apologize after talking badly about me behind my back, but they have also punished me by deducting my bonus for this month and even assign me to clean the toilet.

What do they take me for?

The stark difference between the respect she had commanded back in the boutique and the ridicule she received from her colleagues now left her on the verge of an emotional meltdown.

Is this how I want to live for the rest of my life?

Then what’s the point in living at all?

Now that the heavens have given me to change the tide, why should I not seize the opportunity?

Without further ado, she whipped out her phone and gave Julian a call.

“I’ll help you!”

“Great!” Julian laughed, “That was a very wise decision. And I admire you for that.”

“I’ll make the necessary arrangements for what happens next. All you have to do is execute the orders given to you.”

“Please do it as soon as possible!” Emily rushed him. “I cannot wait for Zeke’s reputation to be ripped to shreds.”

On the other end, after Julian had hung up the phone, he turned to Ares and said, “Sir, Emily has agreed to help us.”

“It’s time for us to make our move.”

Ares smiled contentedly. “A good beginning is half the battle won.”

“I must say the beginning looks very promising indeed.”

He then got in touch with the Colonel’s bodyguard, Drake, and conveyed his intentions of organizing a Grand Ceremony.

Ares and Julian’s plan was for Emily to accuse Zeke of being a playboy during the ceremony and tarnish his reputation.

Once Zeke had lost the support of the people, it would be easy for Ares to revoke Zeke’s title of the Great Marshal.

After that, Julian would come forth to do some good deeds beneficial for the country and its people to garner the support of the people.

He would then have a really high chance of being elected as the new Great Marshal.

Every King was a trump card of the nation. It was perfectly reasonable for Ares to organize a Grand Ceremony.

Thus, the Colonel agreed.

However, Ares was only a Second King. He certainly wasn’t as influential or powerful as a First King.

Thus, his Grand Ceremony would not be as impressive as that of a First King’s or that would cause a stir around the world.
