Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1408

Emily listened to their curses calmly.

Once they stopped, Emily uttered, “Are you done? It’s my turn now.”

She slammed her hand onto the table and shouted, “Now I’m the wife of the Great Marshal and I’m the mother of the nation. How dare commoners like you humiliate me? Do you know that you’re committing a crime?”

The other three women were confused by her words.

They knew that Zeke’s title as the Great Marshal had been stolen by Julian, but that had nothing to do with Emily.

Dawn mocked, “Stop with your nonsense. You’re just a whore. Stop dreaming about being the mother of the nation, not unless every single woman in Eurasia dies. Are you delusional?”

Emily scoffed, “So you don’t believe in me? Now you watch.”

Looking at the team leader, she instructed, “Let them in.”

The team leader shouted, “Enter!”

Suddenly, sounds of marching came from the outside.

Even the ground was shaking slightly.

In the next second, a platoon of fully armed soldiers marched in and ran toward Emily.

They went down on one knee and shouted in unison, “The third legion of Atheville is awaiting the wife of the Great Marshal’s orders.”

The color drained from the other three women’s faces. What? Emily is really the wife of the Great Marshal! Oh my god! How can it be? How did she come into contact with Julian? She just went from rags to riches!

Jealousy, envy and hatred snaked around their hearts like a vine.

Abruptly, Lacey gasped in realization. “Now I get it! Emily, you’ve been working together with Julian. You intentionally slandered Zeke to help Julian get the title of the Great Marshal! A-Aren’t you afraid that karma will come for you?”

Emily had a sly smile on her lips.

“Don’t worry about that. The end result is what I want. I, Emily Clemons, is the one with the last laugh! To me, even houseflies are better than Zeke and you. You’re not even worthy of licking my shoes now.”

“You-”

Regret was killing her from inside.

She had been too kind to have kept Emily around.

Now, Emily was returning her kindness by attacking Zeke and her. Worse still, they did not have a way to counterattack.

Emily continued, “I’ve been acting as a spy in Linton Group, and I’ve found a major flaw in your system. Shut down the Linton Group and begin the restructuring process. We’ll open up when I said so.”

“Understood!” The team leader replied.

Emily looked at the Linton Group’s staff. “Now that the Linton Group is shut down, it’s unlikely that it’ll open up any time soon. You’re all unemployed. Do you think that that’s the end? No. I’m going to launch an investigation into the company. If I spot any financial issues, I’ll hold you accountable. What awaits you is endless jail time.”

By now, everyone’s faces had ashen.

They all fell into despair as they were defenseless against the wife of the Great Marshal. What do we do now?

Then, Emily said, “However, since we were colleagues, I can give you a chance. I’m planning to start a company. It will be involved in every industry that Linton Group is in. If you come with me, not only will you avoid jail time, but you will also have a bright future.”
