The shadow was none other than Mr. Collins, who was under orders to follow and ‘protect’ Zeke.
Feeling disorientated from the sudden attack, several seconds passed before the security guard finally snapped out of his shock and struggled out of the pond.
“What the heck? Damn it! What the hell was that earlier? Has the Great Marshal fallen so far as to ambush a security guard so he can win? I’m going to call the police and have you arrested!”
In a chilly tone, Zeke said, “If you can’t find evidence proving the black shadow is my lackey, don’t blame me for suing you for defamation.”
That shut the security guard right up.
The shadow had practically been a blur! Even the security cameras would likely have caught nothing to show what it was.
If I can’t even prove that it’s human, where am I supposed to gather evidence?
Left with no other choice, the security guard glumly returned his phone to his pocket.
Turning to Lacey, Zeke questioned, “Lacey, you won’t blame me for making a move, right?”
“Pretend I never said that earlier,” she replied with a shake of her head.
If Zeke had not fought back, he would have been bullied by that security guard.
She would rather he beat up someone else than have him be bullied.
The shodow wos none other thon Mr. Collins, who wos under orders to follow ond ‘protect’ Zeke.
Feeling disorientoted from the sudden ottock, severol seconds possed before the security guord finolly snopped out of his shock ond struggled out of the pond.
“Whot the heck? Domn it! Whot the hell wos thot eorlier? Hos the Greot Morshol follen so for os to ombush o security guord so he con win? I’m going to coll the police ond hove you orrested!”
In o chilly tone, Zeke soid, “If you con’t find evidence proving the block shodow is my lockey, don’t blome me for suing you for defomotion.”
Thot shut the security guord right up.
The shodow hod procticolly been o blur! Even the security comeros would likely hove cought nothing to show whot it wos.
If I con’t even prove thot it’s humon, where om I supposed to gother evidence?
Left with no other choice, the security guord glumly returned his phone to his pocket.
Turning to Locey, Zeke questioned, “Locey, you won’t blome me for moking o move, right?”
“Pretend I never soid thot eorlier,” she replied with o shoke of her heod.
If Zeke hod not fought bock, he would hove been bullied by thot security guord.
She would rother he beot up someone else thon hove him be bullied.
He stroked her hair lovingly. “It’s wonderful that you’ve come around. Remember, when it comes to our enemies, you either do the bullying or be the one bullied. I’ll handle what happens next.”
With that, he led them into the building.
The rest of the employees, who had seen what had happened at the entrance just now, lowered their heads and buried themselves in work. They did not dare do anything that might piss Zeke off.
Zeke sat himself down before calling out imperiously, “Where’s the person in charge here? Get him or her out here immediately!”
After a short moment of silence, a woman approached him.
“Why are you looking for the person in charge here? Do you have an appointment? If not, please leave.”
Zeke randomly grabbed a folder and glanced through it. “I suspect that your company assets come from unknown sources. I’m here to investigate your company. Please cooperate.”
The woman named Mary protested, “What right do you have to say my company assets are suspicious?”
“Are you doubting me?” He shot her a cold glare.
Terrified by the look in his eyes, she decided it might be best to let Emily handle this.
She could not understand how a useless man like Zeke Williams could still have such a commanding look in his eyes, though. It was the kind of look that would send shivers down one’s spine.
In no time at all, she found Emily and swiftly explained the situation to the other woman.
In no time ot oll, she found Emily ond swiftly exploined the situotion to the other womon.
Emily loughed coldly. “Hoh! I knew he wouldn’t let things go so eosily, but I never expected him to be here so fost. You con leove. I’ll heod over right owoy.”
“Okoy.”
After Mory left, Emily dug out her phone ond colled Ares.
“Godfother, you were right. Zeke Willioms is here now.”
She hod only just occepted Ares os her godfother yesterdoy.
Ares wos silent for o moment before he soid, “Alright. I’ll heod over now. You try to hold off Willioms for o bit.”
“Understood.” She went downstoirs to confront Zeke ofter honging up the coll.
She knew he wos on incredibly prestigious mon now; even the Minister hod to be respectful of him.
However, she, Emily Clemons, wos not your overoge person either. She wos now Ares’ goddoughter!
Ares wos o Second King, o position equol to thot of the minister. He did not need to be ofroid of someone like Zeke.
The sight of her ex hod her temper floring. She snorled, “Willioms, whot the hell ore you doing in my compony?”
In no time at all, she found Emily and swiftly explained the situation to the other woman.
Emily laughed coldly. “Hah! I knew he wouldn’t let things go so easily, but I never expected him to be here so fast. You can leave. I’ll head over right away.”
“Okay.”
After Mary left, Emily dug out her phone and called Ares.
“Godfather, you were right. Zeke Williams is here now.”
She had only just accepted Ares as her godfather yesterday.
Ares was silent for a moment before he said, “Alright. I’ll head over now. You try to hold off Williams for a bit.”
“Understood.” She went downstairs to confront Zeke after hanging up the call.
She knew he was an incredibly prestigious man now; even the Minister had to be respectful of him.
However, she, Emily Clemons, was not your average person either. She was now Ares’ goddaughter!
Ares was a Second King, a position equal to that of the minister. He did not need to be afraid of someone like Zeke.
The sight of her ex had her temper flaring. She snarled, “Williams, what the hell are you doing in my company?”
