Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1899

Ah! I get it! Emma suddenly patted on her head and made speculation. “Earlier on, I heard that there would be a military exercise for the three armed forces somewhere near Asger Manor. They must have bumped into Sixtus stirring up trouble with his gang during their exercise and arrested them! We were lucky indeed to flee from there.”

Zeke was utterly speechless. Fine, just let it be as long as you're happy.

On the other hand, Madeline and Desmond started putting their heads together again after leaving the hospital.

Madeline felt her temples starting to throb. “It never occurred to me that someone would show up and mess things up. What are we supposed to do now?”

Desmond replied triumphantly, “What is there to worry about? Just let Mr. Fleming settle it. Since he's influential and has connections, it's a piece of cake for him to settle a thug down.”

Madeline was a bundle of nerves in an instant. “Desmond, I think we'd better keep mum about it from Mr. Fleming. Once he steps in, that scumbag will be finished off by him for sure. By the way, he's not only Emma's ex-boyfriend but also Amelia's biological father. Thus, we should not be too cruel to him. After all, he did not commit a grievous deed.”

Desmond was obviously becoming impatient. “Hmph! You're too soft-hearted and tend to be swayed by emotions. Do you think we can keep this matter under wraps from Mr. Fleming forever? We'll have to face his wrath if he finds out later.”

Madeline assured him, “At least try to buy as much time as we can. I'll try to talk Emma into changing her mind. She must have made the irrational decision due to her sudden impulsiveness. I bet she'll think it through if I spend more time advising her.”

Desmond waved his hands impatiently. “All right, you settle it yourself then. I don't want to be bothered about that again. If you're unable to settle it later, only then I'll notify Mr. Fleming about it.”

“All right.” Madeline nodded in relief.

Moments later, they split up.

Desmond's lips contorted into a sly smile as he snorted. What a silly woman! All of us know that Emma has a temper. I doubt that you're able to convince her. To play safe, I'd better notify Mr. Fleming about it. As for that brat who dares to stand in my way, I won't let him off!

Desmond hopped into his car and sped off toward Thomas' villa. Needless to say, he would not let the chance to prove his faithfulness to Thomas slip away.

In Thomas' villa, a group of scantily dressed young ladies was having fun among themselves. Most of them were models, and they looked exceptionally seductive as they only dressed in sexy bikinis.

Surrounded by the alluring young ladies, Thomas was clearly enjoying himself to the fullest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a series of sudden knocks on the door.

Thomas' face turned grim at once. “Who's that?”

“It's me, Desmond.” Desmond's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

“D*mn it! What a rain on my parade!” Thomas cussed before calling out to him. “Come in.”

Thomas did not feel awkward flirting with women in the face of the so-called uncle of his fiancé. Obviously, he looked down on Desmond.

Shortly, Desmond stepped into the villa.

Instead of feeling embarrassed at the sight of the indecent scene, he was drooling over the scantily dressed young ladies.

Thomas shot him a contemptuous glance. “Desmond, why are you here? Say it out loud and get lost. Don't spoil my fun.”

Desmond replied hastily, “Mr. Fleming, it's about something rather furtive. Can we have a word in private?”

Wearing a look of displeasure, Thomas waved to the seductive ladies, signaling them to leave.

They were displeased and muttered among themselves at once.

He patted on one of the models' bottom and appeased her. “Cheer up. I promise we'll carry on with our party after I've settled my matter.”

Hearing that, all of them responded excitedly.

After they left, Thomas questioned idly, “Cut to the chase. What happened that is so secretive?”

Desmond replied, “Mr. Fleming, Emma is back.”
