Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1957

T-That's impossible, right? Why would the real boss behind Linton Group interfere with a little matter in the branch office?

Meanwhile, Emma and Sasha were having mixed feelings.

They had just admitted that they had both fallen for Zeke, but then they realized that he was already married and was the founder of Linton Group.

As realization hit, they knew they were unworthy of him.

So, we've been fooling ourselves the whole time. He has never meant to be with any of us.

Both of them were at a loss, feeling as if their hearts were torn in two.

Brandon was freaking out inside, but he tried to calm himself down.

He put on a brave front and retorted, “That's impossible. Drop the act, Zeke Williams! Ms. Hinton has to deal with important affairs every day to ensure the smooth operations of Linton Group. How would she have time for the likes of you? It's obvious that you were talking to an impostor! Asking someone to pretend to be Ms. Hinton? It's a commercial crime!”

Brandon's words made everyone sober in an instant.

That's right! Maybe he had someone pretend to be Ms. Hinton...

None of them had seen Lacey or heard her voice before. Even if he did find an impostor, they wouldn't know either.

Emma and Sasha were looking at Zeke expectantly. To be honest, they hoped that Zeke was lying, and he wasn't the president's husband. If it was the case, they would still stand a chance.

Sasha pursed her lips, feeling anxious. If my company closes down, so be it! I don't want to let a gem like him slip away!

“You'll find out soon enough,” Zeke said with a smile.

Right after that, Brandon's phone rang. When he took out his phone and saw the caller's name, his expression turned solemn in an instant.

It was Lacey.

Brandon answered the call with shaky hands. It must be a coincidence! Yes, it must be!

“Hi, Ms. Hinton. How may I...” Brandon's voice trailed off while trembling.

“Brandon Hilton, you and Bryan Hilton from pharmaceuticals are fired. Not only that, I'll get someone to thoroughly investigate everything that you've done. You'd better wish that you've never done anything wrong. If you've committed any wrongdoings, you'll be punished by the law,” Lacey said coldly.

“Ms. Hinton, why are you firing me? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?” Brandon tried to change her mind.

“Hah! The reason? You know it better than I do. The management of your branch, especially the medical services division, has always been in a mess! All this while, I've been turning a blind eye. However, I've never thought that you would dare do things that disregard human rights. I've already reported everything to the police. You'll receive your punishment from the authorities soon,” Lacey replied in a cold voice.

Brandon was devastated, and he knew there was no turning back.

Brandon wasn't the only one feeling that way. Emma and Sasha were also devastated, but for different reasons.

So, everything he said earlier is true...

“How dare you, Zeke Williams! I'll make you pay for it!” Brandon gritted his teeth.

He then said to Lacey, “Ms. Hinton, aren't you the least bit worried that your husband might be having an affair, since the two of you are so far apart? As far as I'm concerned, he has always mingled with beauties, and now he's giving me a hard time because of two beautiful ladies. The two ladies are no less beautiful than you.”

“Oh, really?” Lacey asked.

“Of course,” Brandon said.

“Ask Zeke to answer me,” Lacey said.

“Of course it's not true,” Zeke said.

“That's what I thought,” Lacey replied.

“Ms. Hinton, do you really trust him that much?” Brandon asked.

“So, are you saying that I should believe an outsider like you instead of my own husband?” Lacey asked.
