Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2196

Lowering his voice, Harry said mysteriously, “Okay. I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret.”

Bill nodded. “Of course!”

Harry revealed, “Great Marshal's task for me is to take care of Linton Group.”

Huh?

Bill felt a chill run down his spine. “Why?”

Harry replied, “Obviously, it's because Lacey is legally in charge of Linton Group and she's Great Marshal's wife!”

Boom!

Bill felt like he had just been struck by lightning. His mind turned completely blank and he collapsed on the ground weakly.

Ms. Hinton is actually Great Marshal's wife! I even deliberately put her in a tough spot earlier... That's a crime that could sign my death warrant!

Bill almost fainted from fear.

Da*n you, Harry! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you trying to sabotage me?

Harry advised, “Mr. Zimmer, you haven't made a grave mistake yet. You still have time to change your mind! If you clear Linton Group's name and act fairly, I'm sure that Great Marshal won't go after you.”

Bill immediately nodded. “Okay, okay. I'll go out now and prove that Linton Group is innocent.”

He looked so pathetic that it was like he had just escaped the clutches of death. If the crowd saw him, their imagination would run wild.

Hence, Harry suggested to Bill, “Mr. Zimmer, I think that it's better if you calm yourself first. Otherwise, people might make assumptions.”

Bill nodded. “Okay, I'll calm myself first.”

Harry smiled before turning around and walking out of the door.

Lacey was staring at the lounge eagerly. When Harry walked out, she immediately cast a curious glance at him.

Harry nodded at her with a grin.

Only then did she finally feel relieved.

Soon after, Bill walked out. Everyone's attention was focused on him as they waited to see how he would resolve this issue.

Considering his attitude toward First Bloom Apparel, things did not seem optimistic for Lacey and the rest.

However, Bill walked toward Lacey and bowed slightly. “Ms. Hinton, I'm sorry for accusing you without clarifying the situation. Please accept my sincerest apologies.”

Everyone erupted into an uproar.

Is this a joke? Why is Mr. Zimmer bowing and apologizing to a mere businesswoman? What happened in the lounge that made his attitude change so drastically?

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. Even Lacey found it hard to accept Bill's huge change in attitude.

She quickly said, “You don't have to do this, Mr. Zimmer...”

Bill smiled apologetically. “I am getting old and foolish. Please don't take it to heart, Ms. Hinton. As a leader, I should learn from my mistakes. Once again, I'm sorry.”

Lacey even felt slightly embarrassed. Not only was he a leader, but it was also inappropriate for an elder like him to bow at her.

Bill then shot a cold glare at Sally, who was standing there in confusion.

What's happening? Isn't he supposed to defend me? Why is he giving in to the enemy? What... What's going on?

Bill announced to the rest, “I called my son earlier and he said that he didn't buy the clothes from First Bloom Apparel. Instead, he bought it from Second Bloom Apparel next door, which is completely unrelated to First Bloom Apparel. Instead, the latter has been copying the former's designs. I've misunderstood First Bloom Apparel earlier.”

Then, he glanced at Sally and said, “After hearing about your situation from Mr. Hudson, I think that the origin of this forty thousand is questionable.”
