Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2277

The progenitor was worn down after several instances of mental whipping.

“Fine, I'll join you at Linton Group. God, how could such shameless people like you exist in the world!”

Not long after, Zeke and Sole Wolf arrived at Linton Group.

Despite being peak working hours, the vast headquarters of Linton Group was almost deserted of employees.

The few that remained behind were not even at work. Instead, they were either on their phones or wandering around.

Linton Group was nearing its end, and they knew it.

Zeke knew their predicament was caused by the unfair competition between Intercontinental Group and Linton Group, which had led to the latter's decline.

He grimly resolved to deal with Intercontinental Group when he had the time to tide Linton Group over its difficult period.

However, getting rid of the Heart-Bound Worm from Dawn's body remained the top priority.

Zeke came to the CEO's office on the top floor, which was also empty.

He frowned. Lacey should be in the building no matter how badly Linton Group is doing. After all, she is the soul of the company. Something must be wrong if she isn't here.

Zeke's pulse quickened as he ran toward the vice CEO's office. “Dawnie, Nancy, are you there?” he shouted.

Only the echoes of his voice answered him.

D*mn it, where are they?

Zeke took out his phone and prepared to contact Lacey.

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded behind him.

“Are you the CEO of Linton Group?”

Zeke turned around suspiciously and found a blond woman smiling at him in a way that looked more like a leer.

She was tall and slender. The tight skirt she had on was split almost to her waist, revealing her fair and lithe thighs.

Even her open-toed heels were provocative.

Zeke frowned. “Who are you?”

The blonde woman smiled. “You can call me Daisy.”

“Can I help you, Daisy?”

Daisy nodded. “Are you the CEO of Linton Group?”

Zeke shook his head. “No.”

Daisy looked disappointed. “Never mind then,” she said as she turned and walked away.

Zeke called after her. “However, I am the founder of Linton Group. I have the final say in the group's affairs.”

Daisy's smile grew broader. “You will do just fine. There is something I would like to discuss with you.”

“You have my attention.”

“I want to buy Linton Group,” Daisy proclaimed.

Zeke immediately pieced together the implications of her intention.

For a long time, he suspected that the mastermind behind the fierce competition with Linton Group was to weaken it enough for easy acquisition.

Now that Linton Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, this woman's appearance and her talk of acquisition could only mean one thing. She is most likely sent by the mastermind orchestrating the relentless attacks on Linton Group.

“How much are you offering?” Zeke asked.

Daisy held out a hand with five outstretched fingers in response.

“Fifty billion?” Zeke asked.

Daisy giggled. “It's very bold of you to think that your company is worth that much, Mr. Williams, given the current situation of Linton Group.”

“Five billion, then?”

Daisy shook her head again. “No, Mr. Williams. Five hundred million.”

What? Five hundred million!

Zeke scowled. “At its peak, Linton Group was valued at a hundred billion. Don't you think that your offer of half a billion is rather insincere and frankly a little insulting?”

“You said it yourself, Mr. Williams. Linton Group was worth a hundred billion only at its peak. Look around you. Linton Group is now a shadow of its former self. My offer is an act of kindness, you know.”

“It's a flat no to your pathetic offer, Daisy.”

She shrugged. “Linton Group will go bankrupt and be forced to be liquidated whether you choose to sell or not. By then, you won't get a penny.”
