Everyone's gazes landed on the twins and the other suppliers simultaneously.
“Hmph, now that Zeke has run away, what else do you have to say?”
Impossible! Impossible!
The twin sisters immediately rebuked, “We know Ms. Hinton and Mr. Williams very well. They'll never do something like this.”
“That's right! They must be late because they encountered something.”
“They're very responsible. It's impossible for them to abandon everything.”
Daisy laughed mockingly. “You refuse to give up until you witness the grim reality personally, huh? Since you don't believe me, give Zeke a call and see if they dare to come.”
The twin sisters whipped out their phones anxiously and called Zeke.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable...”
When the two girls heard the automated voice on the phone, their hearts sank.
Unwilling to give up, they quickly dialed Lacey's number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable...”
There was a look of despair on the twins' and the other suppliers' faces. They no longer harbored any hope.
It was still understandable for one person's phone to be turned off. However, if two of their phones were unreachable at the same time, it meant that something fishy was going on.
They were filled with so much despair that they felt like crying.
Meanwhile, Lacey and Zeke were completely oblivious to it. There were still heading back leisurely on the fighter jet.
Since they were on the fighter jet, they had to turn off all electronic devices, including their phones so that they would not affect the plane's systems. Otherwise, their life would be in danger.
Lacey stared out the window with a gloomy expression.
Barring accidents, that day would be the day of Linton Group's bankruptcy.
With all those years of effort turning to waste, Lacey was filled with indescribable sadness.
When she saw Zeke hugging Nelly and telling stories to her, the gloomy feeling in her heart faded slightly.
As long as her family was safe and happy, wealth was insignificant.
After their fighter jet landed on the ground, Zeke ordered someone to send Nelly home, while he and Lacey rushed to Linton Group.
On his way there, Zeke received a call from Nancy.
Nancy told Lacey that Daisy had brought the suppliers to Linton Group and kicked up a fuss. It was even worse than the previous day—they had destroyed everything in the office.
Afraid that the employees would be in danger, Nancy had ordered them to hide and avoid direct confrontation.
Hearing that, Lacey spat through gritted teeth, “They're too much! Nancy, go and hide first. Don't show yourself. Protecting yourself is the most important. Zeke and I are rushing over right now. Don't worry. Since she destroyed our office, I'll definitely settle the score with her.”
Nancy reminded, “Lacey, you must be careful. She brought quite a few fighters with her.”
“Got it.”
The call ended.
Zeke's blood boiled when he saw how angry Lacey was.
D*mn it! How dare you anger my wife? I'll make you pay for it a thousand times.
When both of them arrived at Linton Group, the scene in front of them made them even angrier.
The office was smashed beyond recognition, with a few employees bleeding as well.
Some suppliers and their hatchet men were surrounding the suppliers who sided with Zeke.
There were bruises on the twin sisters' faces as if they had been hit.
Daisy yelled arrogantly, “You're the first ones who dare to become enemies with me publicly! If you are my enemy, you have to pay a huge price. Say, would you rather take your own life, or would you prefer to have me do it for you? Forget it. You should do it yourself. I don't want to dirty my hands.”
The twin sisters clenched their jaws. “Ms. Daisy, don't you think you're crossing the line? This is just a normal business dispute. Is there a need for you to smash the office, beat people up, and even kill them? Have you forgotten where you are? We're in Eurasia! If you kill us, you'll be punished by the law.”
