Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2379

Is he here to help me out? Haha! Joan must have pleased him so much that he feels the need to come all the way here to Linton Group to show his support. I was right about Joan. That girl deserves a reward.

Zeke and Lacey exchanged glances, and he nodded at her.

Lacey understood his intention. Even though she knew Lenard might have come to trouble her, she chose to stand up and speak for herself.

“I am Lacey Hinton, the person in charge of Linton Group.”

Lenard hurried to approach her.

Lacey was fidgeting uneasily.

Daisy and the others watched on, anticipating to see how Lenard would teach Lacey a lesson.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lenard bowed to Lacey and said, “Ms. Hinton, it is my honor to meet you. This is my name card.”

With that, Lenard produced a gold name card.

The fact that Lenard presented a gold name card to Lacey baffled everyone present.

What the hell is going on? Are our eyes playing tricks on us or something?

Not only did Lenard not berate Lacey, but he even presented the latter with a gold name card.

Only distinguished VIPs were entitled to receive a gold name card from Lenard. Even Daisy was not eligible to receive the sought-after gold name card.

Yet, Lenard just presented Lacey with a gold name card. What was he getting at?

Even a dimwit could see that Lenard was not there to trouble Lacey at all. On the contrary, he was trying to butter up to Linton Group.



Enraged, Daisy demanded, “Mr. Wayne, what could you possibly mean by doing this?”

Lenard looked daggers at Daisy and ignored her.

She was the very woman who had caused him to offend his boss' boss, and he almost went to jail because of the wretched woman.

I'm not going to tolerate you, woman!

Lacey looked at the gold name card presented by Lenard and was pleasantly surprised. “Mr. Wayne, this is?”

Lenard said politely, “Ms. Hinton, please accept my gold name card and I'll explain further.”

Lacey looked at Zeke. He nodded at her, and she carefully accepted the name card.

The heavy weight of the gold name card was telltale of its pure gold content. Lacey reckoned it must have cost a fortune.

“Ms. Hinton, we from Redwood Capital are truly impressed by your business management talent. Hence, it is our honor to appoint you as the chairperson of the board of directors of Redwood Capital. We hope you will honor us by accepting the offer,” Lenard said.

Gasps of disbelief filled the crowd.

They had heard about the hiring of top management executives and assistants. However, it was their first time hearing about offers for the chairperson position.



It was even baffling considering the fact that they were appointing an outsider to be the chairperson of the board of directors.

What in the world is going on? Is Lenard toying with Lacey?

It would make more sense if Lenard was making fun of Lacey.

However, Lenard did not seem as though he was joking around.

The crowd went abuzz with heated speculations about what was going on.

Overcome with rage, Daisy shouted, “Lenard Wayne! What on earth are you doing?”

Lenard shot Daisy a vicious glare and said through gritted teeth, “We will settle our scores later.”

Daisy was intimidated by Lenard's ferocious stare.

She did not understand what went wrong.

In fact, even Lacey was stumped. Zeke's heart melted when he spotted just how adorable Lacey was.

“Um... Mr. Wayne, are you kidding me? It's my first time hearing a company appointing an outsider as the chairperson. Besides, I'm afraid I'm far from being qualified for the position.”

“Oh, no. Do not think too little of yourself, Ms. Hinton. You have managed to transform a small steel mill into one of the five hundred most valuable companies in the world. That speaks volumes about your capabilities. In fact, we think that you being appointed as our chairperson is not a full utilization of your potential,” Lenard said.
