Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328

Nancy was furious. “The contract isn’t simple. I stayed up a few nights and amended the terms many times before drafting the contract.”

Aaron ordered, “Bring me the contract.”

Michael hurriedly handed it to him.

Aaron flipped through the contract patiently.

A heavy silence hung in the air.

After some time, Aaron suddenly declared excitedly, “This is the official stamp of the Whiteridge project department! Nancy, they have signed the contract with you!”

Once he said that, a commotion immediately broke out within the crowd.

The Whiteridge project department had stamped on the contract.

It also meant that Nancy had gotten the project!

Michael’s face paled when he recalled how he urged others to attack Nancy verbally.

This is so humiliating!

He could not believe it and ran over to confirm that fact.

“Damn, it’s the official stamp!”

Damn it, Nancy. Why are you so humble? You got the project but kept it a secret to humiliate me.

Nancy’s expression was as shocked as the crowd.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

She hurriedly explained, “Grandpa, this is a misunderstanding. The official stamp was forged.”

Forged!

Michael exclaimed, “Haha! I know you are not that capable to get the project. You used a forged stamp. How dare you lie to Grandpa and the Hinton family?”

“If the Whiteridge project department finds out you forged the stamp, what will you do?”

Nancy explained, “Grandpa, I didn’t stamp this stamp. It was Zeke Williams, Lacey Hinton’s useless husband, who’d messed around and stamped on it. It has nothing to do with me.”

Lacey Hinton’s useless husband?

Everyone turned to look at Zeke.

“Well, I’ve heard about him. He lives up to his reputation, huh?”

“I heard he’s a kept man and has a criminal record.”

“Pfft, allowing someone like him to pay respects to our ancestors is disrespecting our ancestors!”

“I suggest that we chase him out now.”

Daniel and his family were rendered helpless and lowered their heads when they heard the criticisms hurled at them.

However, they had gotten used to being targeted by the Riverdale Hintons, so they were not really upset.

Zeke let out a deep sigh.

“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have stamped on the contract. However, you shouldn’t rejoice because I’d tear the contract apart if you offend me and refuse to collaborate with you.”

Silence ensued.

Then, everyone broke out laughing.

“Hahaha! Did I hear it correctly? Did he claim the official stamp was authentic?”

“That means he’s the person-in-charge of the Whiteridge project department?”

“Haha! That kept man is so bold. How dare he pretend to be someone he isn’t?”

“Does he think he can do whatever he wants in front of the Riverdale Hintons because his wife’s a CEO?”

“Ha! His wife is nothing in front of us.”

Lacey was so ashamed she wanted to bury herself in a hole. “Zeke Williams, stop it.”

Nancy was enraged, too. “Shut up. No one asked you to talk. You’re asking for humiliation. Why are you so thick-skinned?”

“If you continue talking, I’ll ask Lacey to divorce you now.”

However, Aaron remained stoic as he waved his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.

With a somber expression, he questioned, “Zeke Williams, you said that this contract is valid?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, it is.”

Aaron replied, “I don’t trust you. Why don’t we make a bet?”
