Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346

Nonetheless, he was still able to remain composed. “Regarding our bet, first, we didn’t write it in black and white, and second, it’s not legally binding. Hence, I won’t admit to it,” he announced.

It seemed as though he was determined to play punk, shamelessly.

“Who’s said that it’s not legally binding?” Zeke replied as he took out his phone to play a recording.

The content of the recording was regarding Zeke and Aaron’s bet.

Aaron’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment. He knew that Zeke had a hold over him now.

Michael panicked and immediately sprang towards Zeke, wanting to snatch his phone away.

However, Zeke agilely moved backward, causing Michael to fall flat on his face.

Zeke took a side glance at Michael and sneered, “Childish!”

“Mr. Hinton, are you intending to play dirty? If word gets out that you, as a businessman, are so dishonest, I wonder what’s going to happen to your reputation.”

As Aaron was unable to outwit Zeke, he started targeting Lacey instead, “Lacey, even if I give up the Hinton family allowing you to be in charge, would you dare to take it up?”

A shiver ran down Lacey’s spine when Aaron directed the question to her.

She had grown up living under the shadow of her grandpa’s brother, so naturally, she was fearful of him.

Obviously, being questioned by Aaron scared Lacey out of her wits.

Just as she was at a loss for words, Zeke tapped her shoulder and urged, “Lacey, didn’t you say that you’d needed to use the bathroom? You should go now.”

Lacey nodded. She understood that Zeke wanted her to stay out of the situation, for the time being, leaving it to him to handle.

She turned towards Nancy and asked, “Nancy, do you want to go together?”

Nancy nodded immediately and agreed, “Yup, let’s go.”

When they reached the door, Lacey looked at Michael. With a big smile, she mocked, “Hey, Michael, are you going to send two lackeys to follow us?”

Michael was speechless.

You b****! I can’t wait for you guys to get out of my sight. Why would I send anyone to follow you?

Nancy laughed aloud and joked, “Lacey, when did you learn to make fun of people?”

Lacey kept a straight face as she answered, “I’m not making fun of him, it was a serious question.”

Haha!

The two women left in good spirits.

Zeke professed in disdain, “Let’s just settle this, man-to-man. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for making things difficult for a woman?”

“Sure, let’s not involve the women then,” Aaron agreed.

“Don’t forget, we have a relative who’s the leader of the underworld in Riverdale. Even if you’d managed to take charge of the Hinton family, if that relative of mine is angered, he won’t hesitate to wipe out the Riverdale Hintons’s. If that happens, don’t expect your Whiteridge project to be spared.”

Zeke replied, “Oh, is it? Now I’m really interested to see just how powerful, your relative, the leader of the underworld, is.”

“You’re seeking your doom.” Aaron was simmering with anger. “Michael, have you found out who that relative of ours is?”

“Not yet,” Michael replied.

“But that’s not an issue. We wouldn’t need our relative’s help to deal with this guy. Marcel alone would be able to handle him,” he continued.

“Yeah! Get Marcel here. Let’s teach him a good lesson today,” Aaron concurred.

Michael immediately rang Marcel. “Marcel, come to the private room now. I will let your woman off, and you won’t have to resign as well, on the condition that you help me with something...”

Meanwhile, Marcel had already received the phone call. He was now charging towards the private room where Michael and the rest were at. He was in a rage, and his girlfriend, Quisha, was accompanying him.

After ensuring that his boss, Jeremy, was not related to the Hinton family, he intended to seek revenge against that family, in order to regain the dignity he had once lost.

As the couple was walking at a hurried pace, they bumped into two women around the corner.

The two women were Nancy and Lacey.
