It was Dawn Castaneda, Lacey Hinton’s god sister. She was here on Zeke’s orders to incorporate the Whiteridge project into Linton Group.
Dawn Castaneda was the general manager and special consultant of Linton Group, as well as Lacey Hinton’s assistant now. Her monthly salary was easily seventy thousand, thus a BMW Trot was well within her means.
As she alighted from the car, her refreshingly adorable face caught the attention of everyone. Greeted by the sight of a hundred men slapping their own mouths, she appeared nonchalant as if she were accustomed to such a scene.
She walked to Zeke and hugged his arm, smiling, “Zeke, are these men causing trouble for you again?”
“Why do you say ‘again’?”
She rolled her eyes, “Don’t you keep tabs on such stuff? Oh yes, who is the leader of these men?”
Zeke pointed at Teeth, and Dawn Castaneda berated Teeth, “Humph, get this. Zeke can knock down a thousand men easily. Yet, you have brought a mere hundred men here. Are you looking down on him?”
Teeth’s hand was trembling as he removed his tooth. As the tooth dropped out, he shrieked in pain, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
How can they claim that I have not brought enough men here! Also, isn’t it inappropriate for him to knock a thousand men down on this kind of occasion?
Hades and Eclipse exchanged glances before breaking out into a guffaw.
Indeed, birds of the same feather flock together! The people Zeke Williams hangs out with are even more arrogant than him!
“Dawnie, let me introduce. This is Sofia, the person-in-charge of the Whiteridge project.”
“Sofia, this is Dawnie...”
Dawnie interrupted Zeke hurriedly and continued the introduction herself, “Sofia, I am Linton Group’s general manager. I’m here to discuss our collaboration. Please do give me guidance.”
“Zeke, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you have such a beautiful sister? If I knew long ago, I would have reincarnated as a man to woo Sofia.”
Sofia was amused by Dawnie, and she replied in a delightful tone, “Dawnie, Kiddo is your brother-in-law?”
“Kiddo?” Dawnie was astounded.
Sofia nodded, “Yes, our family always calls him kiddo.”
A sudden realization struck Dawnie, “No wonder you are so good at fighting, and nothing can hurt you. Because you are Kiddo!”
“Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,and the itsy bitsy kiddo went up the spout again...
”
Zeke’s face darkened, “What nonsense are you talking about? Be serious.”
Sofia laughed so hard that tears streamed down her cheeks.
This girl brings so much joy. Where did Zeke Williams find such an adorable darling?
Dawn Castaneda smiled cheekily as she answered Sofia’s question, “You are right. He is my brother-in-law. And I am his sister-in-law. Surely you get our relationship...”
At that instant, Zeke’s face grew darker.
Why does the words ‘sister-in-law’ sound so wrong when they come from her?
“So in this case, I’m your sister,” said Sofia.
She fished out a bank card from her pocket and passed to Dawnie, “I have not prepared any gift for you for our first meeting. Please take this money.”
Dawn was overjoyed and took the card immediately, “Thank you, Sofia. Oh yes, Sofia. Where are my godfather and godmother? I miss them.”
Before this, Dawn had heard from Zeke before that Sofia’s parents were his God-fatherrents.
In order to be affable, Dawn simply referred to them as her God-fatherrents.
Zeke glanced at her, “Haha, I think you only miss their welcome gift.”
“You assume the worst of me. Humph.” Dawn was upset.
Then, Zeke grew impatient with her, “Hurry up and go into the meeting room. We still have scores that are yet to settle.”
The senior managers in the meeting room trembled upon hearing his words.
Settle scores? He must be planning to settle scores with us. Our backer, Teeth, has crumpled to the ground already. With Teeth gone, how can we fight with Zeke Williams? We are dead meat now.
