Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

After a loud thud, two cars crashed into one another.

The hood of the sedan became dented while the owner of the electric scooter fell to the ground.

Covering her mouth with her hand in shock, Lacey gasped, “Oh no, we hit someone!”

Zeke fumed, “Ba****d! Now my car is damaged!”

Lacey looked incredulously at Zeke, “Why are you still focused on your car? Go and check if anyone is hurt.”

Zeke smiled wryly. This car has been with me for so many years! You don’t know how important it is in my heart.

The family rushed out of the car.

As he lay down on the ground to inspect the scooter, the owner of the electric scooter snapped, “Do you even know how to drive? Are you blind? Compensate me now, and don’t you think of leaving without giving me a hundred thousand!”

Upon hearing the voice, the Hinton family was stunned.

This voice... sounds like Emily Clemons. From the sound of it, is she trying to scam us?

Lacey immediately went to have a look. It was indeed Emily.

“Emily, are you okay? Are you hurt?”, Lacey asked concernedly, “We will compensate for the hospital bills.”

Upon hearing Lacey’s voice, Emily’s body shuddered, and she immediately looked up.

Upon confirmation that it was the Hinton family, Emily instantly felt abashed and wanted to disappear.

This is so embarrassing! I can’t believe I staged a car crash and met my love rival. They must have found my pathetic situation amusing.

During this point in time, Emily’s life could be described as terrible.

Her brother had been taken away, which caused her family to be broken. Furthermore, it did not help that her mother burned incense and prayed devotedly every day. She had even forced Emily to go to jail on behalf of her brother Sam.

Emily was so focused on saving her brother, so she was often distracted at work. Now that her family did not have any source of income, their daily meals had become a problem.

When she had accidentally bumped into the sedan, she wanted to get some money for subsistence. Who knew she would meet the family of her ex-boyfriend and her love rival...

The Hinton family all looked like they were in high spirits and full of flamboyance.

Although they were still driving a broken down car, Emily knew the family was simply keeping a low profile. Lacey’s necklace alone would be able to get them a few luxury cars.

Not to mention the Rolex on Daniel’s wrist.

In stark contrast, Emily was living a life lesser than a human’s.

She knew that the current state of Lacey’s family was all thanks to Zeke.

If she had not coveted a three hundred thousand gift that time and chased Zeke away, what Lacey had now would all be hers! She had the opportunity to live a luxurious life.

Now, she had so many regrets; she felt like she wanted to die.

Zeke said coldly, “Please move, do not block the way.”

Infuriated, Emily glared at him. She gritted her teeth, “Why should I give way to you!”

“You hit me, so you should take responsibility,” Zeke reasoned, “We were on the main road, and you were on the frontage road. In the eye of the law, you need to give way.”

“Furthermore, the law now states that you need to put a sign and wear a helmet if you want to ride an electric scooter. You did not do both. It was illegal for you to be riding on the road,” Zeke added.

Emily was so mad that she could not say anything to defend herself.

Lacey could not stand the sight of the situation any longer.

Emily was already miserable enough; there was no need to be so harsh.

After all, the two had maintained a close friendship for nearly a decade.

Stepping in, Lacey chided, “Enough, Zeke, don’t talk so much.”

She turned to Emily and apologized, “We were at fault. Emily, here’s a hundred thousand. Take it.”

With that said, she passed Emily a bank card.

Emily’s tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably as she looked at the bank card,

A hundred thousand. In Emily’s eyes, this could save her life.

However, the way Lacey had passed her the card was so casual. She did not seem distressed at all... This sum of money must just be a drop in the bucket for her.
