It’s confirmed!
It seems like Zeke has been framed. Blondie admitted it personally!
The true culprit was Humpty, the thief who was crying foul this whole time!
Both Summer and Ruby were caught up by their conflicted emotions, attempting to reconcile their feelings of both guilt and anger.
Their guilt came from their misunderstanding of Zeke and the terrible things they had said to him.
On the other hand, their anger rooted in all the things that Humpty had done behind their backs as if they were mere fools to be played with.
Ruby looked at Humpty through gritted teeth and said, “So, what do you have to say for yourself now?”
Flushed red with embarrassment, Humpty attempted to defend himself. “Actually...actually there’s some misunderstanding here. Madam, please allow me to explain...”
Ruby said coldly, “Fine, explain yourself then.”
“Actually....I...I...” Stammering, Humpty could not utter any reason at all.
Such complete nonsense. With all the concrete evidence, there was no way he could talk his way out of this.
Ruby said indifferently, “So, your defense is to play deaf and dumb? Humpty, you are a f***ing beast, and you’re worse than an animal! Get out of here! Don’t let me ever see you again. The mere sight of you makes me want to throw up!”
Humpty was infuriated by Ruby’s harsh words and began to lose his cool as well.
“F*** you! So what if I did it? What can you do to me? Shut your trap! Who are you to scold me? Let me make it clear to you today, I am definitely marrying Summer. Even if you don’t agree to it, I’ll make it happen right now and have our wedding night tonight itself!”
Summer was infuriated. “You....shameless guy! You hooligan!!”
Humpty laughed maniacally. “All right, as you wish, my lady. I’ll be a hooligan for you today.”
Summer shot him an angry glare and said, “Hmph, good begets good and evil begets evil. Just wait for your retribution to arrive. Mr. Williams, let’s go.”
Summer then prepared to bring Zeke away, only to be stopped in their tracks with Humpty shouting, “Leave? In your dreams! Not only am I going to take you down today, but I will also make this asshole handicapped! Haha, I’d bet he’d want to die right there and then as he watches how I press his beloved woman down under me! Ooh, this is making me excited!”
As he spoke, he fished out his phone and made a call. “Hey Ken, where are you? Bring your men to Wisdom Isle Kindergarten to teach someone a lesson. Don’t worry, you will be rewarded with five hundred thousand after this.”
Summer and Ruby were immediately shocked; their faces turned pale.
They knew very well that Humpty’s cousin was a gangster with a certain amount of influence in the underworld.
Now that Humpty was shoved to a corner, there was every chance of him doing something heartless and inhuman in retaliation.
Summer immediately pulled Zeke away. “Mr. Williams, ignore him. Let’s go.”
Zeke shook his head. “No, we can’t.”
Ruby attempted to advise him too. “Mr. Williams, I’ve misjudged you. I am really sorry. Please accept my apology. Let’s go back and discuss this further.”
Zeke replied, “No worries, since you are the victims too. Oh yes, Summer, what’s the market value of this kindergarten chain?”
Summer was confounded by such a question. She had no idea why Zeke would ask her that.
However, she still responded, “I’m not too sure, but my mom is an educator. She should know.”
Ruby then said, “Its market value is at least three hundred million.”
Looking rather disappointed, Zeke said, “Just three hundred million? That’s not very much, is it?”
