Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408

The door to the van slid open and eight men dressed in black and in shades surrounded him from all directions.

Humpty was so worried that his instinct was to run away by climbing the wall.

However, he was too stout and clumsy and failed despite multiple attempts.

By then, the men in black were about to take action on him.

Desperately, Humpty said to them, “Wh-who are you? I know all the big bosses of Oakheart City, so you can’t touch me...”

The leader of the men in black sniggered. “Indeed, our target is the big boss of Oakheart City. Please come with us. There is someone who wants to see you.”

Humpty was suddenly taken aback.

Their target is the underworld boss of Oakheart City? What has it got to do with me?

Humpty immediately explained himself. “You must have gotten it wrong. I...”

However, the men in black did not listen to him and pressed him onto the ground. They tied him up before throwing him into the car and speeding off.

....

Linton Group.

Looking exhausted, Dawn walked into Lacey’s office.

She threw the documents onto the desk and slumped desolately on the sofa. She then took off her shoes and placed her long legs on the desk.

Lacey, who was working intently, looked up and glanced at her. “What’s going on? You look so tired. It’s like you’ve just given birth or something.”

Dawn was annoyed, “Hey, could you show a bit of kindness, please? I am so tired all because of you, and here you are sneering at me? Take a look, come, take a look at my legs.”

Lacey said, “Your legs are long and fair. What, are you here to boast about them?”

Dawn chuckled. “Pfft. Did you not notice my legs are a little swollen? Just because of the Whiteridge project, I’ve run around the entire Whiteridge! My legs are about to break.”

Lacey took a closer look and realized that there was indeed some swelling on the leg.

She said, “Fine, but what’s that compared to mind anyway. I’m worse off than you are.”

Dawn scoffed. “I don’t believe you.”

Lacey then placed her two legs on the desk as well. “Take a look at my knees then.”

Dawn took a quick glance and immediately screamed out loud. “Oh my! I never thought you were that shameless, sister.”

Lacey’s kneecaps were a little swollen and blue-black and were a little wounded as well.

Lacey was confused. “How am I shameless?”

Dawn sighed. “Do I really need to make it that clear? I didn’t expect Zeke to have such, erm, quirky tastes. Hmph, can’t he be gentler and let you kneel on something a little softer?”

It was only now that Lacey realized Dawn had completely misunderstood this.

Her face darkened. “Dawn Castaneda, I am going to kill you.”

Dawn cried out, “Help! This little slut is about to kill me...”

Just as they were playing, Zeke walked into the room.

The moment he came in, his gaze was immediately drawn to the four slim and smooth legs, and he could barely look away.

No man in this world would be able to resist these two pairs of beautiful legs.

Red with embarrassment, Lacey immediately drew her legs back.

However, Dawn showed no shyness at all. In fact, she swayed her legs and teased him, “Zeke, your sister-in-law’s legs are not too bad right?”

Zeke was silent and quickly averted his gaze.

Lacey suppressed her anger. “Hmph, at least you know what to do.”

Zeke immediately changed the topic. “Dawnie, how’s it going with the business at Whiteridge?”

Dawn said triumphantly, “Please, everything was perfectly done the moment I appeared.”

Zeke smiled. “That’s good to know then. Oh yes, honey, take a look at this and see if you should be giving me a raise.”
