Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 437

Zeke sighed in disappointment, “You’re making this difficult for me. This is the first time I get to see someone eat shit. Why would I give up on this opportunity? How about this? Hadley, you’re partners with him. If he doesn’t want to eat it, why don’t you do it instead?”

Hadley scoffed, “Scram!”

Now, she was feeling frustrated.

She had underestimated Zeke.

However, this was not the most important part.

The issue was Zeke had made her spend 250 million to buy a stone that was almost entirely worthless while he spent 100 million and hit two jackpots.

Hadley felt like a clown from the stark contrast.

She thought, I’ll never buy stones for the rest of my life from now on.

Nancy shouted, “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat shit. Just give us the stone you cut.”

Hadley’s raw stone had a layer of imperial jade. It would not be difficult to polish it and sell for 50 or 60 million.

If she took the raw stone, she could complete the task her family had given to her.

Zeke stared at Nancy in surprise.

She’s shameless!

She mocked me when she thought I knew nothing about stones, but now she’s trying to make me share my success with her!

Nancy was feeling embarrassed by Zeke’s stare.

She knew it was unfair to do this.

However, her stubbornness was carved into her bones; she could not admit defeat to others easily.

She huffed, “What are you looking at? I brought you here. If not for me, you would’ve gotten nothing. I should share half of what you’ve gotten.”

Zeke took in a deep breath. “Nancy, if you were on a battlefield, you would’ve been a great achiever.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re thick-skinned. The bullets can’t pierce through you at all.”

“I... Forget it. You can say whatever you like. Regardless, you’ll have to give me a piece of your pie.”

To complete the task my family has given to me, I’ll bear with the curses if I have to.

Zeke was speechless.

She’s really insusceptible to the words of others!

Lacey hurriedly calmed them down. “Alright, alright. Let’s stop this now. We’ve got enough for today, so let’s not make things difficult for others. Hadley, just leave. The bet is off. Zeke, it’s true that Nancy has a part in helping you get these two treasures. Why don’t we give her half? Even a quarter will be fine.”

Moved by her words, Nancy nearly sobbed as she held onto Lacey’s arm and mumbled, “Lacey, you’re the best!”

Zeke said, “Lacey, that’s where you’re wrong. If we cancel the bet, won’t we be looking down on Hadley? Even if we canceled the bet, I’m sure Ms. Murphy would feel embarrassed. What about this? I think Nancy is right. Give us the scrap you cut earlier. It was worth hundreds of millions and you were fine with giving it away. Now that it’s completely scrapped, you should be more than willing to give it to us.”

Evidently, Zeke’s aim was not to obtain the raw stone but to make Hadley furious.

As Zeke expected, Hadley nearly exploded in a rage. “Shut up! You’re the one who bet with him about eating shit. It has nothing to do with me! Moreover, Zeke Williams, are you certain that you’re the winner? Ha. Don’t be smug so early. Believe it or not, I can force you back to square one right now.”

Zeke shook his head. “There’s no way you can.”

Hadley uttered, “Okay. You made me do this. If you have a death wish, let me fulfil it for you.”

As she spoke, she cast a meaningful look at Lacey. “Lacey, did you think that this man only loves you? Did you think that you’re his entire world? You’re so wrong. This man has been playing around behind your back.”

However, Lacey responded confidently, “Give it up if you’re trying to sow discord between us. Do you think I’ll question my... family because of an outsider?”

She was too embarrassed to say ‘lover’.
