Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 502

Zeke rolled his eyes at Nancy.

Are you serious? Are you actually that shameless?

Weren’t you just saying that I was a fat pig who bluffed my way through everything? And now all of a sudden you want to work with me?

Ha! Wouldn’t I be an idiot who was asking for it if I actually agreed?

He signed, “I’m sorry, we don’t think we can work together.”

“Why?”

“Why? You just insisted that I forged this agreement, and that I’m someone who bluffs my way through everything. I was, as you put it, ‘humiliating myself by exaggerating things’.”

“So since this agreement isn’t real, how can I work with you?”

Nancy’s face immediately flushed red.

She admitted her words earlier were a little overboard.

But even if they were, so what? I’m the freaking daughter of the Hinton family. So what if I said a few words towards that useless man?

Hmmph! He should feel honored to have even been called names by me!

“Can you not be so full of yourself?” scoffed Nancy.

“Do you really think you are solely responsible for taking over Reagan Pharmaceutical? I’ll have you know; Lacey played a big part in all of this too.”

“If Logan Hugh didn’t try to mess with Lacey, then you never would’ve gotten the dirt on him, which means this is all thanks to her. So really, Reagan Pharmaceutical should go to Lacey.”

“As for you, you’re still the useless man who’s dependent on her to survive.”

“Lacey, ask for the agreement quickly. We’ll be undefeatable if we work together. And soon, we can enjoy all the gigolos we want.”

Lacey smacked Nancy’s bottom exasperatedly. “What are you blabbing about? Gigolos? Don’t you want your hero anymore?”

The mention of her hero made Nancy tense.

Her eyes swept over everyone threateningly. “I was just joking. I don’t even know what gigolos are.”

“If any of you spill a word of this to my hero, then I’ll make you all pay!”

“Especially you, Zeke! Make sure this goes with you to the grave!”

Zeke looked at her pitifully.

I’m sorry, but your ‘hero’ just witnessed you drooling over gigolos.

Lacey returned to the matter at hand and looked at Zeke pleadingly. “Zeke, how about we work with Nancy?”

“If she doesn’t sign the contract, then who knows what the Hinton family will do to her.”

“And it’ll be a good thing too. Wouldn’t it be better if we kept everything among us?”

Zeke didn’t want to spend any more time on the matter. All he wanted to do right then was to ‘make’ a baby with Lacey.

Once she fully sobered up, his window of opportunity would be closed.

Zeke nodded. “Have you forgotten, Lacey? You’re the CEO of Linton Group, and I’m merely one of your salespeople. You can make the decision on whether you want to work with her.”

Lacey smiled, “I knew you were a good person, Zeke.”

Nancy jumped around in joy. “Yay, Lacey! Whoopee!”

“Thank you for your graciousness! I have nothing to give in return, so how about I give you myself instead?”

And with that, Nancy dragged Lacey into the bedroom to ‘give herself to her.’

Wait... Something doesn’t seem right...

Something is very, very not right! I finally managed to get some alcohol into Lacey and create an opportunity for us, and now Nancy is stealing my place?

You just wait, Nancy!

Meanwhile, in the office of the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Harvey was getting angrier the more he thought about it. At the peak of his fury, he threw his cup down onto the floor.

The stainless steel mug hit the ground so hard it actually became deformed.

Harvey clenched his teeth. “Bloody Zeke Williams! How dare he ask me to apologize to him in public! Who gave him the balls to do that!”

“Just wait! I’m going to make sure he pays a very, very steep price for everything!”
