Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 640

Upon hearing this, Yung Castenada bellowed, “Hmph! This girl! She has been lying to me all this while and hiding from me. I didn’t expect her to work for Linton Group! Mance, don’t worry. I will make sure she resigns, and if she refuses to listen, I will make sure to kidnap her home. She can’t be working against you! That’s ridiculous.”

Mance smiled slightly and nodded, “Mr. Castenada, I feel much more at ease upon hearing your words. By the way, my brother has told me that he likes your daughter. He wishes to marry her and be together with her for a lifetime. If we become in-laws and work closer together, the Castaneda family will no longer be restricted to East Skuld and can prosper in the whole of Eurasia instead.”

“Haha!” Yung let out an excited guffaw.

“This is definitely a good thing. Definitely good! I will agree to this marriage on behalf of my daughter. Mance, don’t worry. I will get her back to the family and marry your brother.”

“Please, go ahead,” Mance replied.

“I will get my brother to visit one day,” He added.

Yung Castenada left with a lot to do after.

Just as he stepped out, Aaron Hinton of the Hinton family from Riverdale paid him a visit.

This was naturally the Hintons to which Nancy belonged to.

Aaron was infuriated when he knew that Mance failed in his bid to court Nancy and that she even got someone to beat him up.

“What a ridiculous woman! Damn it! It’s a blessing from our ancestors that Mance would even court someone from the Hinton family! How can this lass just reject him like that? She’s really stupid for doing that! What a ba****d!”

“Mance, please don’t worry. I will definitely punish this daughter of mine and give you a satisfactory explanation.”

Breaking into a sigh once more, Mance said, “Sir, there’s no need to be angry. I still love Nancy. If she wishes, I do not mind forgiving her.”

Naturally, Aaron was elated and relieved upon hearing this and said, “Thank you, Mance, for giving the Hintons another chance. We will not let you down! I will definitely make sure she marries you, even if it means kidnapping her!”

Mance just laughed and nodded. “Alright, I await your good news then!”

Aaron left in a hurry after the conversation ended.

Mance stretched his limbs in a casual manner. There was no mistaking his high spirits and vigor.

Linton Group was now boycotted by most of the businesses in Rivermouth. If they lose Nancy Hinton and Dawn Castaneda, who were the pillars of the company, it would definitely be a huge blow to the company. Would they be able to survive in lieu of the internal and external troubles?

It was not possible!

...

Linton Group descended into utter chaos.

The company had recently acquired a piece of business. It was at the peak of its development and expansion. Any error, including a minute detail, could send the company spiraling downwards with a situation of no turning back.

Unfortunately, at such a crucial stage, the Linton Group had been boycotted due to Mance’s act.

Many business partners betrayed the Linton Group and changed camps to side with the Raider Group. It was now difficult for the company to move forward, and it could collapse at any moment!

As if the situation was not bad enough, troubles continued to arise. Earlier, Dawn received a call from her family to say that her father was gravely ill and asked to see her for one last time.

Nancy was uncontactable.

Since the pillars of the company were gone, the company was placed in a difficult position.

Lacey panicked and did not even have an appetite for lunch.

Zeke walked in with a cup of coffee and smiled as he said, “Honey, have some coffee. You will feel more energized after.”

Lacey looked up and said to him, “Zeke, I really envy you sometimes.”

“What about?” Zeke asked, slightly taken aback by her words.

Lacey replied, “I envy that you can be so heartless and thoughtless.”

Zeke was speechless.

I thought you were going to praise me. I suppose I thought wrong.

In a soft voice, he assured, “Lacey, are you worried because of the Raider Group? Don’t worry. This might just be his peak. Within a short time, he will fail so badly and collapse with just a rack of bones left.”

“Defeating someone necessitates that you allow him to be arrogant first,” He added.

Lacey rubbed her temples and lamented, “The entire Rivermouth supports him now. Even General North is attending his launch party. How can he be so easily defeated?”

Clap clap clap!

Resounding claps could be heard from the door as someone said, “Haha! Hinton, it seems like you are quite self-aware.”
