Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 664

Zeke grabbed Aaron Hinton’s hand and gently pushed him away to stop him from hitting Nancy. Aaron stumbled a few steps back and almost fell.

Fortunately, other members of the family were there to hold him.

A flush crept up Aaron’s face. “Did you see what he did, Nancy? He attacked me! He’s our enemy! If you choose to stand by him, then you’re our enemy!”

All of a sudden, Nancy smirked. It was a cold but miserable smirk.

She had given up on the Hinton family completely.

Since young, her grandpa had always shown favoritism towards Michael and ignored her.

She expected this kind of treatment because she was a girl.

What she did not expect was that he would go to this extent to protect his grandson.

It was Michael who had attempted to kill her, but Aaron did not even bother to pursue the matter. He even threatened to kick Nancy out of the family.

It was utterly unbelievable!

The efforts she put in to build up the Hinton family were all in vain!

Surprisingly, Zeke, whom she had been at loggerheads with all this while, was the only person who stood by her side!

It would be meaningless if I choose to stay in the Hinton family.

She sighed and turned around. “I’m tired. Zeke, please stop these people from disturbing me.”

Aaron went berserk. “Are you mad, Nancy? You’re a disgrace to the family! From now on, you are no longer one of the Hintons! I’ll give you one more chance. Kneel before us and seek for forgiveness, right now.”



Zeke sneered, “I’ll give the Hintons another chance too. Join Linton Group, and your family will be safe.”

“Get lost!” Aaron Hinton roared, “Someone is going claim your life soon, yet you still have the guts to make this kind of empty promise? What a joke!”

He continued angrily, “Just you wait. Mance will destroy Linton Group. All of you will be begging for food on the streets soon. I might consider giving you a bun if you stop by my house in the future. Let’s go!”

Aaron then left with the rest of the family members.

Zeke couldn’t help but smile wryly. “A stubborn man like him is going to squander the family inheritance. Sofia, a duty for you. Monitor these men and make sure they complete the project by midnight.”

Sofia nodded. “Sure, I will. By the way, is Linton Group now in deep trouble?”

Zeke explained, “To me, it’s just a small issue. Don’t worry about it.”

Sofia responded with a grin, “Kiddo, can you tell me how powerful you are?”

Zeke laughed. “Let’s just say that I sit at the top of the social pyramid.”

Sofia was dumbfounded and covered her mouth. “Are you for real?”

Zeke answered mysteriously, “Only if you believe me.”

...

Nancy finally returned to Linton Group after Dawn did.

Together with Lacey and Susan, the four beauties were once again reunited.



They immediately carried out some emergency plans like downsizing the departments and taking cost-cutting measures. This had successfully helped Linton Group recover from being at the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course, this was just temporary. No one knew how long they could enjoy this financial stability.

They dared not even dream of going public at this point.

Lacey was so troubled these few days that she could not eat or sleep well.

The thought of losing everything that they had worked hard for in the past year made Lacey want to cry.

They would have solved some of the so-called minor issues if Zeke were willing to lend them a hand.

However, that did not happen.

These four ladies needed to accumulate experience on their own.

And it was only through their personal experience that they could grow and mature.

On this day, Lacey, once again, called for a meeting with Susan, Nancy, and Dawn.

“It would be impossible for Linton Group to overcome the crisis now. Give up a rook to save the king is the only way out for us. We need to sell some of our properties in order to protect the parent company.”

Lacey would not have proposed this if she had a choice.

Once they sold off some of their properties, their capacity and market capitalization would shrink by half.

The other three women did not say much but agreed with the proposal.
