Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 734

This situation was a lot more than what could be seen on the surface, making Shawn Badley too nervous to join in.

He took a deep breath and said quietly, “Let’s go.”

Zeke scoffed coldly. “Despite eating, drinking, and breathing the taxpayers’ money, not only are you ignoring their requests, but you’re also interfering with their companies too. You’re disloyal, disrespectful, and just downright dishonest.”

“You-” The corners of Shawn’s mouth twitched in annoyance. Zeke was clearly pushing it.

However, Shawn stopped himself when he thought about the power Zeke had supporting him. “I’m sorry,” He apologized, disgruntled. “We’ve learned our lesson from this and won’t make the same mistake again.”

At that, he turned and left.

What the hell?

Henry’s eyes were wide in shock.

So you guys just came to apologize?

Did I just get beaten up for nothing?

No! No, I won’t accept it.

He hurriedly chased after Shawn. “Mr. Badley, you can’t just leave like that...”

Slap!

Shawn Badley cut him off with a harsh slap. “F*ck off! Are you trying to kill me? Go back and tell your dad that I don’t care if he wants to die, as long as he doesn’t drag me down with him!”

Lacey looked at Zeke pointedly. “Zeke, can you explain where exactly this money came from?”

Zeke started to ponder how exactly he should answer this question.

“Don’t you dare try to trick me. Tell me the truth now,” Lacey said.

Zeke had no choice but to come clean. “Okay, okay. I confronted the smuggling ring and Paul at the same time. I was the one who wanted the smuggling ring to transfer the money to Paul instead.”

“How could you?” Lacey kicked Zeke’s calf in anger. “You should have come clean from the start! Do you think you’re some kind of God? How could you possibly have controlled both the smuggling ring and Paul at the same time? Call Paul right now. I’ll believe you if he picks up.”

“I don’t have his contact information. It’s always been my subordinates who contacted him,” Zeke replied.

Lacey chuckled.

Zeke was left speechless.

What kind of society is this? Is the truth coming out of my mouth that hard to believe?

In the end, Dawn Castaneda was the one who broke the silence. “Lacey, you don’t have to worry about that stuff. At the end of the day, we got 1.5 billion out of nowhere. That’s enough for you to support, like, a hundred of your little flings.”

Lacey shook her head. “No, absolutely not. We have no clue where this money came from. We can’t just take it for ourselves. Contact Paul immediately and ask about it.”

“Okay,” Dawn said, disappointed.

Zeke sent a message to Lone Wolf. Do your job well. Don’t let them track me down.

Lone Wolf immediately replied, Got it.

“You piece of sh*t! You’re just useless garbage!”

When Gavin Zachary heard about what had happened, he started cursing wildly. “You shadow banks are just empty-headed, useless pieces of trash. You’re all jolly to get money, but you all suck at actually doing anything worthwhile.”

He pulled his phone out and called Caleb Nolan. “Caleb, you useless, sh*tty worm, you cheated my money!”

Caleb was having some fun with a woman he’d just met and had absolutely zero idea that the plan hadn’t worked out.

He was taken aback by Gavin’s sudden yelling. “Mr. Zachary, what happened?”

Zachary gritted his teeth as he hissed, “What happened to making Linton Group bankrupt? You managed to do the opposite and plump them up even more. They gobbled up my 1.5 billion!”

“What?” Caleb said, shocked. “How could that be? My plan was seamless!”
