Could it be that Mr. Quin showed kindness and spared his life!
Mr. Quin, you ba****d. How dare you spoil my plans! Couldn’t you have kept him a bit longer?
Lacey rushed into Zeke’s arms and cried loudly, “Zeke, you are still alive! Thank god, you are still alive.”
With compassion, Zeke held Lacey in his arms, “Honey, I’m sorry I made you worry.”
Lacey punched Zeke on the chest, “You jerk! Why did you accept Mr. Quin’s challenge?”
“If anything happened to you, how do I go on living? Do you know I nearly died worrying about you?” Lacey bawled.
Zeke comforted her, “Lacey, do not worry. For your sake, I will live and won’t casually take risks.”
Henry gritted his teeth.
Live?
F*** your life.
Mr. Quin might’ve spared you, but I won’t.
He took out his gun again, ready to shoot Zeke.
But before he could take aim, Zeke moved, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Henry, snatching his gun away.
Then, without hesitation, he fired one shot at Henry’s leg.
Argh!
With a scream, Henry fell down on his knees.
Blood quickly spread over his pants, turning them red!
“F***, f***, f***, f***!” Henry’s pain was unbearable, “Zeke, you dare commit crimes in broad daylight! I will ask my God-father to kill you.”
But Zeke ignored Henry and helped Lacey back to her seat, “Lacey, sit down, let me take a look at your injuries.”
But Zeke ignored Henry and helped Lacey back to her seat, “Lacey, sit down, let me take a look at your injuries.”
Lacey, on the other hand, was not unduly concerned about her own slight injuries. Looking at the pools of blood on the floor, she stammered, “Zeke, what should we do now?”
Just then, Aaron scolded angrily, “What do you think? What else?”
“It wasn’t easy for the Hinton family to get this opportunity to prosper. You have just destroyed it.”
“Why are you still standing there doing nothing? Go on, apologize to Mr. Jones and agree to marry him.”
“Otherwise, he will get his God-father Gavin Zachary to come for us. Not only will the Linton Group be destroyed, but our Hinton family will also be pulled up by the roots.”
Zeke will cause the destruction of Riverdale Hintons.
In the past, we have shown him mercy because he was Lacey’s family member.
Nevertheless he did not repent but became worse.
What is past is past. I was too kind, then. This time, let their family be destroyed.
Henry knew that for today, the opportunity to force Lacey into marriage was gone.
He threatened them, “Just you wait. You will regret your decisions. My God-father will show you no mercy. Let’s go...”
“Stand still,” Zeke ordered them, “Did I give you permission to leave?”
“I have brought a guest for you. Before you leave, do wait till you meet the guest.”
Henry was surprised, “Guest? What guest?”
There was a commotion in the corridor outside the door, and many employees gathered there, whispering to each other.
“Huh? What’s the matter with this old man? He’s moving upwards with a kowtow at every third step. Look, his forehead is injured.”
“Hey, I recognize him. Didn’t he bring his godson here to cause trouble some time ago and was driven away by our boss?”
“Yes, that’s him. This time, has he repented and has come here to show respect and apologize?”
“This is a very serious show of repentance. He has been kowtowing from the ground floor right up to the tenth floor...”
Initially, Henry did not associate this guest with his God-father... It just did not make sense.
Nevertheless, Zeke informed him that a ‘guest’ was coming.
Thus, Henry sensed that something was amiss. He then ran to the door and looked outside.
After just one glance, Henry felt as if his whole world had shattered!
