Lucille sighed. “Mr. Lewis, it’s not that I don’t want to discipline him, but I am in no place to do so.”
“How can the high and mighty Williams family not have the ability to discipline a child of theirs? That’s ridiculous,” Conrad mocked.
“Mr. Lewis, please hear me out,” Lucille requested. “You are aware of the fact that the only reason my Williams family hasn’t been able to develop as far as we’d like is our lack of privilege, yes? As a general, Zeke Williams is way out of our league. We simply have no way of containing him.”
“How did you know he became a general?” Conrad asked.
“The last time Zeke went to Oakheart City, it was the colonel who greeted him at the airport personally. Who else apart from a general would get that kind of treatment?”
Conrad chuckled. “So, the Williams family has fallen victim to his tricks as well. I asked my son, who’s actually a general, to search him up in their archives. There has never been a general in Eurasia with the last name of Williams. Furthermore, at his young age, how could he possibly be a general? He’s just a lowly soldier. Asking the colonel to greet his arrival was probably just a front he put on to rub in your family’s faces.”
What?
Lucille was taken aback. “So that ba****d has only ever been a soldier? How dare he mock us that way? He truly deserves to die. I even reached out to him and invited him back into our family, but he turned me down! He’s getting in over his head.”
Conrad continued, “So, what about what he has done to our family...”
Conrad continued, “So, what about what he has done to our family...”
Lucille replied, “Mr. Lewis, don’t worry. I will force him to apologize to you personally.”
Conrad shook his head, “No. I want his life. At the very least, I want to break both his legs.”
Lucille gritted her teeth before answering, “Of course. However, if he involves the military power in this matter, I hope your son could help to back up the Williams family.”
Conrad replied, “That wouldn’t be a problem. By the way, I have also heard that Zach has proposed to my daughter? After this, I’ll let my daughter marry into the Williams family. By then, my son will be your grandson-in-law. Whatever privilege he has belongs to your family as well.”
Lucille was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”
Lucille would never have thought that Conrad was doing all of this to gobble up her family’s legacy.
After hanging up, Lucille hurried off to find her most beloved grandson, Zach Williams.
Zach and Zeke Williams looked mostly similar and even had similar figures to boot.
However, there was a sinister shadow between Zach’s brows that differed him from Zeke.
Lucille told Zach everything that had happened to Zeke Williams.
After listening to everything, Zach’s eyes widened in twisted joy. “I knew it! I knew that ba****d could never have become a general. He deserves to die for mocking our family like this.”
Lucille replied, “Zach, the Lewis family wants to kill Zeke this time. At the very least, they want to break both his legs. Conrad Lewis even promised me that after that was done, he would agree to your marriage with Robin Lewis. What do you think our next step should be?”
Zach thought about it for a while before he said, “Grandma, here’s what I have in mind. The blood running in Zeke’s veins still belongs to that of the Williams family. If we allow him to be killed by the Lewis family, we’ll get talked down upon for betraying our own family member. How about we break both his legs instead? That way, it’s entirely up to him if he lives or dies after that.”
Lucille nodded. “That’s a good idea. Zach, you’ve really grown a lot from before. Your plans are becoming more and more detailed. In a few more years, you can take over my place and become head of the household.”
Zach was more than happy to hear that. “Thank you, Grandma. Oh, I heard that Zeke and his wife, Lacey Hinton, are truly in love. If we start our revenge on him through Lacey, I’m sure it’ll be much more efficient.”
