Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 916

Zach frowned and looked nervous. “What did I do?”

He was under the impression that Lacey had found out that he wasn’t actually Zeke.

Lacey continued, “I can’t believe you’re still trying to hide everything from me even now. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll never forgive you.”

After that, she walked out.

Zach was about to stop her when he caught sight of the photograph in her hand.

Instantly, he realized what was going on.

Lacey must have assumed that Zeke was the one in the picture with Robin Lewis.

She probably thought Zeke was dating Robin behind her back.

Zach rolled his eyes and started to change his plan.

He gestured to the guards to let Lacey Hinton go.

After a minute or two, Lucille caught wind of what had happened and hurried over.

She reprimanded, “Zach, why did you let Lacey Hinton go? What are you trying to do?”

Zach said, “Grandma, I don’t think the Lewis family will actually be happy with simply breaking Zeke’s legs. I want to make life miserable for him.”

Lucille asked curiously, “What do you mean by that?”

Zach laughed. “I heard that Zeke takes Lacey more seriously than he does with his own life. If Lacey leaves him, won’t he be better off dead?”

Zach then told Lucille everything about the picture.
Zach then told Lucille everything about the picture.

After Lucille heard that, she finally smiled.

“Zach, that’s a pretty interesting plan you have. If the Lewis family heard about it, I’m sure they’d be more than happy to let you marry Robin. Let’s do it according to your plan.”

Lacey returned to Trust Media.

By then, Zeke had already returned and was smoking in the hall.

When he saw Lacey, he put out his cigarette hurriedly and smiled awkwardly at her. “Lacey, what have you been up to? You’re back late.”

Lacey felt terrible and she said in a small, choked-up voice, “Smoke all you want. I’m not going to care about you anymore.”

Zeke frowned. “Lacey, are you okay? Did someone hurt you?”

Lacey shook her head with reddened eyes. “It’s none of your business.”

After that, she went into her office and slammed the door shut.

Zeke had no idea what was going on.

What’s up with her?

Why’s she ignoring me like that?

Maybe she’s in a bad mood. She should be fine by tomorrow.

Zeke didn’t worry too much about it.

The next day, Lacey received a call from the CEO of Eurasia Pictures.

They said that after some consideration, they felt that it would be a smart choice to work with Trust Media. They asked if she would be available to discuss the details over a meeting.

If she had heard this good news earlier, Lacey would have been overjoyed.

However, she couldn’t muster up any joy at all.

She felt as if she had been betrayed by Zeke Williams.

After calming herself down, Lacey finally walked out of the office and headed toward Eurasia Pictures.

She bumped into Zeke Williams the moment she walked out.

Zeke passed her a bag of freshly prepared food. “Lacey, I bought breakfast for you. You should eat it while it’s hot.”

Lacey hesitated for a second before brushing past Zeke and leaving without another word.

There was nothing sadder than a withered heart.

Zeke wasn’t even trying to explain anything to her. At this point, she had given up on him.

No matter how oblivious Zeke Williams was, even he had finally begun to notice that something was seriously wrong with Lacey.

There had to be some sort of misunderstanding.

He remained in deep thought as he walked into Lacey’s room.

He had just stepped in when he caught sight of a photograph on her nightstand.

He picked it up and after just a quick glance, he got furious instantly.
