In the picture, Zach Williams had an arm around Robin with a bright smile on his face.
Lacey had definitely mistaken Zach for himself.
The only problem was how Lacey had gotten her hands on a picture of Zach.
That could only mean that Zach had met Lacey.
The Williams family had actually dared to anger him once again, and they even dared to toe the line.
And his line was Lacey Hinton.
For that, he would not let the Williams family off easy this time.
However, he’d better explain everything to Lacey now.
He hopped into his car and sped toward Eurasia Pictures.
At the entrance of Eurasia Pictures, Zach was acting all lovey-dovey with Robin.
Zach was the one who had come up with the idea to invite Lacey to Eurasia Pictures.
He wanted Lacey to see “Zeke” and Robin with her own eyes.
Apart from that, he was planning on impersonating Zeke to say something hurtful that would get to her.
He knew for sure that she would leave Zeke Williams after that.
Robin asked carefully, “Zach, are you sure this will work? Won’t she suspect anything?”
Zach replied, “Don’t worry. I look exactly like Zeke and we sound the same too. She definitely won’t notice a thing.”
Robin nodded. “Okay. You have to put on a good show later. I’ll marry you once she leaves Zeke Williams.”
Robin nodded. “Okay. You have to put on a good show later. I’ll marry you once she leaves Zeke Williams.”
As she spoke, Lacey’s car was approaching them.
Zach immediately pulled Robin along with him. “Let’s go. It’s showtime.”
Lacey hadn’t even parked her car yet when she accidentally saw “Zeke” and Robin walking in her direction all wrapped up around each other.
Lacey felt as if her heart had just been ripped out of her chest.
So the two of them had no qualms about being seen together anymore?
The pain in her heart nearly drowned her.
Zach pretended to finally notice Lacey and said in false surprise, “Lacey, what are you doing here?”
Lacey took a deep breath and calmed herself down, trying hard not to cry out loud.
“I want you to tell me what this is all about.”
Zach sighed. “What’s there to tell? It’s exactly what you have seen.”
Lacey could no longer hold back her tears and finally started crying.
He didn’t even bother with any explanation or even try to console her.
How cruel could he be?
“As**ole!” Lacey screamed. “You have betrayed me! You- you’re heartless.”
Zach was annoyed by that. “Betrayed? Heartless? I just needed something to play with. By the way, weren’t you pretty happy when we were together? It’s not like you have anything to lose, right? How have I betrayed you then?”
Robin added salt to her injury. “How can an ugly duckling like you ever wish to marry into the Williams family? Just keep dreaming. Only I can live up to Zeke’s reputation. Isn’t that right, Zeke?”
Zach replied, “Robin, don’t worry. You’re the only one I’ll ever love for the rest of my life. No other woman can even hold a candle to you.”
Zach’s words were like thousands of small knives cutting into Lacey’s heart.
That’s right. I can’t live up to Zeke, nor can I match up to his true love.
I’m nothing but a joke. A complete joke.
She turned around. She was devastated and she just wanted to leave this place.
She would never come back to Atheville again.
However, she had just opened her car door when a car stopped next to her abruptly.
A familiar figure walked down from the car.
It was Zeke Williams!
Lacey looked at Zeke before turning to Zach. Her mind was in overdrive.
How could there be two Zekes?
