The butler had a bitter smile on his face.
Lucille was biased to the point where an outsider like him could barely continue to watch.
Zach and Zeke were twin brothers, but the way she treated them was worlds apart.
Soon, Lucille reached Trust Media.
Arrogantly, she chased the receptionist away by smacking her with her cane, as she sat down on the receptionist’s seat.
“Get your boss, Zeke Williams, to come out here. Tell him that his grandmother is here for him.”
As she was her superior’s grandmother, the receptionist could only seethe silently before running to get Zeke.
After hearing the receptionist, Zeke huffed bitterly, “My grandmother? Is she unashamed to call herself that? Has she not opened her eyes to reality yet? Does she still think that I’m still the abandoned son of the Williams family whom everyone can bully?”
He stood up and walked out of his office.
Lacey quickly grabbed Zeke’s arm. “Zeke, I’ll come with you. You’re not at fault for this. I’ll help you talk to her.”
Zeke was amused by her words.
If his grandmother would listen to reason, he would not have needed to go to jail back then.
Funny.
The moment Zeke came out, Lucille jabbed her finger and began cursing at him.
“You ungrateful brat. You’d set your own family up? Are you still human? Hurry up and call Brent Jenkins to release your brother. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Zeke muttered, “Let’s put aside the question of whether I’d set Zach up or not. Let me ask you this instead. Are those who set their family up not human?”
Zeke muttered, “Let’s put aside the question of whether I’d set Zach up or not. Let me ask you this instead. Are those who set their family up not human?”
Lucille huffed, “Of course.”
Zeke continued, “Who was the one who came up with the idea of sending me to jail in place of Zach back then? Who was it? Are they human?”
Lucille slammed her cane repeatedly on the ground as she hissed, “You lowly creature! How dare you imply that I’m not human. You’re disrespecting your elders!”
Zeke raised his brows. “Oh, does that mean you’re admitting that you’d set me up back then?”
“I...” Lucille fell silent.
It was now that she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
This abandoned son of the Williams family had become wittier than before.
Instead, Lucille panned out, “I don’t want to waste any more time. Zach was sent to jail because of you, so you have to get him out.”
Zeke asked, “I sent him to jail? Did I ask him to kill the old lady on the streets? Was I the one who asked him to spread rumors? He only has himself to blame. What does this have to do with me?”
Lucille raged, “In other words, you’re not going to save him?”
Zeke replied, “Sorry, but no.”
“Well, well, well.” The vein on Lucille’s temple popped. “Zeke Williams, you’re starting to become rebellious. Do you really think that the minor power that you have will let you do anything you like to the Williams family? Don’t you know that we have a general in the family? One day, we’ll strip you of your military post.”
Lucille huffed angrily as she left.
Zeke answered, “I look forward to it.”
Lacey’s face was drained of its color. “Why is she like this? She’s too biased to Zach. She can’t differentiate right from wrong.”
Zeke smiled wryly.
In the past, he had pitied Lacey and her family when their grandfather, Adam, had targeted them.
Now, it seemed like he was in a worse situation than them.
If he had not misheard Lucille earlier, she had mentioned that there was a general in the Williams family.
When did the Williams family have a general?
Zeke sent a message to Wolf’s Greed, asking him to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, before Lucille return to the Williams family residence, she called Conrad Lewis.
She requested for Conrad to send Ryker, his son, and a general, to save Zach.
After listening to her words, Conrad sighed.
Lucille tensed when she heard his sigh. “Mr. Lewis, why are you sighing? What’s wrong? Is it too difficult? We’d agreed back then that your son, Ryker, will assist me when I deal with Zeke.”
