Lucille glared at Zeke, planning to ignore him.
Zach, on the other hand, approached Zeke and snorted, “Hey, Williams! Why are you here? Don’t tell me you’re participating in the auction? Hahaha!”
Lucille scoffed, “He probably can’t make it past the gates, much less participate in the auction!”
Zach slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “How silly of me! He’s the child the Williams family won’t recognize. He can’t even set foot into the Williams residence, much less Reinz Pharmaceutical.
Zeke glanced at the two of them and commented indifferently, “I’d advise you against participating in this auction. It might be a trap. Don’t end up losing all your assets to an outsider.”
Nonsense!
Zach spat, “You must have eaten too many sour grapes to have such a sour attitude. Grandma, ignore him. Let’s go.”
Lucille snorted, “You’re just worried we’d succeed and become the Great Marshal’s business partners. Don’t worry about that. When we become a shareholder of Reinz Pharmaceutical, the first thing we’ll do is chase you out of Atheville.”
Zeke shrugged indifferently. “I warned you.”
He then entered the auction venue.
Lucille and Zach were stunned. How did he enter so easily?
Zach snapped out of his shock and said, “He might have entered as the second boss of Eurasia Pictures. In other words, he’s one of the Great Marshal’s business partners.”
Lucille shook her head. “That’s not the point. More importantly, is he actually going to participate in the auction?”
Zach’s face fell. “That’s a strong possibility. We can’t let him succeed. If his connection with Great Marshal becomes stronger, the Williams family might not be able to deal with him any longer. Let’s head inside, quickly.”
Conrad was the man in charge of the auction. He had sided with the Williams family at every opportunity, and with his help, the Williams family managed to obtain thirty percent of the Reinz Pharmaceutical shares with fifty billion.
Everyone was envious of the Williams family; Lucille and Zach were ecstatic.
They were now the second boss of the Atheville branch of Reinz Pharmaceutical. In other words, they were the Great Marshal’s right hand when it came to the pharmaceutical industry.
With this relationship alone, the Williams family would obtain a status equivalent to a noble.
Lucille jumped up in joy and instructed, “Zach, quick, inform the family of the news and announce a three-day-long celebration in the Williams family home!”
Zach laughed. “Haha! That’s a great idea! Such an occasion is worth celebrating for thirty days, let alone three! Oh right, grandma. Let’s invite Zeke to the celebrations. Wasn’t he saying something about how this was all a plot against the Williams family? Did he really think he was better than us just because he owns fifty percent of Eurasia Pictures shares? We need to strike him hard and teach him a lesson. The Williams family is something that will always be out of his reach.”
Lucille nodded. “Great plan! I’ll leave it to you then.”
At that moment, Zeke was meeting the man in charge of the Atheville branch of Reinz Pharmaceutical, Winston Golf, in secret.
Winston was kneeling in front of Zeke, not daring to breathe too hard or even look up at him.
This man is the founder of Reinz Pharmaceutical, the nation’s asset, the Great Marshal! I’m not even fit to be in the same room as him.
Zeke sipped his tea as he inquired, “You’re the man in charge of the Atheville branch of Reinz Pharmaceutical. Why did you leave the auction to the Lewis family?”
Winston replied respectfully, “Mr. Williams, Theodore recommended Conrad to take over the auction. He’s an influential man in Atheville, so... I didn’t dare defy him.”
Zeke questioned, “Do you know the reason for his behavior?”
