Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 938

Winston shook his head. “No. However, Conrad told me he would use a large sum to fund the Atheville branch under my name in hopes of diluting the share of the Williams family. As for what they have in mind, I’m not sure myself.”

Zeke inhaled sharply. Looks like the Lewis family is aiming for the Williams’ assets after all.

Winston asked in trepidation, “Mr. Williams, shall I go against Conrad?”

Zeke shook his head. “No need for that. Just follow his instructions. We’ll wait and see what they have in store.”

“Alright.”

The moment Winston left, Zach phoned Zeke to ‘invite’ him to a celebratory feast hosted by the Williams family.

Zeke nearly burst into laughter. The Williams family is caught up in a scheme so big that their entire fortune might be all gone overnight, yet they’re hosting a celebratory feast!

Zeke accepted the invitation. I guess I’ll get to watch the Williams family make a fool of themselves.

The celebration feast began at seven in the evening, but Zeke only arrived at seven-thirty.

The Williams residence was brightly lit with festive lights; the large courtyard was filled with tables for a feast.

Other than members of the Williams family, several influential men in Atheville had come to offer the Williams family their congratulations.

Even their servants were given a table and allowed to participate in the feast.

Zeke scanned the surroundings for his ‘biological parents’, but they were nowhere in sight.

He frowned.

I haven’t seen them at all. It’s understandable if I didn’t see them during the celebratory feast, but they weren’t present during Zach’s wedding either. Something is definitely off. Are they avoiding me because they’re too ashamed to meet me? No... The probability of that is minimal.

Zach was the first to notice him. He waved. “Zeke, why are you standing at the gate? Come, quickly!”

Lucille frowned, “Who invited him here? We disowned him long ago!”

Zach played along. “Grandma, I invited him. Didn’t he say this was all a plot to do us in? He even said that the Williams family doesn’t deserve him. I want to let him see for himself whether this was all a scheme and whether the Williams family is as worthless as he thought.”

The crowd burst into laughter.

“Haha! Is that disowned child so haughty now? He said the top family in Atheville doesn’t deserve to take him in!”

“You’d believe him? He’s full of bluffs!”

“It’s obviously a blessing to be able to buy the shares of Reinz Pharmaceutical. How could he say it was all a trap? How ignorant!”

“The Williams family was right to disown him!”

Zeke scoffed, “You all are like frogs who don’t know they’re being cooked in boiling water. How sad.”

Shut up!

Lucille roared, “That’s enough talk. Get seated and stop embarrassing yourself.”

Zach cut in snarkily, “There aren’t any more seats at the guest table. Oh well, I guess you’ll have to sit with the servants.”

Even the blind could see that the Williams family was doing this on purpose.

Zeke sneered, “You’ll be begging me to take a seat at the host’s table soon enough.”

Pfft!

The crowd burst into laughter. Who on earth made this disowned child brazen enough to say something like that?

Zeke took a seat at the servant’s table, but he did not touch or eat anything.

He wanted to wait for the Williams family to invite him to the host’s table.

Soon, Conrad rushed over.

Lucille got up to welcome him personally. She greeted him, “Mr. Lewis, please have a seat. You’re a great benefactor of the Williams family. I won’t let you leave until you’ve had your fill of wine.”

Conrad was breathless and reported in panic, “B-bad news. We’re in trouble!”
