Wolf’s Greed shot him a look of contempt. “Is the Williams family full of cowards? How shameful.”
He ignored the two of them and commanded, “Take the imposter down!”
Wolf’s Greed’s men swarmed the imposter and tied him up.
The imposter was frightened and screamed in hysteria, “Don’t kill me... Please let me off...”
There was a stench of excretion and egestion in the air.
The man was so scared that he had lost control of all his biological functions.
Boom!
Zach and Lucille’s minds were blown.
That man was an imposter! We, the Williams family, bowed to an imposter and served him like a slave... I can’t bear to even think of it! Wait, that’s not the point. How did Zeke know of this beforehand? It’s as though Zeke is omniscient. What’s with this mysterious ability?
Wolf’s Greed stomped on the imposter and demanded, “Tell me who instructed you to impersonate the Great Marshal.”
The fake Great Marshal had broken down mentally, so he quickly admitted, “It was Robin Lewis... Robin Lewis told me to do so.”
Wolf’s Greed’s cold glare swept toward Robin, who was shuddering as she broke out in a cold sweat.
F***! This is the worst case scenario! What now?
Wolf’s Greed strode towards Robin and asked, “So you’re the mastermind?”
In her panic, she pointed at Lucille and screamed, “I’ll admit everything, general! Grandma... grandma told me to do this! She told me she’ll make Zach divorce me and ruin my reputation if I didn’t!”
What? Lucille nearly threw a fit of rage.
I knew this granddaughter-in-law my mine was unreliable, but I didn’t expect her to betray me outright! Firstly, you get someone to pose as the Great Marshal to deceive us, and then you dare try using me as a scapegoat? How cruel and despicable!
Lucille hurriedly defended herself. “General, don’t listen to her. I didn’t know about this imposter. Everything was planned by Robin.”
Wolf’s Greed snapped impatiently, “So, which one of you is it? If you don’t confess, I’ll just have to arrest both of you.”
Robin pointed at Lucille. “It was her! Take her away! The Williams family bullied me, so I wanted to get my brother, a general, to stand up for me. To deal with my brother, grandma got someone to impersonate the Great Marshal to scare me.”
Wolf’s Greed commented, “That sounds logical and conceivable enough.”
I...
Lucille began to cough up blood.
What kind of a granddaughter-in-law is this? Even a prostitute would be more loyal than her!
Lucille retorted, “She’s lying! I would never dare get someone to impersonate Great Marshal! Zach, tell him the truth! You were here the entire time. You would know!”
Zach was torn between both sides. Robin was his newlywed wife and the daughter of the Lewis family, while Lucille was his grandmother...
He did not know who to side with.
Robin hurriedly sent Zach a message. If you accuse grandma, you’ll be the head of the Williams family. Don’t worry. My brother will get her out after.
The words ‘head of the Williams family’ put a blindfold over Zach’s conscience.
Once he becomes the head of the Williams family, he would have the Lewis family on his side. No one would be able to offend him in Atheville.
