The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 15

If truth be told, it was a matter of Levi’s words regarding the investments.

“Oh yeah, don’t you worry,” said Zoey suddenly. “I’ll pay back the five million; hopefully we can reel in some investments as soon as possible.”

“There’s no need for that. Why are we even discussing this topic?”

Levi smiled.

“But you also have to pay back the money, no? How are you going to do that? You haven’t got any money.”

At that, Levi nodded.

“Once we earn enough money from this project, I’m planning to get a house. It’s inappropriate of us to stay with Mom and Dad,” Zoey added.

“Do you still remember our marital home?” asked Levi, remembering suddenly.

“I do. You designed that villa yourself, and it was perfect! What a waste,” Zoey sighed.

“I’m going to take back that villa,” Levi said.

“That villa belongs to the Garrison family now, Levi. Don’t do anything reckless. You can’t fight them,” Zoey persuaded.

“Don’t worry.”

Levi was determined to take back what the Garrison family took from him.

The next day, Zoey was busy looking for investment while Levi stayed home. He wanted to let Zoey run into a stone wall before making the necessary arrangements.

Aaron and Caitlyn looked at Levi who was smoking on the couch, their brows furrowed and they looked sullen.

“Put out the cigarette and come with me! I have something to tell you!” said Aaron coldly, glaring at Levi in revulsion.

Levi stubbed out his cigarette and followed suit.

“Dad, just fire away!”

Aaron’s brows knitted tightly together into a deep frown. “Are you not aware of our situation now?”

“I think we’re good.” Levi smiled. “We got the project and as long as we reel in some investments, Zoey and our future will be bright as day.”

“Yeah, and it’s because Zoey has a promising future, you’re at risk.”

“What?” Levi’s expression changed from delight to puzzlement.

“You should know that once this project is accomplished, Zoey’s net worth will increase by a few billion. She’ll gain a foothold in North Hampton in the future. Do you think you’ll still be worthy of her then?” Aaron said solemnly. “I’m not questioning your abilities, but you have to understand that you just came out of prison and things are different from six years ago. It won’t be easy to start a business again. The gap between you and Zoey will only grow.”

“That’s right,” Caitlyn agreed. “You’re lazing around and doing nothing all day! You don’t even have a decent job. Do you think you’re worthy of my daughter?”

“Exactly! Just imagine how humiliating will it be for Zoey if you’re still her husband by then.”

“We will find a proper time to discuss this with Zoey regarding your divorce! This is for the best, for both you and Zoey! Just prepare yourself,” Aaron sighed.

Levi chuckled. “Mom, Dad, is this what they mean by burning the bridges?”

“What do you mean, burning the bridges? Do you really think that it was you who secured this project? You only butt in a little. It’s because of Zoey’s ability that we got this project, okay?”

“Yeah. In simpler words, this matter has nothing to do with you!”

Levi could only give a half-suppressed laugh in this regard.

“Rest assured, Mom and Dad. I’ll make Zoey the happiest woman in the world!” Levi proclaimed.

Caitlyn glared at him. “And how do you intend to do that? You don’t even have a house! I could have believed when you had that big villa before, but now? You’re just a pauper with zilch! Not to mention you’re staying at my house! Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Just leave for a few days. I don’t want to see you for a while.”

“Yeah, Zoey has been busy recently, and she’s easily distracted when you’re around,” Aaron added on.

Having been kicked out of the house, Levi wasn’t angry.

This was what he owed Zoey.

Downstairs, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled over.

Azure Dragon got out of the car and greeted, “God of War, after you!”

Levi got into the car.

“Aaron, come, quick!” Caitlyn, who was watching through the window, suddenly shouted. “I think Levi just got into a luxury car.”

Aaron hurried over and saw a Rolls-Royce driving past his house.

“That’s a Rolls-Royce Phantom! The car owner must be a big shot! How could’ve Levi gotten into this kind of car?” Aaron said quickly.

“I just saw a figure from the back who looked a little like him. I guess I worried too much,” said Caitlyn with relief. “If he can afford to drive a Rolls-Royce, would we even be staying in this hundred square meters dumpster?”

Aaron snorted. “You’re still hoping on this gigolo?”
