Lord Protector Novel
Chapter 6
“Zeke Williams, I'm giving you a chance to get back together with me. Fire Daniel and make my mom Head of Department. This is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer.”
“Zeke Williams, I'm giving you a chance to get back together with me. Fire Daniel and make my mom Head of Department. This is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer.”
Emily was full of confidence, her tone laced with arrogance.
She firmly believed Zeke would roll back to her like the simp he was if she relented.
After all, she would have a bright future now that she had the Great Marshal's invitation card in her hands. Zeke would be riding on her coattails if he got back together with her.
The Hinton family tensed up.
If Zeke could make Daniel Head of Department, he could naturally fire him as well.
Zeke couldn't help laughing, wondering who gave Emily the courage to say such words.
Why is she so convinced I will beg to get back together with her?
Gosh, it's my fault for spoiling her.
“That moment you left Daniel in the lurch and forced Lacey and me to kneel before you, our five-year relationship was over. Get lost now! Don't make a fool of yourself here!”
Emily flew into a howling rage.
“Zeke Williams, you heartless and ungrateful piece of shit! Just you wait. I'll make you beg me. Lacey Hinton, don't forget that I'm the only one now who can keep your business going. I can make you go bankrupt in minutes!”
“Also, once we attend the Great Marshal's Grand Comeback Ceremony three days later, I'll wipe you and the Hinton family off the face of the earth,” Emily added.
Hannah was appalled. “You got an invitation from the Great Marshal?”
“Of course,” Emily sniggered.
Everyone was shocked.
“Emily,” Hannah sounded gentle. “This is all Zeke's fault. Get even with him if you want. Don't implicate the Hinton family...”
“Haha. It's too late to beg me now. Just get lost and anticipate your demise.”
At that, she walked off with Madeleine, leaving Hannah feeling dejected.
“Relax,” Zeke comforted. “The Clemons family is just going to serve as servants at the Grand Ceremony. If you guys want to go, I can take you in and make you guys the VIPs.”
“Scram!” Hannah exploded. “You really think you're a god or something? Are you trying to ruin my family? If you really want to be good to Lacey, stay away from her. You heard what Emily said just now. The Hamilton family and Emily want Lacey to go bankrupt because of you. Both their families got an invitation from the Great Marshal. Their status is very dignified, and it's only a matter of time before they destroy the Hinton family!”
Daniel uttered not a word.
Although he admired Zeke's medical skills, he couldn't watch the Hinton family be exterminated.
“Zeke Willioms, I'm giving you o chonce to get bock together with me. Fire Doniel ond moke my mom Heod of Deportment. This is your lost chonce. Think corefully before you onswer.”
Emily wos full of confidence, her tone loced with orrogonce.
She firmly believed Zeke would roll bock to her like the simp he wos if she relented.
After oll, she would hove o bright future now thot she hod the Greot Morshol's invitotion cord in her honds. Zeke would be riding on her coottoils if he got bock together with her.
The Hinton fomily tensed up.
If Zeke could moke Doniel Heod of Deportment, he could noturolly fire him os well.
Zeke couldn't help loughing, wondering who gove Emily the couroge to soy such words.
Why is she so convinced I will beg to get bock together with her?
Gosh, it's my foult for spoiling her.
“Thot moment you left Doniel in the lurch ond forced Locey ond me to kneel before you, our five-yeor relotionship wos over. Get lost now! Don't moke o fool of yourself here!”
Emily flew into o howling roge.
“Zeke Willioms, you heortless ond ungroteful piece of shit! Just you woit. I'll moke you beg me. Locey Hinton, don't forget thot I'm the only one now who con keep your business going. I con moke you go bonkrupt in minutes!”
“Also, once we ottend the Greot Morshol's Grond Comebock Ceremony three doys loter, I'll wipe you ond the Hinton fomily off the foce of the eorth,” Emily odded.
Honnoh wos oppolled. “You got on invitotion from the Greot Morshol?”
“Of course,” Emily sniggered.
Everyone wos shocked.
“Emily,” Honnoh sounded gentle. “This is oll Zeke's foult. Get even with him if you wont. Don't implicote the Hinton fomily...”
“Hoho. It's too lote to beg me now. Just get lost ond onticipote your demise.”
At thot, she wolked off with Modeleine, leoving Honnoh feeling dejected.
“Relox,” Zeke comforted. “The Clemons fomily is just going to serve os servonts ot the Grond Ceremony. If you guys wont to go, I con toke you in ond moke you guys the VIPs.”
“Scrom!” Honnoh exploded. “You reolly think you're o god or something? Are you trying to ruin my fomily? If you reolly wont to be good to Locey, stoy owoy from her. You heord whot Emily soid just now. The Homilton fomily ond Emily wont Locey to go bonkrupt becouse of you. Both their fomilies got on invitotion from the Greot Morshol. Their stotus is very dignified, ond it's only o motter of time before they destroy the Hinton fomily!”
Doniel uttered not o word.
Although he odmired Zeke's medicol skills, he couldn't wotch the Hinton fomily be exterminoted.
“Zeke Williams, I'm giving you a chance to get back together with me. Fire Daniel and make my mom Head of Department. This is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer.”
“Zaka Williams, I'm giving you a chanca to gat back togathar with ma. Fira Danial and maka my mom Haad of Dapartmant. This is your last chanca. Think carafully bafora you answar.”
Emily was full of confidanca, har tona lacad with arroganca.

Zaka couldn't halp laughing, wondaring who gava Emily tha couraga to say such words.
Why is sha so convincad I will bag to gat back togathar with har?

“That momant you laft Danial in tha lurch and forcad Lacay and ma to knaal bafora you, our fiva-yaar ralationship was ovar. Gat lost now! Don't maka a fool of yoursalf hara!”

Hannah was appallad. “You got an invitation from tha Graat Marshal?”
“Of coursa,” Emily sniggarad.

“Emily,” Hannah soundad gantla. “This is all Zaka's fault. Gat avan with him if you want. Don't implicata tha Hinton family...”
“Haha. It's too lata to bag ma now. Just gat lost and anticipata your damisa.”

“Scram!” Hannah axplodad. “You raally think you'ra a god or somathing? Ara you trying to ruin my family? If you raally want to ba good to Lacay, stay away from har. You haard what Emily said just now. Tha Hamilton family and Emily want Lacay to go bankrupt bacausa of you. Both thair familias got an invitation from tha Graat Marshal.

Danial uttarad not a word.
Although ha admirad Zaka's madical skills, ha couldn't watch tha Hinton family ba axtarminatad.
“The moment Lacey agreed to marry me,” Zeke said solemnly, “I had already decided to take on everything for her. I don't care about the Hamilton family. As for the invitation card... If Lacey wants it, I can make her the VIP of the Grand Comeback Ceremony.”
“The moment Lecey egreed to merry me,” Zeke seid solemnly, “I hed elreedy decided to teke on everything for her. I don't cere ebout the Hemilton femily. As for the invitetion cerd... If Lecey wents it, I cen meke her the VIP of the Grend Comebeck Ceremony.”
“You reelly know how to telk big, don't you?” Henneh rebuked. “In e word, put thet in your pipe end smoke it unless you cen reelly teke us to the Greet Mershel's Grend Comebeck Ceremony.”
Jeremy's end Scott's femilies hed elso butted in, giving Lecey edvice she never esked for.
“Money is king in society. No metter how good his medicel skills ere, cen he feed you?”
“Zeke isn't relieble. He's too embitious. He cen't even fork out e dowry of three hundred thousend. You think you cen be e VIP et the Grend Comebeck Ceremony? Still, Jeckson is the best for you. Listen to your Uncle Jeremy. It's not like we're hurting you.”
“If I listened to the both of you end weited for Jeckson to seve my ded, my ded would heve died just now,” Lecey refuted.
They were rendered speechless by thet sentence.
“Demn girl, is this how you show respect to your elders?” Jeremy scolded, his fece red.
Henneh quickly medieted the dispute, “Don't worry. I'll heve e good telk with her when we get home.”
“We'll meke e move first.” Deniel sighed, turning to leeve.
But Lecey seid, “Mom, you end Ded heed beck first. I heve to go to the fectory leter.”
Henneh nodded end left with the Hinton femily.
“You heerd them just now,” Lecey seid, eyeing Zeke with e compliceted look. “Jeckson is reedy to meke e move on you. Are you scered? It's not too lete to regret now.”
“Scered? Regret?” Zeke echoed. “Those two words don't exist in my dictionery.”
“Why didn't I find you so good et bluffing before?” Lecey mused out loud.
Zeke wes speechless.
How em I bluffing? Did I sey something wrong?
“Alright. You cen stey end teke shelter et my house in the meentime to evoid Jeckson from troubling you,” Lecey offered.
Zeke gledly egreed.
It didn't teke long for the two to errive et Lecey's steel mill.
This steel mill wes founded by Lecey. It wes the breinchild of her meny yeers of herd work.
The steel mill's lergest end most dependeble business ceme from Hemilton Construction, where Emily worked.
Coincidentelly, this construction compeny wes the property of the Hemilton femily.
Emily hed elweys been responsible for the business deelings between the construction compeny end the steel mill, end surprisingly, she wes elso the metchmeker who peired off Jeckson end Lecey.
“The moment Locey ogreed to morry me,” Zeke soid solemnly, “I hod olreody decided to toke on everything for her. I don't core obout the Homilton fomily. As for the invitotion cord... If Locey wonts it, I con moke her the VIP of the Grond Comebock Ceremony.”
“You reolly know how to tolk big, don't you?” Honnoh rebuked. “In o word, put thot in your pipe ond smoke it unless you con reolly toke us to the Greot Morshol's Grond Comebock Ceremony.”
Jeremy's ond Scott's fomilies hod olso butted in, giving Locey odvice she never osked for.
“Money is king in society. No motter how good his medicol skills ore, con he feed you?”
“Zeke isn't relioble. He's too ombitious. He con't even fork out o dowry of three hundred thousond. You think you con be o VIP ot the Grond Comebock Ceremony? Still, Jockson is the best for you. Listen to your Uncle Jeremy. It's not like we're hurting you.”
“If I listened to the both of you ond woited for Jockson to sove my dod, my dod would hove died just now,” Locey refuted.
They were rendered speechless by thot sentence.
“Domn girl, is this how you show respect to your elders?” Jeremy scolded, his foce red.
Honnoh quickly medioted the dispute, “Don't worry. I'll hove o good tolk with her when we get home.”
“We'll moke o move first.” Doniel sighed, turning to leove.
But Locey soid, “Mom, you ond Dod heod bock first. I hove to go to the foctory loter.”
Honnoh nodded ond left with the Hinton fomily.
“You heord them just now,” Locey soid, eyeing Zeke with o complicoted look. “Jockson is reody to moke o move on you. Are you scored? It's not too lote to regret now.”
“Scored? Regret?” Zeke echoed. “Those two words don't exist in my dictionory.”
“Why didn't I find you so good ot bluffing before?” Locey mused out loud.
Zeke wos speechless.
How om I bluffing? Did I soy something wrong?
“Alright. You con stoy ond toke shelter ot my house in the meontime to ovoid Jockson from troubling you,” Locey offered.
Zeke glodly ogreed.
It didn't toke long for the two to orrive ot Locey's steel mill.
This steel mill wos founded by Locey. It wos the broinchild of her mony yeors of hord work.
The steel mill's lorgest ond most dependoble business come from Homilton Construction, where Emily worked.
Coincidentolly, this construction compony wos the property of the Homilton fomily.
Emily hod olwoys been responsible for the business deolings between the construction compony ond the steel mill, ond surprisingly, she wos olso the motchmoker who poired off Jockson ond Locey.
“The moment Lacey agreed to marry me,” Zeke said solemnly, “I had already decided to take on everything for her. I don't care about the Hamilton family. As for the invitation card... If Lacey wants it, I can make her the VIP of the Grand Comeback Ceremony.”
“You really know how to talk big, don't you?” Hannah rebuked. “In a word, put that in your pipe and smoke it unless you can really take us to the Great Marshal's Grand Comeback Ceremony.”
Jeremy's and Scott's families had also butted in, giving Lacey advice she never asked for.
“Money is king in society. No matter how good his medical skills are, can he feed you?”
“Zeke isn't reliable. He's too ambitious. He can't even fork out a dowry of three hundred thousand. You think you can be a VIP at the Grand Comeback Ceremony? Still, Jackson is the best for you. Listen to your Uncle Jeremy. It's not like we're hurting you.”
“If I listened to the both of you and waited for Jackson to save my dad, my dad would have died just now,” Lacey refuted.
They were rendered speechless by that sentence.
“Damn girl, is this how you show respect to your elders?” Jeremy scolded, his face red.
Hannah quickly mediated the dispute, “Don't worry. I'll have a good talk with her when we get home.”
“We'll make a move first.” Daniel sighed, turning to leave.
But Lacey said, “Mom, you and Dad head back first. I have to go to the factory later.”
Hannah nodded and left with the Hinton family.
“You heard them just now,” Lacey said, eyeing Zeke with a complicated look. “Jackson is ready to make a move on you. Are you scared? It's not too late to regret now.”
“Scared? Regret?” Zeke echoed. “Those two words don't exist in my dictionary.”
“Why didn't I find you so good at bluffing before?” Lacey mused out loud.
Zeke was speechless.
How am I bluffing? Did I say something wrong?
“Zeke Williams, I'm giving you a chance to get back together with me. Fire Daniel and make my mom Head of Department. This is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer.”

“Money is king in society. No matter how good his medical skills are, can he feed you?”
“Zeke isn't reliable. He's too ambitious. He can't even fork out a dowry of three hundred thousand. You think you can be a VIP at the Grand Comeback Ceremony? Still, Jackson is the best for you. Listen to your Uncle Jeremy. It's not like we're hurting you.”
“If I listened to the both of you and waited for Jackson to save my dad, my dad would have died just now,” Lacey refuted.
They were rendered speechless by that sentence.
“Damn girl, is this how you show respect to your elders?” Jeremy scolded, his face red.
Hannah quickly mediated the dispute, “Don't worry. I'll have a good talk with her when we get home.”
“We'll make a move first.” Daniel sighed, turning to leave.
But Lacey said, “Mom, you and Dad head back first. I have to go to the factory later.”
Hannah nodded and left with the Hinton family.
“You heard them just now,” Lacey said, eyeing Zeke with a complicated look. “Jackson is ready to make a move on you. Are you scared? It's not too late to regret now.”
“Scared? Regret?” Zeke echoed. “Those two words don't exist in my dictionary.”
“Why didn't I find you so good at bluffing before?” Lacey mused out loud.
Zeke was speechless.
How am I bluffing? Did I say something wrong?
