Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 400

He scrambled forward to greet him. “Teeth, what a coincidence. Fancy meeting you here.”

“Teeth, can you wait in the car for a while? I have a small matter to attend to here. When it’s done, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Teeth sneered. “Setting the meal aside, let me ask you this - what the f**k do you take me as?”

Humpty was astonished as he heard this. “Teeth, what do you mean?”

Teeth replied angrily, “We had a deal - I was the one who was supposed to frame Zeke Williams. Why did you hire my subordinate?”

The anxiety in Humpty spiked up.

I did f*****g look for you, but you told me you were busy and didn’t have time, so you told me to look for your subordinate.

Now that I’ve hired your subordinate, yet you’re biting back at me?

Not to mention the person involved is present right now. How could you say it out loud?

He pretended to be bewildered by Teeth’s statement. “Teeth, I don’t understand what you mean. How about you stay in the car and wait till I’m done. We’ll talk about this later.”

Teeth was seething. “You don’t understand? I’ll make you understand!”

“When you were chasing after Summer Mills, you deliberately hired someone to plant false evidence indicating that Ruby Baxter was accepting student bribes. Then you wanted to look for an opportunity to return Ruby Baxter’s innocence. This would make her indebted to you, thus allowing her to give her daughter, Summer Mills’ hand in marriage to you.”

“Nevertheless, you didn’t foresee Zeke Williams barging into your scheme. You simply improvised and blamed this crime on him! We originally had a deal - I would be the one to frame Zeke Williams myself. Why did you hire my subordinate instead?” Teeth scowled.

The crowd was instantly riled up.

There might be another side to the truth.

There was a possibility that the perpetrator in their minds was a good guy, and Mr. Charlie, who came off as a good guy, could be the mastermind and culprit behind all this.

Ruby eyeballed Humpty and shot him a question, “Charlie, is what he’s saying true?”

Humpty promptly came up with an argument, “Aunt Ruby, don’t listen to his nonsense. I don’t even know him.”

Ruby doubted what he had said. “Why would you call him Teeth if you don’t even know him?”

Humpty tried to persuade her. “I... I hardly know him.”

Teeth interrupted, “You hardly know me? That’s bullshit. Remember when you came to me to get your matters resolved? You even offered your mistress to me. How could you say you hardly know me?”

Wow!

The crowd went wild.

It was yet another jaw-dropping piece of news.

Today’s ‘movie’ was out of this world.

Teeth then glanced at the blondie. “Blondie, what the f**k do you think you’re doing? How dare you snatch your boss’ job? We’ve already agreed that I was the one who was going to take up the task of framing Williams.”

The blondie freaked out and subconsciously said, “Teeth, did you forget? Mr. Charlie did call you here in the first place. But you told him you were busy and didn’t have time, so you asked him to look to me for help.”
