Lord Protector Novel

Lacey’s sobs worsened. “Do you know I’ve never trusted anyone as I’ve trusted you? Not even my parents. The proof is right in front of my eyes. How can you ask me to believe in you now? You... You’re a ba****d! Leave. Take everything you’ve given to me and leave. I, Lacey Hinton, am unworthy of you!”

At that, Lacey turned to leave.

Zeke panicked, and he grabbed her arm. “What can I do to make you believe me?”

Lacey gritted out, “I won’t believe in you unless it snows in June!”

She then broke free from his grip and left.

Nancy ran after her as she cursed, “Zeke, I’ll get you back for this. If Lacey does something silly because of you, I’ll murder you even if I die in the process!”

Zeke was about to run after Lacey, but Hannah stopped him.

“Zeke, don’t. Lacey is furious now. She won’t listen to anything you say. The two of you should take some time to calm down before doing anything else.”

He turned to look at Hannah.

Even she had a look of suspicion in her eyes.

It was not her fault. After all, this video almost solidified the fact that Zeke was cheating on Lacey.

Zeke said, “Mom, give me three days to prove my innocence.”

Hannah sighed before she, too, walked away.

Her slumped figure made her look as if she had aged a dozen years.

This news had struck the Hinton family hard.

Zeke took in a deep breath before looking at Hadley. “Hadley Murphy, you’ve really changed my impression of you.”

Hadley replied, “Thank you for your compliment. So what if you’ve bid for a precious raw stone? You lost the one you love. You must feel like dying right now, don’t you? The one who gets the last laugh is the winner.”

Zeke shook his head. “Last laugh? I’m sorry. This has yet to end. I’m sure we’ll meet on the battlefield soon. When that happens, it’s your time to die.”

“I look forward to it.”

After asking the auction staff to keep the two raw stones for him, Zeke left.

Hadley immediately called Logan.

“Ha. What trash Zeke Williams is. That’s the most he could do. He’s already suffering from just a minor trick of mine.”

Upon hearing her words, Logan panicked. “What did you do to him? You didn’t mess around, did you? You’d better not expose our plan.”

Hadley muttered, “Don’t worry. It won’t affect our plan.”

Logan sighed in relief, “Good. I’ve received news that Love in a Fallen City will be completed in three days. When that happens, you and I will strike him together, and we’ll definitely take him down. Before that happens, stay low. You can’t alert him about this.”

Hadley reassured, “Don’t worry. Everything’s under control.”

Zeke walked out of the auction hall. As he looked at the endless blue sky, he breathed in deeply.

“Lacey, I’m sorry. I had been too low-key in the past. There are always a few idiots around us that make you worry. It won’t happen again. Sometimes, I really have to show myself off. So, you’ll only believe in me when it snows in June. Okay. I’ll make it snow in June, then.”

Taking out his phone, he dialed Sole Wolf’s number.

Sole Wolf answered, “What task do you have for me?”
