Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 495

Zeke looked at her as he smiled and didn’t utter a word anymore.

Seeing that, Sharon felt uneasy when he stared at her and thought to herself. What did he mean?

However, she soon understood his hidden message.

The couple wants to enjoy an intimate moment together. So, I’m the third wheel and the light bulb!

As such, she put a wry smile on her face and said, “I just realize that I’ve to attend a meeting later. Please excuse me for I’ve to get going now.”

Zeke pretended to ask her to stay, “Why don’t you stay here for a little longer?”

At this moment, Sharon was complaining deep in her heart.

You’re so fake! You are the one who don’t want me to stay.

“It’s okay. The meeting is quite important. Please excuse me.”

As soon as Sharon left, Lacey couldn’t wait but popped a question, “Zeke, tell me what happened to Logan Hugh. Why did he kneel before you?”

Zeke replied composedly, “Didn’t I say it before? Logan Hugh kneeled and apologized to me because I got the evidence that he bribed Harvey Hoffman.”

Lacey continued to ask suspiciously, “Is that so? How did you get the evidence though?”

Zeke explained, “Hadley was the one who told me this.”

“I’m sure you’re aware that Hadley used to work with Logan Hugh and was part of the scheme too.

“But when Hadley realized just now that I’m her grandmaster, she wished to mend her mistakes. So, she surrendered to me and told me the truth.”

However, Lacey remained dubious and asked, “Did you say you’re Hadley’s grandmaster? What kind of grandmaster are you?”

Zeke hesitated for a moment because Lacey might be terrified if she knew that he was the grandmaster in the industry of ‘killers’.

After all, a “killer” is even more evil than the underworld to most ordinary people.

Therefore, he chose to lie to her, “I’m the grandmaster in the industry of medicine. Hadley’s master regarded me as her master because I used to give her advice.”

Lacey asked again doubtfully, “Really? But I see you’re not that old...”

Since Lacey was suspicious about it, Zeke immediately changed the subject and said, “That’s enough. Let’s not talk about this and have a drink instead. We’ll drink and get rid of our worries.”

“Okay then.” Since Lacey was in a bad mood, she didn’t intend to continue the topic and started drinking with Zeke.

Logan was aware that he could never escape from this place alone in ten minutes.

Therefore, he made a phone call to his henchman Dawson.

Dawson was a driver in a pharmaceutical company owned by Logan.

Logan instructed him over the phone, “Dawson, pick me up and secretly transport me out of Oakheart City.”

Dawson felt that something was wrong because even Mr. Hugh, the staff officer, needed his assistance to ‘secretly’ transport himself out of Oakheart City.

Nevertheless, as Logan’s henchman, Dawson was aware that he shouldn’t be asking any questions.

As such, he agreed to Logan’s instruction without hesitation and departed right away.

In just ten minutes, he arrived in a cargo van loaded with medicine and pills and met with Logan.

After Logan hid in the pile of medicine, Dawson immediately hoped in the cargo van and sped off to leave the state.

However, when they were about to leave Oakheart City, their cargo van was stuck in a heavy traffic jam.

All the cars couldn’t even move an inch.

As Dawson began to feel anxious, he hopped out to ask one of the drivers.
