“Ha, hahaa, hahhahhaha!”

“Zeke Williams! Are you just trying to prove that your existence? You’re only humiliating yourself by exaggerating things!”

“A grown man going around doing nothing all day except bluffing your way through everything? Ha!”

“We’re talking business right now, and you’re nothing but a useless man dependent on your woman. So keep your mouth shut, and don’t disturb us.”

Zeke Williams was left speechless after being laughed at by Nancy.

Oh no! Look at the fiery temper of mine! Why do I suddenly have the very strong urge to slap her across the face?

But Nancy is Lacey’s cousin and a good friend so I shouldn’t hit her. Forget it!

I shouldn’t hit her!

Zeke pressed his anger down and turned to Daniel Hinton. “Dad, who’s in charge of the Pharmaceutical Department in our company right now?”

“Susan Raynor and I are overseeing it,” answered Daniel.

Zeke nodded and handed Reagan Pharmaceutical’s transferal agreement to Daniel. “Dad, it looks like you and Susan will have to work overtime in the upcoming days. Let’s merge Reagan Pharmaceutical into Linton Group.”

Daniel froze. “What’s this?”


He took the agreement and gave it a quick look. He became emotional and quickly read it over again carefully.

After a while, he looked up as he was shaking with excitement. “Zeke! You... you really did it?”

“Oh my goodness! You were being serious earlier! Wow! Zeke, we were the ones who were dumb for looking down on you.”

“This is amazing! You’re amazing!”

Nancy and Lacey gave each other a look. What nonsense is he rambling on about?

Lacey grabbed the agreement and studied it alongside Nancy.

A few moments later, Nancy exclaimed slack-jawed, “This... Is this the transferal agreement for Reagan Pharmaceutical?”

“How is this possible?”

“This is fake. This has to be fake. This useless man has always been great at faking things.”

Her face was nearly plastered to the agreement, trying to find some kind of evidence to prove that it was fake.

Lacey looked at Zeke with shining bright eyes. “Zeke, is this agreement real?”

Zeke nodded. “Of course. I’ve been with you this whole time. Where would I have the time to go and draft a fake agreement?”

Daniel nodded in agreement. “The Zeke I know wouldn’t go make something like this up just to save face.”

“Zeke, how did you seal the deal with Reagan Pharmaceutical?”

Zeke shrugged. “Well, it’s nothing really.”

“Their major shareholder was originally Logan Hugh. When he planned to set Lacey up, I managed to see through his schemes, then conveniently got myself some dirt on him.”

“So in order to save his own skin, he gave Reagan Pharmaceutical to us.”

Daniel and Hannah immediately became worried. “Logan was going to set Lacey up again? Lacey, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. As long as I’m with Lacey, she’ll be fine,” comforted Zeke.

“Plus, Logan’s schemes have all be uncovered, and he’s been caught. He’ll never be able to hurt Lacey again.”
