“Remember? Zeke Williams was also known as ‘Master Williams’,” Helen reminded them. “Many people of the nobility yearned to establish ties with Master Williams, so it makes sense for him to know a few of them. I bet he got someone to bail him out!”

Everyone drew in a sharp gasp.

“Yeah, that sounds reasonable. We shouldn’t have tried...”

“What about the money? He’s asking for a hundred billion now...”

“This might be the end of my family... it’s all his fault!”

“Don’t worry. I’m sure we can get past this hurdle united as one.”

“He’s dead meat once Drake arrives!”

Cobra, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “Send me to Trust Media first.”

“Why?” Helen asked, ignorant of the fact that Cobra had been forced to kneel before the doors of Trust Media just hours before.

“I... I want to haunt him like a ghost!” Cobra growled, his face a beet red. He was too embarrassed to speak the truth.

“Nice!” Helen said, giving him a thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, at Trust Media...

Lacey sat at her desk, looking utterly defeated.

She did not have the energy to clean up the mess before her anymore.

All she could do was rack her brains and try to come up with a way to rescue Zeke.

Suddenly, Zeke and Brent burst into the office.

Pleasantly surprised, Lacey rushed up to Zeke and asked, “Is everything alright?”

“Apologies, Ms. Hinton. We arrested your husband without proper investigation,” Brent said hurriedly. “Mr. Williams is innocent, and we sincerely apologize for the trouble we have caused for both of you.”

Lacey heaved a huge sigh of relief as happy tears spilled from her eyes.

“I was so scared, Zeke! I couldn’t imagine how I was going to live without you...”

“I’m fine, Lacey! No need to worry,” Zeke cooed, wiping her tears away with his fingers. “Let’s clean up the office first.”

Lacey nodded. “Okay.”

Brent looked at the mess in the office and asked curiously, “Ms. Hinton, did someone trash the office?”

Lacey nodded again.

“Leave it to us. I promise this kind of nonsense won’t happen ever again!” Brent said confidently. “Just drop us a call whenever someone intrudes upon your property!”

Brent took out a copy of his name card from his pocket and handed it to Lacey with both hands.

Lacey was delighted by his gesture.

There’s no need to fear when the director of the police station is on our side!

Brent exited the office only after seeking approval from Zeke.

He ran into Cobra, who had been kneeling at the door with an anguished expression, the moment he stepped out of the building.
