Lucille’s face turned bright red from anger. “Did you just call me an old witch?”

“Yeah. Repeat after me... An old witch,” Nancy answered, drawing out the last three words in emphasis.

Dawn blinked dumbly.

Hahahaha!

Here I was, thinking that this old witch was mean. Nancy is on a whole different level, and in a really satisfying way!

Lucille was so furious that she could not speak.

Nancy pressed forth, “Zeke, show the evidence to this old witch and prove our innocence.”

Zeke threw his phone towards Lucille.

Lucille felt nothing but blind terror after she finished watching the video.

In the video, Ryker was kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at his own head, with a look of remorse sprawled on his face.

“I’d colluded with bandits and framed innocent civilians. I have committed a grave crime. I have broken the principles of the military and also the trust of the people.”

“I’m willing to offer my life as penance!”

Bang!

A gunshot sounded and Ryker fell onto his own a pool of blood.

His eyes were still wide open as though his soul was in eternal torment!

The phone in Lucille’s hand dropped to the ground.

Her face paled with disbelief.

Ryker took his own life? How is that possible?

He must’ve been forced by Zeke!
Lucille’s face turned bright red from anger. “Did you just call me an old witch?”

It turns out that I’d greatly underestimated Zeke’s capabilities!

She took a deep breath and recomposed herself before gritting out, “Very well. It seems like I have underestimated you, Zeke Williams.”

“Just you wait. Now that you’ve driven Ryker to his death, the Lewis family will do everything in their power to destroy you.”

“Don’t forget, the Lewis family has a secret weapon!”

“You and your Linton Group will perish!”

She walked out on unsteady feet, looking like she had just aged at least a decade.

Before she was out of the room, Zeke spoke, “This is my last warning to you. You’d better give up your control over the Williams family...” He paused abruptly.

“Oh, I forgot. The Williams family has become the Lewis family’s puppet, and you don’t have a say in anything.”

“I will take down the Lewis family first, then make you watch as I take over the Williams family.”

“I want to prove to you that you made an extremely stupid decision for sending me to prison back then, supporting my twin brother as the head of the family.”

Lucille looked at Zeke with conflicting emotions. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Finally, she left without another word.

A sense of foreboding filled her heart. What he said, might very well become a reality!

As soon as Lucille left, everything surrounded Zeke.
