Lord Protector Novel

Zeke walked towards them and said, “Dad, mom and Lacey, let’s go.”

As he spoke, he took Missy over and carried him in his arms.

“But these fruits...” Daniel was reluctant to part with his fruits.

Thinking about it, Zeke said, “Let’s give these fruits to the other residents.”

“Okay!” agreed Daniel.

The family got onto the car.

However, everyone remained silent in the car, causing the atmosphere to become slightly awkward.

Even Missy fell asleep in Zeke’s arms.

In the end, Zeke was the one who broke the silence.

“Dad, mom, why are you selling fruits on the streets? Just a day’s income from the Linton Group is enough to spend for the rest of your lives!”

Hannah sighed. “Let Lacey tell you.”

Lacey explained, “Actually, right after you left, Clyde took control over the Linton Group. In order to survive, I looked for jobs everywhere. However, as Clyde blacklisted me, none of the companies dared to recruit me. In the end, Clyde forced me to return to the Linton Group and continue managing it. However, he only pays me five thousand a month. As the sole breadwinner of the family, I had no choice but to agree. Five thousand is barely enough to pay for the family’s living expenses. There’s not enough money for Missy’s medical fees. Hence, Dad and Mom could only sell fruits on the streets to save up money.”

What an asshole!

Zeke clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palm.

Clyde is trying to back the Hinton family into a corner! He even wants Missy to die from his illness.

I’ll definitely take revenge on him!

Zeke consoled, “Don’t worry, Dad, Mom and Lacey. I’ll definitely seek justice for you. What’s ours can never be snatched away from us!”

Hannah sighed heavily. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s been so many years. We’ve gotten used to it already. What about you? Aren’t you living a good life as a prince in Atlantis? Why did you suddenly return to Eurasia?”

Zeke was puzzled. “What prince? What are you talking about, mom?”

David lit a cigarette and said, “Zeke, you don’t have to hide it from us anymore. We already know the truth. Three years ago, as you were unable to resist Princess Leia’s temptation, and you abandoned your wife to become a prince at Atlantis.”

Zeke was astounded. “Why would you think of that? Do you think that I’m such an irresponsible man? Furthermore, Princess Leia’s assets are nothing to me. They can’t tempt me at all. I’ve never seen Princess Leia for these three years or even contacted her!”

Really?

A suspicious look crossed Daniel, Hannah and Lacey’s faces.

Zeke knew that everything he said would be useless.

He could only prove his innocence through his actions.

Hence, he assured, “Dad, Mom, Lacey, don’t worry. I’ll make all of you believe in me.”

Believe me! I did not immerse myself in luxuries for these three years. Instead, I was battling courageously on the battlefield!
