Lord Protector Novel

Emma confirmed, “You heard it right, Mom. There's really one hundred and thirty million in it.”

Tears streamed down Madeline's cheeks as she said, “More than a hundred million... Ordinary people like us can't even earn a fraction of it throughout our lifetime. Tell me, Emma. Where did you get this money from?”

Emma replied, “Of course, it's from my bet. Zeke must've helped me to bet on him when he borrowed fifty thousand from me back then. Now that he won, we earned more than a hundred million.”

Madeline's lips twitched against her will, making her feel like slapping herself.

Zeke had given their family more than a hundred million without showing off to the world.

Keaton's family, on the other hand, began showing off and even insulted Madeline's family ever since the former was assigned an insignificant role of a team leader.

Keaton's family was like a family of clowns compared to Zeke.

After approving Zeke one-sidedly, Madeline began to find Keaton and his mother annoying. Hence, she requested them to leave in a polite manner, “Poppy, Keaton, my mental health hasn't been in its best condition recently. I need to take a nap now. I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask you to leave. Next time, I'll get Zeke to treat you two and our neighbors to a meal. It'll be his punishment. I can't believe this. How could he not inform us after giving our family over a hundred million?”

It was obvious that Madeline was blatantly showing off.

After receiving the “eviction order,” blood drained from Poppy's and Keaton's faces.

However, Keaton was unwilling to accept the outcome.

Hence, he put up his last struggle.

He advised, “Emma, marriage is a big affair. You have to think it through properly. In today's world, money isn't everything—”

Suddenly, Sasha snorted. “Didn't someone say we're living in a society where nothing is possible without money? Don't you think your statements are quite contradicting?”

“I...” Keaton was too furious to utter a single sentence.

Nevertheless, he still decided to be thick-skinned and said in a threatening manner, “Emma, don't forget that you've offended my general manager, Brandon Hilton. He's a petty person, and he'll definitely get his revenge on you. No matter how much money you have, without power, he'll never let you off the hook. If you pick me, I'll persuade him to forgive you. In fact, this is your only chance. I hope you won't let it go to waste.”

Emma threw another question back at him. “Oh, by the way, isn't it working hours now? Why are you at my house instead of the office, Keaton?”

The man seemed to be proud of himself as he responded, “I'm a team leader now. So I can just assign my members to handle my tasks. Whether I go to the office doesn't matter.”

“Really?” Emma snickered. “So you're saying the company can function without you? Basically, you're just being paid to do nothing.”

Keaton answered without hesitation, “Of course.”

Emma and Sasha exchanged glances as if they were discussing something among themselves using telepathy.

Then, the two women nodded simultaneously.

This kind of person would only bring harm more than benefit to Linton Group if he continued working there.

Emma asked, “Keaton, do you have the contact number to Linton Group's Human Resource Department?”

The man replied, “Of course. The head of the department, Nathan Jordan, is my buddy.”

“Could you please give me the Human Resource Department's contact number?” Emma said.

Since she had not assumed her post yet, it was natural for her not to have the department's contact number.

Keaton, who misunderstood her words, was thrilled. “Emma, are you planning to look for a job at Linton Group? Well, you don't have to worry. Instead, you can leave this to me. Since I'm close to Nathan, I'll definitely get a great job for you. Come on. Tell me. What position would you like?”

Emma replied, “You don't have to be bothered about this. All you need to do is give me the contact number.”
