She turned on her heels and fled.

Alas, Zeke had expected her action and tripped her effortlessly.

As a result, Lucy crashed to the ground, and one of her teeth was knocked out.

At once, she said, “I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean to offend you. Please accept my apology!”

That managed to calm Zeke down.

However, Emma was dumbfounded.

Oh, dear. The situation is getting out of hand. Never in my wildest dream did I expect Zeke to attack Lucy in a vicious manner! This will definitely cause an international dispute. Zeke's in deep trouble. He might even implicate Linton Group!

At once, Emma took Zeke's hand and urged, “Mr. Williams, we need to leave now before it's too late.”

Zeke merely shook his head. “Don't worry. They are no match for me.”

Emma got so anxious that a flush crept up her cheeks. “Mr. Williams, they might be no match for you, but this might cause an international dispute.”


Zeke scoffed. “Her? She isn't important enough to cause one. Besides, she was the one who insulted me first. I was kind enough to spare her family. What else does she want?”

As Zeke was talking to Emma, Lucy took the chance to crawl away.

After confirming that it was safe, she then scrambled to her feet.

Both Leonard and Rodney ran over to her. “Dear, this is horrible. I feel bad for you!”

“Dear, d-don't worry. I'll take revenge for you!”

However, they didn't do anything after uttering words of comfort.

After all, they were no match for Zeke. There was no way they'd risk their lives just for an elderly lady.

Lucy gritted her teeth. “Sheldon, is this how you treat a guest? If you don't take revenge for me today, don't blame me for breaching the contract.”

Hearing that, Sheldon felt his heart sink to his stomach.

As expected, Zeke had implicated him.

Getting to his feet, Sheldon said hastily, “Ms. Lucy, don't you worry. It's part of my duty to avenge you by making sure this man gets punished for his evil deeds!”

He shot Zeke an evil look. “Zeke, you forced me to do this. I wanted to spare your life, but alas, you have a death wish. I shall grant your wish!”

After patting the dust on his hands away, Zeke returned to his seat. “I'm curious how capable the young CEO of Intercontinental Group can be,” he remarked.

In response, Sheldon whipped his phone out and made a call. “Take action now. Yes, right now. No delays!”

After cutting the line, Sheldon scurried over to Lucy. “Ms. Lucy, please take a seat. Time for a good show!”

Lucy sat down as requested. “Hmph! If I'm not satisfied with your solution, I shall call our collaboration off!”

Sheldon promised, “Don't worry. I shall live up to your trust by making sure this b*stard gets the punishment he deserves!”
