Chapter 1017

Zeke could no longer take their cold attitude.

He flung the wooden box on the table.

The heavy box smashed numerous plates on the table with a thud. Soup splattered everywhere.

The commotion spurred everyone into high alert. They instinctively moved away from the table.

Mdm. Williams burst into anger. “Don’t you think you have gone overboard? We can’t even eat in peace! Do you enjoy seeing us suffer?”

Zeke looked at her nonchalantly. “I’m not bothering anyone. I just thought it’d be nice to add an extra dish for you all. The more the merrier, don’t you think?”

It went without saying that none of them took his words seriously.

“Open the box,” Zeke ordered.

“What are you up to?” Mdm. Williams questioned angrily.

“I asked you to open the box,” he replied curtly.

There was nothing she could do but obey him.

Horror seized the Williams family.

It was a decapitated head.

A head drenched in blood.

Judging from the looks of it, it was John’s.

No one could believe that Zeke Williams actually killed someone from the Luna family.

Zeke’s rage explained everything. He must have found out about the plot they concocted with John, along with their plan to get rid of Lacey.

“Don’t you all have anything to say?” Zeke’s icy voice spelled a question.

Silence pervaded the room.

“Kneel down!” His voice thundered.

The air froze. A chill went down everyone’s spine. It was as if time stopped so that his rage and severity could seep through their bones.

The Williams family was stunned. Their legs gave way and they collapsed on their knees.

But Mdm. Williams was relentless. She tried to appear calm and collected as she forced her back straight, though for a moment, her body shook with an involuntary shudder.

“You thankless brat!” The old lady cried, “I am your grandmother! How could a grandchild ever ask his grandmother to kneel before him? You have no regard for your elders! Aren’t you even afraid of karma?”

Zeke sneered, “Did you say I have no regard for my elders? You should be thankful your head is still intact after everything you’ve done to me! Asking you to simply get on your knees is already mercy! On the ground, now!”

His pent-up bitterness bellowed through the air, compelling the old lady to succumb.

Mdm. Williams could not help but fall on her knees.

“Kneel here for three days and three nights. Short-change me and you will end up like John.”

Zeke turned and left without a sign of hesitance.

He stopped right at the door, as if something suddenly came to his mind. He glared at them out of the corner of his eyes. “Do you really think I will spare all of you? If you’re dying to know, try me.”

Their hearts skipped a beat.

It was as if a century had passed since Zeke left. Nobody dared to move until someone finally regained their senses.

“Can you believe it? How dare he order us to kneel before him? Who does he think he is? Even if we can’t do anything to him, his parents definitely have a way to get to him!” someone from the family complained.

“Get his parents! Let them know what a monster their son has become!” Another readily agreed.

Immediately, Mdm. Williams reached for her phone and dialed Zeke’s biological father, Diego Williams’

number.

But no one picked up.

She had no choice but to try Faith Sullivan, Zeke’s biological mother.

This time around, the call got through almost immediately.

But before Faith could say anything, Mdm. Williams began her litany of complaints. “Faith Sullivan, you actually have the guts to pick up my call! Look at what your son has done! He even asked his family to get down on their knees before him! Does he have no respect for his elders?”

Silence followed before a scoff came from the other side.

“He brought the Williams family to their knees? He is my son indeed! I told you my son would return one day and all of you would regret it. The Williams family is no match for him and you can never take him down! You guys have finally paid the price! Your family is incomparable to him!”
