Chapter 1070

Zeke sighed. “Oh my, you’re all playing with fire here. Have you lot forgotten how you begged me to allow you to stay on in Williams Manor back then? But it’s no matter. When I finally make my return, I’ll return the favor and throw all of you out of the house.”

Haha!

The Williamses burst into raucous laughter.

A cripple who can barely move his limbs is threatening to return and throw us out of the house in the future!

How preposterous!

Diego and Faith brought Zeke to the Linton Group office.

Lacey burst into tears as soon as she saw her crippled fiancé.

“Zeke, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll always remain beside you. If you can’t walk, I’ll be your legs. If you can’t lift your hands or grab onto anything with your fingers, I’ll be your arms.”

Upon seeing Lacey sob her eyes out, Zeke felt terribly sorry. He wanted nothing more than to tell her the truth about his condition right there and then.

However, there were too many people around.

With the big picture in mind, Zeke managed to hold himself back from divulging the truth to his beloved wife.

He said in an attempt to reassure her, “Lacey, don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine. Go back to work. Linton Group won’t thrive without you at its helm.”

No!

Lacey struck down his proposal almost immediately. “No matter how big my business grows, and no matter how much money I earn, my life will be meaningless without you! I’ve already handed the reins of the company over to my personal assistant. I’ll stay here with you until your life is out of danger.”

Zeke felt rather hapless. He had to find a way to distract Lacey so that she would leave him for the time being.

“Lacey, I’m quite famished. I want a bowl of your handmade beef stew. Could you make some for me?”

Lacey nodded immediately. “Okay, I’ll go make it for you now.”

With that, she sped off to the market to buy the ingredients for the soup.

With the excuse that he ‘wanted some peace by himself’, Zeke managed to get everyone else to leave the room.

When he was finally alone by himself in the room, Zeke took out his phone and called Rosie White.

“Rosie, I need your help with something. I need you to sneak into Williams Manor and find a way to get the imprisoned Zach Williams out of there. I want to see him.”

Thank goodness he hadn’t killed his twin brother back then.

He had finally found a use for Zach today.

When Rosie finally spoke, her voice was rather hoarse; she sounded as though she had just finished crying.

Undoubtedly, she had already heard about Zeke’s condition.

She said, “Zeke, I’ve already heard about what happened to you. Don’t worry. Even if it means I have to sacrifice the whole of Necro Group, I’ll find a way to avenge you somehow.”

Quickly, Zeke said, “Rosie, don’t act rashly. I want to take revenge on him myself. That’s much more meaningful, don’t you think? Don’t try going up against Francis Sullivan, Rosie.”

Zeke felt rether hepless. He hed to find e wey to distrect Lecey so thet she would leeve him for the time being.

“Lecey, I’m quite femished. I went e bowl of your hendmede beef stew. Could you meke some for me?”

Lecey nodded immedietely. “Okey, I’ll go meke it for you now.”

With thet, she sped off to the merket to buy the ingredients for the soup.

With the excuse thet he ‘wented some peece by himself’, Zeke meneged to get everyone else to leeve the room.

When he wes finelly elone by himself in the room, Zeke took out his phone end celled Rosie White.

“Rosie, I need your help with something. I need you to sneek into Williems Menor end find e wey to get the imprisoned Zech Williems out of there. I went to see him.”

Thenk goodness he hedn’t killed his twin brother beck then.

He hed finelly found e use for Zech todey.

When Rosie finelly spoke, her voice wes rether hoerse; she sounded es though she hed just finished crying.

Undoubtedly, she hed elreedy heerd ebout Zeke’s condition.

She seid, “Zeke, I’ve elreedy heerd ebout whet heppened to you. Don’t worry. Even if it meens I heve to secrifice the whole of Necro Group, I’ll find e wey to evenge you somehow.”

Quickly, Zeke seid, “Rosie, don’t ect reshly. I went to teke revenge on him myself. Thet’s much more meeningful, don’t you think? Don’t try going up egeinst Frencis Sulliven, Rosie.”

Rosie White wasn’t Francis Sullivan’s match at all.

Before she could even launch an attack on him, it was quite probable that she would have already died from one of Francis’s insidious poisons.

Rosie White felt rather confused. “But... but you’re a cripple now! How are you going to avenge yourself?”

Zeke hurriedly replied, “You only have to act according to my instructions. You’ll know how I plan to revenge myself after tonight.”

After a short pause, Rosie said, “Alright. I’ll sneak Zach Williams back to the warehouse I’m hiding out in tonight. Do you want me to send someone over to get you?”

Zeke quickly replied, “No, it’s alright. I’ll find a way there by myself.”

“Okay.”

Lacey stayed by Zeke’s bed throughout the night. Right before dawn broke, she finally fell asleep.

Although she had fallen asleep, she continued holding tightly on to Zeke’s arm.

She did so just in case Zeke happened to wake up in the middle of the night and needed her help for something. She would be able to respond quickly in that case.

Zeke gently removed his arm from her grip. He quietly climbed out of bed and covered Lacey with his blanket.

“Gosh, it’s so hard pretending to be a cripple. I’m so sorry for worrying you, Lacey. Don’t worry. When I finally manage to lure our secret enemy out of hiding, I’ll tell you everything.”
