Chapter 468
Lord Protector Novel
Zeke nodded. âAlright, I shall not take up any more of your time. I will take my leave now.â
The captain said, âTake care, Mr. Williams. By the way, we are selecting the top 3 best drivers in the city. We will consider you as one of the nominees. There will be rewards for the winners.â
âThank you,â said Zeke.
Nancy was dumbfounded at their interaction.
Heâs really acquainted with these officers from the traffic department. Moreover, heâs able to chat with them casually. I can tell these officers are polite and perhaps even feeling a little inferior toward Zeke Williams. But heâs supposed to be just a kept-man, a useless loser. How can a thug like him maintain such a friendly relationship with these officers? Well, thatâs not the point. The important thing is Zeke Williams can help me.
Nancy hurriedly called out to Zeke just as he was about to leave the scene in his car, âStop it right there, Zeke Williams! Come help me out since youâre on good terms with these officers.â
Zeke responded, âYou didnât believe me, did you?â
âOh, those words slipped out of my mouth without myself knowing. I am Laceyâs sister, so you should consider me as your âsisâ too. Weâre a family, so thereâs no need for us to be so petty toward one another.â
âIâm sorry but I donât think Iâll be able to help.â
âYes, you can definitely help!â
âYes, I can but I donât want to. â
Nancy was taken aback by Zekeâs response. How dare you oppose me, kept-man! Iâll let you suffer greatly.
Nancy was anxious when she saw Zeke starting his car engine. âWhat do I have to do to make you help me, Zeke Williams?â
Zeke pondered briefly before he answered, âItâs simple. All you have to do is to address me politely and admit your mistakes. Promise me you will never pick on me in the future.â
Nancy said firmly, âIn your dreams! I would rather face death than to address you politely.â
âThen you will have to retake the driving test for 6 months before getting back your license. Moreover, youâre not guaranteed to pass the test on your first attempt.â
He shifted the gear and was about to step on the gas pedal.
Nancy looked up at the sky in despair.
She could already feel the agony of taking the driving lessons and test under the blazing sun. Fine. Iâll give in for now. Thereâs no shame in submitting to defeat. Iâll forget about it and move on with my life after this!
She shouted at once, âWait, Zeke Williams!â
Zeke stepped on the brake and looked at Nancy with a smile.
That was the most humiliating moment in Nancyâs life. âMr. Williams, I was wrong. I will never pick on you again in the future.â
âWhat did you call me?â Zeke asked.
Nancy answered with much difficulty through her gritted teeth, âMr. Williams.â
Zeke felt relieved after getting his revenge.
He said solemnly, âThis is just a light punishment, Nancy. If you dare to shame me in front of Lacey again, you will face a worse consequence.â
âSo what if I am a kept-man? Youâre not supporting my living anyway. Have I ever offended you? Donât forget that I made the tourist destination development project possible. You need to learn to be grateful toward others who assisted you. At the very least, you should not repay otherâs kindness with hatred.
Donât tell me a member of the Riverdale Hinton family does not even have basic manners?â
Nancy felt the urge to cry as she was aggrieved. I canât believe a kept-man is lecturing me. I cannot accept this! Moreover, why are you so upset? I merely teased you a few times!
She suppressed her resentment and said, âI was wrong.â
âGet lost then,â Zeke said to her.
Nancy was relieved. She got into her car swiftly and drove away.
After she put some distance between herself and Zeke, Nancy suddenly stepped on the brake and showed Zeke her middle finger.
