Chapter 923
Lord Protector Novel
The butler had a bitter smile on his face.
Lucille was biased to the point where an outsider like him could barely continue to watch.
Zach and Zeke were twin brothers, but the way she treated them was worlds apart.
Soon, Lucille reached Trust Media.
Arrogantly, she chased the receptionist away by smacking her with her cane, as she sat down on the receptionistâs seat.
âGet your boss, Zeke Williams, to come out here. Tell him that his grandmother is here for him.â
As she was her superiorâs grandmother, the receptionist could only seethe silently before running to get Zeke.
After hearing the receptionist, Zeke huffed bitterly, âMy grandmother? Is she unashamed to call herself that? Has she not opened her eyes to reality yet? Does she still think that Iâm still the abandoned son of the Williams family whom everyone can bully?â
He stood up and walked out of his office.
Lacey quickly grabbed Zekeâs arm. âZeke, Iâll come with you. Youâre not at fault for this. Iâll help you talk to her.â
Zeke was amused by her words.
If his grandmother would listen to reason, he would not have needed to go to jail back then.
Funny.
The moment Zeke came out, Lucille jabbed her finger and began cursing at him.
âYou ungrateful brat. Youâd set your own family up? Are you still human? Hurry up and call Brent Jenkins to release your brother. Otherwise, Iâll teach you a lesson.â
Zeke muttered, âLetâs put aside the question of whether Iâd set Zach up or not. Let me ask you this instead. Are those who set their family up not human?â
Zeke muttered, âLetâs put aside the question of whether Iâd set Zach up or not. Let me ask you this instead. Are those who set their family up not human?â
Lucille huffed, âOf course.â
Zeke continued, âWho was the one who came up with the idea of sending me to jail in place of Zach back then? Who was it? Are they human?â
Lucille slammed her cane repeatedly on the ground as she hissed, âYou lowly creature! How dare you imply that Iâm not human. Youâre disrespecting your elders!â
Zeke raised his brows. âOh, does that mean youâre admitting that youâd set me up back then?â
âI...â Lucille fell silent.
It was now that she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
This abandoned son of the Williams family had become wittier than before.
Instead, Lucille panned out, âI donât want to waste any more time. Zach was sent to jail because of you, so you have to get him out.â
Zeke asked, âI sent him to jail? Did I ask him to kill the old lady on the streets? Was I the one who asked him to spread rumors? He only has himself to blame. What does this have to do with me?â
Lucille raged, âIn other words, youâre not going to save him?â
Zeke replied, âSorry, but no.â
âWell, well, well.â The vein on Lucilleâs temple popped. âZeke Williams, youâre starting to become rebellious. Do you really think that the minor power that you have will let you do anything you like to the Williams family? Donât you know that we have a general in the family? One day, weâll strip you of your military post.â
Lucille huffed angrily as she left.
Zeke answered, âI look forward to it.â
Laceyâs face was drained of its color. âWhy is she like this? Sheâs too biased to Zach. She canât differentiate right from wrong.â
Zeke smiled wryly.
In the past, he had pitied Lacey and her family when their grandfather, Adam, had targeted them.
Now, it seemed like he was in a worse situation than them.
If he had not misheard Lucille earlier, she had mentioned that there was a general in the Williams family.
When did the Williams family have a general?
Zeke sent a message to Wolfâs Greed, asking him to investigate the matter.
Meanwhile, before Lucille return to the Williams family residence, she called Conrad Lewis.
She requested for Conrad to send Ryker, his son, and a general, to save Zach.
After listening to her words, Conrad sighed.
Lucille tensed when she heard his sigh. âMr. Lewis, why are you sighing? Whatâs wrong? Is it too difficult? Weâd agreed back then that your son, Ryker, will assist me when I deal with Zeke.â
