Chapter 951
Lord Protector Novel
Upon realizing that his brother-in-law, General Ryker Lewis, had arrived, Zach grew so terrified that he wet himself.
Caught in the act, with his wife at that...
Iâm screwed. Iâm totally screwed!
Half an hour later, a completely bruised and battered Zach was brought in, before Robin and Conrad.
Robin sobbed incessantly. âYou jerk. Youâre nothing but scum, Zach Williams. How dare you cheat on me? Iâll... Iâll never forgive you.â
âWhat a good-for-nothing piece of trash you are,â Conrad lamented. âTo think that the Lewis family had tried to help you to become the leader of the Williams family. Is this how you repay us for all the opportunities and trust that weâd given you?â
âDad, Robin, why even bother speaking to him?â asked Ryker. âHeâll pay for bullying my wife!â
With that, he sent Zach flying with a kick.
Zach fell to the ground, writhing in intense pain.
âIâm sorry... Itâs... Itâs all my fault.â
âYouâd committed such a disgusting crime. Do you really think a word of apology will suffice? I want you to pay with your life!â Ryker demanded.
Soon enough, he took out a dagger and approached Zach menacingly.
Zach was utterly horrified.
Ryker was someone who had fought on the battlefields. Killing someone was a piece of cake for him.
âIâm sorry! Please forgive me, Ryker,â Zach cried out in tears. âI wonât do it again. I promise!â
âStop it!â
Eventually, Conradâs voice rang out.
âControl your emotions, Ryker. The deedâs already been done; what good would there be in killing him?
You and Lily arenât married yet, and Zach didnât know any better either. Itâs not like what he did is unforgivable. What needs to be done for now is to come up with a solid way to solve this.â
Robin proceeded to defend Zach too, âHeâs my husband in name, so you canât kill him. You donât want me to end up a widow, do you?â
Zach was touched.
At the end of the day, it was his wife who always had his back.
He now felt increasingly remorseful.
The rage in Rykerâs heart was slowly put out. âHe gets to live, but he canât escape punishment. I wonât do anything to him illegally, but weâll have to do things according to the law, which is to place him behind bars.â
âAre you willing to comply, Zach?â asked Conrad.
What was jail time compared to having his life taken?
Zach hurriedly nodded. âItâs no problem. Iâll willingly do that.â
Conrad sighed, âTo think that youâre going to prison for sexual assault right after earning your place as the leader of the prominent Williams family. Everyoneâs going to laugh if word gets out.â
Zach lowered his head in shame.
He had just become the new head of the Williams household, but now, he was about to serve jail time.
He and the entire Williams household were bound to be the butt of everyoneâs jokes.
Robin sighed too, âTheir tarnished reputation will be nothing compared to their economic losses.
Without a head, the Williams family is going to be in chaos. Not only might they go bankrupt, rather, but they might also even end up in extinction. However, donât worry, Zach. Iâll be sure to manage the Williams family well. I wonât let it fall into a mess.â
âHow are you going to manage the Williams family? You have no power or authority to do that,â Conrad remarked.
At that moment, Robin gazed at Zach lovingly. âDo you trust me, Zach? If you do, let me take over as head of your family.â
The woman finally revealed her true colors.
