Chapter 996

The woman erupted in anger. “B*****d! How dare you talk to me rudely? Lying to the nobles is a sin! In three days’ time, come to us with your heart to atone for your sins. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret your actions.”

Zeke chuckled. “You want my heart? Sure, I’ll be waiting for you in Atheville. You can come anytime to get it.”

The woman retorted coldly, “Okay. I hope you keep your word. By tonight, I want your beating heart in front of me.”

Slam!

The line was cut.

Zeke pocketed his phone and smoked, sighing while he looked out of the window.

Damn it, what’s this world coming to?

All I wanted was to live a peaceful life, but why do I have so many heartless relatives?

Zeke returned to Trust Media and hurriedly went to Lacey.

“Lacey, both the Lewis family and the Williams family are exterminated. According to our promise, you’ll have to move Linton Group’s headquarters to Atheville.”

Lacey was astounded. “Exterminated? How could that be possible?”

Zeke showed the evening papers to her. “Read this.”

After reading the news, Lacey lamented, “The Lewis family had brought this onto themselves. As a general, how could he instigate his soldiers to pretend to be bandits to kidnap civilians? It would be unfair if they weren’t exterminated.”

“The Lewis family had been exterminated, but the Williams family is still standing. They even grabbed the chance to take over the Lewis family.”

“Now, the Williams family is much stronger than before after they appointed a new head. However, they are still the same.”

Zeke smiled.

The Williams family isn’t the same anymore because I am the head of the Williams family now.

However, to keep his identity a secret, Zeke prohibited the papers to announce he was the new head.

Hence, the papers only reported about them having a new head of the family. No names were mentioned.

Zeke persuaded her. “Lacey, the Williams family might still be standing, but their new head isn’t like them. He didn’t collude with any of the Williamses. Besides, I know him well. He won’t make things difficult for us.”

Really?

Lacey was delighted. “As long as the Williams family doesn’t make things difficult for us, we can establish ourselves in Atheville. Okay, I promise I’ll move our headquarters here.”

Zeke grinned. “Good.. I’ll make the arrangements.”

At once, Zeke called Dawn and Nancy to order them to prepare for the matter.

Meanwhile, at Williams Manor in Atheville.

The Williamses’ influence and status had plunged to a new low. It showed when they had their dinner.

Now, their dinner wasn’t as lavish as before.

Everyone was furious and cursed Zeke for the change.

They were eating dinner when a deafening noise erupted from above all of a sudden.

Looking up, they saw a helicopter circling the Williams Manor before landing on their golf course.

Stunned, they thought, Where did this helicopter come from?

They ran over to the golf course to see what was going on.

The doors of the helicopter opened, and a man in black got off it.

The Williamses thought he looked familiar, but they couldn’t figure out where they had seen him.

However, since the man was dressed elegantly and even arrived in a helicopter, they assumed that he must be from a prestigious background.

Lucille went over to greet him. “You are?”

The man swept his gaze over her and said, “Mdm. Williams, you’re so forgetful. Back then, when milady married below her station to your son, I was the one who escorted her here.”
