Chapter 350
Zeke was speechless.
What’s going on?
His train of thoughts was disrupted by Nancy’s nonsensical words.
Michael was jumping with anger as he roared, “I knew it! How could the leader of the underworld forces be this
useless man, I can’t believe we were almost fooled! It’s clear that their boss had allowed us to come in here
because of my sister since she is his woman. Marcel, you’re dead this time around. You even had the nerves to beat
up your boss’ relative.”
Marcel had a conflicted expression on his face.
Hasn’t Madam been outcasted by the Riverdale Hinton’s all along? Shouldn’t she still be resenting them then?
Why would she be on their side?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcel’s mind was in a whirl as he tried to process those thoughts.
On the other hand, Daniel and Hannah heaved a big sigh of relief.
If Zeke were not actually the leader of the underworld forces, it would naturally mean that there was nothing going
on between him and Nancy.
It was indeed a huge weight off the couple’s mind. They could not imagine how hard their daughter would take it if
she had lost Zeke. She might have even wanted to kill herself.
Michael touched the wound on his face and raged, “Marcel you ba****d! You better kneel down in front of me and
kowtow ten times for hurting me, otherwise, I will ask my sister to punish you severely.”
Marcel was in a dilemma.
“Michael, that’s enough,” Nancy spoke.
“I have not even met Marcel’s boss yet. We had only expressed our affections for each other indirectly. Nothing has
been set in stone yet. If you anger Marcel and he takes action against you, there’s nothing I can do,” Nancy added.
Aaron seized the opportunity and interrupted, “Let’s drop it. We’ll just let the matter end here.”
Today was full of twists and turns, being an emotional roller coaster for everyone present. Aaron did not want to
lose the hard-earned upper hand that his family had right now. He was not planning to risk anything going wrong
again.
Michael simply kept silent after his grandpa spoke.
“Let’s all return now and prepare to pay respects to our ancestors tomorrow,” Aaron suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Aaron departed with his group, while Nancy left with Lacey and her family.
Once they left the hotel, Lacey immediately asked Zeke, “Zeke, tell me now, how did you manage to get the
Whiteridge project?”
“Have you forgotten that I’m your salesperson? You should know my capabilities very well. Getting that project is
just a piece of cake,” Zeke replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Stop glossing over it and just come clean, did you use any underhanded methods to get it? It seems very unlikely
with your abilities that you’ll be able to get such a big project,” Nancy chipped in.
Zeke rolled his eyes at Nancy in frustration.
This woman, not only did she steal my spotlight a few times, she’s even claiming all my credit for her ‘hero’ now.
“If I tell you that it’s your hero who’d given the project to me, will you believe it?” Zeke answered coldly.
But he had not expected Nancy to respond so enthusiastically.
“Yes! That’s right! That must be it! My hero must have been heartbroken to see me going back and forth with the
previous person-in-charge of the Whiteridge project department, that’s why he decided to take over the project but
was too shy to give it to me directly. Just like today, he was too shy to invite me personally, so he instructed his
subordinate to do it instead. It’s him who took over the project and entrusted you to work with me, right?”
Zeke was speechless.
This woman has a really impressive imagination...
Lacey, who appeared to be deep in thought, queried, “Zeke, is Nancy right?”
“Lacey, it’s pointless asking him. This prideful guy would never admit to it even if I were right,” Nancy snubbed.
Zeke rolled his eyes at Nancy again before replying, “Lacey, if I say that none of what Nancy said is real, will you
believe me?”
