Chapter 378
Suddenly, Teeth shouted, “Mr. Williams, please wait. I have an important matter to report to you.”
Zeke Williams stopped in his tracks, “Oh? Say it.”
“Are you the boss of Linton Group?”
Zeke Williams nodded, “That’s right.”
“Oh! We have failed to recognize each other! Actually, my daughter is also working in the Linton Group. In this way,
I guess we can be considered as a family?”
“So, the ‘important matter’ you are referring to is this connection you have? What are you trying to do? Pull strings
with me? If so, forget it.”
“No, no, Mr. Williams. You have mistaken me. Please listen to me. Actually, my daughter is Summer Mills, who is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmanaging Linton Group’s F&B department. Some time back, one of Summer’s suitors approached me and asked
me to help him deal with the boss of Linton Group... At that time, I didn’t know you are the boss of Linton Group, so
I have agreed.”
Teeth’s revelation stirred Zeke’s interest.
Indeed, one cannot be too famous. Otherwise, trouble will come knocking on one’s door.
“Say it. Who wants to deal with me?”
“Mr. Williams, you know that person too. It’s Humpty. He told me that he had a run-in with you before.”
Indeed, Zeke had a vague impression of Humpty.
He was one of Summer Mills’ suitors.
Sometime back, Zeke ran into Summer Mills near the hospital when he was buying breakfast at Food Street for
Lacey.
In order to shake off Humpty, Summer Mills had asked Zeke Williams to pose as her boyfriend.
Naturally, Humpty got jealous and tried to win Summer’s heart by gifting her mother with Food Street and the
hospital restaurant, The Window.
But Zeke got one-up on him by gifting her with The Nightingale.
Thus, Zeke had assumed that Humpty knew his limits and had backed out, seeing that he could not compete with
himself in terms of ability. He had never imagined that Humpty would scheme against him behind his back.
“How is he intending to deal with me?”
“You know about Summer’s mother, Ruby, being sacked from the school because she accepted bribes from
students?”
Zeke nodded.
Teeth stammered, “Actually... actually, Humpty had colluded with my man to frame Ruby.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke was at a loss for words.
Humpty really pulled out all the stops to woo Summer and even framed his own future mother-in-law. Needless to
say, he must have planned to frame Ruby first, then he will investigate the ‘truth’ and clear her name. In this way,
Ruby will be eternally grateful to him.
Zeke asked, “You are Summer’s father, so does that mean Ruby is your wife?”
Teeth explained hurriedly, “Yes... yes. She is my ex-wife. We have divorced.”
Dawn berated him, “How can you collude with outsiders to frame your ex-wife... That is so shameless!”
“I’m innocent. Humpty colluded with my man to frame Ruby, and I was kept in the dark at that time...”
“Oh yes, Mr. Williams. Humpty wants me to accuse you of framing Ruby so that Summer will stay away from you
and be with him. Don’t worry. I will reveal Humpty’s true colors before Summer. In this way, she will be with you
instead of him...”
Dawn then stared at Zeke gloomily, “I can’t tell that you are so flirtatious and actually date two women at the same
time.”
