“Go to hell!” Michael raised his dagger in the air.
Nancy closed her eyes in desperation.
That’s it. That’s how my life is going to end. I’ll never get the chance to find out who my hero is anymore!
She waited for some time, but the dagger did not reach her.
Opening her eyes cautiously, she saw a muscular hand grabbing Michael’s arm to stop the dagger from stabbing
her. Her eyes glistened with hope.
Nancy continued to look up and was surprised to see Zeke.
Zeke had come to her rescue!
Never in a million years did she think the man, whom she constantly looked down upon and ridiculed, was the
person who would save her life.
She was flustered with mixed emotions, and her tears gushed down even more uncontrollably.
Zeke said, “I’ll rescue you if you call me daddy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Daddy!” Nancy said it without hesitation since her life was at stake.
That suddenly rendered Zeke speechless.
What a steady response. Uhm, not bad.
Michael was shocked. He tried to pull his arm away from Zeke but to no avail. Zeke’s grip was just too powerful.
Left with no choice, he grabbed the dagger with his other hand!
Upon noticing his action, Zeke immediately kicked Michael on his chin.
That kick sent him flying and spinning 360 degrees in the air. He then crashed directly into the car.
The impact was so strong that the windscreen shattered into pieces.
Zeke helped Nancy up. “You’re safe now, my little daughter.”
Nancy started crying out loud. “I’m so sorry for doubting you! I feel so stupid to have believed that monster! Zeke,
quick! Catch him and send him to the police.”
Zeke turned around and looked at Michael.
Michael broke down right away.
It would be the end of him if they sent him to the police.
Even if he were not sentenced to death for murder, his reputation would be tarnished, and he would be
remembered as someone who attempted to murder his own cousin.
He endured the pain and crawled into the car. Seeing Zeke and Nancy in front of him, he stepped on the
accelerator and tried to ram into them.
“Careful!” Zeke pushed Nancy aside and took a few steps back.
The car brushed against Zeke’s body.
Nancy got nervous. “Come, let’s go get him! He has taken over the Whiteridge project. We have to stop him from
causing problems to the site!”
“Get in,” Zeke ordered.
The two of them hopped into the car and chased after Michael.
Michael, who was driving in a panic mode, rang Mance up.
“Mance, the Whiteridge project is mine now, but I didn’t get to kill Nancy. Zeke appeared and rescued her. They’re
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcoming after me now.”
Mance responded in a deep voice, “Well, it’s good that you’re the owner of the project now. Since they’re following
you, just take them for a spin for about 20 minutes. Don’t let them get to the project department. I’ll send someone
to destroy the department now.”
“What?” Michael was dumbfounded, “The project is ours now. Why would you do that? We’ll have to cover the
losses if anything goes wrong now.”
Mance explained, “This is called using a sprat to catch a mackerel. This is Riverdale’s landmark project, and it is
under Linton Group. They have signed the bet-on agreement with the district council. If Linton Group fails to
complete the project before the deadline, which is tomorrow, the corporation will have to compensate the district
council a large sum of money.”
He continued, “Now Linton Group is in a dire financial situation as it doesn’t have a healthy cash flow. It’ll be forced
to declare bankruptcy if it’s not able to compensate the district council. As for us, we’ll just have to compensate a
small amount of money to Linton Group for the breach of contract. This project will be the last straw that breaks
the camel’s back!”
