She suddenly recalled Lucius saying that the company would soon become his.
So he’s had it all planned out.
Lacey went looking for Zeke while clutching the newspaper in anger.
Zeke was in the midst of thinking of a way to take the Lewis family down.
Now that both families had been merged, it was about time for him to make a move.
Lacey handed the newspaper over to Zeke. “Would you care to explain further on this issue, Zeke? What’s with your
unwritten rules?”
Zeke was puzzled. “What unwritten rules?”
His gaze turned dark immediately, upon reading the news. “S***! They’re slandering me along with Trust Media. You
trust me, don’t you, Lacey? There’s no way I’d do something this crude.”
Lacey rubbed her temples in discomfort, sighing, “I trust you, Zeke, but the world doesn’t trust us. Our reputation’s
fallen completely down the drain. It’s going to be really hard to prove our innocence.”

would only harm others, bringing no benefit to themselves... Unless they’ve been threatened or lured. You should
go home and rest, Lacey. Don’t worry about this. Leave it to me.”
Okay.
“Zeke, if it really doesn’t work out, we should just retreat,” Lacey admitted gloomily. “Connections run deep in
Atheville, and the entertainment is even tougher to navigate. We may have chosen the wrong field to dive into.”
Upon Lacey’s departure, Zeke immediately called General Cosmopolis, Wolf’s Greed. “I need you to find out where
Lucius Johansson and his five artists had gone today, Wolf’s Greed.”
“Roger that,” Wolf’s Greed answered.
He called Zeke ten minutes later.
“I’ve got it, Zeke. Lucius and the five artists had dropped by the Lewis family home earlier today. After leaving, they
headed straight to Trust Media to terminate their contracts.”
The Lewis family?
Zeke was instantly filled with murderous intent.
He was just having trouble finding a way to act against the Lewis family.
Fortunately, the Lewis family had just handed him the perfect opportunity.
If not now, when?
Zeke instructed Wolf’s Greed immediately, “Dig up all the dirt that you can, about Lucius and these five celebrities.”
“No problem.”
This time round, Zeke had to wait a little longer.
He received a document from Wolf’s Greed roughly an hour later.
Gazing at the information on the document, a cold smirk appeared upon Zeke’s face.
Godd***. These scoundrels sure are full of dirt.
How are these celebrities worthy of all the love and glory that they get?
What an insult!
The next day, Zeke and Lacey headed over to Trust Media.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore they could even get into work mode, loud noises resounded from outside.
The two ran out in a flash.
There were suddenly over a dozen people gathered outside the building, loudly hurling insults at Trust Media.
The security guards tried to stop them, only to get beaten up instead.
It was a complete mess.
“Frauds like you should just leave Atheville! How could you leech off, from the hard work of your artists?”
“Furthermore, you’d tried to tie my idols down with your unwritten rules? Disgusting! You should take a look in the
mirror.”
Lacey’s head began to pound. “Listen to me,” she quickly explained. “The truth is... You’ve all been tricked. Our
company has always been transparent with its accounts and we only keep the commissions earned from the
commercials. As for the unwritten rules, that’s pure nonsense...”
The crowd was instantly furious. “S***! You’d dare to slander our idols even more? Beat her up!”
They proceeded to hurl rotten eggs and vegetables towards Zeke and Lacey.
Godd***it!
