Lucille’s face turned bright red from anger. “Did you just call me an old witch?”
“Yeah. Repeat after me... An old witch,” Nancy answered, drawing out the last three words in emphasis.
Dawn blinked dumbly.
Hahahaha!
Here I was, thinking that this old witch was mean. Nancy is on a whole different level, and in a really satisfying way!
Lucille was so furious that she could not speak.
Nancy pressed forth, “Zeke, show the evidence to this old witch and prove our innocence.”
Zeke threw his phone towards Lucille.
Lucille felt nothing but blind terror after she finished watching the video.
In the video, Ryker was kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at his own head, with a look of remorse sprawled
on his face.
“I’d colluded with bandits and framed innocent civilians. I have committed a grave crime. I have broken the
principles of the military and also the trust of the people.”

Bang!
A gunshot sounded and Ryker fell onto his own a pool of blood.
His eyes were still wide open as though his soul was in eternal torment!
The phone in Lucille’s hand dropped to the ground.
Her face paled with disbelief.
Ryker took his own life? How is that possible?
He must’ve been forced by Zeke!
Lucille’s face turned bright red from anger. “Did you just call me an old witch?”
It turns out that I’d greatly underestimated Zeke’s capabilities!
She took a deep breath and recomposed herself before gritting out, “Very well. It seems like I have underestimated
you, Zeke Williams.”
“Just you wait. Now that you’ve driven Ryker to his death, the Lewis family will do everything in their power to
destroy you.”
“Don’t forget, the Lewis family has a secret weapon!”
“You and your Linton Group will perish!”
She walked out on unsteady feet, looking like she had just aged at least a decade.
Before she was out of the room, Zeke spoke, “This is my last warning to you. You’d better give up your control over
the Williams family...” He paused abruptly.
“Oh, I forgot. The Williams family has become the Lewis family’s puppet, and you don’t have a say in anything.”
“I will take down the Lewis family first, then make you watch as I take over the Williams family.”
“I want to prove to you that you made an extremely stupid decision for sending me to prison back then, supporting
my twin brother as the head of the family.”
Lucille looked at Zeke with conflicting emotions. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Finally, she left without another word.
A sense of foreboding filled her heart. What he said, might very well become a reality!
As soon as Lucille left, everything surrounded Zeke.
“Zeke, I really never expected that you’d come from a wealthy family such as the Williams family.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Zeke, did that old witch really personally send you to prison?”
They sighed, “Zeke, you must’ve suffered a lot in the Williams family.”
Zeke was peppered with questions, one after another.
He patiently cleared all of their doubts.
Hannah heaved a sigh, “Zeke, I have also heard of the Lewis family. They are amongst the top powerful families in
the whole of Eurasia.”
“We’re now being targeted by them. What are you planning to do next?”
Zeke replied calmly, “I’m planning to move the Linton Group Headquarters to Atheville.”
“Atheville has a bigger market and more opportunities. The Linton Group can expand into a conglomerate. We can
become nobles or even royalty!”
Hannah looked slightly worried. “But Atheville is the Lewis family’s territory. Won’t we be walking into the lion’s den
by venturing there? It’d be even easier for them to bring us down.”
“Do you all know what I’m most worried about now?” Zeke asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
“What I’m most worried about is that they won’t come to me, looking for trouble.”
“If they don’t, I won’t have an excuse to take them down.”
