Chapter 1408
Lord Protector Novel
Emily listened to their curses calmly.
Once they stopped, Emily uttered, âAre you done? Itâs my turn now.â
She slammed her hand onto the table and shouted, âNow Iâm the wife of the Great Marshal and Iâm the mother of the nation. How dare commoners like you humiliate me? Do you know that youâre committing a crime?â
The other three women were confused by her words.
They knew that Zekeâs title as the Great Marshal had been stolen by Julian, but that had nothing to do with Emily.
Dawn mocked, âStop with your nonsense. Youâre just a whore. Stop dreaming about being the mother of the nation, not unless every single woman in Eurasia dies. Are you delusional?â
Emily scoffed, âSo you donât believe in me? Now you watch.â
Looking at the team leader, she instructed, âLet them in.â
The team leader shouted, âEnter!â
Suddenly, sounds of marching came from the outside.
Even the ground was shaking slightly.
In the next second, a platoon of fully armed soldiers marched in and ran toward Emily.
They went down on one knee and shouted in unison, âThe third legion of Atheville is awaiting the wife of the Great Marshalâs orders.â
The color drained from the other three womenâs faces. What? Emily is really the wife of the Great Marshal! Oh my god! How can it be? How did she come into contact with Julian? She just went from rags to riches!
Jealousy, envy and hatred snaked around their hearts like a vine.
Abruptly, Lacey gasped in realization. âNow I get it! Emily, youâve been working together with Julian.
You intentionally slandered Zeke to help Julian get the title of the Great Marshal! A-Arenât you afraid that karma will come for you?â
Emily had a sly smile on her lips.
âDonât worry about that. The end result is what I want. I, Emily Clemons, is the one with the last laugh!
To me, even houseflies are better than Zeke and you. Youâre not even worthy of licking my shoes now.â
âYou-â
Regret was killing her from inside.
She had been too kind to have kept Emily around.
Now, Emily was returning her kindness by attacking Zeke and her. Worse still, they did not have a way to counterattack.
Emily continued, âIâve been acting as a spy in Linton Group, and Iâve found a major flaw in your system.
Shut down the Linton Group and begin the restructuring process. Weâll open up when I said so.â
âUnderstood!â The team leader replied.
Emily looked at the Linton Groupâs staff. âNow that the Linton Group is shut down, itâs unlikely that itâll open up any time soon. Youâre all unemployed. Do you think that thatâs the end? No. Iâm going to launch an investigation into the company. If I spot any financial issues, Iâll hold you accountable. What awaits you is endless jail time.â
By now, everyoneâs faces had ashen.
They all fell into despair as they were defenseless against the wife of the Great Marshal. What do we do now?
Then, Emily said, âHowever, since we were colleagues, I can give you a chance. Iâm planning to start a company. It will be involved in every industry that Linton Group is in. If you come with me, not only will you avoid jail time, but you will also have a bright future.â
