Chapter 329

Zeke agreed, “Sure.”

Aaron told him, “Good. If this contract is void, you’ll have to hand Linton Group to me.”

Everyone was full of admiration.

The patriarch of the Hinton family was indeed a wise and courageous man.

He was trying to acquire the Linton Group for nothing!

Lacey’s family immediately panicked and tried to persuade Zeke.

“Zeke, you can’t say yes.”

“You know how hard Lacey has worked to build up Linton Group. She couldn’t eat or sleep properly and even lost weight.”

“It isn’t worth it to sacrifice Lacey’s future just to show off this once.”

Nancy was glaring at Zeke furiously to show her disapproval, too.

However, Zeke disappointed them all.

“Okay, you have my word.”

Lacey’s family and Nancy were terribly disappointed.

However, the Riverdale Hinton’s were grinning widely.

They thought that Lacey’s husband was useless and crazy.

The tourist destination development project in Whiteridge was worth one billion. That tiny Linton Group would not be able to handle the huge project themselves.

Besides, even Lacey denied that Linton Group was involved in this project.

Would that kept man, Zeke Williams, successfully get the project himself? What a joke.

Nancy gritted her teeth in anger. “Zeke, are you the devil? Can you explode right here, right now?”

Zeke ignored Nancy and turned to Aaron, “If this contract is true, please step down from your position and hand it to my wife.”

The crowd immediately started criticizing Zeke in anger.

How dare he target the entire Hinton family?

That’s a huge disrespect.

Besides, can he control the Hinton family if he’s given the power to do so?

However, Aaron agreed at once. “Sure.”

He was certain he would win this bet.

Zeke was handing Linton Group to him for nothing.

He gave the contract to his butler standing beside him. “Butler, bring this contract to the Whiteridge project department to find out if the stamp is real or forged.”

The old butler smiled wryly. “Mr. Hinton, this is necessary?”

Aaron proclaimed, “We need to be fair. Since he has a death wish, we’ll make sure he dies willingly. We can’t frame him.”

The old butler nodded. “Okay.”

He took the contract and left the room.

Aaron announced, “Let’s continue the meeting.”

“Wait,” Zeke cut him off. “Where are our seats?”

The crowd exploded into mocking laughter.

We’re kind enough to let you in.

How dare you demand to sit among us? Don’t you know your stand?

Lily raised her voice, “Even I don’t have a seat, let alone you.”

Adam spoke up, too. “Daniel, look after your son-in-law. Don’t let him embarrass himself.”

Daniel sighed. “Zeke, forget it. We’ll just stand. We’ve always stood in the past.”

Zeke shook his head. “That was in the past. Now, as I’m your son-in-law, you’re superior to others. No one can look down on you.”

“Aaron, bring us some chairs. Or you can give up your seat,” he ordered.

“Who are you to order me around?” Aaron demanded furiously.

Zeke replied, “Oh, I see you won’t give up your seats. Fine, everyone can stand with us.”

As he said that, he waved his hand and shot out a silver needle.
