Chapter 410
Lord Protector Novel
Ms. Morton handed Lacey the contract and left.
After seeing the secretary off, Lacey and Dawn quickly reviewed the contract.
Instead of being happy, they both turned to stare at Zeke in awe after going through it.
It was stated in the contract that the Schneider family would spend one hundred million to purchase a kindergarten owned by the Wisdom Isle brand worth three hundred million. The Schneider family would then transfer the ownership to the Linton Group for free!
This is basically a gift!
âZ-zeke, what is this?â Lacey asked with her shaky voice.
âZeke this, Zeke that, canât you call my last name for once?â Zeke responded annoyingly.
âWilly, what is this?â Dawn asked.
Zeke was speechless and sighed. âWhatever. Just call me Zeke. As I was saying, I got us the kindergarten so that Sharon could get a better education.â
âTh-this is absurd! You bought a kindergarten chain just so your goddaughter could go to school!?â
Dawn exclaimed.
âThatâs not the point!â Lacey scolded. âTell me, whatâs your relationship with Mr. Schneider? Why is he giving us such an expensive gift?â
âDidnât I tell you that he is diagnosed with a weird illness and only I could help with? I recently rid him of that illness, and this is him showing his gratitude.â
âWhy do I have a feeling that youâre making that up?â Laceyâs face was filled with distrust. âSeriously, I beg you, tell me the truth!â
âSure. But youâll have to tell me what is the one thing that is lacking to confirm our relationship?â
âZeke Williams! You better not get ahead of yourself! How dare you argue with your boss? Do you think I wonât...â
âRavish you?â Dawn interrupted.
âShut up! I meant fire him!â Lacey shot Dawn an angry stare.
Seeing that Lacey was really furious, Dawn quickly helped to calm things down. âLacey, Iâm gonna come clean with you. What Zeke said is true. When I went to the Schneider Group last time, I saw him curing Mr. Schneider with my own eyes. I also heard from Ms. Morton that the pain was so unbearable that Mr. Schneider would bang his head on the wall. He even tried to kill himself. Zeke basically gave Mr. Schneider his life back. So itâs only natural if he wants to repay Zekeâs gratitude.â
Since Dawn confirmed that Zeke really helped cure Evanâs illness, Lacey half-bought the story.
âR-right! Thereâs no way Zeke could make Mr. Schneider bow to him!â Lacey laughed awkwardly and turned to Zeke. âHow dare you try to trick me!?â
Dawn only smiled at Zeke as if she were telling him that he owed her another favor.
It was evident to Dawn why Evan would bow down to Zeke because Zeke was the legendary God of War, the Great Marshal.
Lacey then handed the Wisdom Isle contract to Dawn. âDawnie, looks like I have to trouble you again.â
Dawn massaged her thighs and asked, âSeeing how hardworking I am, shouldnât I get a raise as well?â
âOf course! Iâll raise your monthly salary by ten thousand! And youâll get a bonus worth millions as well!â
Upon hearing that, Zekeâs face darkened.
