Chapter 499

Zeke immediately gave it the gun to go home as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the residential area, Lacey had already fallen asleep.

As such, Zeke had no choice but to carry Lacey upstairs.

On their way upstairs, Zeke couldn’t help but fantasize about her alluring body shape when her busty boobs pressed against his back.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Daniel and Hannah in the living room. They hadn’t gone to bed and were still busy arranging the medical reports for tomorrow morning.

When Zeke walked into the house, they immediately put down the documents and came up to him.

“Zeke, why are you so late? Hmm? Did Lacey drink a lot? Why did she drink so much?”

Zeke explained, “Dad, mom, Lacey has been too busy lately and is under a lot of stress. So, she drank a little to relax. Don’t worry because she didn’t drink too much. I think she’ll be fine after getting some sleep.”

Hannah nodded and said, “Okay. Put her in her room so that she can get some rest.”

Zeke said, “Dad, mom, you should go to bed early too.”

How embarrassing will it be if you guys hear the noise later?

Without hesitation, both of them agreed to it.

The next moment, someone opened the door before he carried her to her room.

As Nancy walked into the house, she swung her leg and kicked her shoes to the corner of the wall. She then walked barefoot and sat on the couch.

After that, she yelled loudly, “Lacey, your sister is hurt badly. Come and comfort me.”

Zeke couldn’t help but frown.

When they were on the way up, he noticed someone was sobbing behind them. But he didn’t realize that it was Nancy.

Why does a girl as stubborn as her cry?

Meanwhile, Lacey became a little sober as soon as she saw Nancy.

After wriggling free from Zeke’s arms, she sat beside Nancy and said, “Nancy, why don’t you get some wine? You’ll feel better once you take it.”

Nancy looked at Lacey in disbelief and said, “Lacey, you.. you drank? Why did you drink so much?”

“Lacey, did you guys walk ahead of me just now? Are you the couple who was drunk? Did you arrive here not long ago?”

Lacey nodded in response.

Upon seeing that, Nancy was exasperated and kicked Zeke with her long leg before she yelled at him.

“Zeke Williams, you’re so crafty! Did you purposely get her drunk to do something with her later?”

As Nancy was a little pissed off, she unintentionally kicked Zeke on his private part.

Fortunately, it wasn’t painful for Zeke because she didn’t really kick hard.

Nevertheless, both Nancy and Zeke immediately blushed as they felt awkward.

Zeke tried to explain, “Don’t talk nonsense. Lacey wanted to drink and didn’t listen to me even after I tried to stop her from drinking. Please stop treating me like a villain.”

Nancy replied right after he finished, “That’s bullshit. Do you think I’m blind? When you went upstairs, I saw you touching Lacey everywhere.”

Since the two were about to start arguing, Hannah tried to calm them down and interrupted. “Nancy, let’s not talk about Lacey for now. Why did you come here this late? And why did you say you’re hurt deeply?”

Nancy came unglued the moment Hannah mentioned it.

After a while, she replied, “It’s a long story. Michael Hinton began to make things difficult for me again recently. This time around, he even forced me to discuss a partnership with Reagan Pharmaceutical in Oakheart City. As you all know, before Reinz Pharmaceutical set up its branch in Rivermouth, Reagan Pharmaceutical was the largest pharmaceutical company here. On the other hand, the Hinton family is basically negligible because it only has a very small market share in the pharmaceutical industry. So, why would Reagan Pharmaceutical establish a partnership with a small company like ours?”

Nancy paused for a while and continued, “Despite the difficulties, I, as a professional and outstanding employee, successfully persuaded them to form a partnership. But when we were about to sign the contract, Reagan Pharmaceutical suddenly changed hands. They eventually canceled our partnership, and everything I did turned to dust. Hmmph! Why would the new boss come at this moment when we were about to sign the contract? Is he brainless?”

Meanwhile, Zeke’s lips quirked when he thought to himself. Well, Reagan Pharmaceutical was a company owned by Logan Hugh, but it is now mine. The ‘brainless boss’ Nancy mentioned is me. You enjoy slandering and insulting me, but at the same time, you wish to form a partnership with me? You can dream on!”
