Chapter 501
Lord Protector Novel
âHa, hahaa, hahhahhaha!â
âZeke Williams! Are you just trying to prove that your existence? Youâre only humiliating yourself by exaggerating things!â
âA grown man going around doing nothing all day except bluffing your way through everything? Ha!â
âWeâre talking business right now, and youâre nothing but a useless man dependent on your woman. So keep your mouth shut, and donât disturb us.â
Zeke Williams was left speechless after being laughed at by Nancy.
Oh no! Look at the fiery temper of mine! Why do I suddenly have the very strong urge to slap her across the face?
But Nancy is Laceyâs cousin and a good friend so I shouldnât hit her. Forget it!
I shouldnât hit her!
Zeke pressed his anger down and turned to Daniel Hinton. âDad, whoâs in charge of the Pharmaceutical Department in our company right now?â
âSusan Raynor and I are overseeing it,â answered Daniel.
Zeke nodded and handed Reagan Pharmaceuticalâs transferal agreement to Daniel. âDad, it looks like you and Susan will have to work overtime in the upcoming days. Letâs merge Reagan Pharmaceutical into Linton Group.â
Daniel froze. âWhatâs this?â
He took the agreement and gave it a quick look. He became emotional and quickly read it over again carefully.
After a while, he looked up as he was shaking with excitement. âZeke! You... you really did it?â
âOh my goodness! You were being serious earlier! Wow! Zeke, we were the ones who were dumb for looking down on you.â
âThis is amazing! Youâre amazing!â
Nancy and Lacey gave each other a look. What nonsense is he rambling on about?
Lacey grabbed the agreement and studied it alongside Nancy.
A few moments later, Nancy exclaimed slack-jawed, âThis... Is this the transferal agreement for Reagan Pharmaceutical?â
âHow is this possible?â
âThis is fake. This has to be fake. This useless man has always been great at faking things.â
Her face was nearly plastered to the agreement, trying to find some kind of evidence to prove that it was fake.
Lacey looked at Zeke with shining bright eyes. âZeke, is this agreement real?â
Zeke nodded. âOf course. Iâve been with you this whole time. Where would I have the time to go and draft a fake agreement?â
Daniel nodded in agreement. âThe Zeke I know wouldnât go make something like this up just to save face.â
âZeke, how did you seal the deal with Reagan Pharmaceutical?â
Zeke shrugged. âWell, itâs nothing really.â
âTheir major shareholder was originally Logan Hugh. When he planned to set Lacey up, I managed to see through his schemes, then conveniently got myself some dirt on him.â
âSo in order to save his own skin, he gave Reagan Pharmaceutical to us.â
Daniel and Hannah immediately became worried. âLogan was going to set Lacey up again? Lacey, are you okay?â
âDonât worry, Mom and Dad. As long as Iâm with Lacey, sheâll be fine,â comforted Zeke.
âPlus, Loganâs schemes have all be uncovered, and heâs been caught. Heâll never be able to hurt Lacey again.â
The elderly couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lacey gave a buzzed chortle. âZeke, I suddenly realized a pattern.â
âThose who mess with me will usually have their assets end up in my hands eventually.â
âFirst, there was Jackson Hamiltonâs Hamilton Construction, then the recent Whiteridge project, and now even Reagan Pharmaceutical.â
âMy goodness! Now I kind of want the whole world to come and mess with me! That way, the whole world will end up in my hands!â
Again Zeke Williams was speechless.
Zeke tapped Laceyâs forehead exasperatedly. âYou and your love for money! If that really happened, I would probably die first from worrying about you so much.â
Plus, if you wanted, I could just wave my hands and the whole of Eurasia would be yours. No messing with you is needed at all.
Nancy looked through the agreement over and over again but couldnât find even one flaw on it.
To say her emotions right then were complicated was an understatement.
On one hand, she was glad because the boss of Reagan Pharmaceutical was now someone she knew well, so she would be able to seal any deal easily.
On the other hand, she couldnât stomach after knowing that the person who got Reagan Pharmaceutical was the very man she had always looked down on.
Nancy gathered her thoughts and turned to Zeke. âZeke, since youâre now the new boss of Reagan Pharmaceutical, letâs strike while the ironâs hot and sign the contract tonight.â
âWith us working together, weâll definitely carve an unassailable path in the pharmaceutical field.â
