Chapter 602

He instructed the security guards, “When that man enters the premises, attack him immediately and give him a thorough beating.”

The security guards wanted to please Joel, so they readily agreed. “No problem.”

Meanwhile, Zeke had noticed Joel’s presence together with a few other familiar faces.

He felt bad for them, given that his former colleagues were still holding the same positions after so many years. They made no progress in their careers at all.

They appeared destined to remain servers their whole lives.

Nevertheless, he headed toward the entrance with Lacey in tow.

At the same time, Joel raised his hand to stop Zeke. “Stay where you are. Well, well, Zeke. What a coincidence for us to meet again.”

“Indeed, it is.” Smiling slightly, Zeke ignored him and continued ahead.

Joel stepped in front of Zeke. “Stop, you’re not allowed to enter.”

Frowning, Zeke inquired, “Why?”

Joel replied, “There’s no why. Anyone with the name of Williams is barred.”

Zeke was peeved when he realized that Joel still harbored a grudge against him and wanted to cause trouble on purpose.

He sneered, “Who set the rule that rule?”

Joel retorted, “I’m the manager here, and this is my rule!”

Zeke couldn’t help but smile wryly. “Very well.”

“As the owner of this business, I hereby declare that anyone with the name of Cramer is not eligible to work here. You’re now fired.”

What?

Did we hear it right?

Zeke, a former employee who was asked to leave, had just sacked the restaurant manager!

It seemed to be a ludicrous joke, causing everyone around them to burst into laughter.

Joel laughed so much that he was already in tears. “Mr. Williams, are you trying to overwhelm us with laughter? Haha, what gives you the right to fire me? Very well, let me see how you’re actually going to do that.”

Zeke shot a stern glance at him. “You will receive a letter of termination soon. Lacey, let’s go in.”

Shoving Joel aside, Zeke tried to enter.

Meanwhile, the manager signaled to the security guards.

Without a word, they brandished their batons and charged.

Since Zeke persisted despite Joel’s warnings, there was no reason for them to hold back.

Zeke was infuriated when he saw the employees had gone overboard by attacking a guest without warning, never mind their target was their boss.

Grabbing Joel from the side, Zeke hurled him toward the approaching security guards.

Boom!

Joel crashed into the security guards and they fell like bowling pins.

Hurting all over, he was furious that a former employee had dared to attack the manager.

How dare he!

He bellowed, “You ba****d! You really have a death wish! Bring me my stun baton, I’m going to kill this dog if it’s the last thing I do.”

Lacey was shocked. Wanting to de-escalate the situation, she ordered, “Stop, all of you! My friend has reserved your restaurant. He invited us to dine here, therefore we are your distinguished guests. You can’t lay a hand on your guest!”

Joel and his men were stunned.

Are they the couple that was invited by big shots just now?

How did that a****** Zeke get to know such prominent people?

Wait a minute, didn’t the guest just now despise Zeke?

He had deliberately instructed them to cause trouble for a man with the surname ‘Williams’. The more messed up he was, the better.

And Zeke’s surname was Williams!

Haha, it appears that he is an enemy of our prominent guest.

By beating Zeke up, they would not only gain revenge but also curry favor with the prominent guest.

There was nothing else they could ask for.

Regaining his composure, Joel stood up and replied politely. “There has been a misunderstanding.

Madam, please head on in first as I would like to chat with Zeke.”
