Chapter 825

However, Mr. Murphy grew suspicious, sensing something amiss regarding the matter of the car owner.

Hence, he insisted, “Mr. Zelly, I think it’s best if you prove it to him, lest he continues arguing unnecessarily or spreads false rumors about you.”

Since Mr. Murphy himself was insisting, Joseph had no choice but to do it.

“Alright,” He gritted out through clenched teeth.

He made his way towards the Hongqi. As he got closer, he realized someone was sitting in the driver’s seat.

He was overjoyed, swiftly circling to the passenger seat to open the door and slide in.

He took out some banknotes from his wallet that was of a significant amount and handed them to the driver. “Bro, help me out a little. Say that this is my car later. After that, I’ll give you as much money as you want.”

Wolf’s Greed grinned as he raised his fist. “Do you know what this is?”

Joseph wore a mystified look on his face as he answered, “A hand?”

Wolf’s Greed shook his head and growled, “Wrong. This is my iron fist.”

Bam!

Wolf’s Greed sent Joseph flying out of the car with a punch.

Everyone at the scene gasped in shock as the same thought flashed through their minds.

That isn’t Joseph Zelly’s car after all.

Things aren’t going well. Will Mr. Murphy still show Joseph the respect he did just a while ago?

Just as they feared, Mr. Murphy’s face darkened.

F***ing hell! That isn’t Joseph Zelly’s car. He’s still the same ignorant and incompetent, spoiled rich kid.

I even went out of my way to butter this spoiled dandy up. Thinking about it makes me nauseous.

But if this isn’t his car, whose is it?

Could it be...

Everyone’s eyes fell on Zeke as the same question gnawed on their minds.

Impossible.

It’s absolutely impossible.

How could someone who raises dogs afford to own a Hongqi L5?

Zeke sent a small smile towards Sage. “Sage, where’s your ancestral shrine?”

Sage answered truthfully, “It’s right inside our ancestral home, about two kilometers ahead.”

“Get in. I’ll bring you there,” Zeke offered.

With that, Zeke opened the door to the backseat of the Hongqi.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What’s happening now?

Does this car really belong to Zeke Williams?

This... This... This is impossible.

Everyone wondered if Zeke would be shooting himself in the foot just like Joseph had.

Once Sage gets into the car, she’d probably be kicked out too, wouldn’t she?

Under Zeke’s encouragement, Sage decided to trust him and boarded the car.

She, however, was not kicked out.

Zeke glanced at Joshua and Eleanor, urging them, “Mr. and Mrs. Frederick, let’s go.”

Oh! Yes, yes!

Joshua and Eleanor snapped back to their senses and hurriedly got into the car, taking their leave.

Silence blanketed those who were left behind.

A chilly breeze blew past, causing the atmosphere around them to grow even more awkward.

What in the world just happened?

That Hongqi L5 really belongs to Zeke Williams!

Is he really just a mere soldier?

This must be some kind of sick joke.

Mr. Murphy’s face turned ashen.

I was such an idiot just now.

He could see that Zeke and Joseph held grudges against each other.

I flattered the Hongqi car owner’s enemy and ignored the car owner himself.

If he decides to pursue this matter, I might even lose my job.

Thank goodness I didn’t do anything too extreme, so there should be a chance to make up for it.

He shot Joseph a furious glare. “B******! How dare you fabricate military affiliation? Lying about being the Hongqi car owner is a crime.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to investigate you.” He adjusted his collar and added, “Also, the Walters’

application documents don’t qualify at all. I’ll be rejecting everything.”

He turned to get into his car after speaking.

The Walters were thrown into despair, quickly rushing up to beg Mr. Murphy to reconsider.

Unfortunately, Mr. Murphy left without looking back once.

All the Walters glared at Joseph with hatred burning bright in their eyes.

F***! It’s all this guy’s fault for messing around.

If he had not lied about being the car owner, he would not have gotten on the mayor’s bad side, and the application might have passed.

But now, because of him, they had greatly offended Mr. Murphy. There was no chance of getting his approval anymore.

Sadly, there was nothing they could do; he had doomed them.

Moreover, because he was a Zelly, they could not afford to cross him.

Hence, the Walters could only seethe in silence.

Joseph was made to be a fool, and his resentment towards Zeke only intensified.

He clenched his jaw and gritted out, “I don’t believe that the Hongqi is yours, Williams. Not even for one second.”

“I’m sure he stole it from whoever it belongs to and secretly took it out for a drive.”
