Chapter 955
Lord Protector Novel
She suddenly recalled Lucius saying that the company would soon become his.
So heâs had it all planned out.
Lacey went looking for Zeke while clutching the newspaper in anger.
Zeke was in the midst of thinking of a way to take the Lewis family down.
Now that both families had been merged, it was about time for him to make a move.
Lacey handed the newspaper over to Zeke. âWould you care to explain further on this issue, Zeke?
Whatâs with your unwritten rules?â
Zeke was puzzled. âWhat unwritten rules?â
His gaze turned dark immediately, upon reading the news. âS***! Theyâre slandering me along with Trust Media. You trust me, donât you, Lacey? Thereâs no way Iâd do something this crude.â
Lacey rubbed her temples in discomfort, sighing, âI trust you, Zeke, but the world doesnât trust us. Our reputationâs fallen completely down the drain. Itâs going to be really hard to prove our innocence.â
âLucius and these five artists have always had promising futures,â Zeke replied. âTheyâd never do anything that would only harm others, bringing no benefit to themselves... Unless theyâve been threatened or lured. You should go home and rest, Lacey. Donât worry about this. Leave it to me.â
Okay.
âZeke, if it really doesnât work out, we should just retreat,â Lacey admitted gloomily. âConnections run deep in Atheville, and the entertainment is even tougher to navigate. We may have chosen the wrong field to dive into.â
Upon Laceyâs departure, Zeke immediately called General Cosmopolis, Wolfâs Greed. âI need you to find out where Lucius Johansson and his five artists had gone today, Wolfâs Greed.â
âRoger that,â Wolfâs Greed answered.
He called Zeke ten minutes later.
âIâve got it, Zeke. Lucius and the five artists had dropped by the Lewis family home earlier today. After leaving, they headed straight to Trust Media to terminate their contracts.â
The Lewis family?
Zeke was instantly filled with murderous intent.
He was just having trouble finding a way to act against the Lewis family.
Fortunately, the Lewis family had just handed him the perfect opportunity.
If not now, when?
Zeke instructed Wolfâs Greed immediately, âDig up all the dirt that you can, about Lucius and these five celebrities.â
âNo problem.â
This time round, Zeke had to wait a little longer.
He received a document from Wolfâs Greed roughly an hour later.
Gazing at the information on the document, a cold smirk appeared upon Zekeâs face.
Godd***. These scoundrels sure are full of dirt.
How are these celebrities worthy of all the love and glory that they get?
What an insult!
The next day, Zeke and Lacey headed over to Trust Media.
Before they could even get into work mode, loud noises resounded from outside.
The two ran out in a flash.
There were suddenly over a dozen people gathered outside the building, loudly hurling insults at Trust Media.
The security guards tried to stop them, only to get beaten up instead.
It was a complete mess.
âFrauds like you should just leave Atheville! How could you leech off, from the hard work of your artists?â
âFurthermore, youâd tried to tie my idols down with your unwritten rules? Disgusting! You should take a look in the mirror.â
Laceyâs head began to pound. âListen to me,â she quickly explained. âThe truth is... Youâve all been tricked. Our company has always been transparent with its accounts and we only keep the commissions earned from the commercials. As for the unwritten rules, thatâs pure nonsense...â
The crowd was instantly furious. âS***! Youâd dare to slander our idols even more? Beat her up!â
They proceeded to hurl rotten eggs and vegetables towards Zeke and Lacey.
Godd***it!
