Chapter 984

“Ghost?”

Zoey grew even more confused.

Why on earth is Lyndsay spouting nonsense?

“Do I look like a ghost to you?”

Levi chuckled at her question.

Lyndsay gawked at the man with a frightened and incredulous expression.

“She’s acting really weird. Why does she keep talking gibberish?”

Zoey’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and bewilderment glinted in her big, round eyes.

“She’s here to kneel before me.”

With that, Levi dragged the terrified woman out of the office and to the front of the company’s entrance.

Only then did Lyndsay slowly regain her composure.

“You… You’re not dead?” she asked in disbelief.

“I told you I wouldn’t die, didn’t I?” Levi chuckled.

The woman hurriedly sent a text to seek confirmation on the matter, and Jayden soon verified that Levi’s death did not occur as planned.

“How are you still alive? It should’ve been impossible!”

She couldn’t wrap her head around this fact.

“Why do you say so? Did you send someone to murder me?”

The grin on Levi’s face grew even wider as he spoke.

“No, no… I should actually get going…”

Turning around, Lyndsay tried to scurry away.

“Hold on. Did I say you could leave?”

Levi’s voice echoed in her ears.

“What? How can you stop me from leaving? What are you trying to do?” she retorted fearlessly.

I’m not scared of him. He’s just an illegitimate bastard who’s going to lose his life anytime.

“Do you still remember our bet yesterday?”

His words made Lyndsay’s expression fall. Yet, the woman gritted her teeth, denying it. “Our bet? What bet are you talking about? I don’t know a thing about it.”

“Besides, you’re not qualified to have ever placed a bet with me,” she added.

“You said it right here yesterday evening. You told me that if I’m still alive today, you’ll kneel before me now,” Levi stated slowly, enunciating every word.

“No way! No such thing happened! Why would I agree to such a lame bet?” Lyndsay denied adamantly.

“Move aside! I’m leaving!”

She attempted to shove him out of the way, but he caught ahold of her and said, “I’ll let you go only if you kneel to me.”

Levi’s voice was ice cold and intimidating.

Lyndsay’s face flushed in embarrassment.

Of course I remember the bet. But there’s no way I’m going to kneel to this bastard! That’ll be the humiliation of a lifetime! I’m the vice president of the Pinnacle Group and a prominent figure under the Garrison clan of Oakland City. According to the norms in the upper echelons of society, I’m nobler than the others because of my close association with the Garrison clan. It’ll be so embarrassing if I kneel before a lowly illegitimate son like him. So there’s no way I’m going to admit it.

“You claimed that there’s a bet between us. Do you have any proof of it?” she asked, continuing to insist that she had nothing to do with whatever bet the man was talking about.

Only Levi and I were here yesterday, so I’m sure he has no proof.

Levi burst into mocking laughter.

“You want proof? I have it.”

He took his phone out and played a recording of what Lyndsay had said yesterday.

Her voice sounded from the phone speakers, and it was clear that she had indeed said she would kneel to Levi if he wasn’t dead.

“You… You…”

Never had she thought that he would have recorded their conversation.

She wasn’t aware of the fact that Levi actually made a habit of keeping pieces of evidence whenever he was dealing with cunning people like her.

“What else do you have to say? Kneel before me now,” he sneered at her.

Lyndsay shot him a death stare and said, “So what if you have proof? The recording must be fake! Even if it’s real, I was only joking. How dare you ask me to kneel? Dream on! Never in your lifetime will you be qualified for me to kneel before you. It’ll be impossible for you to make me do such a thing!”

Lyndsay continued to insist on leaving shamelessly.

Levi scowled. Alright. I guess there’s only one way to handle a scoundrel like her.
