The reason for Conrad to form a union with the Williams family was so that he could take over the Williams family.
It was impossible for him to let go of this opportunity easily.
Lucille was delighted to hear his words. “Good. I’m relieved to hear this, Mr. Lewis. Let the wedding continue.”
Conrad muttered, “Keep the wedding going. I’ll think of ways to get Ryker out now.”
After leaving the hall, Conrad hurriedly made a call. “Sir, please help me.”
The one he was requesting help from was the head of the Luna family, Theodore Luna, who was also John’s boss.
The Luna family were royals; they were a tier above wealthy families like the Lewis family and the Williams family.
Hence, Conrad addressed him as Sir, daring not to call him Mr. Luna.
After hearing Conrad’s explanation, Theodore uttered plainly, “What he’s done is a minor crime. It won’t be a
problem.”
Conrad’s heart finally came back down from his throat. “Thank you very much, Sir.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbruptly, Theodore pronounced, “But you’ll have to do me a favor.”
Conrad answered, “Sir, do tell me what it is.”
Theodore uttered, “Kill Zeke Williams.”
Huh?
Conrad was stunned by his words. “Sir, you know Zeke? You have a grudge against him?”
Theodore’s tone was cold as he gritted out, “Do not ask what you should not know.”
“Understood,” Conrad quickly replied, “Sir, can I ask for another favor? Could you let Reinz Pharmaceutical open a
branch in Atheville? Don’t worry. I’ll look for sponsors. All I need will be its name.”
Theodore approved, “No problem.”
“Thank you!”
After ending the call, Conrad had visibly brightened up.
Reinz Pharmaceutical opening a branch in Atheville was his second step in taking over the Williams family.
Meanwhile, after the call, Theodore huffed, “That Zeke has too great of luck. Even the Lewis family is suffering in
his presence. He has not done anything to target me yet. He must not have found out my identity yet. I’ll let the
Lewis family entertain him for a while longer.”
Theodore assumed that Zeke had survived until now because of his good luck.
...
The next day.
After Lacey was done with her breakfast, she went to Eurasia Pictures to continue with her business meeting.
Until now, she still did not know that Eurasia Pictures belonged to the Williams family.
Otherwise, she would not have wanted to collaborate with Eurasia Pictures.
Just as Lacey had left, Wolf’s Greed came.
“Zeke, major news. Theodore Luna has finally made a move. He came personally to protect Ryker. Do you want me
to drag Ryker back myself?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke was surprised. “Oh? I didn’t know the Lewis family knows that man from the Luna family. No wonder the Lewis
family lasted so long. It turns out they’re the Luna family’s pawns. Don’t drag him back yet. If the Lewis family is
destroyed now, their assets will be confiscated, and I won’t be able to get anything from them. We’ll only deal with
them after I get their assets for Lacey.”
Wolf’s Greed nodded. “Understood. Also, Zeke, I heard that the Lewis family had requested ten percent of the
Williams family’s shares as the price for your appearance. However, the Lewis family had mentioned no such thing
to me yet. I think they’ve taken the shares for themselves.”
Zeke nodded. “Okay. It doesn’t matter. Both the Lewis and the Williams family are mine soon. It doesn’t matter who
takes whose things. It’ll all be mine.”
Wolf’s Greed replied, “Understood.”
Just then, Lacey suddenly called Zeke.
When he answered the call, he heard Lacey’s sobs.
Zeke held his breath as he asked urgently, “Lacey, what’s wrong?”
Lacey’s voice was trembling as she murmured, “Zeke, come and save me at Eurasia Pictures. Quick. T... They’ve
trapped me here.”
