Zeke took a deep breath.
Zeke took a deep breath.
Not wanting to make Kyle and Olivia angry, he had no choice but to get up and slowly walk toward Sofia's bedroom.
It was pointless to say anything now, as only by showing his true strength could he stand up tall.
When he reached the door of the bedroom, he suddenly turned around and flashed a smile at Sofia. “Sofia, do you
want to experience being a powerful person? I'll arrange that for you in a while.”
Hahaha!
The crowd exploded into laughter once again.
Whereas Kyle and his family lowered their head in embarrassment and said nothing.
Once inside the room, Zeke gave Ben a call.
The phone was picked up after it had merely rung once.
Ben asked cautiously, “What can I do for you, Sir?”
“The project you wanted to give me earlier is a tourism development project near Whiteridge, right?” asked Zeke.
Ben hurriedly nodded his head. “Yes, you're right, Sir. Please take pity on me and accept this project, Sir. Or rather,
if you want, I can hand you the whole Williams family. Sir, our family is in a precarious position. We're in turmoil.
Only you can get everything under control.”
“I won't take over this project, but my sister may be interested in it,” said Zeke.
What?!
Ben started to weep with joy.

He has finally relented.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough it was unrealistic to ask him to forgive the Williams family now, it was at least a step forward.
“Don't worry, Sir, I'm on it,” Ben said through tears of joy. “Thank you, Sir. Thank you so much...”
“By the way, the time has come for my sister to marry, so, as a brother, I want to help her prepare some dowry—”
“Leave it to me, Sir, I assure you.” Ben immediately understood what Zeke was implying without waiting for him to
finish. “I swear on my death that I'll take care of this well.”
“Okay,” replied Zeke.
After hanging up the phone, Zeke gave his body a stretch.
Sofia, you protected me when I was a kid, and now, it's my turn to protect you.
His gaze fell upon a photo frame placed on a nightstand.
In the photo, Zeke and Hudson were squatting on the ridge while Sofia touched their heads with a charming smile
tugging at the corners of her mouth.
This was the only photo Zeke had ever taken during his childhood. It might also be the only photo Sofia and Hudson
had ever taken.
Zeke reached out to touch Sofia's face on the photo. “From now on, Sofia, I want you to keep this sweet smile on
your face forever.”
At the same time, he noticed a hole likely caused by fire in the upper left corner of the photo.
He hes finelly relented.
