Chapter 337
Meanwhile, the crowd was buzzing outside of the hotel.
They were speculating about how Zeke would meet his end.
Not only did he trespass the hotel, but he also even beat up the guards, which was unforgivable.
Lacey and her family could only look on with despair on their faces.
Since Zeke had been taken to the second floor, they figured that the chances of him coming out of the hotel
unscathed was next to none.
Every time they tried to barge in save him, Nancy held them back and told them to stay put.
She made call after call in an attempt to bail Zeke out using her connections, but it was to no avail.
At the same time, Aaron and Adam began to scoff at them.
Wouldn’t it be great if Zeke died? they thought.
When that happens, there would not be anyone to protect Lacey from harm’s way. Her entire family would become
our pawns.
Just then, the bespectacled man walked out of the hotel.
Everyone’s gazes turned to him in unison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey figured that he was there to announce Zeke’s untimely death.
However, the bespectacled man simply glanced at the crowd and asked, “Can Mr. Williams’ wife and parents-in-law
come forward please?”
Mr. Williams?
The people in the crowd exchanged confused looks.
It was because there were no prominent families in the Riverdale District with the surname ‘Williams’.
Did the Atheville Williams family come over as well?
“Oh, I was referring to Mr. Zeke,” the bespectacled man explained.
The crowd sucked in a collective breath in shock.
Did he just address the troublemaker as ‘Mr. Williams’?
What in the world is going on?
Michael pointed at Lacey and said, “She’s his wife!”
He figured that the bespectacled man was there to bring punish Zeke’s family for his own heinous crimes.
As for addressing Zeke as ‘Mr. Williams’, Michael believed that it was just a decoy to lure his family members out.
Lacey then took a step forward. “I am Zeke’s wife.”
“Is he alright? I want to see him.”
“Even if he dies, I’m going down with him, though I must beg to you to leave my parents out of this!”
The bespectacled man looked genuinely confused. “What are you talking about, sis-in-law?”
Sis-in-law?
The people in the crowd were shook to their bones.
Why did he address her as ‘sis-in-law’, as though Zeke is his brother or something?
Lacey froze for a moment, utterly confused.
The bespectacled man bowed low. “May I cordially invite Big Brother Williams’ family to enter the hotel with me.
Oh, he asked for someone by the name of Nancy to come in as well.”
“Mr. Williams is waiting for you in one of our private rooms.”
What?
The crowd could not believe their ears.
Not only did Zeke trespass the hotel, but he also beat up the guards in the hotel as well.
Despite everything, the hotel staff did not even put a finger on him, instead, they treated him and even his family
with the utmost respect...
Since when did the mafias start operating on the basis of respect?
The bespectacled man turned to the rest of the crowd. “All of you may enter as well.”

“Didn’t you tell us to wait outside until your boss comes?” someone in the crowd asked curiously.
“Didn’t you see? He just went in,” the bespectacled man answered.
He just went in?
Since when?
Since there was only one entrance to the hotel, everyone had had their eyes trained on it for the past hour.
Yet besides Zeke, nobody went into the hotel through that entrance.
Unless...
A scary theory began to sprout in everyone
’s minds.
Zeke Williams is their boss!
He was the one who dismantled the underworld forces!
It was not an explanation that they liked, but it was the only logical one.
They began to shiver in fear as they thought back to how they were belittling the leader of the Riverdale
underworld just a few moments ago.
However, Aaron refused to admit defeat. “No... there has to be some kind of misunderstanding...”
