Upon realizing that his brother-in-law, General Ryker Lewis, had arrived, Zach grew so terrified that he wet himself.
Caught in the act, with his wife at that...
I’m screwed. I’m totally screwed!
Half an hour later, a completely bruised and battered Zach was brought in, before Robin and Conrad.
Robin sobbed incessantly. “You jerk. You’re nothing but scum, Zach Williams. How dare you cheat on me? I’ll... I’ll
never forgive you.”
“What a good-for-nothing piece of trash you are,” Conrad lamented. “To think that the Lewis family had tried to
help you to become the leader of the Williams family. Is this how you repay us for all the opportunities and trust
that we’d given you?”
“Dad, Robin, why even bother speaking to him?” asked Ryker. “He’ll pay for bullying my wife!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, he sent Zach flying with a kick.
Zach fell to the ground, writhing in intense pain.
“I’m sorry... It’s... It’s all my fault.”
“You’d committed such a disgusting crime. Do you really think a word of apology will suffice? I want you to pay with
your life!” Ryker demanded.
Soon enough, he took out a dagger and approached Zach menacingly.
Zach was utterly horrified.
Ryker was someone who had fought on the battlefields. Killing someone was a piece of cake for him.
“I’m sorry! Please forgive me, Ryker,” Zach cried out in tears. “I won’t do it again. I promise!”
“Stop it!”
Eventually, Conrad’s voice rang out.
“Control your emotions, Ryker. The deed’s already been done; what good would there be in killing him? You and Lily
aren’t married yet, and Zach didn’t know any better either. It’s not like what he did is unforgivable. What needs to
be done for now is to come up with a solid way to solve this.”
Robin proceeded to defend Zach too, “He’s my husband in name, so you can’t kill him. You don’t want me to end up
a widow, do you?”
Zach was touched.
At the end of the day, it was his wife who always had his back.
He now felt increasingly remorseful.
The rage in Ryker’s heart was slowly put out. “He gets to live, but he can’t escape punishment. I won’t do anything
to him illegally, but we’ll have to do things according to the law, which is to place him behind bars.”
“Are you willing to comply, Zach?” asked Conrad.

Zach hurriedly nodded. “It’s no problem. I’ll willingly do that.”
Conrad sighed, “To think that you’re going to prison for sexual assault right after earning your place as the leader of
the prominent Williams family. Everyone’s going to laugh if word gets out.”
Zach lowered his head in shame.
He had just become the new head of the Williams household, but now, he was about to serve jail time.
He and the entire Williams household were bound to be the butt of everyone’s jokes.
Robin sighed too, “Their tarnished reputation will be nothing compared to their economic losses. Without a head,
the Williams family is going to be in chaos. Not only might they go bankrupt, rather, but they might also even end
up in extinction. However, don’t worry, Zach. I’ll be sure to manage the Williams family well. I won’t let it fall into a
mess.”
“How are you going to manage the Williams family? You have no power or authority to do that,” Conrad remarked.
At that moment, Robin gazed at Zach lovingly. “Do you trust me, Zach? If you do, let me take over as head of your
family.”
The woman finally revealed her true colors.
