Evan replied, “Mr. Williams, I’m surprised you know about it. They invited me as you said.”
Zeke ordered, “In that case, give me your admission ticket. I need to attend the banquet.”
Evan nodded immediately. “No problem. I’ll send someone to bring it to you.”
Although Evan was really eager to attend the banquet to expand his business network, he still had to bear the loss
of the opportunity and acquiesce to Zeke.
In a short while, Evan’s man arrived with the admission ticket.
Right after he received it, Lacey got a call from Nancy.
“Lacey, come down quickly. I’m waiting for you at the entrance of Linton Group tower. By the way, don’t let Zeke
know. You should come down discreetly.”
Zeke let out a dry laugh. “She’s sitting beside me.”
Nancy hesitated before adding, “Do you have a club or an axe with you? Please knock him unconscious.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLacey ended the call instantly and asked Zeke, “Do you really want to go?”
“Of course. I wouldn’t feel at ease to let my beautiful wife attend the banquet alone.”
“Fine, but you have to promise me you won’t cause any trouble there,” Lacey replied without a choice. “There will
be many prominent people attending which the Linton Group may work with in the future. If we leave a poor
impression, it will affect the future development of the group.”
Zeke smiled. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
With that, both of them went downstairs.
John himself drove a Lincoln Limousine to pick the women up.
When he saw Zeke, he became upset. “Mr. Williams, those without an invitation card could not enter tonight’s
banquet.”
Before he could finish, Zeke threw the admission ticket in his face and ordered, “Drive.”
John had nothing else to say except to drive.
Clenching her teeth, Nancy stared at Zeke. With her right hand on the fire extinguisher, she was tempted to whack
Zeke’s head with it.
If she knocked him out, he could not follow her around anymore.
However, her actions were quickly noticed by Zeke, who shot an angry glare at her.
She had no choice but to forgo her plan.
She grumbled, “For Lacey’s sake, I’ll allow you to get some exposure to the outside world. Remember, don’t talk too
much there. It would be even better if you act dumb or hide. If you cause any trouble and disgrace Mance, I won’t
ever forgive you.”
Zeke shot a glance back at her. “I, too, have a piece of advice for you. Stay away from alcohol or you will be in
mortal danger.”
Nancy scowled, “Ba****d, who are you cursing?”
Lacey felt awkward being sandwiched between them.

In a short while, they arrived at the banquet organized by the Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce. It was indeed very
grand.
Outside, the music was blaring while there were tons of people around.
The female ushers greeted the guests wearing gowns with high slits. Their long and slender legs played peek-a-boo

Meanwhile, the ballroom was filled with successful men dressed in suits, mingling around noisily.
When Lacey and Nancy saw the scene, they couldn’t help but yell in excitement.
“Look! It’s Mr. MacTodd, the president of the MacTodd group.”
“OMG! The Raider family from Eastend state is here, too.”
“Mance is talking to the head of the most advanced tech company from the UK. He’s really amazing! Zeke,
everyone here belongs to the Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce. We cannot afford to offend any of them.
Remember, you must pretend to be dumb!”
