Mrs. Jones fell to the ground after being slapped and quickly appealed to the crowd for justice.
However, not a single soul paid any attention to her. Instead, they were gloating in their hearts.
You were obnoxious and a snob. You got what was coming and deserve no sympathy.
Though they were secretly pleased, they could not help but be worried for Zeke.
But still, Daniel’s son-in-law is too reckless. Isn’t he afraid that Henry would sue him for his entire fortune?
They did not understand what Henry Jones meant by Martial Arts Association and Gavin Zachary, the benefactor,
but the titles sounded menacing.
He was certainly more than capable of ruining Lacey Hinton and her family.
At that instant, Daniel was filled with regret.
He should not have told Zeke the truth. Now the situation had worsened.
He was better off finishing the two plates of pasta.
Before long, Lacey arrived at the scene.
She felt dizzy when she saw the situation before her.
Lacey asked anxiously, “What happened? What’s going on?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Jones played the part of the victim and said miserably whilst on the floor, “Lacey Hinton, you should keep a
tight leash on your violent and abusive husband. Look at what he has done. He beat up my son and even struck me,
an elderly.”
At once, Lacey reprimanded Zeke, “Zeke, why did you hit them?”
Yet Zeke simply said, “They deserved it.”
Hearing his reply, Lacey grew frustrated, “Do you realize what you have done and the trouble you caused me?”
She then looked at Henry apologetically and said, “Mr. Jones, I am very sorry! Please accept our apologies.”
But Henry was unwilling to let go. He bit his lip and said, “Just an apology, and you expect to get away with it? What
use is the law if an apology was sufficient.”
“Lacey Hinton, I am officially terminating our joint-venture. You b**tards better have my one hundred million ready
and an additional one hundred million in medical expenses.”
“In fact, I will spread the word within the entertainment circle, and no artiste will work with you in the future, or my
name isn’t Henry Jones.”
Lacey went pale the moment he said that.
Putting aside the two hundred million damages, the possibility that no artiste would work with Linton Group would
be the final nail on the coffin for the company.
What am I going to do... what am I going to do?
She glared at Zeke and thought to herself, “You barely arrived back in town, and you have already caused me so
much trouble. Why did you even bother coming back.”
However, Zeke comforted Lacey and said, “Don’t worry, Lacey. Everything will be fine.”
“We will pay him the two hundred million.”
“Of course, he would need to pay us the one billion first.”
Henry grinned and said to Zeke, “Williams, have you lost your marbles? Why would I pay you one billion.”
Zeke replied, “You went behind Grand Empire Group’s back and signed a personal deal. That is a breach of the
company’s rules. One billion is already letting you off easy.”
“Pffft,” Henry Jones scoffed. “Even if that were true, it would be to Grand Empire Group. What has that got to do
with you.”
Zeke shrugged his shoulders and said, “I apologize for the lack of introductions. I am Zeke, the boss of Grand
Empire Group.”
“Haha!” Henry Jones burst out laughing. “You are killing me! Everyone knows Grand Empire Group belongs to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEastend Martial Arts Association. How could you even say that with a straight face?”
Even Lacey grew visibly annoyed.
Zeke is putting on a tough act yet again.
Ignoring his taunts, Zeke retorted, “You don’t believe me? Alright, allow me to show you.”
He took out his phone and called the beautiful assistant director of Grand Empire Group, Jessie Diaz. “Jessie, Henry
Jones breached company policies and signed a personal endorsement contract. Issue him a one billion penalty
fine.”
“If he refuses to pay damages, please proceed with legal actions!”
“Understood!” On the other end of the phone, Jessie responded.
Henry appeared disappointed. “Ah, is that it? Just a bluff? My dear Daniel and Hannah, what were you two thinking
in picking this loser as your son-in-law.”
“Hey Williams, are you done with your antics? Now it’s my turn to show you what I am capable of!”
He took out his phone to call his God-father, Gavin Zachary, for help.
But then...
