Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 324

Zeke was disgusted by what he saw, and the hairs on his back stood up.

Nancy printed my photo on all her nails? Ten of them?

Oh dear, she must love me deeply!

He knew Susan who handled the medical business, and Summer who handled the catering business in his company fancied him.

Even Sandra from the Hill village liked him, too.

If Nancy were added to the list, he would not be able to hold them at bay.

Ugh, I just want to spend the rest of my life with Lacey. Why is it so hard?

Nancy’s Maserati had just reached the exit when she suddenly made a U-turn.

Staring at Lacey in shock, she asked, “Lacey, how many glasses are there on your table?”

Lacey blurted out, “One.”

Nancy seemed terribly upset. “One! That means I drank the water from this kept man’s glass.”

“Ahhhhh! Ugh, how disgusting!”

Lacey was at a loss for words.

After Nancy left, Lacey told Zeke, “Come on, let’s go back home to prepare to return to Riverdale.”

“Okay,” Zeke nodded.

On the way home, Lacey suddenly muttered, “A Santana fitted with Mercedes-Benz’s tires? Nancy’s hero is so pretentious.”

“A man like this isn’t reliable at all. I worry for Nancy.”

Zeke had no idea how to respond.

Back in the office, Zeke took the contract of the tourist destination development project in Whiteridge with him.

Lacey inquired, “Why are you bringing the useless contract along?”

As the contract was stamped with the forged stamp, she thought it was automatically obsolete.

Zeke shot her a smile. “It might be of use.”

Lacey pursed her lips. “Fine, whatever.”

After packing up, they went home to pick up Daniel and Hannah.

As for Sharon, as she was too young, she was left behind at home. Grandma would take care of her.

They went to Adam’s house to gather before leaving together.

On the way there, Daniel told Zeke, “Zeke, the Riverdale Hintons are a prominent family. It’s normal for them to look down on ordinary citizens like us.”

“Every year when we go to pay our respects to our ancestors, they’d mock and ridicule us. When that happens, you should endure it and not confront them. Our family isn’t strong enough to go against them for now.”

Zeke nodded. “Okay, got it. Don’t worry, Dad.”

As he said that, he decided silently he would destroy the Hinton family in Riverdale if needed.

Not long after, they arrived at Adam’s house.

However, Adam’s house was tightly shut. Daniel shouted outside a few times, but no one came to open the door.

As a thought occurred to Daniel, his face darkened, and he took out his phone to call Adam.

“Dad, where are you?” he asked. “We’re here to pick you up to go to Riverdale.”

Adam replied frostily. “I’m already at the Hinton family house in Riverdale. You can come here yourself.”

He hung up right after saying that.

Hannah sighed, “Well, previously it was only the Riverdale Hinton’s against us. Now, even your dad is against us. I’m so unlucky to have married you.”

Daniel seemed guilty as he said in a tiny voice, “Zeke, let’s go there now.”

“Mm,” Zeke nodded and drove off.

Meanwhile, in Riverdale District, the thirty-two stories high Hinton family building was smack in the middle of the city.

It was obvious how capable the Riverdale Hinton’s were.

They were not as rich as the Forrest family in Riverdale, but they were one of the top four richest families in Riverdale.

On the top floor of the building, people were milling around in the banquet room.

Aaron Hinton, Adam’s brother, was seated at the head of the table as he was the patriarch of the Hinton family.

The other people sitting around him were his sons and grandchildren.

Nancy was sitting among them. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Adam and Jeremy were elders, but they sat together with Aaron’s grandchildren.
