Chapter 349
As if it was not already enough that Zeke was the boss of the Whiteridge project, he had now turned out to be the
leader of Riverdale District’s underworld forces.
This new image of Zeke was vastly different from the useless man whom everyone had thought he was.
He had suddenly become a threat to the Hinton family.
Daniel took a deep breath, and with mixed emotions, he looked at Zeke and asked, “Zeke, are you really the leader
of Riverdale District’s underworld forces?”
Zeke nodded and replied, “Dad, regardless of my status, it wouldn’t change the fact that I’m your son-in-law, Zeke.”
Feeling proud of Zeke, Daniel nodded and proclaimed, “Zeke, Dad trusts you. Even though you are the leader of the
underworld forces, I know you would never do anything immoral.”
“I’ll keep your words in mind, dad,” Zeke replied.
Adam, Jeremy, and Lily exchanged glances at each other with mixed feelings.
Without anyone realizing, Zeke had grown and achieved so much, far surpassing any of the Hinton’s.
If they had not pitted themselves against Lacey’s family, but instead, behaved cordially towards them, they might

But, they had already lost their chances by setting themselves at odds with Lacey’s family.
Currently, they had only one option left, which was to stand united with the Riverdale Hintons and deal with Zeke.
Marcel shot an impatient glance towards Zeke. Who’s this strange guy who has the guts to pretend to be our boss?
But judging that he seems to be on good terms with our Madam, Nancy, I’ll just let him continue pretending for all
he likes.
After snapping out of his thoughts, Marcel started clobbering Aaron and Michael again.
While Marcel was in the middle of giving the two men a good bashing, Nancy returned from the restroom.
Marcel halted his actions at once and hurriedly stood beside Nancy. He gave her a respectful bow and greeted her,
“Madam, you’re back. Please have a seat.”
M-m-adam?
Everyone was petrified.
She’s also one of the Riverdale Hintons, but why are we treated differently?
Marcel is treating us as if we are his archenemies whereas he’s obviously kissing her a**, and even calling her
‘Madam’...
What’s wrong with today? What’s with the continuous turn of events?
Daniel and Hannah almost had their eyes bulge out of their sockets.
If Zeke is Marcel’s boss, and Marcel is addressing Nancy as ‘Madam’... Wouldn’t it mean that Nancy and Zeke are
an item?
Then what about our Lacey?
It was a huge blow to the couple, and all they could hear was a buzzing noise in their heads.
Zeke’s face darkened.
He wanted to yell at Marcel there and then. Don’t be ridiculous! Your ‘Madam’ should be Lacey instead!
Marcel said again respectfully, “Madam, please take a seat first. I just need five more minutes to avenge you and
boss.”
The man had noticed, some time back, that Aaron had outcasted Nancy. By right, Nancy should be full of
resentment towards Aaron and his family.
Marcel was trying to get into Nancy’s good books by teaching Aaron a lesson.
Sensing that Marcel was going to beat him up again, Aaron was scared stiff.
His body was not going to be able to bear another round of beating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Nancy, please save us,” Aaron pleaded.
Nancy jumped up in shock. Only then did she notice Aaron, who was hurt and bruised all over his body.
She did not see Aaron just now as he was curled up under the table from Marcel’s ruthless bashing.
“Stop! Marcel, stop now!” Nancy shouted.
After all, Aaron was her grandpa. Although he had never treated her kindly, she could not bring herself to leave the
elderly man in the lurch.
Nancy rushed over to Aaron and helped him up. “Grandpa, are you alright?”
Aaron took a deep breath and replied, “Not going to die so easily.”
“Nancy, do you know their boss? Are you dating Marcel’s boss?”
Nancy nodded and replied, “You can say so, but things are more complicated than that.”
“Then... Is Zeke Williams their boss?” Aaron asked.
Nancy took a brief glance at Zeke and sighed, “Grandpa, what are you thinking? He’s just a useless man who has to
depend on his wife, how can he be compared to my hero? Their boss is my hero, the all-powerful, most honorable,
and invincible man in the entire Riverdale District!”
