Zeke nodded. “Alright, I shall not take up any more of your time. I will take my leave now.”
The captain said, “Take care, Mr. Williams. By the way, we are selecting the top 3 best drivers in the city. We will
consider you as one of the nominees. There will be rewards for the winners.”
“Thank you,” said Zeke.
Nancy was dumbfounded at their interaction.
He’s really acquainted with these officers from the traffic department. Moreover, he’s able to chat with them
casually. I can tell these officers are polite and perhaps even feeling a little inferior toward Zeke Williams. But he’s
supposed to be just a kept-man, a useless loser. How can a thug like him maintain such a friendly relationship with
these officers? Well, that’s not the point. The important thing is Zeke Williams can help me.
Nancy hurriedly called out to Zeke just as he was about to leave the scene in his car, “Stop it right there, Zeke
Williams! Come help me out since you’re on good terms with these officers.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke responded, “You didn’t believe me, did you?”
“Oh, those words slipped out of my mouth without myself knowing. I am Lacey’s sister, so you should consider me
as your ‘sis’ too. We’re a family, so there’s no need for us to be so petty toward one another.”
“I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ll be able to help.”
“Yes, you can definitely help!”
“Yes, I can but I don’t want to. “
Nancy was taken aback by Zeke’s response. How dare you oppose me, kept-man! I’ll let you suffer greatly.
Nancy was anxious when she saw Zeke starting his car engine. “What do I have to do to make you help me, Zeke
Williams?”
Zeke pondered briefly before he answered, “It’s simple. All you have to do is to address me politely and admit your
mistakes. Promise me you will never pick on me in the future.”
Nancy said firmly, “In your dreams! I would rather face death than to address you politely.”
“Then you will have to retake the driving test for 6 months before getting back your license. Moreover, you’re not
guaranteed to pass the test on your first attempt.”
He shifted the gear and was about to step on the gas pedal.
Nancy looked up at the sky in despair.
She could already feel the agony of taking the driving lessons and test under the blazing sun. Fine. I’ll give in for
now. There’s no shame in submitting to defeat. I’ll forget about it and move on with my life after this!
She shouted at once, “Wait, Zeke Williams!”
Zeke stepped on the brake and looked at Nancy with a smile.
That was the most humiliating moment in Nancy’s life. “Mr. Williams, I was wrong. I will never pick on you again in
the future.”
“What did you call me?” Zeke asked.
Nancy answered with much difficulty through her gritted teeth, “Mr. Williams.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke felt relieved after getting his revenge.
He said solemnly, “This is just a light punishment, Nancy. If you dare to shame me in front of Lacey again, you will
face a worse consequence.”
“So what if I am a kept-man? You’re not supporting my living anyway. Have I ever offended you? Don’t forget that I
made the tourist destination development project possible. You need to learn to be grateful toward others who
assisted you. At the very least, you should not repay other’s kindness with hatred. Don’t tell me a member of the
Riverdale Hinton family does not even have basic manners?”
Nancy felt the urge to cry as she was aggrieved. I can’t believe a kept-man is lecturing me. I cannot accept this!
Moreover, why are you so upset? I merely teased you a few times!
She suppressed her resentment and said, “I was wrong.”
“Get lost then,” Zeke said to her.
Nancy was relieved. She got into her car swiftly and drove away.
After she put some distance between herself and Zeke, Nancy suddenly stepped on the brake and showed Zeke her
middle finger.
