Zeke shouted at Darren, “Who told you all to come?”
Darren responded, “Mr. Williams, we just found out you were in danger...”
“What? Do you think I’m so weak that I can’t deal with this on my own?” Zeke sneered.
Though Zeke sounded arrogant, Darren knew what he said was true!
“The rest of you, leave. Darren, you stay back!” ordered Zeke.
“Okay!” Darren immediately dismissed his men. “What can I do for you, Mr. Williams?”
Zeke took a glance at Sleek Rat.
While Zeke was busy dealing with other things, Sleek Rat had managed to get one of his men to help him escape.
“Follow that guy and check his background.”
“Got it!” Darren hopped into his car and started tailing Sleek Rat.
Nancy was still at a loss. “Why did you hide this from me?” she said tearfully. “Are you trying to make me look
stupid?”
Zeke replied, “Hide what from you? Since when did I make you look stupid?”

lamented.
Zeke quickly denied, “What nonsense are you talking about? What makes you think I’m your hero?”
“Your back is exactly the same as my hero’s! You are my hero!” insisted Nancy.
Zeke did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Are you kidding me? The backs of all men from Eurasia look more or
less the same. How could you jump to this conclusion just like that?”
“But the aura you exuded when all those men kneeled before you was just extraordinary, and I’ve seen the same
extraordinary aura in my hero! This is not something anyone can fake easily!” said Nancy.
Zeke tried to clarify. “Let me ask you this. Who were those people who kneeled before your hero? Armies or
henchmen?”
“Armies,” replied Nancy.
He continued, “See? Those men who bowed before me were just a group of henchmen. I don’t have the power to
get a group of armies to do that!”
Nancy thought about it and finally put on a smile. “You’re right. I should have thought of that. You’re capable - well,
sort of, but I’m sure you don’t have such great power to get armies to bow before you. Damn it. I must have lost
my mind in making that association. You’re just a kept... Um, businessman. Of course, you’re not my hero!”
Zeke was speechless.
Do you have to be so cheerful after finding out I’m not your hero?
In the meantime, Nancy noticed Michael was trying to sneak away. She went up and kicked him to the ground.
“How dare you run away, jerk? I’ll make sure you’ll be charged with attempted murder. Get ready to go to prison!”
Michael pleaded, “Please, we’re a family. Please don’t be so cruel. The Hintons are still counting on me to produce
an heir for the family. It’ll be the end of our family if I go to prison.”
Nancy roared, “Shut up! Have you thought of me as your family when you tried to kill me? Sofia, do me a favor. Call
the police!”
“Stop!” A loud voice emerged from a distance.
It was Aaron Hinton who had arrived with the rest of the Hinton family.
Michael had secretly called Aaron for help while the others were busy dealing with the mess earlier.
No one else but only Aaron could save him now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing how miserable Michael was, Aaron yelled, “Nancy, how dare you work with outsiders to torture your
own family member! You’re a traitor!”
Nancy explained, “Listen to me, grandpa. He tried to kill me...”
Michael immediately stepped in. “I’m innocent! Don’t listen to her! How could I kill her? She’s my cousin! Grandpa,
it was all because of Zeke. He was not happy that we’re on Mance’s side. Hence, he wanted to take revenge on
me!”
He continued, “Zeke worked with Nancy and tried to frame me for murder. They used this to threaten me to
support Linton Group! Then, they attacked me because they wanted me to sign an agreement that forces me to
attend their listing ceremony instead of Mance’s opening ceremony! Grandpa! Help me!”
“This is atrocious!” Aaron flew into a fit of rage and was about to slap Nancy. “Did we raise you to become a traitor
to the family? Kneel down, right now, and apologize to Aaron. I want you to swear that you’ll not keep in touch with
Zeke anymore. If you refuse, I’ll kick you out of the family. I’ll even have your parents’ graves removed from the
ancestral graveyard!”
