Chapter - 1472

Lacey turned to Zeke and asked, “Zeke, was it your doing?”

Zeke answered. “To be honest, Lacey, I was the one who proposed the plan to replicate an aircraft carrier. I also monitored everything from the purchase of the wreckage, its transportation, and the rebuilding process. This project determines the fate of the country, so please forgive me for keeping it from you until now.”

Lacey was cautious when she spoke. “Actually, Zeke, I think there are some amazing corporations that would do a better job than our company. We can’t risk affecting this project’s outcome just for our personal gain. This is too important for Eurasia, and we must choose the best candidate for it. Our company is a tad… too weak.”

Zeke reassured her, “Actually, there is no better candidate for this project. The corporation responsible for the project must be loyal to the country. After all, everything is top-secret. I believe that Linton Group is the most loyal company in the country.”

Lacey thought about it for a while before she nodded. “You’re right about that. Okay, then it’s settled. Mr. Gunn, we look forward to working with you.”

Tim smiled. “As do we.”

Dawn turned to the burly man and boasted, “Hah, who said that Zeke is useless? He might’ve lost his ability to fight, but he still found ways to contribute to the country. He is Eurasia’s savior!

You should be ashamed of yourself for insulting him.”

The burly man was dumbfounded.

He wanted to kill himself there and then for his own stupidity.

Damn it. I missed out on a great opportunity! If | didn’t mess things up with Linton Group for Mary’s sake and continued working with the corporation, my company and I would’ve risen to the top! But now, Mary has ruined everything and even pushed me towards bankruptcy! It’s all her fault!

Overwhelmed with rage, he kicked Mary and shouted, “You b*tch! You drove a wedge between Ms. Hinton and me. I’m going to kill you!”

The burly man started throwing punches at Mary, which prompted her agonizing screams to echo in the hall.

After that, the burly man hurried to Lacey’s side and tried to appease her.

“Ms. Hinton, l-I apologize for my earlier behavior. I was inhumane, but that was all Mary’s fault. She conned me into thinking that you are dishonorable. Ms. Hinton, please give me one more chance. I-I’ll have Mary sacrifice her life as an apology to you.”

Mary trembled in fear as she knew that the burly man was capable of murder.

Meanwhile, Tim didn’t know what had happened between the burly man and Linton Group, so he turned to Manny and asked, “Prichett, what happened?”

Manny quickly explained everything to Tim.

Upon knowing the truth, Tim broke out in cold sweat.

Even I have to be wary when I’m around Zeke Williams! Hell, I didn’t even dare to defend myself after he scolded me. What gives that assh*le the right to go against the Linton Group like that?

Tim reprimanded, “Wheeler, I’ve long suspected that you abused your position and redirected the Atheville Chamber of Commerce’s funds for your personal gain. That was why I had my people investigate you, and we learned that not only did you steal from the organization, but you also received bribes, evaded tax, and committed several financial frauds. Take him down, boys.”

The soldiers were already standing guard outside the building, so they immediately rushed over to arrest the burly man.
