Chapter - 173

Madeleine and Emily immediately saw Douglas.

However, the two of them wondered why the VIP they had invited was with Zeke.

Madeleine had a bad feeling about this. “Emily, do you think Mr. Hill knows Zeke?”

Emily assured her, “You’re overthinking, Mom. Zeke must have taken the initiative to approach Mr. Hill on the grounds that he knows us. Mr. Hill doesn’t know that we’ve had a falling-out with him, so he probably talked to them out of politeness.”

Madeleine immediately nodded her head. “Yeah, that must be the case.” She added, “Let’s go and clarify the situation. We must not let Zeke win the favour of Mr. Hill.”

The two hurriedly went up to them, while Adam and Jeremy followed closely behind.

Madeleine yelled from afar, “You’re here, Mr. Hill. Excuse me for not welcoming you earlier.”

“Mr. Hill, we’ve reserved the suite. Let’s have our talk at the suite,” Adam said respectfully.

Douglas nodded his head and said to Zeke, “I shall get going, Williams, see you.”

Madeleine was displeased.

Zeke actually makes Douglas mistakenly think that now Zeke

They have a good relationship with us. He treats them so politely. What the hell did he say to Douglas?

Madeleine hurriedly explained, “Just ignore them, Mr. Hill. Did he say something to make you misunderstand that they have a good relationship with our family? To tell you the truth, we’re actually enemies.”

Douglas was stunned for a moment. “Enemies? Why would Mr. Hinton…”

Why would Zeke’s grandpa be with their enemies?

Adam hurriedly said, “They’re disloyal, unrighteous, and unfilial. We’ve already severed our relationship with them.”

The realization dawned on Douglas. “I see.”

Trying to stand up for Douglas, Emily condemned Zeke, “How dare you deceive Mr. Hill, Zeke.” She went on to say, “Mr. Hill, this kind of person should be punished by law! Would you want me to call the police for you?”

Douglas replied indifferently, “Sure, go ahead.”

“Okay.” Emily was overjoyed.

Douglas then added, “The police really should arrest you all, so that you can learn your lesson.”

Emily’s hand trembled. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Hill? Why arrest us?”

“Humph, it’s you who’s deceived me, not Williams,” said Douglas angrily.

Emily was confused. “When did we deceive you, Mr. Hill?”

“I agreed to attend the dinner this time because Williams’ grandfather, Adam, will also be there. I didn’t expect that Adam had already severed ties with Williams!” Douglas rebuked, “You knew the truth, but you didn’t tell me and have wasted my time. Isn’t this a deception? “

Emily asked with a trembling voice, “So, you agreed to come out of respect for Zeke? D-Do you know him?”

“Of course, Williams and I are good friends!”

Good friends!

Emily released a cry of desperation.

It’s because of Zeke again! How much power does this guy actually have in private? He’s now totally different from the man he used to be when he dated me!

How much power does this guy actually have in private?

He’s now totally different from the man he used to be when he dated me!

All the abilities, courage, financial resources, and even connections he demonstrated prove that he’s a good catch!

Yet, I broke up with him.

She was filled with remorse.

Meanwhile, Madeleine started to feel abashed.

If Zeke was still her son-in-law, he would definitely be able to collaborate with Reinz Pharmaceutical.

But because of her greed for the three hundred thousand back then, she now lost a deal worth tens or even hundreds of millions!

She had suffered a loss of one hundred million!

Douglas said indifferently, “Now get out of here before I call the police.”
