Chapter - 259

The bunch of co-developers felt a sense of relief when they heard Lacey’s words.

They felt as though they had just returned from a trip to hell.

Obviously, if Lacey had any intention to finish them off, Zeke wouldn’t hesitate to carry out her instruction at all.

Zeke replied indifferently, “I’ll let you guys off the hook since Lacey has said so.”

“However, let’s not forget about the funds you’ve embezzled during the construction of Love in a Fallen City.”

Zeke reached for the stack of invoices he had with him once again and slammed it on the table.

Everyone had a bitter smile on their faces.

That’s why we couldn’t locate the invoices just now! He’s been holding on to it all along!

Zeke told everyone, “There are two options for everyone! Number one! I’ll hand these over to the cops and send everyone behind bars.”

“Number two! I’ll have everyone supply the required materials for free until the completion of Love in a Fallen City.”

Everyone had an awful expression on their faces.

They had initially longed for Franky to give them more orders after he took over Lacey’s position.

Things had turned out to be exactly the other way round. They had indeed gotten a lot of orders, but they would have to bear the cost.

Apart from that, they wouldn’t be able to collect the receivables for past orders anymore.

Damn it! It’s all Florence and Franky’s fault!

The bunch of co-developers decided to push their luck once again. They begged Lacey to be merciful.

After all, Lacey had shown them mercy once. Perhaps she would disregard the conflict and collaborate with them once again.

“Ms. Lacey, we beg your pardon! We haven’t any idea who you were at all! We didn’t mean to offend you earlier! Please pay no heed to what we have said!”

“Ms. Lacey, I’m the sole breadwinner of my family as of now! This project is my only source of income! It’ll be over for me and my family if I really supply the required materials for free!”

“Ms. Lacey, please have mercy on us! Can you please settle the previous receivables before we begin supplying the required materials for free?”

Evan interrupted the bunch of co-developers before Lacey could reply. “Shut up, all of you!”

“Mr. Williams has been very merciful to dismiss all of you from the legal liabilities and provide such an alternative! How dare you guys try to push your luck! Even if Mr. Williams gives in to your requests, I will never allow it!”

The bunch of co-developers finally stopped when they heard Evan’s warning. They immediately gave in to Zeke’s instructions. “Alright! We’ll provide whatever materials required for free from now onwards!”

Zeke looked pointedly at the hefty co-developer with a grin on his face. “If I’m not mistaken, you’ve told me you’re gonna address me as your father shall you spend another cent on the project, right?”

The hefty co-developer flushed embarrassedly.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and honoured his words. “Dad!”

Zeke frowned and scolded, “That’s disgusting! Get out of my sight immediately!”

The hefty co-developer felt as though a heavyweight had been lifted off his shoulders as he fled immediately with other co-developers.

Florence scolded them, “Traitors! You guys are but a bunch of traitors!”

“We shall see! I’ll forgive no one!”

However, the bunch of co-developers ignored Florence and cursed her over and over again in their minds.

Franky and Florence were the ones who had brought upon their undoing.

Evan scolded Florence, “Shut up! Do you really have a death wish?”

“Mr. Williams, please accept my sincere apologies once again! Allow me to apologize on behalf of my wife. I’m sorry for what she’s done. I will discipline her in the future.”

“Erm… What should I do with her?”

Zeke replied, “I have settled the scores I have with her. It’s up to you to decide what you should do with her next. It has nothing to do with me anymore.”

Evan felt a sense of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Although Evan held a grudge against Florence for what she had done, she was, after all, still his wife. Hence, he didn’t want any misfortune to befall her either.

He scolded Florence, “Hmph! Thankfully, Mr. Williams has decided to be merciful! You’re as good as dead if he really wants you to drop dead!”

“Let’s go! I’ll deal with you once we’re home!”
