Chapter - 269

Lacey and Franky looked in the direction of the entrance.

The former was delighted, while the latter was horrified when they figured out who had made it into the VIP suite.

F***! How did he manage to return within such a short period of time?

That damned old geezer! He can’t even carry out such a simple instruction?

Lacey shouted with all her might, “Zeke! Help me!”

Franky was horrified and moved away from Lacey as Zeke rushed over immediately.

However, he was no match for Zeke in terms of speed.

Zeke got in his way and grabbed his head. He sent Franky flying all the way up to the ceiling.

Franky was launched into the air once again.

He crashed into the high-speed ceiling fan attached.

Blood spewed everywhere in the room as the highspeed ceiling fan skinned the top of Franky’s scalp off.

He broke the table as soon as he returned to the ground. Shattered glasses pierced into his body as a result.

Arghhhh!

Franky held on to his head and yelled in pain.

Zeke squatted down immediately and apologized, = “I’m so sorry for being late, Lacey.”

Boohoo!

Lacey, who managed to make it out unscathed, broke into tears in between Zeke’s arms. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have defied your words! I shouldn’t have left the headquarters!”

Zeke held on to Lacey firmly in between his arms.

Shirleen rushed over with her men soon.

She was infuriated when she saw the scene in front of her.

Franky had actually been beaten to a pulp by Zeke on her domain.

She was certain the investment Franky had promised her was as good as gone.

It’s all Lacey and her useless husband’s fault!

Shirleen yelled angrily, “Zeke! How dare you poke your nose into my business? I’ll get my husband to get rid of you!”

“Darren will be here soon! You better get on your knees and beg Mr. Forrest for forgiveness if you do not wish to die!”

Zeke cast a stern gaze at Shirleen.

“Darren? That’s your final trump card up your sleeve?”

“Great! I have no intention to make a move against such a filthy woman like you either. I’ll get Darren to get rid of you on my behalf!”

“F***! You’re indeed an arrogant one, aren’t you?” shouted Shirleen angrily.

“Darren’s the most powerful figure in Oakheart City’s underworld! I heard you’re affiliated to those from the underworld as well, but I’m sure you’re just an insignificant character!”

“How dare you make a move against the woman of such a prominent figure! You’re as good as dead!”

Zeke replied, “Ha!”

Shirleen got extremely worked up because of how calm and collected Zeke was.

She decided to threaten Lacey instead, “You better get your husband to get on his knees and beg for mercy! Perhaps I’ll let you off the hook and spare your husband and your life if you manage to please Mr. Forrest, Lacey!”

“I’ve decided to give you another chance since you’re a friend of mine! You better appreciate this rare opportunity!”

“Hmph! Mr. Forrest’s a wealthy and influential man! Your husband’s nothing but a wimp! You must have had lost your mind to get married to such a loser!”

Lacey had been crying in between Zeke’s arms all along; she was utterly horrified. She had no idea what Shirleen was talking about due to the effect of the alcohol.

Shirleen gritted her teeth and warned them, “Fine! It seems like you guys do have a death wish! Very well, I’ll fulfil that wish of yours!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Forrest. I shall avenge you today!”

Suddenly, an angry man’s horrendous voice could be heard coming from downstairs. “What the hell’s happened here?”

It was Darren’s voice.

Darren had rushed over once he had gotten rid of Jonas.

Shirleen was delighted and exclaimed, “Darren’s finally here! Both of you should get ready for what’s about to happen next!”

She rushed outside and welcomed Darren immediately.

Meanwhile, Darren led his men upstairs to the second floor.

His pupils constricted when he saw how pathetic Shirleen’s condition was. “What happened, Shirleen?”

“Darren, you have to defend me! An impudent fool ran his car through the entrance of our hotel. I tried to get him to compensate for our loss, but he had beaten us up instead!” Shirleen wailed, lying to Darren about what had happened.

“Ahhh! My arms were broken as a result!”
