Chapter - 300

At this very moment, Sofia had but one feeling… fear!

She was truly horrified.

A helicopter and a one-billion project… This was a rather huge battle.

Sofia staggered back, saying, “You must be mistaken, Ben… You’re definitely mistaken…”

Joshua ran up and announced, “There’s no mistake in this, Sofia. Ben’s arrival is indeed an arrangement made by that friend of mine.”

“However, that buddy loves joking around with people. He was simply kidding about the helicopter and the project.”

“Nonetheless, the gold and jewelry are all real.”

“Thank you, Ben. Thank you so much…”

The crowd was taken aback.

It would be fine if the helicopter and project were simply mere jokes.

Joshua extended an arm to shake Ben’s hand.

Yet, Ben glared at him with contempt. “Who are you? I don’t know you.

“Also, I’m not joking. I’m giving the helicopter and project away for free. If you continue with your nonsense, I’ll sue you for libel.”

Joshua was instantly petrified. What an awkward situation to be in!

He isn’t here for me?

In that case, who had such guts to invite Mr. Williams over?

Zeke smiled as he held onto Sofia, who continued to backtrack. “Are you happy, Ms. Sofia?”

“Umm… Did you arrange for Ben to send the dowry over?” Sofia asked.

“Not just Ben,” Zeke answered. “These doctors and those fireworks… I’d arranged them all.”

Sofia gazed up at Zeke, as her eyes brimmed with tears. “Zeke… I… I need a moment.”

Zeke caressed Sofia’s head and pulled her into his arms. “Okay.”

Then, Ben walked over to Zeke and bowed before saying, “The Williams family is now hanging on the verge of collapse, Master Zeke. Only you have the power and fortune to get the Williams family through this ordeal. Even a mere slight contribution of your resources will do. Please return, Master Zeke. The Williams family can’t do this without you.”

Zeke began to grow impatient, “You should go back, Uncle Williams. You’re scaring Sofia.”

Ben smiled wryly.

The young man was as hateful as usual.

If anyone treated him kindly, he would return the favor tenfold.

Sadly, he would never forgive those who had crossed him.

Kyle Callum and the Williams family of Atheville were perfect examples.

Kyle’s family had saved Zeke once, and the latter had now treated his household members like gold.

Meanwhile, the Williams family had once abandoned him, so he now refused to help them no matter how much they had pleaded with him.

Ben sighed, I would’ve treated him better if I’d known.

Not for the Williams family, but for my own sake.

Ben excused himself and left.

Zeke had already politely told him to leave, so there was no point continuing with his pleading; in fact, doing so may only put Zeke off even more.

If that were to happen, it would be even harder to meet him again.

I’m the only bridge between Zeke and the Williams family now. I can’t let him cut me off as well.

The place fell back into silence after Ben’s departure.

Everyone gazed at Zeke fervently.

To think that he was the abandoned son of the Williams family! He once had to scrounge off others, for free meals!

Yet, he rose to power and fame by his own strength.Even the Williams family now had to beg for his help.

He was not a construction worker as Joshua had claimed, and he certainly was no boy toy either!

The villagers were overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Concurrently, they were filled with envy and deep regret.

They envied Kyle for having adopted such a brilliant young man. This family had to be the luckiest one in the world at this point.

Furthermore, they regretted not taking Zeke in as a part of their own family.

Kindness really is the greatest virtue!
