Bound to the Lord Protector

Chapter 118 Do Not Bother Explaining Yourself

Before Adam could figure out the rationale behind their action, the senior citizen had already departed after they presented them with the various wedding gifts. The senior citizen reached for his phone and made a call the moment they left Oakheart City. “Mrs. Williams, we've already presented them with the gifts.” An ostentatious voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call as she asked, “My son didn't reject the gifts, did he?” The senior citizen replied, “Mr. Williams Jr. wasn't around when we visited. We were worried he would reject the gifts. Hence, we had departed immediately once we handed them over.” The woman replied, “Good! That's great! Sigh... I hope my son will understand where I'm coming from.” Meanwhile, Adam and Jeremy's eyes had brimmed with tears as they could no longer hold back their excitement. After all, the bunch of gifts was worth almost two hundred million. It was something they could only long for in the past. It took those from the Hinton family a long time for them to regain their composure because they actually achieved a once unachievable dream. “Jeremy, to whom do you think these gifts from the Williams family from Atheville are to?” Jeremy tried to analyze the situation, “Dad, there are only three young ladies in our lineage. Lacey, Lily, and Linda. Lacey has already gotten married. Linda's still a minor, so Lily's the only one who fits the description.” Adam nodded and expressed his agreement, “Mm. You're right.” Jeremy could no longer hold back her excitement and expressed, “That must have been why Lily has been behaving oddly lately. She's in a relationship with someone from the Williams family from Atheville... Adam urged, “Jeremy, we shouldn't jump to the conclusion just yet. Hurry up and get Lily over.” Jeremy hurriedly replied, “Alright! I'll call her over immediately!” “Hmph! We're about to be affiliated with someone from the Williams family from Atheville. Oakheart City will soon become our domain! Does Daniel think he will be able to get ahead of us just because he's affiliated with those from the Schneider family? The Schneider family's nothing as compared to those from the Williams family!” Adam cried out in glee.... Meanwhile, Zeke received a call from someone from Atheville out of the blue. He had hung up the call countless times as his mind was all over the place. However, the person on the other end of the call called again and again. Zeke couldn't do anything about it. Hence, he headed over to an isolated corner to pick up the call. He heard a familiar yet estranged voice coming from the other end of the call as the woman asked, “Zeke, it's been a few years. How are you?” Zeke replied in a callous tone, “The Zeke you're looking for is no longer alive. He's been dead since the moment you decided to send him behind bars to take his twin brother's place. I'm not affiliated with the Williams family from Atheville anymore! I'm the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams!” Mrs. Williams heaved a heavy sigh over and over again, “Zeke, your father and I won't blame you for such thoughts because we know it must have been tough on your end over the years. We don't seek your pardon, but we have to tell you the truth.” “What kind of truth?” asked Zeke. Mrs. Williams replied, “Your grandmother was the one who instructed us to send you behind bars to take over your brother's place... We couldn't possibly defy her words because she was the representative of the family back then... “In fact, should we have gone against her words, you might be in great danger as well... You'll soon figure out what I'm talking about...” Zeke replied in a callous tone once again, “We can't possibly change what has been done unto me. You don't have to explain yourself anymore either. If there's nothing else, let's wrap up this session. Please don't get in touch with me anymore.” Mrs. William stopped him in a hurry. “Wait! Have you received the wedding gifts your father and I have sent you? We know it isn't enough to prove our sincerity, but we hope you know we mean everything we have said all along.” “If it's possible... Please return home... The Williams family need you...” Mrs. William hung up the call right after she finished her sentence. Zeke knitted his eyebrows because he couldn't figure out what Mrs. Williams had been talking about. Wedding gifts? What sort of wedding gifts? “Zeke, what are you doing on your own at such an isolated location?” Zeke had no idea when had Lacey snuck up behind him. Zeke put on a smile and replied, “It's nothing. Let's head out for lunch, Lacey!” Lacey replied with an awful expression on her face, “Mm... I'm not in the mood for lunch...” Zeke asked, “What's wrong? Who's the one who has offended you? I'll go deal with him immediately!”
