Chapter 321

Why is the official stamp in Zeke’s hands?

Is he the one who won the project?

Seriously? He lived off his wife. How can he be so capable as to handle such a huge project?

That can only be one explanation.

Zeke had forged the official stamp! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

As that thought occurred to Nancy, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up furiously. “Zeke Williams, that’s enough.”

“I know you’re jealous of my ability and that I’d won the Whiteridge project. But you can’t act this way.”

“Do you know how many nights I stayed up in order to draw up this contract?”

“You’re useless and narrow-minded. I don’t know why Lacey fell for you.”

Lacey sounded annoyed, too. “Zeke Williams, you know how important this contract is to Nancy. How could you do that? Hurry, apologize to her.”

“Nancy, don’t worry. I’ll help you draw up another contract.”

It was obvious that she thought that Zeke had forged that stamp, too.

They had just gained a foothold in Oakheart City, so Zeke’s influence would not have extended beyond Oakheart City, all the way to the Riverdale District.

She did not know that Zeke had already taken down the underworld forces of Riverdale District.

Zeke could not believe it.

So you think your husband isn’t capable at all?

Looks like I didn’t show you the extent of my strength.

“Forget it. I’ll draw up another contract myself. Don’t worry,” Nancy declared.

“If you want to apologize to me, break up with Zeke. I’ll leave now, so take your time to think over it.”

Nancy glared at Zeke before she left in a huff.

Zeke kept the contract carefully and told Lacey, “Keep the contract and give it back to her another day.”

Lacey sighed. “Since you stamped a forged stamp, the contract is obsolete. Why do I need to keep it?”

That was what she said, but she kept the contract carefully, anyway. What if Nancy needs it to draw up another contract?

Zeke explained, “Lacey, this is the official stamp...”

“Ha!” Lacey snickered.

Zeke was speechless.

Forget it. She won’t believe me now. I’ll bring her to the headquarters one day to prove my innocence.

“Lacey, I never knew you had a cousin.”

Lacey replied, “Well, it’s a long story.”

“Do you remember my dad once told you the Hinton family used to be an influential family?”

Zeke nodded. “Yes, I do.”

Back then, Daniel told him that his mother was Adam’s second wife. Zeke was confused as to why he could marry two wives.

Daniel explained that the Hinton family used to be an influential and prominent family and that his father had married two wives as he was rich.

Zeke suspected that there was a story behind this.

It seemed like he was right.

Lacey explained, “Actually, the Hinton family in Oakheart City is just a branch of the Hinton family in

Riverdale District.”

“The Hinton family is one of the four prominent families in Riverdale.”

“My great-grandfather built up the Hinton family’s reputation in Riverdale District himself. He has two sons, my grandpa Adam, and my grand-uncle, Aaron.”

“Nancy is my grand-uncle Aaron’s granddaughter.”

“After my great-grandfather died, his sons fought to win his inheritance.”

“However, my grandpa lost in the inheritance fight and fled to Oakheart City. Meanwhile, Grandpa Aaron got to be the family patriarch in Riverdale District.”
