Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 587

He was completely done for. All he could do right now was try his luck and take Susan hostage in order to try to escape.

He was extremely quick on his feet. By the time Susan had come to her senses, the dagger was already right before her eye. It had come so close that it brushed against her eyelashes.

“No!”

Susan couldn’t dodge it. All she could do was scream and close her eyes instinctively.

However, she didn’t feel the slightest pain. She merely felt a breeze flitting gently across her face.

When she opened her eyes suspiciously, she realized that Zeke Williams had caught the dagger in a death grip with his very own hands.

Harvey was shocked.

Damn. This guy is faster than I thought.

Harvey pulled his hand back, trying to snatch the dagger out of Zeke’s hand.

However, that failed greatly as Zeke’s hand was stronger than iron and the dagger remained in place.

Blood was already seeping from in between his fingers.

Crap.

Harvey knew he was dead meat.

Zeke kicked Harvey hard enough to make him collapse on the ground, unable to get up again.

Jeffrey Middleton was furious.

How dare that man both fail to repent his mistakes and try to kill someone on top of it? Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He stepped up and started releasing his anger by beating and kicking Harvey Hoffman.

In the end, Harvey was knocked out by the mayor’s own punches, as no one dared to restrain Jeffrey Middleton.

In fact, Harvey was the last person anyone wanted to go near right now.

Susan held Zeke’s hands in her own. Tears started flowing down her face at the sight of the fresh injuries on his palms.

“Why, you a**hole? Zeke Williams, you idiot! Why would you do such a thing?”

Why are you being so nice to me? You saved me not once, not twice, but three times now. You even bled for me! You know very well I’m already in love with you. Are you trying to make it even harder for me to leave? Where can I go from here? What can I do from now on?

Zeke was simply taken aback.

I just saved your life, woman. What are you yelling at me for?

Susan tore off a section of her shirt and used it as a bandage for Zeke’s palm.

Zeke was barely affected. To him, this was but a small scratch. “Susan, it’s okay. I’m fine. I don’t need a bandage-”

Susan just called out, “Stop moving! You’re making me more worried for you.”

Zeke fell silent.

Is she starting to act like my stepmother now?

Father-in-law has really thrown me under the bus.

At that moment, the police arrived.

Wilson Wood and the others started panicking.

At this moment, their future was on the line. Only Jeffrey Middleton had the ability to decide on their fate.

Jeffrey Middleton glared at Wilson Wood. “As Harvey Hoffman’s boss, you’re responsible for his actions as well. I’m taking you back to be investigated. The rest of you, don’t think I’ve forgotten that you all readily backed Harvey Hoffman and Wilson Wood’s false claims. None of you deserve the positions you have. You will all be following me to be investigated. If I find out that you were all involved in this drug business, you’re all done for. Also, the fact that the drug business has seemingly been going on

for a while means that the previous owner of Reagan Pharmaceuticals has to have been involved. He’s now a criminal, so issue a warrant and have him arrested ASAP!”

Wilson Wood and the others were taken away by the police.

Before that, however, Wilson secretly passed a business card to Harry Simpson.

His life and future career depended solely on this business card.

Harry Simpson was no amateur, either. He quickly popped the business card into his mouth.

If anyone noticed, he would swallow it immediately. However, it was best if he didn’t get noticed, of course. He would call the number on the card for help.

After everything was done, Jeffrey Middleton finally glanced at Zeke apologetically. “Mr. Williams, I’m very sorry. It was my fault for not leading my team properly. I’m sorry for causing all this trouble for you. Just relax. I’ll conduct all the necessary investigations and settle this once and for all. I’ll also reflect on myself and be more efficient in the future.”
