Chapter 345

Nancy was annoyed. “Why are you such a busybody? We’re just going to the bathroom!”

Zeke gave her an approving look.

At that moment, it was like he had forgiven her for all the wrongful accusations just because of her protective

streak towards Lacey.

“I’m not stopping you from going to the bathroom, but I need to make sure that you won’t sneak off halfway. How

about I get two of my men to follow you?” Michael asked.

Nancy knew that her plans were foiled, so she had no choice but to sit back down with a huff. “Fine! We’re not

going.”

Lacey sat down as well.

Zeke patted her shoulder gently to comfort her. “Lacey, you’re going to become the head of the Hinton family

soon. Aren’t you excited?”

But before Lacey could say a word, Nancy spat at him, “Shut up!”

“Not only did you make us lose Linton Group, but you’re also the worst liar in the whole world!”

Zeke was left speechless.

The sliver of respect for Nancy that he gained just a moment ago vanished into thin air.

Soon, the butler arrived at the private room, huffing and puffing from running all the way to the hotel.

“Say it. Is it real or fake?” Aaron asked right off the bat.

The butler swallowed and stammered, “Mr. Hinton, when I went to the Whiteridge authorities just now, they

confirmed that the contract... the contract is...”

“Spit it out!” Aaron bellowed, his patience wearing thin.

The butler bit his lip and said, “The ownership of the contract has been changed.”

“The contract is real.”

What?

That was the last thing that the Hintons had expected. They raised their heads in shock as they trained their eyes

on Zeke.

The contract had been real!

That would mean that the project did belong to Zeke!

How is that even possible?

Isn’t he just a beggar that leeches off his wife’s riches? How in the world did he secure such a project?

Amongst the Hintons, Nancy received the greatest shock of them all.

After all, she hated Zeke right from the beginning.

However, he had accomplished something she would not even dream of doing.

Is this a dream? she thought.

Michael slammed his fist against the table and stood up. “You’d better be responsible for your own words!”

“Are you sure that the contract is real? Did you make a mistake?”

The butler sighed. “I wish! I’ve confirmed the results several times with the authorities, and there’s nothing wrong

with it.”

Michael slumped back onto his chair, looking utterly defeated.

The impossible had become a reality.

Aaron tried his best to remain calm despite the waves of terror coursing through his veins. “Looks like I’ve

underestimated you, Zeke.”

“In any case, you’re welcome to work together with the Hinton family on this project.”

“Oh, that’s not something you can decide,” Zeke retorted.

“What do you mean?” Aaron demanded.

“Have you forgotten our bet already? You’ll have to give up your position as the head of the family to my wife if you

lost it,” Zeke explained.

“Lacey, do you like the Riverdale Hintons?”

At that moment, Lacey’s hands were clammy with sweat.

She would have answered ‘yes’ without thinking since they had almost unlimited funds in their bank accounts.

However, there was no way Aaron would honor the bet and give his position to her.

It was almost as impossible as seeing the sun rose from the west.

However, Aaron cut her off before she could give her answer. “Hmph! It’s just a childish bet! We don’t have to

honor it!”

“Really? A childish bet, you say? What if you won it? Would you have said that it’s a childish bet?” Zeke asked,

grinning.

Instantly, Aaron turned red from anger.

Zeke was right - he would definitely have honored the bet if he had been the winner.
