Emily sighed and said in a serious tone, “Lacey, you don’t have to defend Zeke anymore. The only reason that
anima, Zeke, wants to be with you is all because of excitement. Once he’s tired of playing with you, he’s going to
dump you too. Treat this as a wake-up call. Don’t wait until it’s too late or you’ll end up like me.”
Angry tears fell as Lacey said, “Shut up! Don’t you dare insult Zeke!”
At the same time, a worker shouted, “Mr. Hoffman, we tested and found meth in these bottles.”
Harvey raged, “Hmmph! As expected, You’ve been taking drugs in here. Bring them all back for further
investigation! Emily Clemons, follow us back too. If what you said is true, I will not hold you responsible for this and
I’ll even give you justice.”
Emily was overjoyed, “Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarvey Hoffman’s men immediately went to arrest Lacey.
Lacey backed away in fear. “You... You’re all obviously working together with Emily! I won’t go. I want to call my
lawyer. Before my lawyer arrives, I won’t go with anyone.”
Harvey raged, “Shut up! You’re slandering. I will sue you for defamation. If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have to adopt
forceful measures.”
With that, Harvey pulled out handcuffs and a stun baton as he prepared to take Lacey forcefully.
Lacey was in despair. She had a feeling that she wouldn’t receive any response even if she screamed for help.
At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind. Zeke Williams, where on earth are you?
While Lacey was at a loss, an angry roar came from outside the door, “Stop it, all of you!”
Everyone looked over in that direction.
It was Zeke Williams.
Zeke barreled his way through the crowd and squeezed into the room.
Tears streamed down Lacey’s cheeks at the sight of Zeke.
Lacey launched herself into Zeke’s arms and sobbed, “Zeke, you’re finally here! I- I made a mistake. I should’ve
listened to you! I shouldn’t have trusted Emily. I’m sorry.”
Zeke’s heart ached as he patted Lacey’s head. “It’s alright, Lacey. Just treat this as a lesson. Don’t worry. No one
will bully you now that I’m here.”
Lacey nodded as she stayed in Zeke’s embrace. She didn’t want to leave him.
Logan Hugh was extremely happy at the appearance of Zeke.
When Logan realized that Zeke wasn’t there earlier, he thought that the latter had got wind of this inspection and

Logan felt that he wouldn’t have a sense of accomplishment if he only caught Lacey.
So, now that Zeke was here, he was obviously excited.
“Mr. Hoffman, this is Zeke Williams. He’s a monster and isn’t easy to deal with. You must be careful,” Logan said.
Harvey sneered, “A monster? Even if he’s one, he’d still have to bow down to me. You have the looks of a human
being, yet you do such beastly things. Somebody, arrest him as well.”
Zeke smiled coldly, “Both of you have quite the authority, don’t you? You haven’t even gotten your facts right, yet
you’re here to arrest us. To make things worse, you have even called in the media and reporters. Is this live
coverage? Aren’t you afraid that there might be injustice and you end up reporting fake news?”
“We have solid evidence. It’s a fact that both you and Lacey have been taking drugs. How can it be fake news
then?”
Zeke suddenly sighed in disappointment. “Logan, you’re a staff officer of the Military District. But why don’t you
know anything about etiquette? Is this how you’re supposed to talk to your ‘master’?”
He’s hinting about the time I called him ‘grandpa’!
