Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 15

Hannah was terrified and began to beg Madeleine. “Wait, Madeleine... It was all a misunderstanding.”

Zeke, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke. “You guys are just there as mere servants. What's there to be proud of?”

Upon hearing that, the neighbors scolded Zeke to gain the Clemons' favor.

“Zeke, are you jealous that we got an invitation, and you didn't?” Emily snorted. “Well, whatever. I still have to thank you for dumping me. Oh, don't worry about missing out. I'll make sure to take some pictures for you to see.”

“No, we’ll be the ones taking pictures of you working as servants.” Zeke smiled.

“Yeah, right. A mere peasant like you at the ceremony? Dream on!” Emily scolded.

“Lacey, come on.” Zeke ignored Emily's remark and turned to Lacey.

The Hinton family quickly ran from the scene.

“Zeke, can't you just keep your mouth shut?” Hannah scolded once they were far away from the crowd. “We can't provoke the Clemons any further. Do you want to see my whole family perish?”

“Don't worry. We shouldn't be afraid of those mere servants,” Zeke asserted before he walked towards the line of black cars. “Come on. We shouldn't keep them waiting too long.”

“Enough with your jokes! They will shoot us on sight if we get close to them!” Hannah snapped at Zeke.

“Honey, why don't we head to the plaza outside the hall? We should be able to get a good spot if we leave now,” Daniel suggested.

“Right. Let's go,” Hannah nodded.

With that, the Hinton family quickly got into their own car.

Zeke stood still with no idea what to do.

Without having much of a choice left, Zeke called Lone Wolf. “I'll head there on my own. You guys head back first.”

“Yes, Sir!” Lone Wolf replied.

On the other hand, Emily was walking towards one of the most luxurious cars with the neighbors following behind as if they were escorting royalty.

Yet, before Emily could even get close to the car, the line of vehicles left.

Emily's face reddened as she waved at the cars to signal them to stop.

Not one of the cars stopped.

It was an awkward scene.

“S**t! That useless Zeke wasted our time!” Madeleine cursed. “They told us to get ready by 9, and it's already 9:10. Come on, Emily, we have to head there on our own now.”

“Right. Let's go,” Emily nodded.

Madeleine's explanation made the neighbors believe that there was indeed a time limit.

“Right! You guys should hurry up!” One of the neighbors cried out, “Remember to take some photos to shut the Hintons up!”

Lacey and her family sped through the traffic and arrived at their destination in an hour.

They stopped in front of the hall where the ceremony was being held.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As soon as they got out of the car, four men in suits surrounded them.

One of the men that looked like their leader walked up to the Hintons and offered them three tickets.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hinton. Here are your tickets.”

What?

The Hinton family could not believe their ears.

This person is giving us tickets to the ceremony.

They turned their eyes to Zeke and asked, “You were serious about the whole thing?”
