Chapter 719


    In Mr. Quin’s opinion, Zeke Williams was not someone worth considering an enemy. He was just


    someone who could be eliminated anytime by any of his subordinates.


    Draco nodded reluctantly.


    He could not shake the feeling that Mr. Quin was making a mistake, that he had underestimated Zeke


    Williams’ ability.

    After resolving Franklin’s incident, the Linton Group and Grand Empire Group’s partnership finally


    began to gain traction.


    Zeke, on the other hand, decided to head back to Linton Group.


    Ever since he and Lacey became a couple a year ago, they had not been apart for such a long time.


    He did not like it at all.


    On the way back, he received a call from Lacey. “Zeke, how did things go with the Grand Empire Group


    partnership?”


    Zeke grinned. “You don’t have to worry about anything. After all, it was me, your husband, who was on


    the case.”


    “I’ve already handled everything. The coborative projects havemenced.”


    He did not tell her that about what he had aplished back at the Grand Empire Group over the


    phone.


    He wanted to tell her that face to face. Only then would he be able to see the look of pure joy on her


    face.


    It would be a good chance to request a pay raise as well.


    However, Lacey was not as interested as Zeke had imagined she would be. “Hmm, that’s good.”


    Zeke frowned and he asked, “Lacey, what’s wrong? You don’t sound very happy.”


    “Ugh,” she sighed, “When it rains, it pours.”


    “I’ve been tearing my hair out over our spokespersontely.”


    “Oh?” Zeke asked, “What spokesperson?”


    “Now that Linton Group has been listed,” Lacey exined, “Our top priority is to raise consumer


    awareness on our brand and increase the publicity to attract investors to buy our shares.”


    “Getting a popr celebrity to be our spokesperson would be the best way to do so.”


    “Hmm, so there’s a problem on that end?” Zeke asked.


    Nodding her head, Lacey replied, “Yep. In fact, there’s a huge problem.”


    “You know Mrs. Jones, the neighbor living opposite us? Well, her son, Henry Jones, majored in acting


    and hended a role in a really popr movie right after he had graduated. And he subsequently rose


    to stardom with that movie to be an A-list actor.”


    She continued, “A few days ago, he came back for a visit and I bumped into him. Since we were quite


    close when we were kids, I brought up the fact that we were looking for a spokesperson and he agreed


    to help out. We even signed the contract on the spot. I certainly hadn’t expected him to be so


    arrogant. Not only was he really obnoxious on set, but he also even caused a scene and identally


    cut his finger. He then demanded that wepensate him a million for his medical expenses. Of


    course, I refused to pay him anypensation. Afterward, he took things even further by disappearing


    with the deposit.”


    Zeke frowned after hearing that and said, “Henry Jones? I think he’s an artiste under Grand Empire


    Group.”


    “That’s right,” Lacey replied, “I had nned on forging a stronger rtionship with Grand Empire Group


    through this partnership with Henry.”


    “But it looks like that’s not going to happen.”


    “Isn’t the solution really simple?” Zeke said, “We can just terminate the contract and look for another


    spokesperson.”


    “It isn’t as simple as that,” Lacey exined, “Breaching a contract involves a really hefty penalty.


    Furthermore, finding an A-list celebrity isn’t that easy.”


    “Alright, you needn’t worry yourself about the termination of the contract,” Zeke said, “I’ll take care of it.”


    “And what do you think of having Mia Young as our spokesperson?”


    Now that he was the boss of Grand Empire Group, Henry Jones worked for him. All he had to do was


    put in a few words and Henry would terminate the contract willingly.


    “Well, Young was actually my first choice,” Lacey replied, “s, there’s no way we would be able to get


    her to be our spokesperson. We don’t even have any means to get in touch with her...”


    “Forget it, why am I telling you all this? You don’t know anybody in the film industry anyway.”


    “I’ve got something I need to attend to, so I’ll hang up first. Bye,” Lacey said and promptly ended the


    call.


    On the other hand, Zeke floored the elerator and picked up the speed.


    Damn you, Henry Jones! How dare you bully my wife?


    Moreover, the very fact that Henry Jones had signed a contract with someone else without informing


    Grand Empire Group was considered a breach of contract.


    You wanted my wife to pay the fine, didn’t you? Good, I’m going to make you cough up everyst


    penny you have.
