“It’s true that if my wife didn’t show up that day, I would’ve taught you a lesson, but you almost died protecting my
wife. That deserves a reward, so I will ignore the previous incident. Just continue keeping my wife safe,” informed
Levi.
It’d save Levi a lot of trouble if someone as capable as Sylas was protecting Zoey.
“Understood. I promise I will protect Zoey with all I’ve got.”
Sylas had already retired from the battlefield, but she still had the heart of a warrior.
From that moment on, she vowed to protect Zoey with her entire being.
After Sylas returned, Zoey asked, “How is it? Did you find out who he is?”
Sylas shook her head and replied, “I was discovered as soon as I left, Ms. Lopez, so let’s not talk about it anymore.
Still, you should know that the person protecting you has to be someone who cares deeply about you.”
The first person that Zoey thought of was Levi, but she quickly dismissed that idea because the man seemed too
powerful to be Levi.
South City turned quiet after Jacky met his demise.
However, those in the inner circle understood that the silence was just the calm before the storm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA bloodbath was on the horizon.
The Black family knew nothing about that, of course. They simply thought that their troubles were over.
Meredith even pushed Zoey to go on blind dates.
The former had looked through a lot of profiles, but none caught her eyes.
“I feel like no one in Quebec is good enough for Zoey,” claimed Meredith proudly.
“Indeed. At first, I thought that it would be a piece of cake to find Zoey a suitor. Now that we’ve looked, I see that
there are none good enough for her, and if we aren’t satisfied with these men, there is no way that Zoey would be
interested in them either,” said Robert who looked troubled as he sighed.
Logan and Jennie entered the room at that moment.
“Grandma, grandpa, we looked into the matter like you asked and found the perfect candidate. He meets all of your
requirements, and I am certain that Zoey would love him too!” bragged Jennie.
“Tell us.”
Both Meredith and Robert were excited.
“The guy is incredible. He is of mixed-blood with the perfect genes, and he is a legitimate heir. His mother is royalty
from a foreign country,” shared Jennie.
“Huh? A mixed-blood? That’s perfect! They’re tall and handsome, and have good genes,” said the Blacks, who were
satisfied so far.
That was a time when mixed-bloods were popular.
“What’s his family like?” asked Meredith.
“Oh, his family is ridiculously powerful. His grandpa is the major shareholder at the place I work in, New Alliance
Bank. In other words, his grandpa is the renowned Kurt Gates of South Hampton.”
“What? Kurt Gates?”
Both Meredith and Robert were stunned.
Kurt was a reputable and respectable man in South Hampton and the president of the South Hampton Chamber of
Commerce.
The fact that South Hampton was the economic district of Erudia would mean that the president of the Chamber of
Commerce in that district had to be extremely powerful.
The man was probably so powerful that even an overview of his power would scare most to death.
He was one of the leading men in South Hampton’s economic circles, and his wealth was comparable to that of a
country.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe managed over a hundred private banks and had a great reputation in South Hampton.
He also had countless disciples and was regarded as a God among men.
In fact, he was like a mythical dragon roaming in the sky.
His grandson has got to be perfect as well.
“It was a coincidence, but his grandson, Landyn, came to New Alliance Bank to participate in an event, and I
bumped into him,” informed Jennie as she grinned.
“But would he agree to the marriage? Zoey’s net worth is fifty billion, but that is not a lot.”
The Blacks’ worries had shifted. Now, they felt like they weren’t good enough for him.
Jennie chuckled and replied, “You guys probably don’t know about this, but Landyn was Zoey’s senior when she
studied overseas. He was the one who came to me, and he was delighted when he heard that Zoey got a divorce. I
think he will definitely agree to a wedding. Moreover, I heard that Landyn tried to court Zoey back in the days…”
“That is great news!”
The Blacks were all excited and happy to hear it.
They could finally merge with a powerful family!
