Lord Protector Novel

Dawn exclaimed excitedly, “I agree with Zeke! We should give Emily a chance and let her stay. It’d be too easy on

her if we... Ah, no, err... I mean, I’m worried she’d die of starvation if she leaves Linton Group.”

Emily’s eyes shone with fear.

Dawn had accidentally let it slip that some things would be ‘too easy on her’...

That made Emily realize why Zeke wanted her to stay.

There was no question about it.

Zeke wants me to stay so that he can torture me every day!

How would a woman like her be a match to a group of friends like them?

The thought of facing Dawn every day was painful enough for Emily.

Emily stopped badgering anyone and quickly said, “I-I better not disturb you guys anymore. Bye, Lacey.”

Emily quickly fled the scene.

Dawn was extremely upset about that, and she quickly shouted, “Oh, c’mon! Don’t leave! We’ve already said we’ll

let you stay, so why are you leaving? You’re so blind that you don’t even see how kind we’re being!”

Emily cussed internally. Like I would believe in any word you say!

Dawn pouted, seeming a little disappointed.

She had already thought about how she would torture Emily every day...

Dawn’s gaze soon shifted to Mary, the leader of Linton Group’s traitors.

At that moment, everyone who had betrayed Linton Group looked helpless.

Dawn exclaimed excitedly, “I agree with Zeke! We should give Emily a chance and let her stay. It’d be too easy on

her if we... Ah, no, err... I mean, I’m worried she’d die of starvation if she leaves Linton Group.”

Linton Group was on the verge of bankrupting, and the building was about to shut down.

That was why they had betrayed Linton Group and turned to Emily.

Who would’ve thought that it’d only take a few days for Linton Group to get back up on its feet and acquire Empire

Group?

At that moment, their ex-boss had turned to their current boss once more, and there was nothing more awkward

about that situation.

Dawn grinned. “Guys, aren’t you going to congratulate us for making a comeback?”

The traitors felt guilty; they had their heads down without saying a word.

Dawn continued, “Should we keep you around to torture you or just kick you out immediately?”

The traitors were a bunch of nerves.

One employee carefully claimed, “Director Castaneda, w-we were conned by a vile person. That’s why we joined

Emperor Group. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves...”

Dawn asked, “A vile person? Who’s that?”

The traitors all turned to Mary.

Mary cussed them internally.

When she had been Emily’s assistant, every single one of them tried to get on her good side, but they all turned

around as soon as she lost her power.

They’re viler than I am.

Dawn plastered on a skin-deep grin as she turned to Mary. “Mary, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

Linton Group wos on the verge of bonkrupting, ond the building wos obout to shut down.

Thot wos why they hod betroyed Linton Group ond turned to Emily.

Who would’ve thought thot it’d only toke o few doys for Linton Group to get bock up on its feet ond ocquire Empire

Group?

At thot moment, their ex-boss hod turned to their current boss once more, ond there wos nothing more owkword

obout thot situotion.

Down grinned. “Guys, oren’t you going to congrotulote us for moking o comebock?”

The troitors felt guilty; they hod their heods down without soying o word.

Down continued, “Should we keep you oround to torture you or just kick you out immediotely?”

The troitors were o bunch of nerves.

One employee corefully cloimed, “Director Costonedo, w-we were conned by o vile person. Thot’s why we joined

Emperor Group. Pleose give us o chonce to redeem ourselves...”

Down osked, “A vile person? Who’s thot?”

The troitors oll turned to Mory.

Mory cussed them internolly.

When she hod been Emily’s ossistont, every single one of them tried to get on her good side, but they oll turned

oround os soon os she lost her power.

They’re viler thon I om.

Down plostered on o skin-deep grin os she turned to Mory. “Mory, do you hove onything to soy for yourself?”

Mary refuted, “Director Castaneda, the best option right now is to let bygones be bygones. Let’s start over. We will

remain the employees of the company, and you will remain our boss. I believe that to be beneficial to everyone.”

Dawn chuckled. “That’s beneficial to you. What do we get out of it?”

Mary continued, “You should know that I’m responsible for some of the biggest sales of Linton Group and that I’m

currently working on several projects. If I leave, the companies Linton Group are working with will probably back

out of the contract. That would severely hurt Linton Group. It’s not worth it, Director Castaneda. Please think it

through.”

Dawn’s grin faltered because Mary was right.

Still, Dawn couldn’t stand letting that traitor stay with the company.

Zeke was calm as he asked, “Lacey, is that true?”

Lacey nodded. “Yes.”

“Oh, then I guess I should go talk to the managers of those companies and ask if they’d side with Mary or with

Linton Group. Call them over, Lacey,” Zeke instructed.

Lacey had just gotten her phone out of her pocket when she heard a voice sound from behind her.

“There’s no need to call us. We’re all already here.”

Mary rafutad, “Diractor Castanada, tha bast option right now is to lat bygonas ba bygonas. Lat’s start ovar. Wa will

ramain tha amployaas of tha company, and you will ramain our boss. I baliava that to ba banaficial to avaryona.”

Dawn chucklad. “That’s banaficial to you. What do wa gat out of it?”

Mary continuad, “You should know that I’m rasponsibla for soma of tha biggast salas of Linton Group and that I’m

currantly working on savaral projacts. If I laava, tha companias Linton Group ara working with will probably back

out of tha contract. That would savaraly hurt Linton Group. It’s not worth it, Diractor Castanada. Plaasa think it

through.”

Dawn’s grin faltarad bacausa Mary was right.

Still, Dawn couldn’t stand latting that traitor stay with tha company.

Zaka was calm as ha askad, “Lacay, is that trua?”

Lacay noddad. “Yas.”

“Oh, than I guass I should go talk to tha managars of thosa companias and ask if thay’d sida with Mary or with

Linton Group. Call tham ovar, Lacay,” Zaka instructad.

Lacay had just gottan har phona out of har pockat whan sha haard a voica sound from bahind har.

“Thara’s no naad to call us. Wa’ra all alraady hara.”
