Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 54

Lacey could no longer keep her cool when she saw the legal title Jeremy had with him.

She knew her steel mill would be as good as gone soon.

Lacey took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. “U-Uncle... T-That's too much!”

“I'll go tell grandpa what's going on immediately!”

Jeremy sneered once again. “You don't have to waste your time anymore.”

“I couldn't have gotten my hands on the legal title if your grandpa was against the idea, right?”

“I mean, he was the one who suggested that I take over your steel mill.”

What?

Lacey's pupils constricted all of a sudden. Her lips were trembling as she tried to catch her breath.

In order to fulfil Uncle Jeremy's greed, grandpa had actually decided to make a move against me?

He's trying to take away something I've poured all my blood, sweat, and tears into for half of my life!

He must be biased! He must have lost his mind to be biased to such an extent!

Lacey could no longer hold back her tears of wrath. “Y-You guys are so cruel! How could you guys do

that to me!”

“Not even a stranger would have done such a thing!”

Suddenly, Jeremy lost his composure. “You damned brat! Is that how you're supposed to talk to your

uncle?”

“Do you want me to punish you based on our family rules?”

“Get out of my sight immediately! I want you to be responsible if the operation of the steel mill is

affected because of you!” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Lacey clenched her teeth and made up her mind.

“I shall dismantle everything! I will dismantle this steel mill if that is what it takes to prevent you guys

from achieving your goals!”

Lily smiled contemptuously, “Dismantle it? Who do you think you are to have the rights to dismantle this

steel mill?”

“This steel mill is built on our plot of land. You don't even have the rights to be here, let alone

dismantling it.”

“This is the legal title for the ten-hectare plot of land. Take this with you and get out of our sight, or you'll

be leaving with nothing at all.”

Lacey felt despair all of a sudden.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Zeke, who had remained silent all along, clapped his hand all of a sudden.

“Marvellous! What a splendid job from the Hinton family! You guys have actually managed to redefine

what betrayal means.”

“Lacey, let's go. Don't worry! It belongs to you, and only you. They won't be able to take it away from

you!”

Lacey, whose eyes brimmed with tears, replied, “But... They have the legal title with them...”

Zeke assured Lacey, “Don't worry. It's just a piece of paper. I'll get them to get on their knees to beg

you to take over the steel mill tomorrow.”

Lily chuckled when she heard Zeke's words, “On our knees? You? Why don't you go and look at

yourself in the mirror? Who exactly do you think you are?”

Zeke cast a stern gaze at Lily and drew a circle on the ground using his leg. “You guys will have to

kneel here for a day if you want us to take over the steel mill again! Lacey, let's go!”

Zeke brought Lacey away with him.

Lily spat on the ground after they left. “Who gave you the audacity to make such a statement?”

Jeremy's cheeks flushed as he could barely hold back his excitement. “Lily, do you know why I insisted

on taking over this steel mill?”

Lily asked curiously, “Why?”

Jeremy finally told her the reason behind his action, “That's because I will soon secure a deal worth a

billion for steels.”

“What? A billion?” Lily was utterly shocked.

Jeremy reached for his phone with his trembling hands and called Emily. “Emily, I've gotten my hands

on the steel mill. What about the order worth a billion?”

...

Lacey wept as they made their way home.

It's too late! Everything's gone!

My efforts, my dreams, my ambition! It's all gone!

Zeke was heartbroken because of what Lacey had to go through.

However, he remained silent instead of comforting her because he knew Lacey wouldn't believe his

words even if he told her his plan.

He decided to walk the talk and show Lacey what he was capable of.

Zeke was determined to finish the Hinton family off.

He parked the car right after they reached home and tapped on Lacey's shoulder. “Lacey, go ahead

and wait for me upstairs. I'll join you after I make a call.”

Lacey nodded obediently and headed upstairs.

Zeke reached for his phone and made a call, “Evan, Lacey's steel mill has been taken over by

someone through illegitimate means.”

“I want you to trick Jeremy Hinton and get them on their knees to beg for Lacey's forgiveness.”
