Since the existence of Ares and the Thisleton family was a threat to both Zeke and Eurasia, Zeke decided that he
would eliminate Ares if he could find him.
He asked the Demon, “You’re doing all this to protect Lacey?”
The Demon replied, “Of course.”
Zeke continued, “Then I shall spare your life. As for Ares, I will eliminate him myself, but I need your help.”
The Demon hurriedly replied, “I will do anything to help Ms. Hinton.”
Zeke ordered, “Keep an eye on the Thisletons. Why would they choose to show themselves now when they have
stayed hidden for the past decade? They must be targeting Lacey. If any of the Thisletons show up, let me know
immediately.”
“Yes, Sir!” The Demon promised and left.
Zeke took out a cigarette and lit it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis situation is getting out of hand with Ares’ involvement. My identity as the Great Marshal may not remain hidden
for long.
I should marry Lacey sooner. Even if she’s dissatisfied with my identity as the Great Marshal, she can’t do anything
about it once we have held the wedding.
Meanwhile, at Williams Manor in Atheville, Lucille Williams had been keeping tabs on Zeke all this time.
After Francis Sullivan poisoned and crippled Zeke, she was able to kick him out of the family and replace him as the
head of the household.
She thought that the Sullivans would have killed Zeke by now, but contrary to her expectations, he was still alive.
Unless the Sullivans find it unnecessary to kill a crippled man who hardly poses as a threat?
That must be it.
“Even if the Sullivans spared him, I can’t do the same. I will never forgive him for the shame he brought upon our
family! I’m going to give him a taste of his own medicine!”
Right then, Joshua Williams, the grandson of Lucille Williams, barged into the room.
When Zach Williams was still alive, Lucille doted on him the most. Now that Zach was dead, Joshua became her
favorite grandson.
“Grandma, breaking news! Breaking news!” Joshua was panting for breath.
She asked out of curiosity, “What breaking news are you talking about, Joshua? Is Zeke dead?”
Joshua shook his head. “No. It’s something even more shocking than that. You know about the Thisletons, right?”
Lucille nodded. “Of course. The head of the Thisletons is Ares.”
Joshua continued, “That’s right. Have you heard of the long-lost direct descendant of the Thisletons? The girl went
missing twenty years ago and has yet to be found.”
Lucille eyed Joshua suspiciously. “I know. Why are you telling me all this, Joshua?”
Joshua piped up, “Grandma, there have been rumors that Zeke’s fiancée, Lacey Hinton, is the missing heiress of the
Thisleton family!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat?
Lucille sprang up from her seat as she could not believe her ears.
Zeke Williams’ fiancée, Lacey Hinton, might be the descendant of the Thisleton family and the daughter of Ares!
It was indeed shocking news.
Lucille came back to her senses after being stupefied momentarily. Letting out a sigh, she said worriedly, “If Lacey
Hinton finds her place among the Thisletons, she can easily use her family’s power to take revenge on us. If that
happens, we...”
Joshua trembled at that thought.
Grandma’s right. The Thisletons could make our family perish with a snap of the fingers.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead anxiously. “If that Lacey Hinton marries any other person from our family, we
will be able to climb up the social ladder. Why does she have to marry a disowned descendant of the Williams
family instead?”
Lucille’s eyes lit up as she thought of something.
“Haha! You’re right, Joshua! Let’s do as you say.”
