Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 1105

Joshua was puzzled. What did I say?

“What do you mean, Grandma?”

She replied, “Joshua, if Lacey Hinton marries you, you will be the son-in-law of the Thisletons. Then, we will have the

world at our feet!”

Joshua did not know whether to laugh or cry at his grandmother’s suggestion. “Grandma, everyone knows that

Zeke and Lacey love each other deeply. It’s impossible for me to snatch her away from Zeke!”

Lucille chuckled. “Don’t worry. I have a plan that will work certainly.”

Joshua frowned. “Grandma, even if we force Lacey to marry me, what if there’s no affection between us and she

takes revenge on us when she returns to the Thisletons?”

She snapped, “Affection can be cultivated over time. I believe you can make that happen. Furthermore, she won’t

be able to lay a finger on us once the two of you have a child together!”

Joshua was delighted with the plan. “Okay, Grandma! I’m willing to marry Lacey for the Williams family! I heard that

they haven’t slept together yet. This is wonderful!”

Joshua had lusted after Lacey for quite a while now, but he could not do anything because Lacey already had Zeke.

Finally, my opportunity is here!

Lucille ordered, “Prepare the betrothal gifts for Lacey at once! I shall deliver them to her myself.”

Intending to tamper with the betrothal gifts, she decided to visit Lacey when Zeke and his parents were out of the

house to prevent their plot from being discovered.

That day, whilst Lacey was busy working, a group of uninvited guests showed up with gifts suddenly.

It was none other than Lucille Williams and her family.

Lacey tensed up immediately as she knew that the Williams must have something up their sleeves.

Lacey asked indifferently, “What are all of you doing here?”

Lucille smiled warmly at her. “Hello, Lacey. Shall we discuss this over tea?”

Lacey was stunned for a moment as she pondered the reason for Lucille’s sudden change in attitude.

After they had settled into their seats, Lucille didn’t beat around the bush. “Lacey, I’m here to deliver the betrothal

gifts.”

What?

Lacey’s face was filled with shock and disbelief because she thought it was impossible for the Williams family to be

giving her betrothal gifts on behalf of Zeke. After all, they were the ones who banished him from the family after he

became crippled.

Before she could ask, Lucille explained, “Lacey, I’ve been giving it some thought lately. We might have been too

harsh on Zeke even though he was in the wrong. After all, we are a family, so we shouldn’t hold grudges against

each other. A family shall only prosper when the members are at peace with one another. Hence, I’ve decided to

welcome Zeke back to the family and build a close partnership with Linton Group. With us working together, we’ll

definitely have a better future and perhaps become nobles!”

Seeing that Lacey was still in disbelief, Lucille hurriedly signaled her subordinates with a glance.

Her subordinates left hastily after placing the betrothal gifts in the house without giving Lacey a chance to decline

the gifts.

Joshua handed Lacey a written wedding proposal. “Ms. Hinton, please accept our proposal.”

Lacey opened the proposal and read it. It was clearly stated that the proposal was drafted by the Williams family.
