Lucille stood up and said, “Alright, I shall take my leave now. See you soon.”
She left in a rush like how she came, leaving Lacey in confusion.
Has Mdm. Williams really changed her mind? But it seems quite surreal.
Maybe she wants to cooperate with Linton Group after seeing our potential.
Not giving the matter any further thought, Lacey kept the proposal carefully.
She was finally going to marry Zeke! Her efforts were not wasted after all.
The news of the Williams family reconciling with Zeke and giving Lacey betrothal gifts was all over Atheville by
evening.
The union of the prominent Williams family and the rising Linton Group would surely elevate both parties up the
social ladder!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke was chatting with his parents in his new house when he received a phone call from his subordinate.
When Zeke was informed of the news, the first thing that came to his mind was that it was all a conspiracy.
After telling his parents, Diego and Lennon, the news, they both agreed with Zeke that there was definitely
something up the Williams family’s sleeves again.
“Let’s go back,” Zeke said.
The three of them reached Linton Group soon.
Lacey stood up immediately to greet them, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams. Please have a seat. I’ll fetch you a cup of
tea.”
Lennon hurriedly stopped her, “Lacey, don’t trouble yourself with that. Come sit with Mom.”
Lacey blushed when her future mother-in-law addressed herself as ‘Mom.’ She then sat across Lennon.
Lennon asked, “Lacey, did the Williams family give you betrothal gifts?”
Lacey asked in puzzlement, “Don’t you know about it? That’s impossible! Are you saying that they didn’t inform you
beforehand?”
Zeke shook his head. “We really know nothing about it. Can you show me the written wedding proposal, Lacey?”
“Sure.” Lacey realized that something might be amiss as she handed Zeke the proposal.
After reading it, Zeke drew a sharp breath. “As expected, there’s something fishy about it.”
“Is there?” Astounded, Lacey pressed on, “What’s wrong? I didn’t see any problems when I read it just now.”
Zeke replied calmly, “It vaguely states that the betrothal gifts are from the Williams family instead of specifying me
as the groom.”
Lacey was bewildered. “It’s only a tiny detail. Surely it isn’t something serious, is it?”
Zeke sighed. “I hope this is not one of their tricks.”
In fact, Zeke guessed that the Williams family had heard the rumor that Lacey was the daughter of Ares and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwanted one of their own to marry her for the benefit of the family.
However, he didn’t tell Lacey about it because he didn’t want her to worry.
Lacey kept the proposal cautiously. “Mr. and Mrs. Williams, I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you with our wedding
preparations. We’re not sure how to do it.”
Diego and Lennon nodded smilingly. “Don’t worry. You can leave that to us.”
For the next few days, Zeke kept an eye on the movements of the Thisleton family.
With Ares managing the household, the Thisletons were powerful enough to pose a threat to Zeke and Eurasia.
Hence, he had to take it seriously.
Lacey was still busy with company affairs at the moment, but she would occasionally fantasize about her wedding.
Three days later, when Zeke had just left Linton Group, a groom’s procession stopped in front of the company.
The lively and festive vibe of the procession attracted the attention of many employees of the company.
Lacey walked out to see the commotion.
Everyone was curiously discussing who was getting married that day when a man placed a bridal sedan in front of
Lacey and said, “Let’s welcome the bride!”
