The Williams family frowned when they realized they didn’t make it in time.
When Lacey felt that the slap from Joshua wasn’t coming, she opened her eyes curiously.

finally here.”
“They were just forcing me to marry Joshua... boohoo, I thought I wasn’t able to be your wife anymore.”
Zeke’s heart ached as he stroked Lacey’s long hair. “Lacey, don’t worry.”
“You’re mine. No one can take you away from me.”
“Come, sit down. Once I’m done with them, we can return home to discuss the details about our wedding.”
“Alright!” Lacey nodded.
Meanwhile, Zeke walked towards Mdm. Williams. “Move aside.”
Mdm. Williams retorted angrily, “I’m your Grandma, how can you speak to your elders like that?”

all of you.”

“I thought you sent them on behalf of Zeke. Furthermore, you implicitly acknowledged it.”

“You...” Flustered, Lacey’s face was flushed red with anger.
Zeke asked, “Who sent the gifts?”
“It was me!” Joshua replied as he endured the pain.
Zeke demanded, “I now want you to recall the gifts.”
“Never!” Joshua replied firmly.
With a flick of his hand, Zeke sent another dagger into Joshua’s hand, nailing it to the wall.
“Argh!”
Joshua let out another agonizing scream.
Zeke insisted, “Recall them.”
“I’ll never take the wedding gifts back even if I die,” Joshua roared repeatedly like an angry leopard.
If he did that, it would be all for naught.
Zeke remarked, “Very well, I’m impressed with your tolerance for pain.”
With that, he flung out another dagger that pierced Joshua’s thigh.
By now, his whole body was covered in blood.
