Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 24

Hannah panicked after she got Lacey's call. The older woman quickly grabbed her card and left for the bank.

“Do you still have the card I gave you?” Zeke asked.

When Lacey had gotten the five million from the Schneider family, Hannah wanted to deposit the money herself. Zeke had given her his Bauhinia Royal card so she could skip the line.

“What's the point? Can it help us get the loan?” Hannah scolded.

“It might come in handy,” Zeke explained.

“Fine!” Hannah sighed.

Both of them arrived at the bank not long after.

Zeke was surprised to see Lily Hinton at the bank as well.

Lacey was begging Lily to help her. The latter didn't budge despite Lacey's pleas.

“Sh*t!” Hannah cursed. “Lily’s the lobby manager here. There's no way she's going to help Lacey, especially after what happened at the party.”

“Don't worry, we don't need the loan,” Zeke comforted. “The card I gave you should be enough to help Lacey.”

Hannah turned to glare at Zeke angrily. There was no way she would believe him, as she still thought of Zeke as someone who couldn't even give three hundred thousand as a wedding gift.

Lily raised her head even higher when she saw Hannah and Zeke.

“Oh my, why’s my aunt here as well? Isn't your son-in-law someone who can scare the director of the bureau? He should be able to help you!” Lily mocked. After what had happened at the hotel, Lily investigated Zeke and learned that he'd help cure the director.

There was no reason for Lily to be afraid of Zeke.

“What? Him? He's no one,” Hannah laughed awkwardly. “Plus, he's not my son-in-law yet. Even if he is, we’re a family, which makes us closer, doesn't it?”

Lily looked at Zeke hysterically before turning back to address Hannah. “Well, since Aunt Hannah is begging me, I guess I have no choice but to help. I can lend you a five million loan first, but the interest you will have to give me is thirty percent.”

Lacey frowned instantly. Lending money from a loan shark would be better than having to pay a thirty percent interest!

“Please, Lily, thirty percent is too much. Can't you lower it a little? Just think of it as me owing you a favor...” Lacey begged.

“And why should I do that?” Lily snorted. “My ex lost his job because of you! Thirty percent!”

Lacey's face turned pale. “B-but... Fine... Thirty percent...”

Before Lacey could agree to it, Zeke scolded, “Isn't it your job to help us apply for our loan? How dare you ask for a thirty percent interest to yourself? You're an insult to the banking industry! Call your manager out! I want to have a talk with him!”
