Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 53

Zeke was heartbroken as he saw the tears streaming down Lacey's cheeks. “I have evidence to prove my innocence.”

He showed her the dashcam. “My car's dashcam recorded what happened back then. Please check it out.”

Lacey couldn't wait anymore and watched the footage of the dashcam immediately.

She was touched when she figured Zeke didn't turn his back against her. In fact, he had declined Emily's offer and took Lacey's side instead.

However, Lacey put on an indifferent front as usual. “Hmph! I-I'll tell dad and mom if you try to bully me in such a manner again in the future!”

Zeke murmured to himself. “I'm afraid dad and mom won't take your side either.”

Lacey heaved a long sigh because she felt dejected.

They actually prioritize Zeke over me as of now. If I were to tell them what happened, perhaps they will take Zeke's side and blame me for not having enough faith in him. What the hell!

Zeke flicked Lacey's forehead. “Have you learned your lesson yet? I'll penalize you without any hesitation if you dare doubt me again in the future.”

“Hmph! You damned thug! Move aside! I have got lots of work to do!”

Zeke's past subordinates would definitely be dumbfounded if they had any what was going on.

The Great Marshal actually tried to hit on a girl.

Suddenly, a black Lexus stopped in front of Lacey's office.

Jeremy and Lily walked out of the car.

Lacey knitted her eyebrows. “What sort of business do they have with me?”

Although she didn't appreciate Jeremy's presence, she had to be courteous as he was, after all, her uncle. Hence, she stepped out of her office to welcome him.

“Uncle Jeremy, Lily, what brings you guys here today?”

Jeremy surveyed the surroundings of the steel mill. His eyes glinted greedily. “Mm, I'm here to check on the environment of the steel mill.”

“Lacey, you did a great job taking care of the mill.”

Lacey was surprised because Jeremy had always looked down on her but was now actually complimenting her out of the blue.

Lacey replied cautiously, “Not really.”

Jeremy went on, “Lacey, I've talked to your grandfather, and we do not want to waste your talent handling this steel mill anymore.”

“I have decided to hand over the ten-hectare land of mine in the eastern area to you. I'm sure you will be able to build a new steel mill on a larger scale.”

Lacey couldn't believe her ears when she heard what her stingy uncle told her.

He's offering me his ten-hectare land? I'm sure he's up to no good.

She decided to proceed with caution. “Uncle Jeremy, are you seriously going to hand over the ten-hectare land of yours in the eastern area to me?”

Lily scoffed, “You must be dreaming, right? It's a plot of ten-hectare land we're talking about. Do you really think we're giving it to you for free?”

“You should consider yourself lucky! In return for the plot of ten-hectare land, we only want this plot of five-hectare land of yours.”

Lacey waved at them immediately. “Nope! That's impossible! My steel mill is built on this plot of land of ours. I can't possibly move it with me, right?”

Jeremy assured Lacey, “Don't bother about it if that's the case. Don't worry! Uncle will take good care of this steel mill of yours.”

It was obvious what Jeremy was up to by then. Perhaps even a fool could figure out his intention.

The steel mill was Jeremy's ultimate goal.

Lacey got worked up all of a sudden. She could barely keep her cool as the steel mill was a brainchild of hers.

In fact, the steel mill was a huge part of her life. She would never hand it over to someone else.

Lacey made her stand clear and rejected them. “Uncle Jeremy, forget about it. I will never hand this steel mill of mine over to you!”

“You have no idea how much it means to me! The steel mill is a huge part of my life! No! It's even more important than my life!”

Jeremy sneered. “Forget about it? I'm afraid that's not up to you to decide.”

“I have the legal title of this plot of land with me. That makes me the legal owner of this plot of land!”

Jeremy reached for the legal title he had with him and showed Lacey as he finished his sentence.
