Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 75

Smiling faintly, Zeke sat down on the sofa.

Dawn then hurriedly poured Zeke a cup of tea. “Have some, Zeke.”

Zeke took it and slowly sipped on the tea.

Lacey rubbed her eyes repeatedly, thinking she was seeing things.

Daniel and his wife finally felt relieved when they saw that the two were getting along well.

Hannah even rolled her eyes angrily at Lacey.

The latter had previously said that the relationship between the two was very bad and that Dawn had called Zeke 'trashman'. This was inconsistent with reality.

Lacey must be fooling me.

Lacey felt sad.

The two of them had clearly been going at each other and had despised each other an hour ago.

Yet now, Dawn had become the servant girl of Zeke.

Lacey asked, “Dawnie, what's going on?”

“What do you mean?” Dawn didn't understand.

Lacey said, “Your attitude towards Zeke wasn't like this earlier. Tell me, did he do something to you? Or does he have some dirt on you?”

“No. What dirt could I have?” Dawn added, “On the contrary, Lacey, it's not cool of you to not tell me earlier that Zeke is so capable.”

Lacey was puzzled. “What's he capable of?”

“Well, apart from anything else, I'll talk about the sack.” Dawn pointed out, “The content of the sack wasn't trash, but ten million dollars.”

Ten million! In a sack!

The Hintons choked on their breath.

Lacey hurriedly asked, “Zeke, what's going on?”

“Oh, you should have heard about it. The Schneider family launched a ten-billion project, Love in a Fallen City.” Zeke explained, “The site of the project happened to be on the plot of ten-hectare land in the eastern area. So, they purchased it with ten million.”

The Hintons were dumbfounded. But they soon became excited.

Hannah even shed tears. “Ten million... ten million. We wouldn't be able to save so much money even if we worked forever and spent nothing on food and water. Zeke, you've earned another ten million for our family. You're so capable.”

Daniel was also having mixed feelings. “When Zeke said that that piece of land could appreciate a hundredfold, we didn't believe him. Now it seems that we were the fools. Zeke, we will listen to you in regards to future business-related matters.”

Unconvinced, Lacey said, “Mom, Dad, we got this ten million from our land sale. It has nothing to do with him.”

Hannah said, “Lacey, don't forget that you didn't want the ten hectares of land today. If it weren't for Zeke, this ten million would've been taken by your grandpa, and not us. Hah, your grandpa and uncle even thought they've gained a lot by getting one million for the ten-hectare plot of land. It's so liberating to think of them crying in a corner now.”

Dawn finally understood. “It turns out that you got this ten million from your land sale. Oh ya, by the way, do you know The Polk? Zeke shut down that company with just a word.”

Lacey gasped. “The Polk? It's a large, listed company. Zeke, did you really shut it down with just a word? Are you really that capable?”

But soon, she suddenly slapped her own head when she finally figured it out. “I get it now. Zeke, you must have looked for the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.”

Zeke didn't say a word, looking like he had acquiesced in her words.

The director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau did play a role in today's incident.

But it was just a supporting role.

Lacey said reproachfully, “It's better not to trouble him so much, Zeke. He only owes us so much favour. If you keep making him repay you, what if he refuses to help us when we really need his help in the future? What would we do then?”

Dawn was shocked. “Wow, Zeke, you even know the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.”

Lacey replied, “Hey, it was just a coincidence. The director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had a kidney stone previously, and Zeke cured him by chance. So that's why he has always been grateful to Zeke.”
