Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 33

Lacey felt totally disappointed when she watched the scene in front of her.

All this while, grandpa had favoured the families of Uncle Jeremy and Uncle Scott. He has always

looked down on dad.

To change her family's situation, Lacey had worked hard and gone through hardships to find this steel

mill with some measure of achievement.

Every year, she was the one who brought in the most money for the Hinton family.

She had never thought that all her sacrifices could not compare to the two uncles' sweet talk.

And now, to merely climb the social ladder, the Hinton family would sacrifice her personal happiness.

A family like the Hinton family was not worth her trying to protect it.

Lacey laughed manically and scolded them, “Stop it, all of you!”

“You evil beast, how dare you talk to your elders like this...” Uncle Jeremy reprimanded angrily.

Suddenly, Lacey picked up a pair of scissors and aimed it at her throat. “Get out, give me some peace

and quiet, or else, I'll kill myself in front of you all.”

Instantly, there was silence.

Hannah Lawson felt her body give way. She collapsed on the floor, crying. “Lacey, are you trying to

take away my life? Please put down the scissors. Just put it down. If anything happens to you, I cannot

go on living.”

Lacey sighed, “Mom, all of you go out. Grant me some peace and quiet. Leave me alone.”

Daniel Hinton went wild. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow before bellowing, “Get out, all of you! If

anything happens to my daughter, I'll kill you all.”

Jackson Hamilton, who had been silent all this while, spoke, “Lacey, I know that at this point, you don't

realize the truth. Let me tell you about the real situation. Last night, I sent men to search for the

Fearsome Foursome, but they were nowhere to be found. This means they've murdered someone and

have run away to escape the law. All these points to the fact that Zeke is dead. Besides that, Darren

Collins will not let any of your family members escape. If I don't help, the whole Hinton Family will be

buried together with you. You'd better think about your choices carefully.”

Adam Hinton cursed, “Now, you've heard the truth. If Darren Collins vents his anger on us, the entire

Hinton family will be annihilated! The only one who can help us now is Jackson!”

Lacey sneered, “Rest assured, even if I die, I will not involve your Hinton family.”

Jackson Hamilton smiled, “You will come and beg me for help sooner or later.”

With that, Jackson Hamilton turned to leave.

However, when he opened the door, he saw someone standing there.

Zeke!

It was Zeke!

Not only was he alive, in fact... he was safe and sound!

combined fail?

Jackson Hamilton's heart jumped. He felt the premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Zeke walked into the room and looked at the pair of scissors pointed at Lacey's neck. His heart felt as if

it had been pierced by a knife.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of shocked eyes, he slowly walked to Lacey's side.

“Lacey, I'm sorry I'm back late.”

Lacey was shocked first. Then, she punched him hard with both fists, crying hysterically.

She wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart.

“Naughty, naughty, naughty! What did you do last night? Didn't you know I was worried sick! If you had

come back any later, I would have taken my own life because of you, you bad boy!”

With his heart full of remorse, Zeke held Lacey in his arms. “Lacey, it was my fault. Don't worry, I'll

never leave you again.”

Adam Hinton banged on the table angrily. “Let go of her, Zeke, let her go! I'll never recognize you as a

son-in-law of the Hinton family. If you really care about Lacey's wellbeing, leave her as soon as

possible. You may have escaped death this time, but Darren Collins will not let you off easily. You'll only

bring calamity upon the Hinton family. Only Jackson Hamilton can help my family now. You go as far

away as possible!”

With eyes full of fury, Zeke gazed at Adam Hinton.

Yes, this is definitely the man who forced Lacey to pick up the pair of scissors!

All of a sudden, Jackson Hamilton proclaimed gleefully, “Everyone look, Darren Collins's here with

many people. Lacey, this is your last chance, I'm advising you, don't suffer more than necessary.”

Adam Hinton took a look at the scene outside. Upon seeing Darren Collins, he turned pale instantly.

He immediately went to try and separate Lacey and Zeke from each other.

However, Zeke stretched out his hand and blocked him. “Whoever dares to touch Lacey will die!”

Adam Hinton turned beet red, “You evil creature, you've brought death to my whole family...”

At this moment, Darren Collins walked in with a group of people.

Adam Hinton quickly spoke up, “Mr. Dawson, all this is the fault of Zeke. It has nothing to do with the

Hinton family. If you want revenge, get Zeke. Even if you kill him, we shall not interfere.”

However, Darren Collins did not pay heed to him. Instead, he went straight to Lacey.

Lacey felt nervous and tensed instantly. She held the pair of scissors silently.

Daniel took hold of a bench quietly.

If anything happened, he would attack.

However, to everyone's surprise, Darren Collins did not do anything.

Instead, he knelt down with a thud, quickly and simply.
