Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 16

Zeke frowned as he had not arranged for the tickets. “No, we don't need tickets to enter the ceremony.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course, it's not him.” A man suddenly laughed.

Everyone turned their heads, wondering who spoke.

A young man walked out of a Benz parked not far from them.

The man wore a branded suit and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti dress shoes, paired with a swiss watch.

That person was none other than Jackson Hamilton.

Ever since his men had failed to separate Zeke and Lacey twice, he decided to do it on his own.

Lacey's face darkened as soon as she saw Jackson.

“You got us the tickets?” Hannah quickly asked.

“I heard that your family wanted to join the Grand Ceremony. So, I decided to get you some in the

name of the Hamilton family.” Jackson nodded.

“Oh my! Thank you so much! This is a dream come true!” Hannah exclaimed.

Daniel was also smiling widely, liking Jackson even more.

Yet, Lacey wasn't happy with it. “Mom, there's no way we can accept such an expensive gift.”

Because the moment her parents took the ticket, it meant that they were accepting Jackson as their

son-in-law.

Lacey did not want to marry such a playboy.

“Are you dumb? Jackson is showing us his gratitude. How can we reject something like this?” Hannah

scolded. “Plus, the Clemons are out to get us. As long as we can get into the ceremony, our standings

will definitely be higher. By then, the Clemons will have to think twice before they mess with us.”

“You don't have to worry about a thing,” Jackson quickly assured. “Emily Clemons is just a mere

employee under the Hamilton family. She'll have to get through me first if she wants to mess with you.”

Lacey tried to argue, but Jackson stopped her. “Come on, we should head in. The ceremony is about to

start. But... I only have three extra tickets, which means this young man here can't join us.”

Jackson pointed at Zeke as he spoke.

“He's just an outsider. Let's just leave him here,” Hannah quickly said. “Lacey! Come on! The clock's

ticking!”

“You know what, I think I'm going to stay here. I don't feel so good.” Lacey sighed.

“Are you sure? How about I take you to the hospital?” Jackson offered.

“It's fine. She can rest here. Come on, let's go,” Hannah quickly stopped Jackson. She knew that there

was no way they could change her daughter's mind.

“I see... I'll get the best doctor to check up on you once the ceremony is over,” Jackson nodded. He

knew he would win her hand in marriage as long as he got Lacey's parents to side with him.

The three of them walked towards the gate as Lacey stared at them with admiration and

disappointment.

She had always dreamt of participating in the Grand Ceremony and see the Great Marshal in the flesh.

Yet, the chance of her doing that slipped away just like that.

Lacey turned to look at Zeke and said, “Come on, let's head back.”

However, Zeke shook his head. “No. We can't leave yet. In a few seconds, your parents will be denied

entry into the ceremony, and they will be in trouble. I have to protect them.”

“Seriously, how can you joke with such a serious face?” Lacey laughed wryly. “Whatever. It's a waste to

leave now since we’re already here.”

Lacey continued to stare at her parents.

On the other side, Jackson sighed at the Hintons. “I think Lacey doesn't like me that much.”

“What? Of course, she likes you. She just doesn't know it yet,” Hannah quickly comforted. “I'll talk to

her once we get back.”

“You don't have to worry about Zeke. That guy has nothing when compared to you,” Daniel added.

“Zeke is more like a short-term fun for Lacey. She'll change her mind in a few days.”

“Thank you.” Jackson let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, they arrived at the gate. It was crowded with people who didn't have tickets but wanted to a part

of the excitement, nonetheless.

There were also news outlets live streaming the ceremony.

Every person who passed through the gate garnered the attention of everyone there because only

VVIPs could get their hands on such tickets.

Hannah and Daniel followed closely behind Jackson as they were showered with stares of admiration.

The gate was tightly guarded with armed security.

After handing the tickets to the guards, Jackson led the old couple in. However, they were stopped.

“Hold it! These are fakes!”
