Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 35 Give My All To Treat Lacey Well

Jackson Hamilton's threat shocked the Hinton family.

Darren resumed kneeling and begging in front of Lacey to receive the mortgage contract from him.

Slowly, Lacey took the documents from Darren, who immediately fled the scene after. He looked like someone who had been relieved of a great responsibility.

Zeke smiled, "Lacey, you haven't had your breakfast yet. Let me treat you to breakfast."

Adam Hinton shouted in a rage, "Eat! You still have the mood to eat!"

"You even dared pass a pair of scissors to Darren Collins. You've utterly offended Jackson Hamilton now. If the Hamilton family were to pursue the matter, you alone must accept the blame! Lacey, if you don't want the Hinton family destroyed, in ten days, go to the Hamilton family on your own. Otherwise, we will forcefully take you there!"

Lacey looked towards Zeke.

She knew Zeke would not let her down.

Zeke proclaimed, "Don't worry, Lacey. In ten days, the Hamilton family's assets will belong to the Hinton family. As in Lacey Hinton."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had thought that he would say things like 'I'll protect you', 'I'll take care of the Hamilton family problem, and so on.

They never thought he would brag so outrageously as to involve the whole Hamilton clan.

Perhaps he was biting off more than he could chew.

Adam Hinton snorted in disdain. "Hmph, at this moment, it's uncertain if you can even live for more than ten days. Yet, you dare speak such words. Let's leave now."

Adam Hinton left, taking with him Jeremy and Scott Hinton.

Lacey and her family were relieved.

Once they left the room, Lacey flashed her large eyes at Zeke. "Now, tell me, just how did you take control of Darren!"

Daniel and Hannah were all ears, eager to listen as well.

Zeke began, "Do you remember that some time ago, a mysterious buyer bought all the steel mills in Oakheart City?" Lacey nodded her head. "Of course, I remember. Is he involved in this?"

"Yeah, that buyer signed a contract for the supply of raw materials with Darren and the others, but Darren couldn't supply the amount according to the stipulated time. Darren paid all the liquidity in his hands to the other party as a breach of contract. He has no money to compensate us for the breach of contract, so he can only mortgage the factory."

Daniel and Hannah understood what had happened.

It had turned out that all these were the handiwork of the mysterious buyer, not Zeke.

However, this mysterious buyer was doing Lacey a big favour.

Why would he help Lacey?

He couldn't have been sent by the Great Marshal, could he?

That's highly likely.

However, Lacey was full of doubt.

Simple logic told her that things could not have been so simple.

She was about to probe Zeke further, but Hannah interrupted her.

"Zeke, Lacey was going to end her own life for you just now. You must have seen that. You have our blessings to be with Lacey, but we hope you will not disappoint her as she loves you with all of her heart." The burden that had always been on Zeke' shoulders was finally lifted.

Finally, his father and mother-in-law have both accepted him.

Quickly, he responded, “Dad, mom, rest assured. In the future, I'll give my all to treat Lacey well. After all, Lacey's my only relative in this world."

Hannah sighed, "You poor child. Life has been hard for you."

"Without any family, you grew up alone. If you don't mind, you can treat Daniel and I like your own real parents. We will treat you like our own son." Zeke was incredibly moved.

In truth, he had 'family'; both his parents were alive. They were the Williams family in Atheville.

Sadly, those 'family members' had sacrificed him for their own benefits.

He appreciated that the elderly couple could resist the temptations offered by Jackson Hamilton and choose him, Zeke.

Although they weren't related by blood, they were better than his blood related family members.

Lacey laughed childishly and she said half-jokingly, "Dad, mom, are you sure about that?"

"If I'm with Zeke, Jackson Hamilton would retaliate relentlessly against us. Aren't you both afraid of Zeke?"

Hannah sighed, looking worried.

Daniel, who had so far been silent, spoke up, "If the Hamilton family wants to retaliate, so be it. If it comes to that, we can just give up the factory. If worse comes to worst, we'll leave Oakheart City. As long as you're both happy together, that's all we ever desire."
