Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 52

Lacey's uncle, Jeremy, was confused. “I heard you've fired by the Hamilton family. Who do you think

you are to strike a deal with me?”

Emily told him the truth, “The Hamilton family? What a joke! They are but nothing to me!”

“I am now part of the Schneider family as a procurement specialist.”

“I will be in charge of the procurement for a huge project worth ten billion, which will be launched soon.”

“I want you to take over Lacey's steel mill. As long as you're able to get your hands on it, I'll have you

take over the steel orders worth a billion. We'll split the profit into half for each of us.”

“What? A billion?” Jeremy's heart skipped a beat when he heard the fortune involved.

He agreed without any hesitation at all, “Sure! Let's seal the deal!”

“To be honest, I have been preparing to get my hands on Lacey's steel mill as well. I'm at the final

stage of preparation. Everything will be ready soon.”

“If everything turns out accordingly, the steel mill will belong to me by tomorrow.”

Emily replied, “I can't wait for the great news! I look forward to working with you as well.”

Jeremy gulped down two glasses of water after he hung up the call to calm himself down.

He rushed over to pay his father, Adam Hinton, a visit right after he regained his composure.

Jeremy initiated a conversation with his dad. “Dad, I have something to discuss with you.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Speak,” replied Adam.

Jeremy told him what he was up to. “Dad, when we decided to take a different path from one another,

you gave me a plot of ten-hectare land while Daniel was given a plot of five-hectare land.”

“I mean, I'm not in the line of business either. I can't possibly fully utilize the plot of land given to me.

Instead, I think Lacey might need it since she's currently expanding her business.”

“Is it fine for me to exchange the plot of ten-hectare land of mine with the five-hectare that Lacey

owns?”

Adam's eyes widened. He glared at Jeremy, “Hmph! I think the one you want is Lacey's steel mill,

right?”

“She built the mills on the plot of land given to them. If you manage to get your hands on their plot of

land, that means you will be the owner of the steel mill.”

“Jeremy, I'll be honest with you. I don't think you're able to run a business on your own. Please allow

Lacey to take care of the steel mill instead.”

Jeremy was embarrassed as his father had managed to see through his plan immediately.

However, he tried to justify himself once again. “Dad, I'm doing this for the Hinton family's sake!”

“I'm sure you're aware of Zeke's presence, right? Lacey is currently head over heels in love with him.

I'm sure she will hand the steel mill over to him if he were to request for it.”

“Does that mean you want an outsider to reap what we have sowed previously? Seriously? Do you

want to forsake one of our own?”

Adam had a serious expression on his face all of a sudden.

Before long, he heaved a euphoric sigh. “Mm. You're right. Fine, you have my consent. I do not want an

outsider to be the owner of the plot of land as well.”

Adam searched high and low for the legal title of the five-hectare plot of land owned by Lacey's family

as he told Jeremy his decision. Finally, he found it and handed it over to Jeremy.

Although he had distributed the plots of lands he had to his sons, he still held on to the legal title of the

lands.

The legal title was but a piece of paper, but it felt tremendous for Jeremy. It wasn't just any piece of

paper for him.

What he had in his hand would secure him a fortune of ten billion.

He picked Lily up and rushed over to the steel mill the moment he got his hands on the legal title.

Lily had found out that Lacey's family-owned assets worthy of a billion back when she worked as a

lobby manager.

Ever since then, she had always wanted to get her hands on Lacey's steel mill. Lily was the one behind

the idea to get the steel mill by force through the legal titles.

...

Meanwhile, Zeke enjoyed being around an irritated Lacey in the steel mill because she was one of a

kind even when she was mad.

Lacey could no longer keep her cool. “Y-You... This is no laughing matter!”

“If you can't explain yourself, you better stay away from me for the rest of your life!”

Zeke teased rhetorically, “Stay away from you? I'm afraid your parents won't allow that to happen.”

Lacey was about to cry because of how shameless her husband was. He actually made use of her

parents against her.

“Damn it! Stop making use of my parents against me! You jerk! I will be in charge of my marriage! I

don't care what they say!”

Zeke asked in return, “Lacey, do you really think I'm the kind of man who would return to his ex? I will

never go back on my words!”

Lacey shouted angrily, “Men are all the same! They tend to repeat the same mistake over and over

again!”

“Stop lying to me! What about this video right here? Why don't you tell me what's going on?”
