Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 62

The policemen heaved a sigh of relief and departed right after they got into the car.

Zeke handed the safe box to Hannah, “Mom, please verify if there's a million.”

Hannah, who was dumbfounded, finally returned to her senses. She held on to the safe box and

assured Zeke, “O-Okay! I'll go and verify it immediately!”

She rushed into the office with the safe box and locked the door because she was afraid others would

go in after her.

Zeke gave Lacey a thumbs up. “Honey, you're the best! You managed to earn a million without doing

anything over the night! I'm impressed!”

“Shut up.” Lacey looked at Zeke in the eyes.

She knew Zeke must have been the one behind the scenes because of how absurd things were. Lacey

refused to believe it had nothing to do with Zeke.

Jeremy shouted angrily, “Shut up, Zeke!”

“Do you think that million belongs to Lacey? It belongs to me! I spent a night behind bars for it!”

“You have to hand it over to me!”

Lily nodded vigorously. “That's right! That's a compensation from the Schneider family to my dad! You

guys shouldn't have gotten your hands on it!”

However, Lacey rebutted their statements, “I'm sure you guys heard what the police told me, right? It's

for the person in charge of the steel mill.”

“I believe I'm the person in charge as of now.”

Daniel raised his objection. “Nonsense! Do you think you're the person in charge just because you

have said so? Why don't you refer to the legal title?”

Lacey showed him the legal title, “Are you talking about this piece of paper?”

Jeremy scoffed, “Hmph! Don't forget that your grandpa is the owner of the legal title! Dad, why don't

you tell him who's the owner of this plot of land!”

Adam flushed all of a sudden and remained silent.

Lacey cast a thoughtful gaze at Zeke. “Did you insist on the transferal of ownership because of this?

Did you foresee this coming our way?”

“Nah! I must have been lucky!” assured Zeke.

“Ha... Ha... Do you really think I will trust you?” asked Lacey rhetorically.

Jeremy's face turned pale when he heard their words, “What? Transferal of ownership?”

Lily stuttered, “Dad... J-Just now... t-they insisted us to transfer the legal title to them. H-Hence...”

Jeremy's heart skipped a beat. He almost passed out when he heard what Lily told him.

The legal title's ownership... has been transferred!

Jeremy knew he was as good as done.

“Y-You... damned brat!” Lily Hinton pointed at Lily in the face viciously. “You shouldn't have been so

swift with your actions!”

Lily decided to reach out to Adam. “Grandpa, help me.”

Adam took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “Lacey, you should hand over the million to

your uncle.”

Lacey replied stubbornly, “Why exactly should I do that?”

“Why? Because he's your uncle!” replied Adam.

“After all, your steel mill has been generating a fortune all along. I'm sure a million means nothing to

you. Your uncle's financial condition is not as good as yours. You should hand it over to him without any

condition!”

Pfft!

Zeke burst into laughter all of a sudden. “I have never come across such a shameless bunch of seniors

like you guys. How could you guys ask for pocket money from your nephew and your granddaughter?”

Jeremy shouted angrily, “Damn it! Shut up! You have no rights to speak in front of us!”

Zeke grunted and replied, “You want the million? We'll hand over the million to you under one

condition.”

“Go on,” replied Jeremy.

Zeke went on, “We'll give it to you once you transfer the ownership of the ten-hectare plot of land at the

eastern area to Lacey.

Lacey was anxious all of a sudden and stopped Zeke. “No! I don't agree with that!”

“The ten-hectare plot of land in the eastern area is worthless! Per hectare cost twenty to thirty thousand

at max. Ten-hectare cost only two to three hundred thousand.”

“We will suffer a huge loss if we were to purchase a plot of land which merely cost two to three hundred

thousand with a million.”

However, Jeremy agreed without any hesitation. “Since Zeke promises to give me the million, he can't

go back against his words anymore.”

“I'll hand over the legal title of the ten-hectare plot of land once I receive the million.”

The ten-hectare plot of land was but a plot of wasteland for Jeremy. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He wouldn't even flinch even if he were to give it away for free, let alone a million.

“Deal!” replied Zeke.
