Chapter - 127

Lily had to reach out to Lacey because she had run out of options.

“Lacey, please help me! Please lend me two hundred million!”

“I’ll sell the Hamilton Group off tomorrow and return the money to you!”

Zeke declined Lily’s request without any hesitation. “Nope! We don’t have that much either! Otherwise, we would have gone after the Hamilton Group too!”

Lily ignored Zeke and begged, “Lacey, please! I’m sure you’ll be able to come out with something, right? You’ll be able to gather two hundred million, right? I’m willing to hand over the Hamilton Group to you as collateral!”

Lacey was tempted by Lily’s offer because it would be a great opportunity for her to gain ownership over the Hamilton Group.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take over the Hamilton Group!

Lacey knew she would be able to gather two hundred million should she wish to.

However, Zeke declined Lily’s request once more. “I’m sorry! It’s impossible!”

Lily was so anxious she almost broke into tears.

“Lacey, we’re family! You have to save me! You can’t forsake me! I’ll be good as dead if I offend the Williams family!”

Zeke replied in a callous tone, “Family? Correct me if I’m wrong, but someone has said we’re not a family, hasn’t she?”

Lily’s cheeks flushed red.

In the meantime, Lacey couldn’t bear to forsake Lily because it was her life at stake.

She turned around and looked Zeke in the eyes. Lacey was trying to reach out to Zeke for help.

It seemed like Lacey had become dependent on Zeke as time went by.

She dared not make the call without his permission.

Zeke smiled at Lacey. “You have always been such a kind lady. Fine! I’ll do Lacey a favour and help you for once.”

“Hand over Hamilton Construction to us, and we’ll give you a hundred million.”

Lily’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What! It’s a company with a net worth of a thousand million! You want to take it over with a hundred million? Stop kidding me! Consider yourself lucky that I’m making do with two hundred million instead! That’s the best I have to offer!”

Zeke shook his head and replied, “If that’s the case, let’s forget about it! Lacey, let’s go!”

Lily held on to Lacey’s hand and stopped her.

She wouldn’t allow them to leave as they were the only ones she could rely on.

“Lacey, please don’t leave me alone! I won’t make it out alive!”

“A hundred million… Fine! A hundred million it is! However, you have to borrow me another million! We’ll deal with it once I’ve dealt with things here.”

Zeke turned around and looked at Lacey, “What do you think?”

Lacey nodded immediately. “I’m fine with it.”

Lacey would lend Lily three hundred or even four hundred million if it were necessary.

Zeke approached the senior officer and instructed, “Please take your leave. I’ll transfer the money to your account immediately after we sort things out.”

The senior citizen nodded and left with the bunch of men in black

Lily heaved a sigh of relief. “Great! Please head over and transfer the required amount to them. Send the contract over to me once you have it drafted.”

She was about to flee as soon as she finished her sentence because she had no intention to honour her promise.

Lily would deny her responsibility once Lacey had transferred the money to those from the Williams family.

Should worse come to worst, Lily would return Lacey the two hundred million she had borrowed from her once she got rid of the Hamilton Group.

However, Zeke had come fully prepared.

He got in Lily’s way and showed her the contract she had with him. “I have a complete set of agreements with me. All you have to do is sign your name.”

Lily was dumbfounded because Zeke had managed to get the better of her.

She had no choice but to sign the agreement as instructed.

Lacey’s eyes gleamed when she went through the content of the transferal agreement.

It seems like he had prepared the agreement in advance because he figured out those from the Williams family will retrieve the wedding gifts.

How did he manage to figure it out beforehand?

The Williams family from Atheville… Zeke…

Zeke isn’t part of the Williams family from Atheville, is he?

I mean, the capability he has portrayed previously does match up to those of the Williams family!
