Chapter - 177

For the longest time, they had wanted to marry Lacey to Jackson, and use the power of the Hamilton family to help the Hinton family.

But now, the Hamilton family had collapsed, while Lacey quietly developed her company and grew it to such a degree. She even wanted to establish a conglomerate and surpassed the Hamilton Group when it was at its peak!

Life is ever-changing, and fate does deal some people a rotten hand.

The two of them secretly regretted antagonizing Lacey and her family.

Otherwise, they would now be able to get part of the shares as well, instead of owing her family one hundred million dollars!

The coming-of-age ceremony soon ended.

After their relatives and friends had left, Hannah asked for the car key and threw it to Daniel.

“Zeke, we don’t have enough bedrooms at home, so I will temporarily let your grandma stay in your room. You and Lacey can spend the night in a hotel.”

Then, without giving them a chance to refute, she got into the car with Daniel and her mother before driving off.

After a while, Daniel whispered, “Hannah, why didn’t you let them stay at home? You and Mom can share the same room, while I sleep on the sofa. Lacey and Zeke can still have their room.”

Hannah rolled her eyes at Daniel, and said, “I really think your brain is mush. You can’t even understand such a thing. Let me ask you, don’t you find it strange that Lacey is still not pregnant even though Zeke has been living with us for a few months?”

Daniel replied thoughtfully, “Oh, yea, we should get a doctor to examine Lacey.”

“You’re unbelievably stupid.” Hannah’s face darkened. “I mean, the pair is too embarrassed to get intimate as they live under the same roof with us. Let them have their own space outside so that they can let go of any worries they have.”

“Oh, Hannah, you are so thoughtful.” It finally dawned on Daniel.

Hannah’s mother also said, “You should really urge Lacey to have children, Hannah. I’m not old yet; I can still help look after the baby when it’s born. Looks like I’ll have to talk about this with Lacey someday.”

Hannah smiled and said, “Mom, Lacey has always obeyed you since she was a child. I’ll entrust you with this task then.”

Standing at the entrance to Grand Millenium Hotel, Zeke was secretly delighted, yet he dared not show it. He was holding back so much, it was killing him.

He feigned innocence. “Tsk! Mom is really doing everything to have a grandchild, isn’t she? Lacey, although I want to fulfil Mom’s wish, I will still respect your choice.”

Lacey rolled her eyes. “Pfft! Stop being hypocritical. You must be bubbling with joy deep down. Your expression says it all!”

“Huh?” Zeke panicked, and quickly put on a straight face. “No, I’m not! Cut the nonsense! There’s no such thing!”

He still denies it! Lacey chuckled.

The Great Marshal would never let his face show any emotion whenever he was strategizing and facing the enemies.

Yet he was still a rookie in terms of romantic relationships, so he completely lost all self-control and became flustered.

However, Lacey thought that his natural reaction was kind of cute.

As the car had been driven away by Daniel, Lacey had to take the taxi.

“Sir, Westlake Road, please.”

“Alright.”

Zeke breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, we’re not going home.

While on their way to the destination, Lacey asked, “Tell me, where did you get the money to buy 30% shares in Grand Millenium?”

“Buy? I didn’t buy them. Susan gave them to me for free,” Zeke replied.

Lacey didn’t buy his words. “Hah. Why would she give you such a huge gift when she doesn’t have any relationship with you?”
