Chapter - 226

“Mr. Adam, Mr. Jeremy, Lily, welcome,” Sam quickly greeted. “Come on in.”

“We’ll do the talking later. Officer Hugh is going to promote you soon. We shouldn’t let him wait,” Madeleine stopped her son.

“Madeleine’s right. We’ll wait out here first,” Adam agreed. “Congratulations, Sam.”

“Here are some gifts from us,” Jeremy smiled as he handed Sam the cigarettes and wines.

“This is too much. You being here is more than enough,” Sam smiled.

“It’s just a small gesture from us,” Lily smiled as she grabbed Sam’s arm.

“If you insist… Thank you,” Sam replied.

“You really are the best among our peers,” Lily complimented. “I knew you would have a great future.”

“It’s nothing, really,” Sam laughed. “That’s right. Since it’s my big day today, why don’t you invite your family to join us for dinner tonight?”

The meaning behind Sam’s words was for Lily to invite her parents so they could settle their marriage.

“Okay…” Lily nodded as her face reddened.

“Jeremy, I don’t mind our children getting married, but you have to promise me one thing,” Madeleine said.

“What’s that?’

“You better distance yourself from Zeke. I heard he joined the mafia, and that he even killed someone yesterday. There’s no way I want to have = anything to do with that man.”

“That bastard!” Adam roared. “What an embarrassment! Don’t worry. I’ve already disowned Daniel! Their family has nothing to do with us now.”

“Good.”

The neighbors began to talk about the incident as well.

“So, that’s how Zeke got his money.”

“Right? Emily was lucky when they broke up, or else Sam would have never been promoted.”

“Let’s kick that scum out! Sam, you can do that, right?”

Sam looked at his neighbours and assured them. “Don’t worry, Mr. Logan is here to investigate Zeke. He has proof that Zeke is, in fact, a murderer.”

The neighbours were delighted and began to praise Sam as their justice protector.

They even praised Adam for placing righteousness about his family.

At the same time, Lacey and her family were getting into their car for a field trip.

Sharon had been begging to meet her father, so Lacey decided to bring her out, hoping the girl could have some fun.

As soon as the car started, Lacey yelled, “Wait!”

“What’s wrong?” Zeke asked.

“I forgot my jade pendant!”

Lacey has been wearing the jade pendant ever since she was a kid. It felt as if a part of her was missing when it wasn’t on her.

Since Zeke thought it was problematic to go back in, he took out the other half of the pendant Lacey had given him years ago. “Here, I already got it for you.”
