Chapter 56


    Chapter 56 I Do Hope You Are Innocent


    What? This ce must have been jinxed!


    Jeremy trembled in fear because of the misfortune had befallen the moment he took over the steel mill.


    He immediately exined himself, “Mr. Geoffrey, I have just taken over the steel mill.”


    “I wasn''t the one who supplied the steels for the Schneider family previously. Someone else was

    behind the particr deal. Please go after that person in charge instead.”


    Mr. Geoffrey sneered, “I believe that''s an internal affair of yourpany. It has nothing to do with me at


    all.”


    “All I have to do is to deal with the person in charge of the steel mill as of now.”

    Jeremy was handcuffed by police immediately.


    He broke down and lost his cool as he shouted at Lily hysterically, “Lily, go get Lacey!”


    “She''s the person in charge of the steel mill! We shall return it to her!”


    Lily was frightened by what was going on. She only managed to return to her senses when she heard


    Jeremy''s words.


    She cried and replied, “Don''t worry, dad! I''ll go get Lacey immediately!”


    “That damned Lacey! How dare you set us up!”


    She rushed towards Lacey''s ce immediately as she was afraid the police would take her away with


    them as well.


    Emily stiffened all of a sudden, her mind all over the ce.


    She would never have expected such an incident to ur. Things turned out exactly the other way


    around, even though she had racked her brain to develop the malicious scheme.


    If she hadn''t persuaded Jeremy to take over the steel mill, Lacey would be the one taken away instead.


    Great! Lacey manages to get off the hook while Jeremy has to spend his time behind bars for the time


    being. What a day!


    Mr. Geoffrey sneered and snatched the contract worthy of a billion from Emily. “Are you kidding me?


    They can''t even fulfil the previous contract worthy of a billion, but you''ve actually signed a contract


    worthy of ten billion with them.”


    “I hope you didn''t strike a deal with them secretly behind my back, did you?”


    Emily got anxious all of a sudden and exined herself. “No! I didn''t! I did nothing of sorts!”


    “I... I didn''t expect the Hinton family to be such a cunning bunch! If I had any idea of what''s going on, I


    would have never worked with them!”


    Mr. Geoffrey scoffed, “I will investigate what''s going on myself. I do hope that you are as innocent as


    you proim to be.”


    “Apart from that, this particr steel mill will be cklisted. The Schneider family will never work with


    them anymore.”


    Emily replied in a humble manner. “Don''t worry, Mr. Geoffrey. I will never work with the Hinton family


    anymore!”


    ...


    It was gettingte, but Lacey''s ce was brightly lit as they couldn''t fall asleep. None of them could


    move on from what had happened with the steel mill.


    Lacey couldn''t bear it when she saw how upset her parents were because of her. “Dad, mom, please


    go to bed and get some rest. We''ll deal with what happened to the steel mill tomorrow.”


    “If worsees to worst, let''s forsake the steel mill. I will start up something else and begin another


    venture!”


    Daniel put out his cigarette and spoke in a ferocious manner, “Lacey, we are aware of what you''ve


    sacrificed for the steel mill. We will never give up on it!


    “Don''t worry! I will force your grandpa to return the steel mill to us, even if it''s going to cost my life!”


    Hannah took a peek at Daniel. “Hmph! Finally, you''re acting like a man!”


    “Let''s tuck into bed for the time being. We''ll talk about it tomorrow.”


    Zeke, who had remained silent all along, broke the silence all of a sudden. “Dad, mom, let''s wait for


    another minute.”


    Everyone stared at him in disbelief. “What are we waiting for?”


    Zeke looked at his phone. “It''s about time.”


    As soon as he finished his sentence, someone knocked on their door.


    Zeke smiled and told Lacey, “Lacey, go get the door.”


    “It''s gettingte. Who is it?” murmured Lacey to herself as she made her way to answer the door.


    It was Lily on their doorstep.


    Lacey tried to chase her away petntly, “Lily Hinton, please leave! You''re not weed here!”


    Lily tried her best to calm herself down because she didn''t want them to find out that she was upset.


    I can''t let Lacey know that dad has been sent behind bars! If she knows what''s going on, she definitely


    won''t take over the steel mill again.


    She replied in an arrogant manner, “Lacey, we don''t want your steel mill anymore. Please take it over.”
