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 apensation 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 ofnd!”


    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 thising 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 intoughter all of a sudden. “I have nevere 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 ofnd 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 ofnd 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 ofnd 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 ofnd once I receive the million.”


    The ten-hectare plot ofnd was but a plot of wastnd for Jeremy.


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


    “Deal!” replied Zeke.
