Chapter 82


    With a wry smile, Lacey shook her head. “Forget it. Do whatever you want. From now on, you''re not


    allowed to set foot in my steel mill.”


    “I''m afraid you will lose your steel mill soon,” Lily stated.


    Lacey asked, “What do you mean?”


    Jackson chimed in, ”Let me warn you, Lacey. If the Schneider family is taking action against youter,


    just beg me, and maybe I can help you. Otherwise, destruction awaits.”


    Lacey frowned. “Why would the Schneider family take action against me?”


    She suddenly thought of something as her face went pale.


    “Damn it. Lily, did you do something to my bid proposal?”


    Lily yed innocent. “What bid proposal? I didn''t see it.”


    Lacey instantly exploded with rage.


    Damn it. She really denies it.


    She must have done something to it.


    She said through gritted teeth, “Lily, y-you''re worse than an animal. What would you gain by making me


    bankrupt?”


    “What are you talking about? I don''t understand you at all,” Lily sneered. “Jackson, let''s go back to our


    seats. They will surelye to beg uster.”


    Jackson said indifferently, “I''ll tell you one thing, Lacey. As I saidst time, I will make you engaged to


    me in ten days. It''s the tenth day today. You''d better think properly whether you want to be killed by the


    Schneider family or to marry me.”


    Zeke, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, “I''ll tell you one thing too. If the Schneider


    family takes action against youter, you cane and beg us. Of course, I would lose if I helped you,


    though.”


    Pfft!

    Jackson chuckled. “Beg you? Beg you and make a fool of yourselves? Haha! What a joke. Let''s go,


    Lily.”


    Jackson then left with Lily.


    Lacey turned red with anger. “Damn, Lily is so cruel. To think that I trusted her so much.”


    Zeke patted her on the shoulder. “Now that you''ve seen her true colours, I hope you learn from it and


    not be soft-hearted next time.”


    Lacey sighed. “Let''s go, Zeke. There''s no more hope for us in this tender. We may even anger the


    Schneider family as well.”


    “A piece of advice, don''t ever give up hope until the veryst moment. Who knows? There might be a


    miracle!”


    Lacey was speechless.


    He thinks a miracle is something that we cane across everywhere, doesn''t he?


    Lacey repeatedly told him she wanted to leave, but Zeke insisted on staying and waiting for the miracle


    to happen.


    So, Lacey had no choice but to stay.


    She was now almost dying of anxiety, as she didn''t know what kind of bid proposal Lily had submitted


    on her behalf.


    Would the Schneider family deem the messy bid proposal they received as a sign of disrespect and get


    mad?


    Hopefully, Lily didn''t go too far.


    However, the truth was that Lily was cruel. She reced the content of her bid proposal with insults to


    the Schneider family.


    Soon, the master of ceremonies took the stage.


    After a brief opening line, he got down to business.


    “Next, let us wee Mr. Evan Schneider from the Schneider family in Oakheart City.”


    The initially boisterous hall immediately fell silent.


    Everyone looked at the stage expectantly.


    A middle-aged man in a suit stepped up to the rostrum with great panache.


    Evan Schneider was the richest man in Oakheart City, and the delegate to the People''s Congress in


    Rivermouth.


    He had started from scratch and built a business empire in just a few years.


    To date, his sess story was still being recorded in textbooks, while many businessmen regarded him


    as their life goal and a business legend.


    A big round of thunderous apuse was given to this god-like man.


    Zeke suddenly smiled.


    A pawn I''ve arbitrarily ced has now grown to such a towering height. I''m amazed.
