Chapter 1106


    Lucille stood up and said, “Alright, I shall take my leave now. See you soon.”


    She left in a rush like how she came, leaving Lacey in confusion.


    Has Mdm. Williams really changed her mind? But it seems quite surreal.


    Maybe she wants to cooperate with Linton Group after seeing our potential.


    Not giving the matter any further thought, Lacey kept the proposal carefully.


    She was finally going to marry Zeke! Her efforts were not wasted after all.


    The news of the Williams family reconciling with Zeke and giving Lacey betrothal gifts was all over


    Atheville by evening.


    The union of the prominent Williams family and the rising Linton Group would surely elevate both


    parties up the socialdder!


    Zeke was chatting with his parents in his new house when he received a phone call from his


    subordinate.


    When Zeke was informed of the news, the first thing that came to his mind was that it was all a


    conspiracy.


    After telling his parents, Diego and Lennon, the news, they both agreed with Zeke that there was


    definitely something up the Williams family’s sleeves again.


    “Let’s go back,” Zeke said.


    The three of them reached Linton Group soon.


    Lacey stood up immediately to greet them, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams. Please have a seat. I’ll fetch


    you a cup of tea.”


    Lennon hurriedly stopped her, “Lacey, don’t trouble yourself with that. Come sit with Mom.”


    Lacey blushed when her future mother-inw addressed herself as ‘Mom.’ She then sat across


    Lennon.


    Lennon asked, “Lacey, did the Williams family give you betrothal gifts?”


    Lacey asked in puzzlement, “Don’t you know about it? That’s impossible! Are you saying that they


    didn’t inform you beforehand?”


    Zeke shook his head. “We really know nothing about it. Can you show me the written wedding


    proposal, Lacey?”


    “Sure.” Lacey realized that something might be amiss as she handed Zeke the proposal.


    After reading it, Zeke drew a sharp breath. “As expected, there’s something fishy about it.”


    “Is there?” Astounded, Lacey pressed on, “What’s wrong? I didn’t see any problems when I read it just


    now.”


    Zeke replied calmly, “It vaguely states that the betrothal gifts are from the Williams family instead of


    specifying me as the groom.”


    Lacey was bewildered. “It’s only a tiny detail. Surely it isn’t something serious, is it?”


    Zeke sighed. “I hope this is not one of their tricks.”


    In fact, Zeke guessed that the Williams family had heard the rumor that Lacey was the daughter of Ares


    and wanted one of their own to marry her for the benefit of the family.

    However, he didn’t tell Lacey about it because he didn’t want her to worry.


    Lacey kept the proposal cautiously. “Mr. and Mrs. Williams, I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you with our


    wedding preparations. We’re not sure how to do it.”


    Diego and Lennon nodded smilingly. “Don’t worry. You can leave that to us.”


    For the next few days, Zeke kept an eye on the movements of the Thisleton family.


    With Ares managing the household, the Thisletons were powerful enough to pose a threat to Zeke and


    Eurasia. Hence, he had to take it seriously.


    Lacey was still busy withpany affairs at the moment, but she would asionally fantasize about


    her wedding.


    Three dayster, when Zeke had just left Linton Group, a groom’s procession stopped in front of the


    The lively and festive vibe of the procession attracted the attention of many employees of thepany.


    Lacey walked out to see themotion.


    Everyone was curiously discussing who was getting married that day when a man ced a bridal


    sedan in front of Lacey and said, “Let’s wee the bride!”
