Chapter 1177


    Lacey did not want to open the door for him at first, but when she thought about the way he helped her


    today, she gritted her teeth and opened the door.

    Julian, who was in his wheelchair, was looking at Lacey with a sincere expression.


    “Lacey, the ceremony is about to begin. Let’s go now. It’ll be terrible if we’rete.”


    Huh? Lacey was bewildered. “It’s only two in the morning. We’re leaving this early?”


    Julian exined, “This is the best time for us to pray to our ancestors. It’s been our family practice for


    decades.”


    “Okay.” Lacey believed in Julian’s words and followed him to the praying ceremony.


    It was dead silent in the Thisleton Manor, and there was not a single living soul around.


    Lacey queried, “Where are the rest? Why aren’t they preparing themselves for the ceremony yet?”


    Julian answered, “They’ve already left for the ceremony. They didn’t wake you. They wanted you to be


    late so that you’ll be punished.”


    Lacey sighed.


    She knew that the Thisleton’s did not like her, and so they intentionally excluded her out of their circle.


    Luckily, Julian had been stunned by Zeke’s prowess, and the former was friendly to her.


    After both of them entered the car, they left thepounds of the Thisleton Manor.


    However, Lacey realized something amiss on their way there.


    It had been more than an hour, but it seemed like they were nowhere close to their destination.


    In fact, the car was on the expressway, driving toward the direction of Atheville.


    She had overheard the Thisleton’s mentioning that their ancestral grave was not far from the Thisleton


    Manor.


    It was impossible for it to be located out of the province.


    She carefully asked, “Julian, this isn’t the way to the Thisleton ancestral grave, is it?”


    Julian sneered, “Who told you that we’re heading to the Thisleton ancestral grave?”


    Huh? Lacey was baffled. “Didn’t you say we are going to the praying ceremony? W-Where are we


    heading to?”


    Julianughed, “Where else could we be heading to? I’m personally sending you to hell to meet our


    ancestors!”


    Oh no! Instantly, Lacey felt a chill enveloping her body.


    She should have known that Julian would not help her.


    It turned out he had only helped her to make Lacey lower her guard against him.


    Lacey furiously pounded on the car windows, trying to escape, but the car doors were locked, and she


    could not open them.


    She hurriedly dug out her phone to call Zeke.
