Chapter 1221


    “Sir, I... I’m the current head of Linton Group.”


    “Daryl Chadley, do you admit to your crimes?” Wolf’s Greed boomed.


    Daryl waspletely shocked. “Wait. I... What crimes did Imit?”


    Wolf’s Greed answered immediately, “You’re suspected of stealing military funds as well as coercing


    the representative from the military. Is it clear enough for you now?”


    “I... I didn’t” Daryl Chadley stammered.


    “I’ve been framed. Since when did I steal military funds and coerce the representative from the


    military?”


    “The military seized control of some of Linton Group’s shares, but you used underhanded methods to


    steal them back. Doesn’t it count as usurping military assets? Moreover, the previous head of Linton


    Group’s board of directors, Lacey, is the military representative. Do you deny having any ill intent


    towards her?”


    Everyone knew that Linton Group was partnering with Reinz Pharmaceutical.


    Reinz Pharmaceutical used technological means to gain part of the shares of Linton Group’s medical


    branch. Although the shares only amounted to 0.5% and could be regarded as negligible, it was


    enough to secure the noose around Daryl Chadley’s neck.


    Presently, Daryl was but a mass of fear in human form.


    Either one of his charges was enough to have him tried at the military court.


    One step in, and I’m nevering out.


    “Lacey... Ms. Hinton, I was wrong. I admit I was wrong.” Daryl anxiously pleaded with Lacey Hinton.


    “I shouldn’t have treated you so badly. I deserve anything you want to do to me. Scold me, hit me, so


    long as it appeases you. Just please don’t send me to military jail. I’m begging you.”


    Lacey sighed and replied, “No one can escape the long arm of thew. No one is exempted from being


    punished for their wrongdoings. You need to reap what you sowed.”


    With that said, Daryl had nothing to offer in return, and he was promptly led away by Wolf’s Greed.


    After Daryl Chadley’s departure, the site was significantly quieter.


    Zeke Williams handed his phone to Lacey Hinton with a smile on his face. “Lacey, here’s a gift for you


    tomemorate us resuming our marriage.”


    “You’re giving me some lousy phone?” Lacey asked, slightly upset.


    “Of course not. Look at what’s on the phone.” Zeke said with amusement.


    Lacey peered at the phone and was instantly dumbfounded.


    “Oh my god, you’re the King of Darkness who bought all of Linton Group’s shares. You... You’re giving


    me the shares?”


    Zeke replied, “Linton Group was built by us from the ground up in the first ce. I told you, I won’t allow


    anyone to take what’s ours!”


    Lacey nodded solemnly. “We started Linton Group from nothing and made it into the industry leader it


    is today. Thispany is the fruit of our efforts. From now on, I shall protect thepany with my life.”


    “Silly girl. Linton Group is but peanuts to me!” Zeke gently caressed Lacey’s long locks.

    “But you’re my whole world. How could you stake my entire world on mere peanuts?”


    Lacey’s cheeks flushed.


    I’ve never heard more romantic words.


    “Let’s go back, Lacey.” Zeke said.


    “Okay!”


    “Let me go with you guys.” Wolf’s Greed quickly suggested.


    “Just in case you need me, I’ll only be an arm’s length away.”


    Zeke nodded in agreement. “Okay. I’m heading to the Linton Group now. The reaper’se to collect a


    little debt, so it’ll be good for you toe along. I may need your help.”


    “Sure!” Wolf’s Greed agreed gleefully.


    It was only when they arrived at the entrance did they remember their initial reason for being there.


    They wanted to renew their marriage.


    All of their personal documents were still with the clerk at the registration counter.


    The two of them were about to turn back and retrieve their papers when they spotted the clerk dashing


    towards them.
