Chapter 1416


    “Emily?” Daniel and Hannah were stunned on the spot. “Howe it’s you? Why are you here?”


    “Duh, I was the one who invited you guys,” Emily said. “Why do you think I’m here?”


    Daniel could tell that Emily was up to no good. “Why did you call us here?” he asked coldly.


    “Oh, I’m about to demolish New Linton Group. As elders, don’t you guys want to take ast look at


    Linton Group?” Emily scoffed.


    What?


    Emily’s words floored the Hintons and the Williams.


    The New Linton Group building is about to be demolished? Why?


    Daniel looked at Lacey. “Lacey, is this true? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”


    Lacey sighed and nodded. “Mom, Dad, you don’t have to worry about this. I can handle it myself.”


    “No, I firmly disagree,” Daniel said, “This building is the private property of Zeke and Lacey. No one can


    demolish it without their consent.”


    “I am the Great Marshal’s wife now. My thoughts represent the will of the military,” Emily said, “I want


    this building. If you dare to protest, you’re going against the military and this constitutes an act of


    treason! Do you believe that I can arrest you right now?”


    “You...” Daniel was so angry that he stuttered.


    “Don’t worry,” Diegoforted him, “Lacey, give Zeke a call, quickly. He has served the military for


    decades. He should be given credit for his hard work, if not merit. He may be able to save the building


    if he steps in.”


    Lacey looked embarrassed. “Zeke went on an urgent mission and has been out of contact for several


    days. I can’t reach him.”


    Despair washed over everyone.


    “So, Lacey, have you decided?” Emily taunted, “Will you take twenty million and scram, or will you not


    get a penny and be banished from Atheville?”


    Lacey gritted her teeth. “Even if I were to tear the building down, you won’t get anything from this.”


    “Oh, really?” Emily replied, “That’s not up to you to decide. I’ve suddenly changed my mind now. Not


    only do I want this building, but I also want you to present it to me in public at the opening ceremony of


    Emperor’s Residence.”


    “You f**king wish!” Dawn couldn’t stand her anymore and cursed. “How about I present you with your


    mother’s ashes?”


    “Haha, I’d love to see how long you can keep that up,” Emily snickered. “As far as I know, Zeke didn’t


    leave to carry out any emergency orders; he has absconded from his crime.”


    “That’s sheer bull,” Nancy snarled, “This is nder. If you can’t produce any evidence, I’ll sue you for


    nder right now. You must be a fool to think that no one can deal with you just because you’re the


    Great Marshal’s wife. If I were to mobilize the power of the masses, not just you, but even the new


    Great Marshal will see his downfall.”


    Instead of getting riled up, Emily simply sneered, “Easy there. I’m not finished yet. My man, that is the


    Great Marshal, has sufficient evidence to prove that Zeke has colluded with foreign countries and


    disclosed state secrets. He’s about to issue a nationwide arrest warrant against Zeke.”

    “Shut up,” Diego rebuked. “My son is loyal to the country and he will never do anything against


    Eurasia.”


    “My father-inw is a King ss warrior, and my husband is the Great Marshal,” countered Emily,


    “Whose words carry greater weight? Yours? Or those of the King ss warrior and the Great


    Marshal?”


    Emily’s words rendered everyone speechless.


    If Ares and Julian have joined forces to nder Zeke, there will be no other way to remove the stigma


    from his name.


    “If you don’t want Zeke to be reduced to a traitor, you’d better transfer this building to me in public at


    our opening ceremony,” Emily said. “This is yourst chance. I hope you will consider it carefully.”
