Chapter 1417


    With that, Emily turned and left, leaving Lacey and her family looking at each other in a torn state.


    “Forget it. It doesn’t matter if we give up on Linton Group.” It was Lacey who spoke first.


    “Zeke cares about his reputation. His lifelong reputation is more important than his life. It’s a good deal


    to exchange Linton Group for Zeke’s chastity, isn’t it?”


    Everyone was silent.


    Although they were reluctant to give up the building, they didn’t have a choice.


    Finally, Lacey sighed. “Emily is targeting me alone. I’ll just go by myself. Don’t follow me and get


    humiliated.”


    “No,” Dawn refused resolutely. “We’re sisters. We stay together for better or for worse. How could I let


    you bear the responsibility all by yourself?


    Nancy also stood beside Lacey. “Alright, Lacey, enough with the foolish talks. Let’s weather this storm


    together.


    Knowing that she couldn’t persuade the two women, Lacey stopped trying.

    But she remained adamant that both parents go home first.


    Emily will definitely humiliate us to death.


    It’s better the elders don’t follow, lest they get angry and wind up copsing.


    The four elderly parents were originally worried about the youngsters and insisted on following them,


    but with Lacey not taking no for an answer, they had no choice but to wait outside.


    Lacey, Dawn, and Nancy walked across the street.


    Emily’s newpany was called Emperor Group, but insiders were ustomed to calling it Emperor’s


    Residence.


    They all knew that Julian wasn’t just going to build a business empire, but a powerhouse like Prince’s


    Residence.


    It wasn’t an understatement that the power of a King ss warrior and the Great Marshal was


    significant.


    Before the ceremony started, the auditorium was already overcrowded with guests.


    And those who came were all big shots, the ultra-rich and powerful.


    Once Lacey, Dawn, and Nancy entered the venue, they were arranged to be seated in a position in the


    far corner.


    The auditorium was bustling with noise and excitement, but the threedies were drowning in misery.


    They lowered their heads without saying a word. They felt so awkward that they wished the ground


    could swallow them whole.


    Right then, a familiar voice red in their ears, “Who let you in? Get out of here.”


    The three women looked up and saw that it was Mary, the former head of human resources of Linton


    Group, chasing them out.


    She was the first to turn against Linton Group and submit to Emily three days ago.


    “Get lost, you traitor!” Dawn refuted, “You have no right to talk to us.”


    Mary sneered. “Jeez, Director Castaneda. You gotta learn to watch your mouth. This is not a ce for


    you to behave like a barbarian. I’m an executive under Ms. Clemons now, and I am in charge of this


    grand opening ceremony. You showing up here is my responsibility. I didn’t invite you, so get the hell


    out now before I call security.”


    “Linton Group is ashamed to have hired you!” Nancy snapped, “I was even the one who interviewed


    you at that time. It’s because you told me that both your parents have died, and you were too poor to


    afford the funeral expenses that I hired you. Who would have thought that you would turn out to be a


    despicable opportunist?”


    Nancy did not stop there. “And who would have thought that you’re the b**ch who seduces everyone


    from thepany’s executives to security guards? If your employees find out that their head is a


    whore... Jeez, I wonder...” Mary was hit right at her sore spot; She was incandescent with rage.


    “Shut the hell up! Security, take them away!”


    Themotion rmed many guests, who looked over kept wagging their tongues.


    Emily, who had also heard the noise, quickly came forward. “What’s going on?”
