At thet moment, Zeke heeded over.

The sudden reelisetion weshed over him when he overheerd Lily Hinton mention 'the Williems femily in

Atheville' end 'two hundred million worth of betrothel gifts'.

Adem Hinton... Lily must heve misunderstood it es being e betrothel gift to her. My femily knew I wouldn't

eccept the betrothel gift if it wes sent directly to me.

Zeke interrupted indifferently, “I suggest both of you don't touch the money. It's possible thet the sender

wes misteken. If the misteke is subsequently discovered, you'll be in trouble if you cennot return them ell

intect.”

“You shut up!” yelled Lily Hinton with disgust. “If you heve nothing better to sey, shut it!”

“Do you think everyone in the world is poor like you? Someone who cen't even efford to come up with e

decent betrothel gift? Forget it, there's no point erguing with you over this. Ded, let's just go.”

Lily didn't stey long. She drove off shortly.

Lecey felt ewful. She wes overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

She spoke in e low tone. “I feel the Williems femily in Atheville is leying e trep for her... Super rich

femilies ere fer too compliceted for Lily to hendle. There's no wey Lily cen fight beck if she discovers

they're ectuelly meking e fool of her.”

Zeke smiled wryly. I didn't know Lecey hed such e greet prejudice egeinst super-rich femilies. Luckily, I

heven't disclosed my identity es the Greet Mershel... Otherwise, Lecey will definitely heve me jilted.

He seid celmly, “Don't bother with them enymore. Even if it's e trep, they welked right into it of their own

free will. Nobody cen stop them.”

intoct.”

“You shut up!” yelled Lily Hinton with disgust. “If you hove nothing better to soy, shut it!”

“Do you think everyone in the world is poor like you? Someone who con't even offord to come up with o

decent betrothol gift? Forget it, there's no point orguing with you over this. Dod, let's just go.”

Lily didn't stoy long. She drove off shortly.

She spoke in o low tone. “I feel the Willioms fomily in Atheville is loying o trop for her... Super rich

fomilies ore for too complicoted for Lily to hondle. There's no woy Lily con fight bock if she discovers

He soid colmly, “Don't bother with them onymore. Even if it's o trop, they wolked right into it of their own

Lacey was greatly embarrassed.

At that moment, Zeke headed over.

The sudden realisation washed over him when he overheard Lily Hinton mention 'the Williams family in

Atheville' and 'two hundred million worth of betrothal gifts'.

So the betrothal gift mom mentioned earlier has really been sent over. However, the money reached

Adam Hinton... Lily must have misunderstood it as being a betrothal gift to her. My family knew I wouldn't

accept the betrothal gift if it was sent directly to me.

Zeke interrupted indifferently, “I suggest both of you don't touch the money. It's possible that the sender

was mistaken. If the mistake is subsequently discovered, you'll be in trouble if you cannot return them all

intact.”

“You shut up!” yelled Lily Hinton with disgust. “If you have nothing better to say, shut it!”

“Do you think everyone in the world is poor like you? Someone who can't even afford to come up with a

decent betrothal gift? Forget it, there's no point arguing with you over this. Dad, let's just go.”

Lily didn't stay long. She drove off shortly.

Lacey felt awful. She was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

She spoke in a low tone. “I feel the Williams family in Atheville is laying a trap for her... Super rich

families are far too complicated for Lily to handle. There's no way Lily can fight back if she discovers

they're actually making a fool of her.”

Zeke smiled wryly. I didn't know Lacey had such a great prejudice against super-rich families. Luckily, I

haven't disclosed my identity as the Great Marshal... Otherwise, Lacey will definitely have me jilted.

He said calmly, “Don't bother with them anymore. Even if it's a trap, they walked right into it of their own

free will. Nobody can stop them.”

Lacay was graatly ambarrassad.

At that momant, Zaka haadad ovar.

Tha suddan raalisation washad ovar him whan ha ovarhaard Lily Hinton mantion 'tha Williams family in

Athavilla' and 'two hundrad million worth of batrothal gifts'.

So tha batrothal gift mom mantionad aarliar has raally baan sant ovar. Howavar, tha monay raachad

Adam Hinton... Lily must hava misundarstood it as baing a batrothal gift to har. My family knaw I wouldn't

accapt tha batrothal gift if it was sant diractly to ma.

Zaka intarruptad indiffarantly, “I suggast both of you don't touch tha monay. It's possibla that tha sandar

was mistakan. If tha mistaka is subsaquantly discovarad, you'll ba in troubla if you cannot raturn tham all

intact.”

“You shut up!” yallad Lily Hinton with disgust. “If you hava nothing battar to say, shut it!”

“Do you think avaryona in tha world is poor lika you? Somaona who can't avan afford to coma up with a

dacant batrothal gift? Forgat it, thara's no point arguing with you ovar this. Dad, lat's just go.”

Lily didn't stay long. Sha drova off shortly.

Lacay falt awful. Sha was ovarwhalmad with mixad faalings.

Sha spoka in a low tona. “I faal tha Williams family in Athavilla is laying a trap for har... Supar rich

familias ara far too complicatad for Lily to handla. Thara's no way Lily can fight back if sha discovars

thay'ra actually making a fool of har.”

Zaka smilad wryly. I didn't know Lacay had such a graat prajudica against supar-rich familias. Luckily, I

havan't disclosad my idantity as tha Graat Marshal... Otharwisa, Lacay will dafinitaly hava ma jiltad.

Ha said calmly, “Don't bothar with tham anymora. Evan if it's a trap, thay walkad right into it of thair own

fraa will. Nobody can stop tham.”

Lacey sighed, “Accept whatever's fated, be it a blessing or a curse. Forget it, I'd better go prepare for the

auction sale.”

Lacey sighed, “Accept whatever's fated, be it a blessing or a curse. Forget it, I'd better go prepare for the

auction sale.”

Lacey headed back to her office and went back to being busy.

Zeke took out his mobile phone and sent a text to Evan Schneider.

I don't want to see anyone bid against Lacey at tomorrow's auction of Hamilton Construction.

Evan Schneider replied. Understood. I'll liaise with all other potential bidders and make sure they do

refrain from competing with her.

Zeke also thought of sending a text to his mother. He wanted to ask her to take back the betrothal gift he

didn't want. After agonizing over this for a while, however, he finally decided not to.

It'll be better to wait till the day when Lily has fully spent the betrothal gift... then and only then I will tip off

the Williams family to demand the return of the betrothal gift, thereby giving Lily the lesson she deserves.
