Great Marshals
Chapter 61

Lacey and her family panicked.

Daniel immediately told Zeke, "Zeke, get the people from the Land Bureau to transfer the land to me instead!"

"I'll replace Lacey behind bars!"

Zeke shook his head. "Dad, no one will be sent to jail today."

Daniel asked, "Why?"

Zeke assured Daniel, "I believe in Lacey. He would never produce such a low-quality item to fulfill the contract."

"Lacey, are you sure the steel you gave the Schneider family met the necessary requirements?"

Lacey assured Zeke, "I myself have gone through each batch of orders myself. I'm sure each batch matches the required quality and benchmark."

"I'm sure everything will be fine if that's the case" Zeke said.

Hannah could not calm down. "But the Schneider family stated otherwise..."

Zeke said honestly, "This is the Schneider family's fault! Let's ask them to recoup our losses!"

Pfft!

Lily could no longer hold back her laughter. "Get the Schneider family to recoup your losses? Have you lost your mind?"

The police car stopped.

Two policemen get off the car followed by Jeremy.

Jeremy threw a provocative look at Daniel and sneered.

A bespectacled policeman asked, "We just received a call, and the man told us that Jeremy was not in charge of the steel mill. Instead, the person in charge is someone else."

"May I know who is the person in charge of that steel mill?"

Lacey and Daniel answered simultaneously, "It's me."

The cop with the glasses knit his eyebrows. "Who is actually the person in charge of that steel mill?"

Lily preceded the others before they could answer. "It's Lacey! Low quality steel is produced under his supervision. He just admitted it!"

Daniel and Hannah had terrible expressions on their faces.

Jeremy scolded Lacey, "Lacey, how can you do this to me? You're the reason I have to spend the night in the cell! You should not use such a method to make a profit!"

"Sir, please take him into custody and set him an example!"

"Such a law has no right to declare itself part of the Hinton family!"

Lacey clenched her teeth and put on a strong face.

"mm! I'm the one in charge of this steel mill! Please take me with you!"

"However, I will never admit that I have provided low-quality steel to the Schneider family!"

To everyone's surprise, the man bowed and saluted Lacey.

"Md. Lacey, we're actually here to make up for your loss."

"What happened was nothing, but a misunderstanding."

"The Schneider family called us and said it was their fault. They have proven that you are innocent because no defective product is actually detected."

"To express their sincerity, the Schneider family has offered one million worth of compensation."

"We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and inconvenience we have caused you. Please forgive us."

What the fuck?

Everyone was stunned suddenly as things changed drastically.

What happened was a misunderstanding?

Lacey doesn't have to spend her time behind bars? Instead, he asked the Schneider family to compensate them a million for their loss?

What the…

Jeremy and his family almost vomited blood.

Lacey thought she must have heard something. "Erm... Sir, I... I didn't hear anything, did I?"

The police immediately grabbed the portable safe that was in the police car. "Md. Lacey, you didn't hear anything. It's a million from the Schneider family."

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave now."

"Of course, if you're not happy with what happened before, you can sue us too."

Lacey suddenly stammered when she realized how lucky she was to be on her side.

"I-It's. I have no intention of suing anyone. A-again...I'm not affected either."

Jeremy felt a strong urge to slap someone when he heard his words.

You're not affected, but I spent the night in the cell because of you!

I deserve the wealth of the Schneider family! I will never give it to you!
