Great Marshals
Chapter 9

Indeed, Emily had that thought in her mind.

Of course, only if he managed to find out if the money belonged to Zeke.

"Zeke Williams, I'm the one who stays by your side when you're at your lowest!" Emily's voice shook. "You're gonna dump me now because you're rich? It can't be!"

Zeke sighed. "Then do you want to come back with me?"

"Yes, I'm ready!" Emily is so happy. "With these five million, you deserve me!"

"Good, let's register our wedding now" Zeke said. "Right, did you bring cash? I don't bring money now. I think it costs about ten dollars to get that certificate."

"What do you mean?" Emily's dumbfounded. "Isn't there five million here?"

"This money is not mine. In fact, I'm very poor | haven't had breakfast yet," Zeke said.

"That money isn't yours? You're too poor to buy breakfast?" Emily was surprised.

"F! You're still the same bastard. Well, what did I say? How can you get five million when you can't even afford us three hundred thousand more? You want to marry me, even if you're broke? You want!"

Zeke shook his head slightly.

Why didn't I realize that Emily was so arrogant before?

"That money isn't yours? Then where did you get this five million?" ask Lacey curious.

Zeke is mysterious. "Have you forgotten my identity?"

"Aren't you a salesperson in our factory? What does this have to do with five million?"

Pfft!

Emily laughs. "Why don't you know the shame of you, an annoying salesman at a small factory, to ask me to marry you. What a joke!"

Knowing that Zeke was inferior to her, Emily felt a little relieved.

"This is the order I received for our factory today" Zeke said, handing the contract to Lacey.

"These five million are down payments."

Whahuh?

Lacey accepted the contract in confusion.

How big is this order to give us a five million down payment?

After reading the contract, Lacey cried in joy.

"Steel factory saved, Mom. Steel factory rescued. We don't have to go bankrupt."

"No way!" Emily ran over in panic, seizing the contract.

After reading it, his eyes turned red.

Hundred million. Zeke actually got a hundred million deal from the Schneider family, the richest family in Oakheart City!

For a hundred million deal, net profit is at least ten million.

That's ten million!

Zeke is a multi-millionaire!

Emily was demoralized after being hit with several blows.

"Zeke Williams" he shouted. "You ... You just cheated me!"

Zeke shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't fool you. I'm just a small salesman. This order belongs to Lacey, and it has nothing to do with me."

"I don't care" cried Emily hysterically. "Let's get married, Zeke. Let's register our wedding now. Give me this order. I can even take you to the Grand Marshal's Great Returning Ceremony."

If this order was given to him, he could earn a commission of ten million.

Even though he had the Great Marshal invitation card in his hand, it could only carry his insignificant strength and not a solid ten million.

Zeke ignored him and walked towards Lacey. "Lacey, stop crying. The Schneider family order is urgent, so hurry up and get started."

Lacey immediately wiped away her tears. "Yes, let's start. Let's get to work."

With that said, Lacey encourages her employees to start working, but Emily won't let them go.

"Lacey, please. I beg you," Emily pleaded, rushing towards them. "Give Zeke back to me, will you?"

"Zeke, the invitation card will give us strength and status, and in addition to your order as the initial capital, we can establish a large company. We are a couple made in heaven. Please give me a chance and give yourself a chance!"

Zeke looked at Lacey cunningly. "You can't sell me for this plastic fraternity, can you?"

Lacy smiled between her tears. "Excuse me! | haven't even agreed to marry you."

"You don't have to beg me, Emily. If Zeke wants to come back to you, he can come back anytime."

Emily glanced at Zeke.

"I'm giving you a chance, but you don't appreciate it. There's nothing I can do about it." Zeke shrugged, looking up at the sky.

Now there was no hope for reconciliation, he could only accept the next best thing.

"Lacey, this time you have to provide supplies for my company" he shouted, pleading.

"Otherwise, the Hamilton family won't spare my life! You don't want to see me killed by the Hamilton family, do you?"

Lacey's heart softened. He sighed and nodded.

"Thank you very much." Emily forced a smile and ran away. She was afraid Lacey would retract her words.

"Will you blame me for helping him?" Lacey looked at Zeke carefully.

Zeke shook his head. "You know what I like about you?"

"What?" ask Lacey shyly.

"Your kindness" replied Zeke.

Lacey stomped her legs irritated. "Are you insinuating that I'm ugly?"

Zeke was at a loss for words.

A woman's heart changes like the weather in April.

Lacey angrily ignored Zeke and turned to her workers.

"Kids, let's get to work. I'll double your pay from today onwards."

The morale of the workers brightened as they hurriedly got into their positions.

"Thank you, Mr. Williams."

"Thank you, Mrs Williams."

Zeke happily threw a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes at an employee just because he was shouting 'Mrs. Williams.'

"Pff!" Lacey blushed.

Zeke's face shriveled as he looked at the ten strong men Emily had brought along.

"Are you guys done? No? Looks like you guys want me to do it alone, huh?"

Suddenly, one of them walked out of the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud, slapping himself with tears and snot.

"I was wrong. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have done that. Please save my life, sir."

Zeke sneered, "Try to get sympathy, eh? There is no deal! Leave a pair of hands and feet."

Hannah, who had been holding onto the briefcase, regained her composure, shouting, "No, no, no. Nay! Just let him slap himself a hundred times. Don't take his limbs."

Hannah is just an ordinary housewife. How could he bear to see that terrifying sight?

"Well, won't you thank my mother-in-law?" said Zeke.

The big man kowtowed to the ground, thanking him.

"Although I still disagree with this marriage, thank you for saving Lacey's steel mill" Hannah told Zeke with mixed emotions.

"I just did what I had to do" Zeke said.

After a moment of hesitation, Hannah spoke, "Emily's status will definitely rise after she attends the Grand Comeback Ceremony. In addition to the threat of the Hamilton family, you'll have a tough ride ahead, so be careful."

Zeke nodded, a hint of happiness radiating in his eyes.

The fundamental meaning of Hannah's words is that she will stop meddling in this marriage and let nature take its course. Therefore, he reminded her to be careful.

Zeke nodded, a hint of happiness radiating in his eyes.

"I'll put the money in the bank for you first, just in case you need it" Hannah said, knocking on her briefcase.

Suddenly recalling something, Zeke hurriedly took out a purple bank card from his pocket.

"This is a gift from me. Accept it. Take this card to deposit and withdraw money. You can enjoy VVIP treatment without having to wait in line. Her password is Lacey's birthday."

This purple bank card, called the Bauhinia Royal Card, was limited to ninety-nine copies worldwide.

Only noble families and elites are worthy of it, and they can spend a hundred million overdrafts.

Lacey gave the card one more time, her eyes twinkling.

The card looked familiar, as if he had seen it on TV before.

But he couldn't remember the details.

Hannah did not think much of it, and treated it as a regular VIP card. He took the card and left.

As soon as he left, a row of black private cars stopped in front of the steel factory with a group of men in suits walking over.

"Oh no," Lacey gulped.
