“Humph. Who are you, a mere commoner, to object if the Thisleton family wants to acquire the Linton Group?”
“Zeke will never allow you to get away with it.”
Desperate, she had to drop Zeke’s name to strike fear in them.
“Zeke?!” Clyde scoffed.
“He is dead already. Well, he can object in hell for all he wants.”
Lacey’s heart skipped a beat.
Connor had told me that Zeke was dead just now. Now, Clyde is saying the same thing. Has Zeke really run into
some trouble?
In a trembling voice, she replied, “It’s impossible. You are lying to me. I just saw Zeke yesterday, and he was looking
fine. How can he be dead today!”

be able to beat everyone even when he is at his peak, much less now when he is disabled.”
With that, Clyde passed a confidential military document to Lacey.
After looking through the document, Lacey felt a chill rising from her feet to her head.
That confidential document is authentic. Zeke has really been evicted from the nation. He has made countless
enemies when he is in his best form. Now that he is injured and is only a mere commoner, that bunch of foreign
fighters will definitely grab the opportunity to kill him!
Many Thisletons were seeing Lacey for the first time, and they started to mock her.
“So she is the wife of the Great Marshal? She’s quite pretty indeed.”
“The Great Marshal must have fallen for her because of her looks and have been toying with her feelings only.
Otherwise, why doesn’t he go public with their relationship and merely put her in charge of a small company?”
“So what if she is his wife? The Great Marshal is dead now. She is back to being a commoner now.”
Lacey’s eyes turned red, and with tears streaming down her cheeks, she stood up to leave.
“It’s impossible. How can Zeke die? He has made great contributions to Eurasia. Eurasia won’t send him to his
death. I will go and find him now...”
But Clyde would not let her off so easily.
He signaled the security guards at the door to stop her from leaving.
“You can only leave after signing this transfer agreement.”
Clyde’s assistant passed Lacey a document immediately.
Without reading the document, she rejected flatly, “No way! Zeke has built the Linton Group painstakingly. I will
never give it to you.”
“That is not up to you. Security, force her to sign on it.”

Two security guards closed in on Lacey and grabbed her hands in a bid to force her to sign the document.
Suddenly, at the most critical moment, a voice rang out from the entrance, “Stop that right now!”
The voice was booming and sent shock waves across everyone in the room.
Instinctively, they turned to look at the doorway and could only catch a glimpse of two shiny daggers flying towards
the two security guards.
“Ah!”
Cries of pain rang out from the security guards.
The daggers had pierced through their hands, which were grabbing Lacey, effectively nailing them on the table.
The document was stained red by the blood oozing from their hands.
Gosh!
Everyone stood up in shock.
Oh gosh, what is going on? Hasn’t Zeke been evicted and ambushed by his foreign enemies? Why is he back alive?
