“Lacey, just let it go if it's too much to handle,” Daniel took a deep breath and said. “Your mother and I are happy as long as you and Zeke are safe and sound.”

Lacey nodded.

“I'll go with you,” Zeke said.

“Okay.”

As they walked to the door, Zeke suddenly turned around to talk to the older couple. “Don't worry. I'll be there if anything happens.”

Both Daniel and Hannah nodded simultaneously. They couldn't explain why, but they always felt as if Zeke could solve any crisis perfectly.

It was because Zeke had never once disappointed them.

On their way to the office, Zeke and Lacey learned about the situation through the phone.

The one who had orchestrated the whole coup-d'etat was Franky from the Forrest family.

“That's a good question. It depends on who the stranger is.”

“Don't tell me you really think you're more powerful than Mr. Schneider to the point that he fears you?”

“That's a fact.”
