Joshua was puzzled. What did I say?

“What do you mean, Grandma?”

She replied, “Joshua, if Lacey Hinton marries you, you will be the son-in-law of the Thisletons. Then, we will have the world at our feet!”

Joshua did not know whether to laugh or cry at his grandmother’s suggestion. “Grandma, everyone knows that Zeke and Lacey love each other deeply. It’s impossible for me to snatch her away from Zeke!”

Lucille chuckled. “Don’t worry. I have a plan that will work certainly.”

Joshua frowned. “Grandma, even if we force Lacey to marry me, what if there’s no affection between us and she takes revenge on us when she returns to the Thisletons?”

She snapped, “Affection can be cultivated over time. I believe you can make that happen. Furthermore, she won’t be able to lay a finger on us once the two of you have a child together!”


Joshua was delighted with the plan. “Okay, Grandma! I’m willing to marry Lacey for the Williams family! I heard that they haven’t slept together yet. This is wonderful!”

Joshua had lusted after Lacey for quite a while now, but he could not do anything because Lacey already had Zeke.

Finally, my opportunity is here!

Lucille ordered, “Prepare the betrothal gifts for Lacey at once! I shall deliver them to her myself.”

Intending to tamper with the betrothal gifts, she decided to visit Lacey when Zeke and his parents were out of the house to prevent their plot from being discovered.

That day, whilst Lacey was busy working, a group of uninvited guests showed up with gifts suddenly.

It was none other than Lucille Williams and her family.

Lacey tensed up immediately as she knew that the Williams must have something up their sleeves.

Lacey asked indifferently, “What are all of you doing here?”

Lucille smiled warmly at her. “Hello, Lacey. Shall we discuss this over tea?”

Lacey was stunned for a moment as she pondered the reason for Lucille’s sudden change in attitude.
