Lucille stood up and said, “Alright, I shall take my leave now. See you soon.”

She left in a rush like how she came, leaving Lacey in confusion.

Has Mdm. Williams really changed her mind? But it seems quite surreal.

Maybe she wants to cooperate with Linton Group after seeing our potential.

Not giving the matter any further thought, Lacey kept the proposal carefully.

She was finally going to marry Zeke! Her efforts were not wasted after all.

The news of the Williams family reconciling with Zeke and giving Lacey betrothal gifts was all over Atheville by evening.

The union of the prominent Williams family and the rising Linton Group would surely elevate both parties up the social ladder!

Zeke was chatting with his parents in his new house when he received a phone call from his subordinate.

When Zeke was informed of the news, the first thing that came to his mind was that it was all a conspiracy.

After telling his parents, Diego and Lennon, the news, they both agreed with Zeke that there was definitely something up the Williams family’s sleeves again.

“Let’s go back,” Zeke said.

The three of them reached Linton Group soon.

Lacey stood up immediately to greet them, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams. Please have a seat. I’ll fetch you a cup of tea.”

Lennon hurriedly stopped her, “Lacey, don’t trouble yourself with that. Come sit with Mom.”

Lacey blushed when her future mother-in-law addressed herself as ‘Mom.’ She then sat across Lennon.

Lennon asked, “Lacey, did the Williams family give you betrothal gifts?”

Lacey asked in puzzlement, “Don’t you know about it? That’s impossible! Are you saying that they didn’t inform you beforehand?”

Zeke shook his head. “We really know nothing about it. Can you show me the written wedding proposal, Lacey?”

“Sure.” Lacey realized that something might be amiss as she handed Zeke the proposal.

After reading it, Zeke drew a sharp breath. “As expected, there’s something fishy about it.”

“Is there?” Astounded, Lacey pressed on, “What’s wrong? I didn’t see any problems when I read it just now.”

Zeke replied calmly, “It vaguely states that the betrothal gifts are from the Williams family instead of specifying me as the groom.”

Lacey was bewildered. “It’s only a tiny detail. Surely it isn’t something serious, is it?”

Zeke sighed. “I hope this is not one of their tricks.”
