Hmm?

Lacey questioned, “Didn't Intercontinental Group receive over three hundred billion recently? How is it possible that they have no money?”

Zeke explained, “Oh, the three hundred billion is now ours. It's their compensation to us.”

She was still not convinced. Glaring at Zeke, Lacey said, “Hah! As if I would believe you. I doubt Intercontinental Group is so kind to give us the money.”

Zeke replied, “Well, I can return the lump sum to them anytime if you don't trust me.”

Lacey was unswerving. “Go ahead and give them the money back. I wonder when you can change this annoying habit of yours and stop boasting.”

Zeke was rendered speechless as he felt an impending headache coming up.

I suppose Lacey won't believe that I've taken over the entire Mixtel family since she thinks that I lied to her about the three hundred billion.

He tried testing the water. “Lacey, what do you think if I said the Mitxel family is part of us now? Would you believe my words?”

“Of course I would!” Lacey replied at once.


“Huh? You'd believe this wholeheartedly and not the fact that Intercontinental Group has compensated us three hundred billion?” Zeke was puzzled.

Lacey shook her head in response. “It looks like you'll never stop boasting for as long as you live.”

Zeke was so frustrated. He did not know what to do with her.

Faced with a livid Great Marshal, the consequences would probably be grave.

Shortly after, Dawn stepped forward from the crowd and posed a question to Lacey. “Are you sure you don't want the three hundred billion as well as Mitxel Group, Lacey? Can I have them instead?”

Her words sent a shudder through Lacey. She stared at Dawn and asked, “What do you mean by that, Dawnie?”

“Nothing much. I heard you ask Zeke to return the money and even said that Mitxel Group can't be ours. Hence, I thought you could hand me the money and gift me the company too. You know, it's better to benefit me than an outsider.”

“Hang on a second and tell me straight to my face. Both Mitxel Group and the three hundred billion are for real?” Lacey immediately grabbed Dawn's shoulders and clarified her doubts, word by word.

Dawn smiled and nodded. “Absolutely! Why would I lie to you?”

Hearing that, Lacey dashed to her office.

Zeke yelled, “Where are you going, Lacey?”

“Isn't it obvious? To count the money, of course!” she answered.

The crowd fell silent and let her be.

Meanwhile, in the top-floor bedroom of Sheldon's luxury mansion.

The room was completely sealed off, without a single gap for any light to shine through.

Sheldon cautiously knelt before his father, or to be more accurate, his master.
