Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 5

Daniel was startled, not understanding why the Hinton family had overreacted.

“You passed out, Daniel. You don't even know what's going on. You must be mistaken,” Hannah started. He's just a useless, poor ba****d. How could he have saved your life? Don't be humble, director. We all know the truth. It was Jackson who asked you for this favor to save Daniel, isn't it?”

The director frowned. “As I said, I did nothing. It was all my master's doing. Besides, who's Jackson? He didn't call me either. Oh, right, my phone rang twice just now, but the line cut off before I could answer. I'm not sure if it was him.”

Suddenly realizing something, Lacey hurriedly called Jackson and turned on the speakerphone.

“Jackson, did you manage to get in touch with the director?”

“I did,” Jackson replied. “But he's on a business trip and won't be able to make it back in time. I'll contact another doctor for you—”

“You liar!” Lacey yelled. “You're a big fat liar! The director is standing right in front of me now!”

Jackson felt a little embarrassed. “Is it? Maybe I didn't communicate well with him.”

“Piss off!” Lacey shouted. “You can't fool me! You scum! Don't bother contacting me in the future.”

“F**k you!” Jackson's fury sprang to life. “How dare you scold me?!”

“I'm warning you; we're getting married on the first next month no matter what. If you have the guts to walk away, I'll destroy the Hinton family. Also, stay away from that uncivilized man who you met today, or I'll send someone to kill him.”

Beep!

Lacey hung up.

There was a dead silence after that.

The dust had now settled that Jackson, whom they placed their hopes on, didn't take Daniel's life into his heart.

But it was Zeke, whom they spurn and reviled, who had turned the tide.

The Hinton family were overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

“Master, I bet you're hungry—” Daniel had yet to figure out that the young man before him was Zeke Williams.

“Shut up!” Hannah shouted. “He has no right to be your master.”

“You're just a woman. What do you know?” Daniel chided. “I would have died today if it wasn't for him.”

“Open your damned eyes, you fool. He's Zeke Williams. The one who caused your heart disease to relapse.”

Daniel was astonished. He looked like he was about to have another heart attack again.

Master is actually the despicable 'future son-in-law'? Why is this melodrama happening to me?

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Even the director felt embarrassed for Daniel. “Uh... Haha, what a surprise. I didn't know Master is your son-in-law. You must have secretly learned medicine skills from him. I think you deserve to be the Head of Department with your capabilities. Get ready to step in.”

At that, the director turned around and walked away, not planning to meddle in their family affairs.

Daniel was wild with joy.

He didn't expect to be appointed Head of Department so easily.

But at the thought that he got this position because of Zeke, he couldn't exactly celebrate his victory in triumph.

After all, Jackson was the ideal son-in-law in his heart.

Emily and Madeleine were walking toward them from afar.

“Now that Hinton is at a critical stage, I don't believe the Hinton family will not concede,” Madeleine said.

“Hmph! I want the Hinton family to get on their knees and beg me like a dog,” Emily stated. Especially Zeke Williams, I want to rip his face apart.”
