Chapter 57 I Will Listen to Zeke
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard what Lily had said.
What the hell is going on?
Uncle Jeremy had spent so much effort to get his hands on the steel mill! Why did he decide to return it to us all of a sudden?
What exactly are they up to?
Lacey kept her guard up because she was afraid they might be up to no good. “Why have you guys decided to return it to us all of a sudden after what you guys did to get the steel mill?”
Lily replied, “We managed to gain a better understanding of the operation of the steel mill and realized that you're better suited to manage the mill.”
A weight was lifted off Lacey's shoulders when she heard Lily's words.
She immediately agreed. “Alright, I'll...”
However, Zeke interrupted Lacey before she could finish her sentence. “If you want to return the steel mill to us, I'm afraid it won't be such an easy task.”
“Have you forgotten what I told you guys back when we were at the steel mill? Get on your knees and beg us.”
Lily went berserk all of a sudden. “Zeke, you better watch your mouth!”
“You should be grateful that we're returning the steel mill to you guys! Stop pushing your luck!”
“I will dismantle the steel mill instead of returning it to you guys if you keep pushing your luck!”
Zeke sneered, “If that's what you wish, by all means, please proceed.”
Thump!
As soon as Zeke finished his sentence, he closed the door.
Lacey and her parents were anxious because of Zeke's action.
They're willing to return the steel mill to us, but Zeke doesn't seem to want it back! I can't afford to lose the steel mill!
Lacey scolded Zeke, “What the hell do you want?”
Zeke replied with a smile on his face, “Don't worry. I'm sure she will get on her knees today.”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Someone knocked on the door again.
Lacey answered the door once more.
Lily stopped putting on an arrogant front. “Lacey, please allow me to apologize for what my dad and I have done. We're the ones at fault.”
“Can you please forget about the part where I have to kneel? After all, we're a family...”
“A family? Why didn't this particular concept crossed your mind back when you were there to take over the steel mill by force?” asked Zeke.
“I'll give you one last chance. Get on your knees, or we won't answer the door anymore.”
Thump!
Should we believe Zeke?
