Lily left angrily.
Lacey began to interrogate Zeke once Lily left. “Can you please explain to me what exactly is going on?”
She was almost certain because she had a strong instinct that Zeke was the mastermind behind the scheme.
Zeke replied half-heartedly, “You should ask Lily. Perhaps they have finally realized what they did was wrong and decided to atone for their sin.”
“Let's go, honey. It's time to sleep.”
Zeke yawned over and over again as he made his way into Lacey's room.
Lacey got worked up all of a sudden. “Zeke! Who told you anything about spending the night in my room? Go spend the night on the couch!”
Hannah glared at Daniel immediately. “Daniel, I'm afraid you'll have to spend another night on the couch.”
“Yes, Madam!”
Lacey was speechless.
Dad! Mom! That's too much! Stop bullying your daughter!
Lacey was irritated as she made her way back to her room.
She saw Zeke, who was on his phone on her bed, the moment she entered her room.
“The floor!” shouted Lacey.
Zeke heaved a helpless sigh but did as instructed, nevertheless.
Lacey looked at Zeke with a complicated expression on her face, “Zeke, is Uncle Jeremy up to something? Why did he decide to return the steel mill to me all of a sudden?”
Zeke smiled when he heard her words.
Exactly what I expect from a female entrepreneur who built everything from scratch! He's indeed up to something.
Zeke reassured her, “Don't worry. Just take it over as requested. They won't be able to harm you as long as I'm by your side. They are not a threat to me at all.”
Lacey massaged her temples. “Should I believe you?”
Daniel, who was in the living room, returned to his room with his pillow once Lacey returned to her room.
He was surprised the moment he stepped into his room because Hannah was crying all alone.
Daniel asked curiously, “My dear, why are you crying?”
