With a wry smile, Lacey shook her head. “Forget it. Do whatever you want. From now on, you're not allowed to set foot in my steel mill.”
“I'm afraid you will lose your steel mill soon,” Lily stated.
Lacey asked, “What do you mean?”
Jackson chimed in, ”Let me warn you, Lacey. If the Schneider family is taking action against you later, just beg me, and maybe I can help you. Otherwise, destruction awaits.”
Lacey frowned. “Why would the Schneider family take action against me?”
She suddenly thought of something as her face went pale.
“Damn it. Lily, did you do something to my bid proposal?”
Lily played innocent. “What bid proposal? I didn't see it.”
Lacey instantly exploded with rage.
Damn it. She really denies it.
She must have done something to it.
She said through gritted teeth, “Lily, y-you're worse than an animal. What would you gain by making me bankrupt?”
“What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all,” Lily sneered. “Jackson, let's go back to our seats. They will surely come to beg us later.”
Jackson said indifferently, “I'll tell you one thing, Lacey. As I said last time, I will make you engaged to me in ten days. It's the tenth day today. You'd better think properly whether you want to be killed by the Schneider family or to marry me.”
Zeke, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, “I'll tell you one thing too. If the Schneider family takes action against you later, you can come and beg us. Of course, I would lose if I helped you, though.”
Pfft!
Jackson chuckled. “Beg you? Beg you and make a fool of yourselves? Haha! What a joke. Let's go, Lily.”
Jackson then left with Lily.
Lacey turned red with anger. “Damn, Lily is so cruel. To think that I trusted her so much.”
Zeke patted her on the shoulder. “Now that you've seen her true colours, I hope you learn from it and not be soft-hearted next time.”
Lacey sighed. “Let's go, Zeke. There's no more hope for us in this tender. We may even anger the Schneider family as well.”
