Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 88

Dawn shrieked in terror. She quickly grabbed the fruit knife on the table and pressed it against her neck.

“Please don't come near me, I will kill myself if you do.”

Then, she cut her neck slightly with the knife as a warning.

Upon seeing that, Jackson stopped in his tracks.

He wasn't ready to see anyone die in front of him.

He clenched his teeth, “Take it easy.”

He took out his phone and dialled Lacey's number.

Meanwhile, Lacey and Zeke were waiting in the Schneider family's conference room for Evan Schneider's arrival.

Lacey felt strange to see Jackson calling her. Nonetheless, she picked up the call.

“Where are you right now?” Jackson asked.

“In the conference room of the Schneider family,” Lacey replied.

“Great. You have two choices now. Number one, sign the contract with the Schneider family, and Dawn Castaneda will be dead. Number two, admit that the insulting bid proposal was from you, and I will let Dawn Castaneda go.”

What?

Lacey jumped in terror. “Dawn... What did you do to her?”

Jackson replied, “Don't worry, she's still alive.”

“But I cannot guarantee if she will still be alive tomorrow.”

Then, he hung up the phone abruptly.

Lacey was shell-shocked and fell on the floor.

Zeke was shocked as well. He held Lacey hurriedly and asked, “What happened, Lacey?”

Lacey started stammering, “Quick... Quick... go to the Hamilton family and save Dawnie...”

“Jackson has Dawnie.”

What?

A gleam of murderous intent flashed in Zeke's eyes.

Is Jackson asking for death?

He consoled Lacey and said, “Don't worry, I will get Dawnie out.”

“I promise you she will be alright.”

Lacey took a deep breath as she said, “I will go with you.”

Zeke replied, “No, you just wait here.”

“Isn't Jackson trying to force you to admit that the insulting bid proposal is from you, is it? If so, you can try to buy time by pretending to agree to his terms.”

“Give me half an hour. I promise I will bring Dawnie back to you safely.”

Lacey took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
