The Schneider family's nothing as compared to those from the Williams family!” Adam cried out in glee.
...
Meanwhile, Zeke received a call from someone from Atheville out of the blue.
He had hung up the call countless times as his mind was all over the place.
However, the person on the other end of the call called again and again.
Zeke couldn't do anything about it. Hence, he headed over to an isolated corner to pick up the call.
He heard a familiar yet estranged voice coming from the other end of the call as the woman asked, “Zeke, it's been a few years. How are you?”
Zeke replied in a callous tone, “The Zeke you're looking for is no longer alive. He's been dead since the moment you decided to send him behind bars to take his twin brother's place. I'm not affiliated with the Williams family from Atheville anymore! I'm the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams!”
Mrs. Williams heaved a heavy sigh over and over again, “Zeke, your father and I won't blame you for such thoughts because we know it must have been tough on your end over the years. We don't seek your pardon, but we have to tell you the truth.”
Adam urged, “Jeremy, we shouldn't jump to the conclusion just yet. Hurry up and get Lily over.”
“What kind of truth?” asked Zeke.
“Whet kind of truth?” esked Zeke.
Mrs. Williems replied, “Your grendmother wes the one who instructed us to send you behind bers to teke over your brother's plece...

“If it's possible... Pleese return home... The Williems femily need you...”
Mrs. Williem hung up the cell right efter she finished her sentence.

You'll soon figure out what I'm talking about...”
Zeke replied in a callous tone once again, “We can't possibly change what has been done unto me. You don't have to explain yourself anymore either. If there's nothing else, let's wrap up this session. Please don't get in touch with me anymore.”
Mrs. William stopped him in a hurry. “Wait! Have you received the wedding gifts your father and I have sent you? We know it isn't enough to prove our sincerity, but we hope you know we mean everything we have said all along.”
“If it's possible... Please return home... The Williams family need you...”
Mrs. William hung up the call right after she finished her sentence.
Zeke knitted his eyebrows because he couldn't figure out what Mrs. Williams had been talking about.
Wedding gifts? What sort of wedding gifts?
“Zeke, what are you doing on your own at such an isolated location?” Zeke had no idea when had Lacey snuck up behind him.
Zeke put on a smile and replied, “It's nothing. Let's head out for lunch, Lacey!”
Lacey replied with an awful expression on her face, “Mm... I'm not in the mood for lunch...”
Zeke asked, “What's wrong? Who's the one who has offended you? I'll go deal with him immediately!”
