Everyone immediately shook their heads.
“No objection.”
“You have our full support.”
“We will obey you.”
The Linton Group had already begun to take shape.
Even though they were not at the same league as Thisleton Group, they were still considered a hefty pie.
“Let’s go!” Clyde waved his hand. “Come with me to seize Linton Group.”
Linton Group.
After a few days of grief and despair, Lacey had slowly come to terms to the cruel reality that Zeke had abandoned her.
Right now, she pinned all of her hopes and dreams on the little life that was taking shape inside of her right now.
She knew that there was no way she could ever forget this man in her lifetime.
Hence, she wanted to give birth to Little Williams as a form of remembrance.
These few days, she was completely focused on her work.
She would settle the admin matters in Linton Group in the next few months so that she could focus on her pregnancy after on.
When she was working, her door was suddenly forced open.
It was Clyde, who had brought three Thisleton descendants with him.
They took their seats carelessly and could not stop chain smoking.
Lacey frowned and immediately opened her windows while reprimanding them. “Please smoke outdoors if you must smoke.”
Second-hand smoke was bad for her baby.
Clyde said coldly, “Lacey Hinton, how dare you go against the orders of the family patriarch? What kind of punishment should I mete out to you?”
Lacey replied, “You have already called me Lacey Hinton. I am a Hinton, not a Thisleton. Since I am not part of the Thisleton family, there is no need for me to obey the family patriarch’s orders.”
What a cheek!
Clyde was infuriated further, “Thisleton blood flows within your veins, and yet you say that you are not a Thisleton. This is blasphemy! Men, come and pin her down. Today, I will teach her a lesson on behalf of our forefathers.”
The three men that had come in with him immediately stepped forward in an attempt to take control of Lacey.
Lacey was completely shocked.
I am pregnant, and there is no way I can stand this treatment. I could have a miscarriage!
She immediately shouted, “Security! Security! Please come in now!”
The security guards appeared swiftly. “Stop it. This is not the place for you to do what you want. Get lost...”
However, before they could finish speaking, Clyde had already taken action.
He sent both of the security guards flying out of the room with two kicks. “Who are you to interfere in my business?”
Clyde was an orthodox martial arts practitioner.
There was no way that a couple of regular security guards could match up to him.
The Thisletons easily took control over Lacey, who did not dare to resist them too much in her bid to protect her unborn child.
Clyde said frostily, “Your ba****d child brings shame to the Thisletons. Abort the ba****d and we will talk.”
Ahh, no!
Lacey lost all control over herself out of shock.
This child was her only spiritual sustenance right now.
If anything happened to this child, she would rather die!
“I’ll sign it, I’ll sign the contract!” Lacey sobbed loudly.
“Hmph, things would have been easier if you had cooperated with us from the start,” Clyde said.
“Sign it now.”
Clyde tossed the contract to Lacey.
Lacey had to endure her grief as she signed on the transferal agreement.
Linton Group was the hard work of Zeke and Lacey.
Now, everything was flushed down the drain.
At least, she managed to protect her unborn child.
The world would continue spinning as long as he was still there.
After ten months, it was finally time for her to deliver the baby.
Hannah, Daniel, Diego and Faith all came to accompany her.
It was a little girl.
Her brows were strikingly beautiful like Lacey’s, while her mouth and nose were a carbon copy of Zeke’s.
Conflicting emotions rose within the four elders.
While they were overjoyed by the smooth delivery of a healthy and beautiful baby, they were mourning the fact that this child was born into a pitiful father-less state.
