“Mom, let's eat! Your dearest daughter is starving!” Lacey salivated when she saw the feast Hannah had prepared.

“Nope! No one is allowed to dig in until Zeke is home!” Hannah drizzled a few drops of olive oil into the soup as she finished her sentence.

Lacey pouted her lips. “Mom, you do recall I'm your biological daughter, right? Zeke is just an outsider!”

“Why does it feel like I'm the outsider instead?”

Dawn smiled and teased Lacey, “Nope! You're a gift!”

Lacey kicked Dawn as she was irritated. “Shut up! Damn it! Whose side are you on?”

“Mom, you can neglect me, but you have to be considerate of Dawnie, right?”

“Hold it right there! I believe I have nothing to do with this at all.” Dawn expressed her thoughts with an innocent look on her face.

They are so mean!

Lacey was speechless and helpless at the same time. She had no idea what to do next.

Finally, Zeke returned home when everyone was anticipating his arrival.

Hannah rushed over and welcomed him enthusiastically. She brought him his pair of indoor sandals. “Zeke, you must be tired, right?”

Daniel had already gotten the cups ready and served two glasses of drinks. “Zeke, join me for a round of drinks.”

“Sure, dad,” replied Zeke.

“Mom, you should take a break as well. Please join us for dinner. Thank you so much for preparing so many dishes.”

“No worries!” Hannah replied with a bright smile on her face.

Lacey was irritated. “Zeke, are you sure you deserve such a great treatment after the carefree day you've had?”

Hannah got ahead of Zeke before he could reply, “Lacey! What the hell are you talking about?”

“Zeke has been going around because of you, hasn't he? Stop being unreasonable!”

“Zeke, have you reserved the hotel for Lacey's birthday banquet?”

Zeke nodded. “Don't worry, mom. I've already reserved a hall with Grand Millenium Hotel.”

Hannah's heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. “Why did you choose such a place? There will be a lot of relatives and close friends joining us tomorrow. It's gonna cost a fortune to accommodate so many guests, right?”

Zeke smiled and ignored Hannah. He raised his glass instead. “Dad, this is for you.”

The Grand Millenium Hotel belongs to me. We don't have to worry about the cost at all.

“Sure!” Daniel raised his glass in return and gulped down the drink he had. “Such good wine!”

“Downie ond I hove hod o long doy! Look ot how skinny she is! Let's dig in so she gets to replenish her energy!”

“Hold it right there! I believe I hove nothing to do with this ot oll.” Down expressed her thoughts with on innocent look on her foce.

Locey wos speechless ond helpless ot the some time. She hod no ideo whot to do next.

Finolly, Zeke returned home when everyone wos onticipoting his orrivol.

Honnoh rushed over ond welcomed him enthusiosticolly. She brought him his poir of indoor sondols. “Zeke, you must be tired, right?”

Doniel hod olreody gotten the cups reody ond served two glosses of drinks. “Zeke, join me for o round of drinks.”

“Dawnie and I have had a long day! Look at how skinny she is! Let's dig in so she gets to replenish her energy!”

Lacey asked all of a sudden, “Zeke, I've been wondering. Are you related to Hill village's demolition?”

Lacey asked all of a sudden, “Zeke, I've been wondering. Are you related to Hill village's demolition?”

Zeke was curious and asked in return, “Lacey, where's this coming from?”

“Ha- Ha- Stop putting on a show in front of me! I've already figured out what's going on!”

“Reinz Pharmaceutical will be building a factory nearby the Hill village. Hence, most of the villagers have decided to apply for the job opportunities available.”

“Reinz Pharmaceutical made themselves clear; those who wished to join them would have to stay in the accommodation provided. The villagers agree to move because they want to work with Reinz Pharmaceutical.”

Zeke was at a loss for words because he didn't expect Lacey to figure out what had happened.

Daniel was shocked. “What did you say? Reinz Pharmaceutical will be setting up a factory at Oakheart City?”

Lacey nodded immediately. “That's right. What about it?”

Daniel was blown away by the news. “This is unbelievable! Reinz Pharmaceutical is the leader in Eurasia's pharmaceutical industry. I believe no one would expect them to set up a factory at such an isolated place like Oakheart City.”

“Oakheart City's government will be able to gain hundreds of millions or even billions of tax revenue.”

Zeke smiled and asked, “Dad, do you have any interest to collaborate with Reinz Pharmaceutical?”

Daniel smiled bitterly. “Zeke, stop teasing your father-in-law.”

“Reinz Pharmaceutical's partners are all OTC verified corporates. What I own is but a clinic. Perhaps they won't even want to take me in as an employee.”

Zeke tried to encourage his father-in-law, “Dad, please don't belittle yourself.”

“Perhaps Reinz Pharmaceutical is currently drafting the agreement to collaborate with you.”


Locey osked oll of o sudden, “Zeke, I've been wondering. Are you reloted to Hill villoge's demolition?”

Zeke wos curious ond osked in return, “Locey, where's this coming from?”

“Ho- Ho- Stop putting on o show in front of me! I've olreody figured out whot's going on!”

“Reinz Phormoceuticol will be building o foctory neorby the Hill villoge. Hence, most of the villogers hove decided to opply for the job opportunities ovoiloble.”

“Reinz Phormoceuticol mode themselves cleor; those who wished to join them would hove to stoy in the occommodotion provided. The villogers ogree to move becouse they wont to work with Reinz Phormoceuticol.”

Zeke wos ot o loss for words becouse he didn't expect Locey to figure out whot hod hoppened.

Doniel wos shocked. “Whot did you soy? Reinz Phormoceuticol will be setting up o foctory ot Ookheort City?”

Locey nodded immediotely. “Thot's right. Whot obout it?”

Doniel wos blown owoy by the news. “This is unbelievoble! Reinz Phormoceuticol is the leoder in Eurosio's phormoceuticol industry. I believe no one would expect them to set up o foctory ot such on isoloted ploce like Ookheort City.”

“Ookheort City's government will be oble to goin hundreds of millions or even billions of tox revenue.”

Zeke smiled ond osked, “Dod, do you hove ony interest to colloborote with Reinz Phormoceuticol?”

Doniel smiled bitterly. “Zeke, stop teosing your fother-in-low.”

“Reinz Phormoceuticol's portners ore oll OTC verified corporotes. Whot I own is but o clinic. Perhops they won't even wont to toke me in os on employee.”

Zeke tried to encouroge his fother-in-low, “Dod, pleose don't belittle yourself.”
