“Okay. I'll support you regardless of your decisions. You can do anything as long as it makes you happy.”
Lacey's eyes immediately welled with tears when she heard this. “Zeke, why are you so nice to me? Are you trying to make me rely on you so much that I won't be able to leave your side anymore?”
Zeke smiled in reply. “But I won't let you leave me. You're one of the two most important women in my life!”
“Who's the other woman? Who is she!” Lacey got jealous in an instant.
“Silly girl. The other one is our daughter, Nelly.”
Lacey pouted. “Hmph. That little brat! She's even thinking of stealing your love for me from me now!”
“Hahaha!” A series of guffaws ruined the sweet moment between Zeke and Lacey.
The two immediately turned around, finding Dawn and Nancy standing not far away. Both had a phone with them, recording the sweet moment between the husband and wife.
However, the two only laughed louder after being discovered. “Hehehe, Lacey, Zeke, we didn't know the two of you are so lovely and romantic.”
“Oh, you two are so enviable. I'm so jealous!”
“What will happen if I post the recording on my social media account? You think it will be shocking?”
“Of course! It will hit everyone like a tsunami!”
“And what if I revealed Zeke's identity as the Great Marshal?”
“Oh gosh. Then it will be no different from tearing the skies apart!”
Lacey's face was bright red after she was made fun of by the ladies. She hurriedly shouted, “The two of you! Stop! Have you no shame? Delete the recordings at once!”
With that said, Lacey charged toward them and tried to snatch their phones.
However, surrendering their phones was never an option for both Dawn and Nancy. They turned around and scattered as soon as Lacey made her move.
In the meantime, all Zeke did was smile instead of trying to get rid of the recordings.
After all, from getting to know Lacey to falling in love, marrying her, and having a child together, they had rarely taken any photos together, which was why he decided that the recordings should be preserved to serve as a memento.
Zeke later entered his own office and dialed the number of the person in charge of Cygnus Room.
“Help me look into the cash flow of Intercontinental Group. Pinpoint the source of the three hundred billion cash newly transferred into their account.”
“Understood, sir!”
The reply came swiftly, decisively, and firmly.
About ten minutes later, Cygnus Room had already returned with the information.
“Great Marshal, we've identified that the source of the three hundred billion came from an underground fund from a foreign country. Our personnel hacked into their internal system and traced the source of the fund straight back to the Mitxel family.”
The Mitxel family!
Zeke unconsciously tightened his grip, and the force crushed the armrest of the solid wooden chair.
So, it really is the Mitxel family. They sure are persistent. It's about time for me to meet the Mitxel family personally.
“Oh. What about Rhett of the Mitxel family? How is he doing in Cygnus Room now?”
Previously, the Kush Clan framed Zeke by manipulating Rhett into committing suicide and forged evidence that made it look like Zeke was present.
Fortunately, Zeke was able to preserve Rhett's life by using Ammo Needle. He only managed to drag Rhett away from the brink of death after sending him into Cygnus Room.
“The patient is slowly recovering. He's doing well,” the staff from Cygnus Room answered.
“Good. Notify Rhett that I want to see him now.”
“Understood!”
Half an hour later, Rhett showed up in Zeke's office.
Upon seeing Zeke, Rhett immediately charged toward him and fell to his knees without hesitation. “Thank you for saving my life, Great Marshal. The Mitxel family will forever be in your debt.”
He knew that it was Zeke that saved his life.
Zeke, however, sneered. “Oh? So you repay the man who saved your life by almost destroying Linton Group, persistently pursuing us, and viciously trying to take us down? Is this the way of the Mitxel family?”
Hearing this, Rhett broke into a cold sweat before he hurriedly said, “Great Marshal, what do you mean by that? I don't understand.”
