Ms. Morton handed Lacey the contract and left.
After seeing the secretary off, Lacey and Dawn quickly reviewed the contract.
Instead of being happy, they both turned to stare at Zeke in awe after going through it.
It was stated in the contract that the Schneider family would spend one hundred million to purchase a kindergarten owned by the Wisdom Isle brand worth three hundred million. The Schneider family would then transfer the ownership to the Linton Group for free!
This is basically a gift!
“Z-zeke, what is this?” Lacey asked with her shaky voice.
“Zeke this, Zeke that, can’t you call my last name for once?” Zeke responded annoyingly.
“Willy, what is this?” Dawn asked.
Zeke was speechless and sighed. “Whatever. Just call me Zeke. As I was saying, I got us the kindergarten so that Sharon could get a better education.”
“Th-this is absurd! You bought a kindergarten chain just so your goddaughter could go to school!?” Dawn exclaimed.
“That’s not the point!” Lacey scolded. “Tell me, what’s your relationship with Mr. Schneider? Why is he giving us such an expensive gift?”
“Didn’t I tell you that he is diagnosed with a weird illness and only I could help with? I recently rid him of that illness, and this is him showing his gratitude.”
“Why do I have a feeling that you’re making that up?” Lacey’s face was filled with distrust. “Seriously, I beg you, tell me the truth!”
“Sure. But you’ll have to tell me what is the one thing that is lacking to confirm our relationship?”
“Zeke Williams! You better not get ahead of yourself! How dare you argue with your boss? Do you think I won’t...”
“Ravish you?” Dawn interrupted.
“Shut up! I meant fire him!” Lacey shot Dawn an angry stare.
Seeing that Lacey was really furious, Dawn quickly helped to calm things down. “Lacey, I’m gonna come clean with you. What Zeke said is true. When I went to the Schneider Group last time, I saw him curing Mr. Schneider with my own eyes. I also heard from Ms. Morton that the pain was so unbearable that Mr. Schneider would bang his head on the wall. He even tried to kill himself. Zeke basically gave Mr. Schneider his life back. So it’s only natural if he wants to repay Zeke’s gratitude.”
Since Dawn confirmed that Zeke really helped cure Evan’s illness, Lacey half-bought the story.
“R-right! There’s no way Zeke could make Mr. Schneider bow to him!” Lacey laughed awkwardly and turned to Zeke. “How dare you try to trick me!?”
Dawn only smiled at Zeke as if she were telling him that he owed her another favor.
It was evident to Dawn why Evan would bow down to Zeke because Zeke was the legendary God of War, the Great Marshal.
Lacey then handed the Wisdom Isle contract to Dawn. “Dawnie, looks like I have to trouble you again.”
Dawn massaged her thighs and asked, “Seeing how hardworking I am, shouldn’t I get a raise as well?”
“Of course! I’ll raise your monthly salary by ten thousand! And you’ll get a bonus worth millions as well!”
Upon hearing that, Zeke’s face darkened.
