The two split up to carry out their respective tasks.
Logan went to the City Armed Forces and transferred over fifty armed police under him.
Due to Sam Clemons, his authority in the Military District was severely limited. Now, he had no right to dispatch the troops.
Without any other choices, he could only use the armed police from the City Armed Forces.
As for Hadley, she went to the borders of Oakheart City.
The gang leaders who ruled over the eight cities in Rivermouth were waiting in ambush with thousands of his men.
The moment Logan struck and gained control over Zeke; they would invade Oakheart City.
When that happened, the city would be in chaos without a leader. It would be a piece of cake for them.
Hadley sneered, “I’ve told you so. The one who gets the last laugh will be me. Don’t worry, Zeke. Once you’re dead, I’ll serve your woman well.”
When she thought about Lacey’s exquisite figure, her heart could not help but pound.
The Hintons had no idea that things were happening behind the scenes. They arrived at the site of Love in a Fallen City on time.
Lacey felt awful as she looked at the magnificent building.
Love in a Fallen City. This was a testimony of her romantic relationship with Zeke.
The start of its construction was the start of their love.
Now that its construction had ended, was it also the end of their love?
Tears escaped her when she thought about it. She hurriedly turned her head, fearing that others would notice them.
However, Dawn, as keen-eyed for detail as she was, still noticed.
The upset in her heart was worse than Lacey’s. She knew the truth, but she could tell no one about it. She was going crazy from holding the words back.
Dawn collected herself and sent a message to Zeke: Are you back? If you’re not back yet, Lacey’s going to have a breakdown soon.
Zeke’s reply was swift.
He sent her a live location.
Dawn hurriedly clicked on it.
Right now, Zeke was at Oakheart City’s border, and he was rushing toward where the Hintons were.
Dawn was overjoyed. Zeke, can you tell me what surprise you’re preparing that you needed to go to Northern Xinjiang for?
Zeke: Sure. You’ll know when I’m back.
Dawn: Ha. Nancy’s right. No man’s good.
Upon reading the message, Zeke rubbed his temples.
It seemed like Nancy had not ceased cursing at him for the past three days.
Love in a Fallen City was the first hall that had a capacity of 10 thousand people. Moreover, Oakheart City’s top billionaire, Evan Schneider was the organizer for the project. Thus, the opening ceremony was grand.
The banners sent by well-known companies nearly covered the entire Love in a Fallen City.
Many reporters were holding onto their equipment, ready to start their live broadcasts.
As the person-in-charge of Linton Group’s food and beverage venture, Summer was also present.
When she saw Lacey, she ran up to her and greeted, “Ms. Hinton, why isn’t Mr. Williams here?”
Knowing that Summer was Zeke’s mistress, Nancy huffed, “Why are you looking for him? Shouldn’t he be with you?”
Summer hurriedly answered, “I’m just asking. I’m here to look for you, actually. I need to confess something to you; in case you have any misunderstanding.”
After a long contemplation, she had decided to confess to Lacey that she had requested Zeke to play the part of her boyfriend temporarily.
She did not want Lacey to find it out herself and grow distant from Zeke.
However, Lacey had misunderstood Summer; she thought the latter was about to tell her that she was with Zeke.
