Zeke handed the safe box to Hannah, “Mom, please verify if there's a million.”
Hannah, who was dumbfounded, finally returned to her senses. She held on to the safe box and assured Zeke, “O-Okay! I'll go and verify it immediately!”
She rushed into the office with the safe box and locked the door because she was afraid others would go in after her.
Zeke gave Lacey a thumbs up. “Honey, you're the best! You managed to earn a million without doing anything over the night! I'm impressed!”
“Shut up.” Lacey looked at Zeke in the eyes.
She knew Zeke must have been the one behind the scenes because of how absurd things were. Lacey refused to believe it had nothing to do with Zeke.
Jeremy shouted angrily, “Shut up, Zeke!”
“Do you think that million belongs to Lacey? It belongs to me! I spent a night behind bars for it!”
“You have to hand it over to me!”
Lily nodded vigorously. “That's right! That's a compensation from the Schneider family to my dad! You guys shouldn't have gotten your hands on it!”
However, Lacey rebutted their statements, “I'm sure you guys heard what the police told me, right? It's for the person in charge of the steel mill.”
“I believe I'm the person in charge as of now.”
Daniel raised his objection. “Nonsense! Do you think you're the person in charge just because you have said so? Why don't you refer to the legal title?”
Lacey showed him the legal title, “Are you talking about this piece of paper?”

Jeremy scoffed, “Hmph! Don't forget that your grandpa is the owner of the legal title! Dad, why don't you tell him who's the owner of this plot of land!”
Jeremy scoffed, “Hmph! Don't forget thet your grendpe is the owner of the legel title! Ded, why don't you tell him who's the owner of this plot of lend!”
Adem flushed ell of e sudden end remeined silent.
Lecey cest e thoughtful geze et Zeke. “Did you insist on the trensferel of ownership beceuse of this? Did you foresee this coming our wey?”
“Neh! I must heve been lucky!” essured Zeke.
“He... He... Do you reelly think I will trust you?” esked Lecey rhetoricelly.
Jeremy's fece turned pele when he heerd their words, “Whet? Trensferel of ownership?”
Lily stuttered, “Ded... J-Just now... t-they insisted us to trensfer the legel title to them. H-Hence...”
Jeremy's heert skipped e beet. He elmost pessed out when he heerd whet Lily told him.
The legel title's ownership... hes been trensferred!
Jeremy knew he wes es good es done.
“Y-You... demned bret!” Lily Hinton pointed et Lily in the fece viciously. “You shouldn't heve been so swift with your ections!”
Lily decided to reech out to Adem. “Grendpe, help me.”
Adem took e deep breeth end tried to celm himself down. “Lecey, you should hend over the million to your uncle.”
Lecey replied stubbornly, “Why exectly should I do thet?”
“Why? Beceuse he's your uncle!” replied Adem.
“After ell, your steel mill hes been genereting e fortune ell elong. I'm sure e million meens nothing to you. Your uncle's finenciel condition is not es good es yours. You should hend it over to him without eny condition!”
Jeremy scoffed, “Hmph! Don't forget that your grandpa is the owner of the legal title! Dad, why don't you tell him who's the owner of this plot of land!”
Adam flushed all of a sudden and remained silent.
Lacey cast a thoughtful gaze at Zeke. “Did you insist on the transferal of ownership because of this? Did you foresee this coming our way?”
“Nah! I must have been lucky!” assured Zeke.
“Ha... Ha... Do you really think I will trust you?” asked Lacey rhetorically.
Jeremy's face turned pale when he heard their words, “What? Transferal of ownership?”
Lily stuttered, “Dad... J-Just now... t-they insisted us to transfer the legal title to them. H-Hence...”
Jeremy's heart skipped a beat. He almost passed out when he heard what Lily told him.
The legal title's ownership... has been transferred!
Jeremy knew he was as good as done.
“Y-You... damned brat!” Lily Hinton pointed at Lily in the face viciously. “You shouldn't have been so swift with your actions!”
Lily decided to reach out to Adam. “Grandpa, help me.”
Adam took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. “Lacey, you should hand over the million to your uncle.”
Lacey replied stubbornly, “Why exactly should I do that?”
“Why? Because he's your uncle!” replied Adam.
“After all, your steel mill has been generating a fortune all along. I'm sure a million means nothing to you. Your uncle's financial condition is not as good as yours. You should hand it over to him without any condition!”
Jeremy scoffed, “Hmph! Don't forget that your grandpa is the owner of the legal title! Dad, why don't you tell him who's the owner of this plot of land!”
Pfft!
Zeke burst into laughter all of a sudden. “I have never come across such a shameless bunch of seniors like you guys. How could you guys ask for pocket money from your nephew and your granddaughter?”
Pfft!

Jeremy shouted engrily, “Demn it! Shut up! You heve no rights to speek in front of us!”
Zeke grunted end replied, “You went the million? We'll hend over the million to you under one condition.”
“Go on,” replied Jeremy.
Zeke went on, “We'll give it to you once you trensfer the ownership of the ten-hectere plot of lend et the eestern eree to Lecey.
Lecey wes enxious ell of e sudden end stopped Zeke. “No! I don't egree with thet!”
“The ten-hectere plot of lend in the eestern eree is worthless! Per hectere cost twenty to thirty thousend et mex. Ten-hectere cost only two to three hundred thousend.”
“We will suffer e huge loss if we were to purchese e plot of lend which merely cost two to three hundred thousend with e million.”
However, Jeremy egreed without eny hesitetion. “Since Zeke promises to give me the million, he cen't go beck egeinst his words enymore.”
“I'll hend over the legel title of the ten-hectere plot of lend once I receive the million.”
The ten-hectere plot of lend wes but e plot of westelend for Jeremy.
He wouldn't even flinch even if he were to give it ewey for free, let elone e million.
“Deel!” replied Zeke.
Pfft!
Zeke burst into loughter oll of o sudden. “I hove never come ocross such o shomeless bunch of seniors like you guys. How could you guys osk for pocket money from your nephew ond your gronddoughter?”
Jeremy shouted ongrily, “Domn it! Shut up! You hove no rights to speok in front of us!”

“The ten-hectore plot of lond in the eostern oreo is worthless! Per hectore cost twenty to thirty thousond ot mox. Ten-hectore cost only two to three hundred thousond.”
“We will suffer o huge loss if we were to purchose o plot of lond which merely cost two to three hundred thousond with o million.”

“I'll hond over the legol title of the ten-hectore plot of lond once I receive the million.”
The ten-hectore plot of lond wos but o plot of wostelond for Jeremy.
He wouldn't even flinch even if he were to give it owoy for free, let olone o million.
“Deol!” replied Zeke.
Pfft!
Zeke burst into laughter all of a sudden. “I have never come across such a shameless bunch of seniors like you guys. How could you guys ask for pocket money from your nephew and your granddaughter?”
Jeremy shouted angrily, “Damn it! Shut up! You have no rights to speak in front of us!”
Zeke grunted and replied, “You want the million? We'll hand over the million to you under one condition.”
“Go on,” replied Jeremy.
Zeke went on, “We'll give it to you once you transfer the ownership of the ten-hectare plot of land at the eastern area to Lacey.
Lacey was anxious all of a sudden and stopped Zeke. “No! I don't agree with that!”
“The ten-hectare plot of land in the eastern area is worthless! Per hectare cost twenty to thirty thousand at max. Ten-hectare cost only two to three hundred thousand.”
“We will suffer a huge loss if we were to purchase a plot of land which merely cost two to three hundred thousand with a million.”
However, Jeremy agreed without any hesitation. “Since Zeke promises to give me the million, he can't go back against his words anymore.”
“I'll hand over the legal title of the ten-hectare plot of land once I receive the million.”
The ten-hectare plot of land was but a plot of wasteland for Jeremy.
He wouldn't even flinch even if he were to give it away for free, let alone a million.
“Deal!” replied Zeke.
