Lily would not dare to lie again.
Indeed, she was acquainted with many prominent people. However, the one who stood before her was a highly distinguished person as well.
Evidently, no one would ever risk offending this person, especially if it were merely for her sake alone.
She spoke truthfully, “No... The truth is that I’ve never even met Frederick. Helen made me do it, in order to save her own reputation. She’d even promised me a reward of one billion, but I still have yet to receive it.”
F***!
Soon, everyone turned to attack Lily. They were either trying to stand up for Frederick or rather, trying to gain Zeke’s favor. There was no in-between.
“The dead should always be honored, and here you are, namedropping the dead? You don’t deserve to live!”
“We’re better off feeding such people to the sharks.”
“Hmph, Master Frederick was renowned, proper gentleman. There is no way that he could have been interested in a s*** like her.”
“She had us all fooled”
Zeke announced, “I want you to conduct a public apology for six days. After that, you will kneel at my brother’s grave relocation ceremony and ask for forgiveness.”
Lily was overjoyed. Finally... At least I’ll be able to live.
She immediately bowed her head. “Of course, of course.”
Zeke uttered to Stanley, “There are two girls out there who are shooting a promotional video. They’d helped me earlier. It appears like they would like to come in here for their shoot. Do try your best to cooperate with them. I don’t want to owe them anything.”
Stanley immediately nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m on it right now.”
Zeke glanced at Wolf’s Greed, “How long?”
He pressed his stopwatch and announced, “Four minutes forty-nine seconds.”
Zeke urged him, “Let’s go.”
The two of them were in no hurry to leave. Instead, they returned to the car and watched Lacey and Mia.
At this very moment, both of the ladies were extremely worried and did not know what to do.
Four bodyguards had completely obstructed their way, leaving them with no escape route at all.
They had just made a police report but had yet to receive any reply.
Harry Lewis must be in cahoots with the police.
What should we do? What should we do?
At this very moment, a blood-curdling shriek could be heard, “Please forgive me, Grandpa. Please have mercy on me!”
It sounded like Harry Lewis.
Lacey and Mia immediately turned, to look towards that direction.
Indeed, it was Harry, who had been so arrogant barely moments ago. Right now, two muscular men were dragging him towards the edge of the ship.
When they approached the railing, they immediately flung him into the sea.
Stanley immediately nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m on it right now.”
Oh my goodness, what is going on?
Oh my goodness, what is going on?
The two ladies were utterly shocked.
Wasn’t Harry the consultant for Sky Ocean Banquet? How could he be thrown into the sea?
Lacey suddenly remembered that Zeke had mentioned that people who had bullied them would be thrown into the sea...
Could it be...
Lacey covered her mouth in shock.
Before the both of them could regain their composures, an elegant and handsome man in a neat suit approached them.
It was Stanley.
“Excuse me, the two of you are here to shoot your promotional video right?”
Lacey nodded. “Mhm. You are...”
Stanley immediately introduced himself. “Oh, I am the founder of Sky Ocean Banquet, Stanley Parker. Please accept my most sincere invitation to enter the Sky Ocean Banquet for your shoot. Don’t worry, we will give you full cooperation.”
Lacey immediately grew defensive.
There were no free lunches in this world.
She asked him cautiously. “I don’t think we know each other at all. Why are you inviting us in for the shoot?”
Stanley replied, “Oh, it’s like this. You’ve helped my grandpa, and he doesn’t want to owe you any favors. Hence, he would like to repay you this way.”
Naturally, he was referring to the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams.
