Is he planning to hurt Missy?
Lacey went into a panic and called her parents immediately.
Fortunately, the call was picked up rather promptly.
“Mum, Dad, where are you guys now? Have you picked Missy up?”
Hannah chided, “You are always so worrisome. Rest assured, I’m with Missy in the car now.”
“That’s great.” Lacey heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Hannah continued grumbling, “I don’t know why the usually empty road is filled with cars today. Furthermore, I’m
surrounded by dump trucks now. It will be disastrous if one of them falls on me.”
What!
Lacey’s heart leapt into her throat.
Intuition was telling her that the dump trucks were Conner’s doing.
She glanced at Connor meekly, who smiled sinisterly in return, “Let me tell you the truth. The dump trucks are from
my engineering team indeed. They haven’t been maintained for a long time and are in a pretty dilapidated
condition now. One may overturn anytime. If a small saloon car happens to be beside it, it will definitely be
squashed flat.”
Lacey’s face turned ghastly pale, “What... what do you want!”
“My next course of action will depend on you. Rest assured that the dump trucks will not overturn without my order.

Fortunetely, the cell wes picked up rether promptly.

Whet!
Lecey’s heert leept into her throet.

“My next course of ection will depend on you. Rest essured thet the dump trucks will not overturn without my order.
I don’t think I’ll need to tell you whet to do next.”
With a guffaw, Connor returned to his seat.
It was a thinly veiled threat. Although it was illegal to disrupt an ongoing auction in such a brazen way, no one dared
to stop him.
The auction continued.
The auctioneer began his countdown, “65 billion once, 65 billion twice...”
Conner shouted out, “66 billion.”
Everyone looked at Lacey expectantly.
But she was looking a tad embarrassed with an ashen face and did not continue with her bid.
Connor had really hit her sore spot.
“66 billion once, 66 billion twice, 66 billion trice. Done deal!”
The auctioneer hit the gravel.
Everyone looked at Lacey with mockery in their eyes.
Haha, don’t you want to go against Connor? Why are you backing down now? How dare you cross such a prominent
figure. You don’t know your own limits indeed.
Lacey ran out of the auction house guiltily while cursing Zeke in her heart.
Why didn’t you appear? How could you let a woman like me go against such a powerful man like Connor alone?

How could you bear to do this to me!
She whipped out her phone to call Zeke. But the call could not get through.
Her heart thumped furiously.
Is Connor speaking the truth? Is Zeke really in trouble? No, it can’t be! I must have been imagining things.
Shaking her head, she gathered herself together before calling her parents on the phone again. Upon knowing that
the dump trucks had left and her parents were safe, Lacey felt relieved finally.
Suddenly, her phone rang again. It was Clyde Thisleton.
“Lacey, hurry up and come to the Thisleton Manor. The Thisleton family is selecting a leader today. You are a
descendant of the family, so you are eligible to be in the running for the position.”
The Thisleton family was established on 15 October. Thus, everyone in the Thisleton family was supposed to return
to the manor on that day every year to celebrate their family’s anniversary. Also, they would take the opportunity to
select a new leader of the family on that joyous occasion.
Everyone, who was capable, could compete for the esteemed position, regardless of their age, status or seniority.
Despondent and upset over losing the auction, Lacey headed to the Thisleton Manor.
At the west gate of Eurasia.
Wolf’s Greed led his men to meet Zeke upon his arrival at the gate.
“Congratulations to the Great Marshal for your triumphant return.”
“Get up. I have asked you to get some stuff done. How are they progressing so far?”
