For a moment, Lacey was at a loss for words.

We can’t even keep the headquarters building of Linton Group and bankruptcy is imminent.

I’m about to owe an extensive amount of foreign debt. Where do I get the money to pay the penalty?

Amid her dilemma, Emily stood up. “Excuse me, Sir. How much does Lacey owe you for the breach of contract?”

“Two billion,” the business partner said.

“Lacey is facing some difficulties now, and she can’t afford so much money,” Emily said, “Never mind. Seeing that

she was once my best friend, I’ll help her this time.”

Emily’s generosity was greeted with rapturous applause.

“Ms. Clemons sure is righteous.”

“And because of your righteousness, I’ve decided to make you our business partner.”

“It’s our honor to work with you, Ms. Clemons.”

Mary sneered. “Ms. Hinton, aren’t you gonna thank Ms. Clemons for helping you?”

Lacey endured the humiliation and said, “Thank you.”

“That’s it?” Mary asked.

“Hey, Mary, that’s where you’re wrong,” Emily corrected Mary, “I’m helping her for old time’s sake, not for her

gratitude.”

“You’ve misinterpreted me, Ms. Clemons,” Mary said, “They told me that they have prepared a big gift for you just

now. I know you don’t like receiving rewards for your work, and you will certainly not accept this big gift that they’re

giving you for no reason. So, why don’t you let them present you with this gift as a token of their appreciation?”

The realization dawned on Emily. “Ah, I see. I sure won’t accept their gift out of the blue. But since it’s a token of

appreciation, that’s a different story. If I don’t accept it, I’m afraid they will think I’m looking down on them.”

“Well, aren’t you going to bring out your big gift?” Mary prompted Lacey.

Dawn balled her fist. “They’re so f**king good at blowing their own trumpet.”

Lacey knew that no matter what, she couldn’t possibly run away today.

Despite the reluctance in her heart, she put on a calm face and said, “I would like to give you the New Linton Group

building.”

The crowd was instantly stirred.

That building is worth at least one billion.

To hand over that building to Emily Clemons, their “sisterhood” sure is as solid as a rock.

Of course, everyone could guess the inside story, suspecting that it was Emily who forced Lacey to do this.

However, no one pointed it out.

“Alright then, I shall gladly accept this gift,” Emily grinned with satisfaction.

Mary took out a contract and handed it to Lacey.

“This is the transferal agreement that you entrusted me to prepare. Please sign here.”

Lacey picked up the pen with her trembling hand, feeling as though a knife was piercing her heart.

However, as she was about to sign her name on the contract, a voice suddenly sounded at the door, “I object!”

Lacey, Dawn, and Nancy trembled at that familiar voice.

It’s Zeke!

Zeke is back!

However, the euphoria didn’t last long.

Even if Zeke has come back, so what?

Not only has his power been abolished, but he has also been stripped of his title as the Great Marshal.

He’s a commoner now.

He has no ability to turn things around.

The three of them turned back, looking at Zeke at the door.

Lacey’s eyes reddened. “Zeke, you’re back!”

Zeke smiled. “Lacey, I didn’t come back too late, did I?”

Lacey nodded.

“You must speak up for us, Zeke...” Dawn grumbled.

Zeke waved his hand at Dawn. “Don’t worry. I know all about it.”
