“Miss, business isn't great today. So, here's some food you can share with Missy, or else they will just go to waste.”
A lady from a neighboring stall added, “That's right. There really are very few customers today. Here's a hotdog you
can give Missy. She really loves the hotdogs I make.”
Lacey was touched by their gestures.
She obviously knew that the vendors were making excuses to help her maintain her dignity.
Therefore, Lacey didn't decline their kind offer.
After all, they had already stuffed the food into her hands.
Lacey replied gratefully, “Sir, madam, thank you. I will remember your kindness forever.”
The two vendors smiled kindly. “You're welcome, miss.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”
Lacey returned home with the food.
The moment she left, the two vendors exchanged glances and sighed.
“That lady really has it tough. The husband is dead, and she has to take care of a child alone. Furthermore, she is
always harassed by Hound and his men. By the way, didn't I tell you to find someone for her? Did you do it?”
“She's young, pretty, and has a great figure. There are a lot of guys that are interested in her. Unfortunately, she
refuses to accept any of them.”
“Huh? Why?”
“What else can it be? It must be for the sake of her daughter and husband.”
“What a tough life she has.”
“Oh, no. Here comes Hound. She is in for some trouble now.”
The neighbors weren't aware that Lacey's husband was the Great Marshal, Zeke Williams.
They simply saw her as an ordinary folk.
After all, Lacey had kept it a secret, as she was cognizant that nothing good would come out of revealing it.
Meanwhile, a bunch of hooligans were heading her way.
They were led by Hound and were under orders to take Lacey's life.
One of Hound's subordinates asked cautiously, “Hound, are we really going to kill someone? Now that we are being
monitored by the higher-ups, I can't imagine the consequences if we really do it.”
Hound snapped, “Shut your mouth, you coward. If you're scared, you should back out now. Don't forget that Fourth
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLord has our back. I'm sure you don't need me to explain to you how powerful he is, do you? With him backing us,
it's more than enough.”
The name “Fourth Lord” carried a lot of gravitas.
Therefore, Hound's subordinates calmed down after hearing it.
Soon, they arrived at Lacey's door.
Coincidentally, Lacey opened her door to go to work.
The moment she saw Hound and his men, she was shocked and closed the door by reflex.
After all, nothing good ever came out of a visit from Hound.
However, Hound's subordinates rushed ahead and kicked the door open.
As the door was flung inward, it hit Lacey and threw her onto the ground.
Hound sneered, “You b*tch. How dare you close the door on me? Am I not welcome here? Do you think that I won't
kick you out of this house?”
Lacey's head was spinning after being hit by the door.
