Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid

Chapter 12

“M-Mr. Douglas, please calm down,” Skye pleaded as he ran towards the assistant and offered a

cigarette. “My father-in-law has no idea who you are.”

The fat man did not accept the cigarette and instead laughed, “Keep your cigarette. You're now fired.

Get lost!”

In an instant, Skye felt as if his whole world had collapsed. He couldn't believe he had lost his job just

hours after he got it.

“Mr. Douglas! Please spare me! I have nothing to do with this family anymore! We haven't even signed

the papers yet! It's not official! Just forgive me this one time! I beg you!”

All of Jeremy's relatives looked as if they had just been punched in the face. They couldn't believe that

Skye Hans, the person they were proud to have in their family, was nothing in front of the fat man.

Hans had to forfeit his relationship with the family to save his position.

“Y-you ungrateful ba****d!” Jeremy yelled.

“How dare you turn your back on us?” Lily also scolded. “To hell with being the section chief! How dare

you treat us like this?”

Skye turned around and pushed Lily away, so hard that he made Lily fall to the floor.

“Do you really think you're in the position to talk? Give this room to Mr. Douglas this instant!” Skye

roared.

They were a family just a moment ago, yet everything changed in a blink of an eye.

Lily couldn't hold in her tears any longer.

Jeremy had no choice but to draw his final card.

“Do you know who my niece is promised to? Jackson Hamilton!”

The fat man looked at Jeremy and laughed even louder. “Let me guess, you guys are the Hinton family,

right?”

Jeremy nodded. “That's right! This is Jackson's fiancée, Lacey Hinton!”

“Indeed, I have to show some respect to the Hamilton family,” the fat man said. “But do you really think

Jackson is willing to get on my bad side because of you guys?”

His statement stunned the whole crowd.

Even the Hamilton family could not scare the fat man.

“Still, Lacey Hinton is quite the famous person now,” the fat man stated, looking at Lacey. “The news of

her rejecting Jackson is really something. So, which one of you is the trash she picked instead?”

Lacey was so embarrassed; she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Zeke stood up slowly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Hannah Lawson quickly pulled Zeke on his shirt, terrified. “Sit back down! Just let him say what he

wants.”

“Don't worry about it,” Zeke said nonchalantly. “I've had it with people making fun of Lacey. It's time I

make an example out of them.”

Zeke then took a puff of his cigarette before shoving it down the fat man's throat. Before the fat man

could even realize what was happening, Zeke grabbed him by his neck and lifted him off the floor.

A 300-pound man was easily raised with just one arm of Zeke!

The fat man struggled in pain as he gasped for air.

But no matter how much the fat man squirmed, Zeke's tight grip held him firmly in place.

The Hinton family could not believe their eyes as Zeke punished the man who dared challenge the

Hamilton family.

But they also felt relieved, as this will cause the fat man to shift his attention from the family to Zeke.

The Hinton family thought they might be able to live if they cut off their ties with Zeke.

Lacey was terrified and quickly stopped Zeke. “Hey! Let him go!”

Zeke swung his arm and threw the fat man to the floor.

The fat man quickly tried to cough the cigarette out, but only blood came out.

“You f**ker! Men! Take him down!” The fat man yelled.

Lacey quickly grabbed Zeke's hand and pulled him towards the window. “You have to run, now! Go as

far away from the city as possible until things die down!”

Before they could reach the window, however, Jeremy and a group of their relatives blocked their way.

“Oh, you're not leaving,” Jeremy smiled cruelly. “You have to take responsibility for what you've done.”

Lacey could only look at the crowd with a pale expression.

“Don't worry, Lacey. They won't be able to do anything to me,” Zeke insisted.

“You... you...” Lacey didn't know how to reply him.

Liam George heard the commotion and rushed into the dining room along with everyone else.

The sight of his assistant lying on the floor angered Liam. “Who did this?”

Jeremy quickly pointed at Zeke. “He did this! We don't know him!”

Realizing things were about to go sideways, Daniel quickly pulled Hannah away from Zeke.

The moment Liam laid his eyes on Zeke, he wished he'd never came to this place. The director of the

bureau would rather meet with Satan than the man in front of him.

“Liam George. Is this how you educate your men?” Zeke smiled at Liam. “Kicking people out of their

room and insulting them?”

Liam quickly collapsed to the floor and begged, “My apologies, Mr. Williams. I will take all the

responsibilities for my subordinate's action.”

The director then turned to the fat man and scolded, “Preston Douglas! You're f**king fired!”

The fat man could only look at Liam in despair.

Who the f**k is that man? Did he just make Liam George plead for his life?

“Get lost,” Zeke ordered Liam. “If I see this happen again, I'll hang your head for everyone to see.”

Liam quickly thanked Zeke before running away with the crowd he came with.

The director was already covered in sweat because he knew Zeke was serious about having his head

hanged.

The room was in complete silence as the Hinton family stared at Zeke with their jaws dropped.

The event that had just happened in the last few minutes were unbelievable.

Skye, the pride of the family, was first humiliated by the fat man.

Then, the master of the fat man kneeled to Zeke, the person they looked down on.

Everyone couldn't help but begin to wonder who Lacey's boyfriend really was.

Zeke turned to look at Lacey affectionately and asked, “Have you had enough to eat?”

“What? Oh, yeah,” Lacey paused before responding.

“Let's go for a walk then,” Zeke suggested.

“Okay.” Lacey nodded.

Once they were at the door, Zeke lowered his head to look at Preston, who was still in shock. “These

people said they don't know me. You heard that, right?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

What Zeke meant was that since the family and he weren't acquainted, Preston was free to do anything

he wanted with them.

A crude smile appeared on the fat man's face. “I understand. Thank you, Mr. Williams.”

The Hinton family was dumbfounded as they watched Zeke and Lacey leave.

As soon as they were out of the dining room, Lacey asked Zeke worriedly. “Zeke, are you really going

to leave Jeremy and the others like that?”

“I'll do whatever you want,” Zeke smiled.

Lacey took a deep breath. “Since they’re family... Please let them go.”

“Okay.” Zeke nodded. “But, let them first beg your mom and dad for forgiveness. It's time they repent

for their sins.”

“You're right,” Lacey beamed.

And as Zeke had expected, Preston began to threaten Jeremy and his family.
