Chapter 85
Adam cursed in a low voice, “Jeremy, call Jackson right away, ask him to...”
Bang! Before he could finish his sentence, the room's door was kicked open as two burly men came in.
Jeremy quickly dissociated himself from Daniel and Hannah, “I have nothing to do with this. They're
Lacey Hinton's parents, not us.”
“Get them if you want.”
One of the burly men was stunned, “Lacey Hinton? Who is she?”
Suddenly, Jeremy's phone rang.
It was a call from Lily Hinton.
Jeremy picked up the phone promptly, “Lily, quick, get Jackson for me. We're innocent...”
Lily shouted with all her might on the other side of the phone, “Dad, run! Jackson wants to get you two.”
What?
Adam and Jeremy were shocked.
The other burly man looked at Jeremy coldly and asked, “So you two are Adam Hinton and Jeremy
Hinton, aren't you?”
“You two really are gutsy. How dare you two play a trick on Mr. Hamilton. I'm afraid that you two have to
leave with me now.”
Jeremy was confused, “There must be some misunderstanding. Mr. Hamilton is actually my son-in-
law...”
Bam! Before he could finish his sentences, the burly men knocked them unconscious with one punch.
Then, Adam and Jeremy were carried away.
Daniel and Hannah stood still right where they were and looked at each other in shock.
What the hell is going on?
After a while, Zeke and Lacey Hinton returned home.
Daniel walked up to them in a panic, “Zeke, something's wrong. Jackson took grandpa and Uncle
Jeremy away. Please...please save them.”
Zeke had imperceptibly become the backbone of the family. Whenever Daniel and Hannah faced any
problems, they would look to him for his help.
Zeke and Lacey pondered for a moment and had a rough idea about the situation.
Zeke asked, “Mom, Dad, are you sure you want to save grandpa and Uncle Jeremy after what they've
done to you?”
Daniel sighed, “What else can I do? They are my father and brother after all.”
“We cannot be as cold-blooded as the two of them. What do you think, Zeke?”
Zeke looked at Hannah for her opinion, “Mum, what do you think?”
Hannah replied, “Zeke, why don't you tell us what actually happened?”
“Daniel and Jeremy told us you and Lacey have offended the Hamilton family. They wanted to take
revenge against you two. But why did Jackson take them away instead?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Zeke sat down before he explained to them, “It was all part of their conspiracy for Lily to join the steel
mill. It was a trap set up by grandpa and Uncle Jeremy.”
“Lily was the one who switched out Lacey's bid proposal. She submitted the insulting bid proposal to
the Schneider family and pretended it was from Lacey.”
“No wonder the Schneider family was so mad at it.”
“They didn't know that I was prepared for all these things to happen.”
“I secretly took a video of Lily switching the bid proposal and sent it to the Schneider family.”
“The Schneider family honours faith and loyalty. If they knew that the Hamilton family was taking a
short cut, the Schneider family would never want to have any business deals with them anymore.”
“Too bad Jackson didn't know that I was the one who reported to the Schneider family and exposed
him. He thinks grandpa and Uncle Jeremy are the ones who betrayed him, and therefore he's taking
out his anger on them.”
The Hinton family was fuming after hearing the story.
“That's too much! I never thought they would be so cruel.”
“Sigh, why did he do that to his own granddaughter? What on earth is he thinking?”
Zeke asked, “So what do you think? Do you still want me to save them?”
Daniel looked troubled and remained silent.
Hannah took a deep breath and said, “I think we should save them as they are still Daniel's father and
brother. If not, someone will talk behind our back.”
“But we are not going to save them now. We can do it tonight or tomorrow.”
“They're so mean to us, and we should pay them back in their own coins.”
“What do you think, Daniel?”
Daniel nodded blankly. “Yeah, what you said makes sense.”
Lacey looked at Zeke gratefully and said, “Zeke, thank you for everything.”
“If the Schneider family really thought I was the one who submitted an insulting bid proposal, our family
would be doomed.”
Zeke replied, “I'm just doing my part as a husband. You don't need to thank me.”
Lacey blinked her sparkly eyes innocently and asked, “Is it really as simple as you say?”
“If so, why would I get a perfect score for my bid proposal?”
Zeke replied, “Don't forget that we're a team. I do have the responsibility and obligation to help you
amend the bid proposal.”
“We did put in a lot of effort on that bid proposal, so I wasn't surprised that we got a perfect score.”
Lacey was in doubt, “Really? So, you do know how to write a bid proposal? Then why don't you write
one for me now?”
