Chapter 1109

However, she stood up quickly in defiance.

F***!

Joshua was enraged. “You should count your lucky stars given the fact that I like you.”

“Don’t blame me for being cruel when you’re the one who’s taking me for granted.”

Raising his hands, he prepared to slap Lacey.

Despite closing her eyes by reflex, Lacey felt no fear at all.

At that moment, a glistening object flashed across everyone’s eyes before piercing through Joshua’s wrist.

“Argh!” Joshua screamed in agony as he was thrown back.

Everyone was stunned.

Looking closer, a dagger had pierced his arm and nailed him to the wall.

Who did this?

The Williams family turned towards the door.

When they saw who it was, they all began to tremble.

It was Zeke!

Furthermore, he wasn’t wheelchair-bound anymore, he approached by foot instead.

Every step he took was strong and filled with resolve.

He had fully recovered.

The Williams family frowned when they realized they didn’t make it in time.

When Lacey felt that the slap from Joshua wasn’t coming, she opened her eyes curiously.

What she saw both shocked and delighted her.

Seizing the moment when the Williams family was still in shock, she rushed into Zeke’s embrace.

“Zeke, you’re finally here.”

“They were just forcing me to marry Joshua... boohoo, I thought I wasn’t able to be your wife anymore.”

Zeke’s heart ached as he stroked Lacey’s long hair. “Lacey, don’t worry.”

“You’re mine. No one can take you away from me.”

“Come, sit down. Once I’m done with them, we can return home to discuss the details about our wedding.”

“Alright!” Lacey nodded.

Meanwhile, Zeke walked towards Mdm. Williams. “Move aside.”

Mdm. Williams retorted angrily, “I’m your Grandma, how can you speak to your elders like that?”

“Besides, I’m the head of the Williams family, therefore I should sit at the head of the table.”

At that moment, Zeke slammed his hands on the table, causing it to collapse. As the table broke into pieces, sawdust filled the air.

The impact caused a deafening noise.

“Move.” Zeke repeated.

With her face turning pale, Mdm. Williams trembled as she vacated her seat.

She was certain that Zeke was capable of beating her into a pulp.

As Zeke settled into his seat, he scanned everyone present. “ Before this, I had no intention of getting involved with all of you.”

“But, you guys insist on backing me to a corner.”

“In that case, we will settle our scores today once and for all.”

Mdm. Williams argued, “What score are you trying to settle?”

“Lacey had accepted Joshua’s wedding gifts and written wedding proposal, that implies that she acknowledges the engagement.”

“Therefore, welcoming Lacey to our family is the next logical step.”

Lacey immediately retorted, “I only accepted the gift because you tricked me.”

“I thought you sent them on behalf of Zeke. Furthermore, you implicitly acknowledged it.”

Mdm. Williams countered angrily, “We didn’t say that it was Zeke that sent the wedding gifts.”

“You...” Flustered, Lacey’s face was flushed red with anger.

Zeke asked, “Who sent the gifts?”

“It was me!” Joshua replied as he endured the pain.

Zeke demanded, “I now want you to recall the gifts.”

“Never!” Joshua replied firmly.

With a flick of his hand, Zeke sent another dagger into Joshua’s hand, nailing it to the wall.

“Argh!”

Joshua let out another agonizing scream.

Zeke insisted, “Recall them.”

“I’ll never take the wedding gifts back even if I die,” Joshua roared repeatedly like an angry leopard.

If he did that, it would be all for naught.

Zeke remarked, “Very well, I’m impressed with your tolerance for pain.”

With that, he flung out another dagger that pierced Joshua’s thigh.

By now, his whole body was covered in blood.
