Chapter 1251

After thinking about it, Clyde nodded. “Fine.”

Then, he dialed Ichiro’s number. “Tell Missy Williams to get the phone.”

Soon, they could hear Missy’s crying through the phone.

“Mom, I don’t like this evil uncle. I want to go home!”

After hearing Missy’s sobs, Lacey felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.

Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

However, Lacey quickly consoled, “Be obedient, Missy. I promise that I’ll pick you up soon, okay? I’ll even buy you your favorite ice cream. You can eat it to your heart’s content!”

“Okay,” muttered Missy. “I’ll be obedient and stop crying. Come quickly, Mom...”

The phone hung up without any hesitation.

Lacey picked up the servitude contract carefully.

I’m sorry, Zeke. It seems like we won’t be growing old together anymore.

But, don’t worry. I’ll never do anything to betray you.

If he forces me to do something that I don’t like, I’ll commit suicide.

Clyde said coldly, “Lacey, are you still hoping that Zeke will come and save you? It’s about time you forget about it. To be honest, he’s already dead.”

When Lacey heard that, she looked up instantly. “You... You’re lying! How is it possible that he’s dead?”

Clyde replied, “There’s no use being in denial. Haven’t you notice that Zeke hasn’t contacted you for a few days already?”

Lacey retorted, “Zeke is the Great Marshal’s disciple, who often carries out top-secret missions. It’s normal to lose contact with him for a few days.”

Clyde laughed. “Stop consoling yourself. Zeke offended Prince Yamano. It’s natural that he would want to take Zeke’s life. In fact, he killed Zeke first before daring to coerce you and Missy.”

Lacey’s body trembled as she thought of the possibility.

Clyde’s words did sounded logical.

Only then did she realize that something bad might have happened to Zeke.

At that moment, she made a resolution.

After saving Missy and confirming that Zeke had really died, she would commit suicide and accompany him to the grave.

In the midst of her despair, a loud and clear voice pierced through the air.

“Who said that I’m dead?”

Zeke!

Both of them turned towards the source of the voice.

Zeke was striding into the living room steadily in large steps.

At that moment, Lacey felt immensely relieved and safe.

Sobbing, she pleaded, “Zeke, I knew that you’re fine! Please save our daughter!”

Wiping Lacey’s tears away tenderly, Zeke assured her, “Don’t worry, Lacey. With me here, nothing will happen to Missy.”

Lacey nodded. “We don’t have much time.”

After patting Lacey’s shoulder, Zeke walked towards Clyde, who stared at him in disbelief.

“How is this possible? How can you still be alive?”

It was impossible for Ichiro to be mistaken!

Zeke smirked coldly. “The person who’s going to die today, is you. I swear that if you don’t tell me where Missy is, I’ll kill you personally.”

Clyde yelled furiously, “How outrageous! We are the Thisletons, a family of noble soldiers protected by military law. If you dare to touch me, you’ll be court-martialed and punished!”

Smiling, Zeke replied, “I wrote the military laws myself. It’s ridiculous that you’re trying to punish me with the laws I made.”

This infuriated Clyde further. “B*****d! Everyone knows that the Great Marshal wrote the military laws himself. By claiming that you’re the one who drafted the laws, you’re insulting the Great Marshal! I’ll tell this to the Great Marshal and request him to punish you personally...”
