Chapter 79
Hamilton Construction in Oakheart City.
Jackson came to the company uncharacteristically early.
He was also eyeing the Love in a Fallen City project launched by the Schneider family, so he wanted to
supervise and urge his employees to complete the bid proposal for the project as soon as possible.
If they won the tender, the Hamilton family would be able to make further progress and continue to go
further.
His secretary went up to him to give him a cup of coffee, and whispered, “Mr. Hamilton, I have found
out what you asked me to. Lacey is indeed interested in bidding for the Love in a Fallen City project
and is currently working on the bid proposal.”
Jackson frowned.
Of course, he didn't want Lacey to participate in the tender.
If Lacey's factory expanded, he would not be able to force Lacey to marry him.
In theory, Lacey's small steel mill was not qualified to join the bidding.
But after Zeke had brought in an order of 100 million from the Schneider family last time, Jackson
suspected that Zeke had some kind of special connections.
Hence, he had to take this matter seriously.
“I have to think of a way to stop Lacey from joining the tender.”
Frowning, he began to think hard to come up with a plan.
Soon, his eyes lit up as a feasible idea popped into his head.
He hurriedly said to his secretary, “Go and invite Adam and Jeremy over. Tell them it's about something
important.”
The secretary immediately nodded her head and went to do her job as told.
Before long, Adam and Jeremy were invited to the Hamiltons'.
Adam was worried. “Jeremy, why do you think Jackson asked us to come over?”
Jeremy heaved a sigh. “Alas, it must be because of Lacey again. When Zeke faked his death last time,
Jackson also went to his funeral. He had clearly said on the spot that he wanted us to send Lacey to
him within ten days, or else he will find a way to deal with our family. It's the ninth day today.”
Adam was at his wit's end. “Geez, this girl is so exasperating. That loser she got is not even worthy of
bootlicking Jackson. Why is she so stubborn? I won't ever let her off if our family is implicated because
of her!”
Jeremy said, “It's actually not that difficult to make Lacey marry Jackson.”
Adam asked with great interest, “What do you mean? Do you have a way to convince Lacey?”
Jeremy suggested in a lecherous manner, “When push comes to shove, we can drug Lacey and make
her sleep with Jackson—”
Adam gave Jeremy the stink eye. “Get lost.” He added, “Lacey is your niece, how can you even think of
doing such a despicable thing to her?”
Feeling guilty, Jeremy hurriedly said, “Dad, I'm just saying. I'm not really going to do it.”
At this moment, Jackson came in.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Adam rose to his feet and greeted respectfully, “Mr. Hamilton, you're here. Please, have a seat.”
Jackson took a seat and offered the two of them cigarettes. “Mr. Hinton, I've invited you over to discuss
matters pertaining to the wedding. How is the preparation coming on Lacey's side? I'm ready to marry
Lacey at any moment.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Adam had a ghastly expression on his face. “Um, Mr. Hamilton, don't worry. I will definitely persuade
Lacey when I go back. She's just too confused now.”
Jackson sighed in disappointment. “This is not the first time you have told me this. Do you think I will
still believe it?”
“Um...” Adam was embarrassed.
“How about I point you in the right direction?”
Adam's eyes instantly lit up. “Mr. Hamilton, do you have a way to convince Lacey?”
