Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 21

The Hintons and Clemons both arrived back at their district around the same time.

The whole neighborhood was waiting to welcome Emily back to try and get on her good side.

All of them thought that Emily had become the wife of the Great Marshal. As Emily got out of her car, the neighbors quickly surrounded her and cheered.

One of the neighbors who had always hated Hannah cheered the loudest.

“Emily, how did the proposal go? You saw the Great Marshal, right? He must be so dreamy!” The neighbor complimented while sneaking a stare at Hannah. “I told you, you're the only person who's gorgeous enough to marry the marshal. I'm right, aren't I? Luckily some idiot took your ex away from you!”

Emily did not say anything and ran back home instead.

“I can't believe how a person can be so stupid,” Hannah smirked. “Take a look at the mirror before you try to suck up to someone else.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” The neighbor scolded. “So what if I'm sucking up to the Clemons? It'll all be worth it! As for you, your end is near!”

“Oh? That's funny. Let's see who is going to meet her end soon,” Hannah laughed and sent the few pictures she took at the ceremony to the community's group chat.

Notification tones rang throughout the crowd.

The neighbors retrieved their phones, their eyes widening as the photos had been clearly taken from inside the ceremony. It proved that Hannah and her family had been invited.

Yet, that wasn't the main point. The pictures showed the Hintons sitting at the VVIP table while the Clemons worked as servants to the Hintons.

There was even a picture where a colonel saluted to Lacey with priceless gifts behind him.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The crowd exploded. Zeke was right about the Clemons being invited to the ceremony as servants!

The woman the Great Marshal had planned to propose to was Lacey.

The neighbors quickly surrounded the Hintons and began to flatter the family as they cursed at the Clemons.

As for the neighbor who hated Hannah, her face turned so pale that she almost fainted. It took the woman some time to regain her posture before trying to suck up to Hannah like everyone else.

“Hannah, I'm so sorry! My eyes were blind! Please forgive my rudeness! Look at you and your beautiful daughter! I'm so jealous of you! The Clemons are nothing more than mere servants to you.”

Hannah went back home with a huge grin on her face. But before she went into her house, she took out a hundred-dollar bill and gave it to Zeke. “Go and get us some food. We're celebrating tonight!”

Hannah then pulled her daughter back home and slammed the door behind Zeke.

Zeke was dumbfounded as Hannah had just asked the Great Marshal to go and prepare food for dinner.

Yet, Zeke had no choice but to do as he was told.

As for Daniel and Hannah, they kept trying to persuade their daughter to rethink her decision.

As soon as Zeke walked out of the district, he got a call from Lone Wolf.

“Marshal, what should we do with Jackson?”
