Esme scoffed, “The Sullivan family isn’t shaken easily by scum like you.”
“Zeke deserved to die for humiliating our family repeatedly.”
“As for you, the accomplice, you will get to live but will be punished severely.”
“Disfigure her face so that she will never be with another man again.”
“At once!” The burly man barked.
Grabbing Lacey’s throat with one hand and holding a dagger in the other, he prepared to cut her face.
Meanwhile, Lacey struggled vigorously.
However, she was too weak to free herself from the burly man’s tight grasp.
As his dagger was about to touch Lacey’s cheeks, the burly man was jolted before freezing where he stood.
After that, he just stopped moving.
Esme bellowed, “What are you standing there for? Do it now!”
Clang!
A metallic sound rang out as the burly man’s dagger dropped onto the floor.
The next moment, he collapsed to the ground and was no longer breathing.

The Sullivans were all shocked.
At that moment, they realized to their horror that there was another dagger stabbed in the burly man’s back. No
one saw how it got there.
Meanwhile, blood was also spewing out from his body like a fountain.
Then, heavy footsteps could be heard rapidly approaching them.
When they followed the sound, they were shocked to see General North stomping his way towards them.
Without a doubt, the dagger at the burly man’s back was the work of General North.
F***, why is General North here.
The Sullivan family looked on in horror.
As General North’s frosty gaze was trained on Esme, she couldn’t help but tremble in fear.
“How can the illustrious Sullivan family be bullying a mere girl. And yet you have the gall to call yourself royalty?”
Every single one of the Sullivans was speechless and trembling in fear.
General North commanded, “A hundred slaps for each of you.”
“This is an order. Whoever disobeys will be executed on the spot.”
Hearing that, the Sullivans turned red in humiliation.
For them to slap themselves a hundred times over was an utter insult.
However, they dared not disobey General North, hence they bit the bullet and started slapping away.
When they were finished, Sole Wolf barked, “Leave!”
“Whoever comes to cause trouble again will not be shown any mercy!”
With that, the Sullivan fled like rats.
After they were gone, Esme was outraged as she fumed, “B*****, you think you’re oh so powerful with General
North by your side?”
“In front of Ares, he is nothing.”
“Just you wait. When Mrs. Thisleton makes her move, she will tear you apart!”
After the Sullivans left, Lacey inquired in tears, “General North, tell me if... something has happened to Zeke?”
When he saw how sad she was, Sole Wolf couldn’t bear to lie to her.
But, for the greater good, he didn’t dare to tell her the truth either.
All he could manage was to reassure her, “Ms. Hinton, things aren’t as bad as you think.”
Hearing that, Lacey closed her eyes in despair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGeneral North’s words were an implicit confirmation that something bad happened to Zeke.
Suddenly, she rushed outside. “You’re all lying to me. All of you must be colluding to lie to me.”
“Zeke is going to marry me, he won’t die until he does so.”
“I’m going to look for him now, and I will definitely find him.”
With that, Lacey went to the Linton Group, the Williams Manor, and all the other places that they frequented.
However, Zeke was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, she felt like dying.
When Zeke’s parents and Hannah Lawson heard about Zeke’s death, they too were devastated.
Lacey and Zeke were so close to achieving their dream of getting married.
But at the crucial moment, an accident foiled their plans.
No one could endure such a horrifying blow.
“The wedding will continue!” Lacey’s voice was filled with resolve as she wiped off her tears. “Even if Zeke is not
here, I’ll still be married to him.”
“For now and forever, I will always be his.”
