Chapter 19
“Let us offer our blessings to the Great Marshal and his fiancé!”
As soon as Lone Wolf finished his speech, the crowd exploded into cheers. Everyone was eager to see
who the lucky lady was.
An army, armed with swords and dressed in uniforms, walked down the stage and into the crowd. All of
them had gifts in their hands.
The gift boxes were all made from pure gold and decorated with pearls and diamonds.
The crowd couldn't help but wonder what kind of gifts were inside the boxes as the boxes could be
considered as gifts themselves.
With Lone Wolf in the lead, the army walked towards Emily and Lacey who they stood together.
Emily's face was already covered in tears, while Lacey's face was in despair.
The moment the Great Marshal proposed was the moment the Hinton family perished.
Without giving much thought, Lacey tried to hide. Zeke stopped her immediately. “Don't move.”
Lacey turned and stared at Zeke furiously.
What? Do you want me to suffer embarrassment?
Lone Wolf stopped a meter away from both ladies and saluted.
“Please, accept these gifts from the Great Marshal himself.”
Emily looked at the gifts and thought of herself as the happiest woman ever.
“T-thank you...” Emily replied with her shaky voice.
Lone Wolf frowned and stared at Emily. “Who the hell are you? Get lost!”
“W-what?” Emily couldn't believe her ears.
“Everyone must remain a meter away from the Great Marshal’s fiancé, except for the Great Marshal
himself!” Lone Wolf pushed Emily away.
Emily was completely stunned as she realized she wasn’t the woman the marshal was going to
propose to.
A-a meter away?
Emily looked around her. There was only one person standing a meter away from Lone Wolf.
The woman that was being proposed to was Lacey.
That realization turned Emily's world upside down.
Lacey was completely stunned. She turned to look at Emily and then at Lone Wolf.
Her surprised expression is so cute. Zeke chuckled.
Lacey thought she was dreaming, or to be more precise, she couldn't accept the truth.
Lone Wolf saluted her again. “Mrs. Marshal, please accept the gifts. One Rolls Royce, one manor, 888
million in cash, and 50 kilos worth of jewels.”
Lacey stared at him, speechless.
The crowd couldn't help but exclaim as each of the gifts was worth millions.
Lacey shivered as she pointed at herself. “You... you mean me?”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes,” Lone Wolf nodded.
Lacey could not believe her ears, while Daniel fell to the floor, grasping his chest. The older man was
having a heart attack, which wasn't a huge surprise...
Zeke quickly fed Daniel a miracle pill to help with the heart attack.
Instead of worrying about her husband, Hannah just stared at Lacey with tears in her eyes. In just an
instant, her family had risen from the ashes to the highest point.
“Lacey! Say yes!” Hannah cried.
Yet, Lacey did not give her reply.
The Great Marshal who could face thousands of armies without changing his expression grew worried.
Lone Wolf and the army were more anxious than Zeke himself.
“Why did the Great Marshal suddenly propose to a stranger like me?” Lacey suddenly asked.
