Chapter 1116

Back at Cygnus room, Zeke told Sole Wolf, “Now, I am supposed to have been ‘killed’ by the Iron Cavalry.”

“So, I’ll have to hide for a while until the wedding on National Day.”

“Until then, my enemies will still try and harm Lacey. You have to protect her from the shadows.”

“Understood!”

With that, Sole Wolf quickly left.

Meanwhile, Zeke called the Demon and Rosie White.

“Help me investigate something.”

“Half a year ago, there’s a group of people who infiltrated Atheville.”

“Closer to National Day, they might become more active.”

“Find them and observe them first. Don’t do anything beyond that.”

“Yes, Sir!” The Demon and Rosie acknowledged their orders in unison.

The next morning, Lacey left her parents’ home but didn’t head to the office. Instead, she went back to her own villa first.

Zeke had told her last night that his friends were going to stay there for the time being. They were going to be his best men for the wedding.

Worried that they would disrupt her sleep, he sent her back to her parents’ place for the night.

Now that Zeke’s friends were here, Lacey felt it would be rude if she didn’t drop by to say hi.

She even bought enough breakfast to feed ten people.

But when she arrived at the villa, she was surprised to find it empty. Not a single soul was around.

“Strange. Did Zeke go to the office early? Since when did he become so hardworking?”

Without giving it much thought, Lacey turned to leave.

Just when she opened the door and walked out, she bumped into a burly man and fell backwards.

Rubbing her forehead in pain, she looked at the burly man. “Who are you? Are you Zeke’s friend?”

The man sneered, “Haha, a dead man can’t call me his friend.”

Dead man?

What does he mean?

Lacey was stunned.

As the burly man stepped aside, a few other people emerged behind him.

It was Esme Sullivan and her subordinates.

Seeing her, Lacey began to tense up.

Why are the Sullivans here?

Zeke had gotten General North to conscript a large number of their subordinates a while ago.

Have they not learnt their lesson?

Lacey demanded nervously. “What are you doing here?”

“Zeke is almost home, you better leave while you still can.”

“Or else, he won’t let you go easily.”

Esme sneered, “Haha, to use a dead man to threaten us, that is the ultimate joke.”

Puzzled, Lacey asked, “What do you mean?”

Esme replied, “Don’t you know?”

“Zeke is dead, we’re here to mourn for him.”

That’s impossible!

Lacey gasped in shock, “You’re lying!”

“I still saw Zeke last night and he was doing just fine.”

Esme added with a diabolical smile, “Don’t you believe me? Why don’t you give him a call and see if anyone picks up?”

Lacey then quickly called Zeke’s number.

However, no one answered after a few tries.

Her heart began to sink slowly.

Can Zeke be really dead?

No, how can that be?

He is going to make me his wife.

Subconsciously, tears began to well up in her eyes.

Turning hysterical, she ran outwards. “You’re lying! Zeke can’t be dead.”

“I’m going to find him. He must be at the Linton Group office as usual.”

At that moment, Esme shot a glance at the burly man who immediately stood at the door to block it.

As Lacey tried her best to push her way out, she sobbed, “Move aside! I want to find Zeke!”

“You’re spewing lies. Zeke won’t forgive you easily.”
