Chapter 1118

Hannah was filled with tears as she hugged Lacey, crying. “Oh, my poor daughter...”

Meanwhile, Diego clenched both his fists and gritted his teeth. “F***! I’ll get to the bottom of this and find the murderer!”

“None of them will be spared!”

The last few days, Zeke was hiding at the Cygnus Room’s temporary base of operations.

Of course he was constantly monitoring Lacey’s movements.

When he heard that Lacey was willing to go on with the wedding and marry him even though he was “dead”, he couldn’t help but feel touched and guilty at the same time.

“Lacey, I’m sorry to have brought this upon you.”

“It isn’t easy being the wife of a soldier.”

“But, don’t worry. On National Day, I will organize the most glorious wedding the world has ever seen for you!”

As time flew by, it was finally National Day.

Everyone in the country was celebrating.

However, Lacey and her family were buried deep in sadness.

Lacey wore a white wedding gown.

Although the design was simple, it still made her look glamorous and stunning.

The bridesmaids were Dawn Castaneda and Nancy Hinton.

When both of them heard about Zeke’s death, they too wailed over it.

Therefore, they had to suppress their anguish to be Lacey’s bridesmaids.

Even they were feeling devastated, let alone Lacey herself.

“Nancy,” Lacey suddenly said, “Put on my veil for me. The wedding is about to begin.”

“Alright!”

With tears rolling down her cheeks, Nancy carefully covered Lacey’s face with the veil.

For this special wedding, there wasn’t going to be any of the usual fanfare.

Can Lacey go through with it?

Even if she can, it would still be devastating for her.

Damn you, Zeke, how dare you do this to my sister!

If you’re disloyal to her in hell, I won’t ever forgive you.

Meanwhile, Dawn passed Lacey her bouquet of flowers. “Lacey, you’re the most beautiful woman in the world today.”

Prior to this, what she had planned to say was that Lacey would be the happiest woman in the world.

However, the word ‘happy’ was far from how she felt now.

Hence, Dawn decided to change it to ‘beautiful’ instead.

Finally, it was time for the wedding to begin.

Holding her phone in her hand, Lacey found Zeke’s picture and mumbled a few words.

“Zeke, I’m finally going to be married to you. Are you happy?”

“Nancy, Dawnie, let’s go.”

Both Dawn and Nancy felt a weight on their chest and could hardly breathe.

The wedding arrangements were simple.

Daniel and Hannah would personally escort Lacey to the Williams residence.

There, she would pay her respects to both Zeke’s parents and that would seal the marriage.

Just when she was about to leave, they heard a commotion outside.

Daniel scolded, “What you doing here!”

“You’re not welcomed here. Please leave.”

It was Esme who replied in an indifferent voice, “I am the groom’s grandmother.”

“Since it’s my grandson’s wedding, I’m here to deliver some gifts.”

Bang!

The next second, the doors were flung open forcefully.

Esme entered with her subordinates behind her.

Besides her, another noble and charming middle-aged lady stepped in.

She was Mrs. Thisleton.

As Nancy and Dawn clenched their fists, they stared daggers at the new guests.

Everyone knew that Zeke’s death was somehow related to them.

Lacey bellowed, “Who let you in.”

“Will you only rest when we’re dead?”

Scrutinizing Lacey from head to toe, Lilith sighed, “She looks just like her. She’s the spitting image of her mother.”
