Chapter 319

Lacey nodded, “Yes.”

Isn’t getting a one billion project a simple task?

This building alone costs one billion.

My Love in a Fallen City project raised at least ten billion.

“Pfft, stop praising him,” Nancy huffed. She obviously did not believe Lacey and thought that she was merely defending her husband.

Right then, the door opened.

Zeke charged into the room. “Lacey, I’m back.”

Upon seeing him, a blissful smile appeared on Lacey’s face.

She hurriedly poured Zeke a glass of water. “You must be tired. Here’s some water. Why are you back so late? Did you pick up Hudson’s parents?”

Zeke chugged down half the water before replying, “No, they refused to come to the city. But I’ve made the necessary arrangements. They won’t have anything to worry about for the rest of their lives.”

Lacey nodded. “Good.”

“By the way, let me introduce you to my cousin, Nancy Hinton.”

“Nancy, this is my husband, Zeke Williams.”

Zeke stretched his hand out politely. “Hello.”

However, Nancy merely glanced at his hand and ignored him.

His hair’s messy, and he didn’t shave his beard. He’s even wearing tattered clothes like a beggar.

If Lacey’s really married to him, they are like Beauty and the Beast!

She had no idea that this man was the hero whom she had been looking for.

Zeke frowned.

Seems like Nancy has a prejudice against me.

Suddenly, Nancy took out five hundred from her purse and gave it to Zeke. “Take it.”

Both Lacey and Zeke were stunned. What is she doing?

Lacey asked, “Nancy, what are you doing?”

Nancy responded, “You don’t have a good appetite, right? Take the money and do a thorough check-up at the hospital.”

Zeke was curious. “You’re a doctor? But I can eat well. I am fine.”

“You can eat well? You’re fine? Then why are you living off my sister?”

Zeke was rendered speechless.

Why does she hate me that much?

“Hahahaha!”

Upon seeing Zeke’s defeated look, Lacey laughed so hard that she had almost cried.

Usually, it would be Zeke who would criticize others, but today he was the one being criticized.

He’s so adorable! Ha ha ha ha!

As Nancy seemed unfriendly, Zeke was no longer polite to her, “What’s wrong? Are you upset because I’m living off her?”

Nancy returned, “Of course. You’re an adult, but you’re living off your wife. Even a dog will look down on you.”

Zeke was unaffected. “Ha! I’m glad you are upset over that fact.”

“Honey, give me my living expenses for next month. I’m starving.”

“Honey, give me five hundred grand so I can buy a car.”

“Honey, can you increase my allowance? You give me too little. I can spend half my allowance on a meal with my friends.”

Lacey did not know what to say.

Zeke was acting like a kept man shamelessly!

Nancy’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh dear, you’re so shameless! Why are you getting an allowance from your wife so matter-of-factly?”

“You wimp, boy toy, shameless jerk. You should die. You don’t deserve to be a man! Ugh, this is so frustrating. Lacey, if you marry him, I’ll die in front of you!”

Zeke laughed dryly, “Ha!”

I like how you look when you’re upset yet can’t do anything about it!

Lacey could not hold back her laughter.

It had been ages since she saw Nancy being so mad.
