Bound to the Lord Protector

Chapter 126 Returning The Wedding Gifts

Lily and Emily turned around as they were confused by Zeke's words. The former got excited when she saw the fleet of luxurious cars. “They're from the Williams family from Atheville! They were the ones who delivered me my wedding gifts! I'm sure they're here to work out the details of our wedding!” Emily began to flatter Lily. “Congratulations, Lily!” Lacey grew envious as well; it was all over her face. Zeke asked with a smile, “Lacey, are you envious of Lily?” Lacey replied, “Duh... It's every women's dream to have a grand wedding ceremony! Look at how luxurious the team in charge of delivering the wedding gifts is! I'm sure it'll be a spectacular scene during their wedding ceremony!” Zeke assured Lacey, “You don't have to be envious of her. You have my word! Our wedding ceremony will be a hundredfold ostentatious than the one she has! It'll be something out of this world!” Lacey replied nonchalantly, “Ha!” Zeke was speechless once again. Silly girl! Love in a Fallen City is being constructed for you! It's a grand hall that'll accommodate ten thousand people! The construction of Love in a Fallen City has gotten everyone worked up, let alone holding a wedding ceremony in it, right? The fleet of luxurious cars stopped in front of the entrance. The senior officer led the way once again and approached them with a party of man in black behind him. All sorts of emotions engulfed him the moment he saw Zeke. He was the one who had been by Zeke's side ever since he was a child. He has never been the favourite child. His parents and grandmother had never once appreciated his presence. Meanwhile, his twin brother had always been everyone's sweetheart. Throughout the years, he's lived a miserable life. The kind of life that was worse than a servant.However, he's grown into an exceptional man! He's someone whom those from the Williams family could only look up to. What a strange world, huh? Things have always been unpredictable! He wished to drop by and greet Zeke, but the latter subtly shook his head and stopped him. Hence, the senior citizen had to put that thought aside. Meanwhile, Lily rushed over and greeted them, “Uncle Williams, are you here to discuss the details of the wedding with me? Where's my future husband? We have to sort out the details of our wedding!” The senior citizen replied indifferently, “I'm sorry, Ms. Hinton. You're not the one Mr. Williams has taken a liking towards. We've accidentally delivered the gifts to the wrong person.” “What!” Lily turned petrified by these words. “You've delivered the gifts to the wrong person? That's impossible! You verified my grandpa's identity back when you have dropped by to deliver the gifts, didn't you? He's Adam, Adam Hinton!” The senior officer replied, “The owner of the wedding gifts has a relative with the same name. It was a mere coincidence. Please return all the wedding gifts to us immediately.” WHAT! Lily's mind was blown away when she heard the request. I have to return the wedding gifts? I've just purchased the Hamilton Group using the wedding gifts! How can I return it to them? Damn it! Zeke was right! They've come to collect the wedding gifts! It must have been his curse! The senior officer got irritated when Lily remained silent for an extended period. “We're in a hurry! Please stop wasting our time!” Lily was horrified because she knew what would await her should she offend the Williams family. She would be doomed if she were to offend them. Her life would be at stake too. Lily stuttered and counter-offered, “I... I... Is it possible I return it tomorrow?” She had made up her mind and would get rid of the Hamilton Group within the same day. If that's the case, she would be able to sell it off for fifty thousand million and generate a profit of thirty thousand million. However, the senior officer shook his head. “I'm sorry, but that's impossible because we need it for the actual owner immediately.” Lily's mind was all over the place. It would be impossible for her to gather two thousand million within such a short period of time. She turned around and looked at Emily as she tried to seek her help. However, Emily had long gotten far away from her. Are you kidding me? It's the Williams family from Atheville we're talking about! They're such a prominent family! Even someone like Officer Hugh will turn into a nobody in front of the Williams family, let alone someone like me! In the end, Lily gritted her teeth and replied, “Uncle Williams, I'll tell you the truth.” “I just used up all the wedding gifts for the auction of the Hamilton Group. Is it fine for me to hand over the Hamilton Group to you instead? The Hamilton Group has a net worth of ten thousand million! It sounds like a bargain, right?” However, the senior officer paid no heed to Lily's words. “I'm sorry, but such a trivial conglomerate like the Hamilton Group means nothing to us. “We're here for the gifts. If worse comes to worst, feel free to compensate us two thousand million in cash. We'll acquire the items again.”
