Chapter 88
Dawn shrieked in terror. She quickly grabbed the fruit knife on the table and pressed it against her
neck.
“Please don't come near me, I will kill myself if you do.”
Then, she cut her neck slightly with the knife as a warning.
Upon seeing that, Jackson stopped in his tracks.
He wasn't ready to see anyone die in front of him.
He clenched his teeth, “Take it easy.”
He took out his phone and dialled Lacey's number.
Meanwhile, Lacey and Zeke were waiting in the Schneider family's conference room for Evan
Schneider's arrival.
Lacey felt strange to see Jackson calling her. Nonetheless, she picked up the call.
“Where are you right now?” Jackson asked.
“In the conference room of the Schneider family,” Lacey replied.
“Great. You have two choices now. Number one, sign the contract with the Schneider family, and Dawn
Castaneda will be dead. Number two, admit that the insulting bid proposal was from you, and I will let
Dawn Castaneda go.”
What?
Lacey jumped in terror. “Dawn... What did you do to her?”
Jackson replied, “Don't worry, she's still alive.”
“But I cannot guarantee if she will still be alive tomorrow.”
Then, he hung up the phone abruptly.
Lacey was shell-shocked and fell on the floor. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Zeke was shocked as well. He held Lacey hurriedly and asked, “What happened, Lacey?”
Lacey started stammering, “Quick... Quick... go to the Hamilton family and save Dawnie...”
“Jackson has Dawnie.”
What?
A gleam of murderous intent flashed in Zeke's eyes.
Is Jackson asking for death?
He consoled Lacey and said, “Don't worry, I will get Dawnie out.”
“I promise you she will be alright.”
Lacey took a deep breath as she said, “I will go with you.”
Zeke replied, “No, you just wait here.”
“Isn't Jackson trying to force you to admit that the insulting bid proposal is from you, is it? If so, you can
try to buy time by pretending to agree to his terms.”
“Give me half an hour. I promise I will bring Dawnie back to you safely.”
Lacey took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
It seemed like the best solution for now.
She nodded, “Zeke, please get her back safely.”
Zeke nodded and left the Schneider family's house.
After he got into the car, he made a phone call to Lone Wolf.
“Lone Wolf, bring the armed forces in. We're going to the Hamilton family's house in Oakheart City.”
“The game is on.”
Lone Wolf replied, “Roger that!”
Zeke left with his car and soon arrived at Hamilton Construction.
Two security guards stopped him at the entrance, “Back off, no outsiders allowed.”
Zeke punched them in their faces.
The security guards were caught off guard by his quick punches. They fell onto the ground while blood
spluttered out of their mouths.
“Nobody can stop me!”
Zeke walked in the building.
Despite the pain, the security guards took out their walkie-talkies. “Mr. Hamilton, Zeke is here.”
“Did he bring anyone with him?” Jackson asked.
The security guard replied, “No, he came here alone.”
Jackson sneered, “Very good, let him in.”
“It's time to settle some old scores.”
“All of the security guards are to gather in my office immediately.”
Zeke soon arrived on the tenth floor of the building without any obstacles.
Zeke knew it was Jackson's trick.
However, Zeke was a military veteran. He wouldn't care less about the trick Jackson had pulled.
Bang! He kicked open the office's door and walked in straight.
He was stunned at the sight he saw before him.
Dawn held onto a fruit knife and pressed it against her neck. Her shirt collar was soaked in blood from
her neck.
She looked pale as if she would pass out anytime.
Jackson and his men stood beside her, glaring at Zeke like ravening tigers.
Dawn fell into despair when she saw Zeke coming into the room alone.
How can he beat Jackson's men all by himself?
“Brother-in-law, get out of here.” Dawn welled up with tears as she said it.
Zeke didn't heed the warning and walked straight up to Dawn.
“Don't worry, Dawnie. Your blood will not be shed in vain.”
