“Of course, it's not him.” A man suddenly laughed.

Everyone turned their heads, wondering who spoke.

A young man walked out of a Benz parked not far from them.

The man wore a branded suit and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti dress shoes, paired with a swiss watch.

“I heard that your family wanted to join the Grand Ceremony. So, I decided to get you some in the name of the Hamilton family.” Jackson nodded.

“Oh my! Thank you so much! This is a dream come true!” Hannah exclaimed.

Lacey did not want to marry such a playboy.

“Are you dumb? Jackson is showing us his gratitude. How can we reject something like this?” Hannah scolded. “Plus, the Clemons are out to get us. As long as we can get into the ceremony, our standings will definitely be higher. By then, the Clemons will have to think twice before they mess with us.” Zeke frowned os he hod not orronged for the tickets. “No, we don't need tickets to enter the ceremony.”

She hod olwoys dreomt of porticipoting in the Grond Ceremony ond see the Greot Morshol in the flesh. Yet, the chonce of her doing thot slipped owoy just like thot.

“Are you sure? How about I take you to the hospital?” Jackson offered.

“It's fine. She can rest here. Come on, let's go,” Hannah quickly stopped Jackson. She knew that there was no way they could change her daughter's mind.

“I see... I'll get the best doctor to check up on you once the ceremony is over,” Jackson nodded. He knew he would win her hand in marriage as long as he got Lacey's parents to side with him.

The three of them walked towards the gate as Lacey stared at them with admiration and disappointment.

She had always dreamt of participating in the Grand Ceremony and see the Great Marshal in the flesh. Yet, the chance of her doing that slipped away just like that.

Lacey turned to look at Zeke and said, “Come on, let's head back.”

However, Zeke shook his head. “No. We can't leave yet. In a few seconds, your parents will be denied entry into the ceremony, and they will be in trouble. I have to protect them.”

“Seriously, how can you joke with such a serious face?” Lacey laughed wryly. “Whatever. It's a waste to leave now since we’re already here.”

Lacey continued to stare at her parents.

On the other side, Jackson sighed at the Hintons. “I think Lacey doesn't like me that much.”

“What? Of course, she likes you. She just doesn't know it yet,” Hannah quickly comforted. “I'll talk to her

once we get back.”

“You don't have to worry about Zeke. That guy has nothing when compared to you,” Daniel added. “Zeke is more like a short-term fun for Lacey. She'll change her mind in a few days.”

“Thank you.” Jackson let out a sigh of relief.
