Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid
Chapter 18

The Hinton family walked into the luxurious hall. It was filled with people that they'd only seen on TVs and the news. It felt as if they were in a dream.

It was then that Lacey realized Zeke was not putting up an act.

"Zeke... S-seriously, what the heck is all this?" Lacey asked in a trembling voice.

Both Daniel and Hannah also laid their eyes on Zeke.

"You'll know soon," Zeke smiled as he believed the Hinton family should be able to guess his identity once he proposed.

Seeing that Zeke wasn't going to come clean; Hannah and her husband chose not to question him any further.

All the older couple could feel at that moment was regret, as Zeke was much more reliable than Jackson Hamilton.

They couldn't believe how stupid they were to try and please Jackson and ignore Zeke instead.

The only question that remained was how Zeke managed to enter the ceremony without a ticket.

Could he be the Great Marshal? But... There's just no way the Great Marshal was once a convict, right?

"What? Zeke Williams! How the heck did you get in here?" A voice shouted.

The Hintons and Zeke turned. It was Emily and her mother.

"Is there a rule that says we can't?" Lacey asked.

"Your presence here is a humiliation to the ceremony," Emily snorted.

"Oh, right! I remember that the ceremony was hiring servants! They must've got the job," Madeleine recalled.

"I see!" Emily laughed. "It's normal for a whole family to work as servants."

"I can't imagine how stupid you must be to not understand the position you're currently in." Zeke frowned.

"Position my ass! It's simple. We're the masters and you're the servants," Emily chuckled. "Hannah! Go get me some coffee. Milk, no sugar!"

"You know what, Lacey, take my phone." Zeke laughed and gave his phone to Lacey. "Remember to take photos of them serving people and send them to the group chat. We shouldn't enjoy that view ourselves."

Lacey quickly nodded. Even though she did not believe that the Clemons were at the ceremony as servants, Zeke's words were a pleasure to hear.

"You! Just you wait! The Great Marshal is going to propose to me later!" Emily roared. "I'll have your family buried by then!"

Hannah and Daniel could not hide their worries when they heard what Emily had said. Both of them stared at Zeke, warning him not to anger Emily even more.

Suddenly, the light dimmed, and the music grew louder in the hall.

"Quiet down!" someone ordered through the microphone.

The noise lessened and the crowd shifted their attention to the stage.

Emily moved her finger through her throat at Lacey and warned, "The Great Marshal is going to propose to me soon! That will be your end!"

Lacey's face turned pale, but Zeke grabbed her hand to give her comfort.

Lone Wolf appeared on the stage as the host. His tall figure and serious face were enough to scare any crowd.

Lone Wolf scanned the people before he started to address. "To tell you the truth, the Great Marshal never wanted to host the Grand Comeback Ceremony, but your passion has moved him. He decided to honor that tonight. But, as you all know, the Great Marshal doesn't like to make public appearances... Well, unless you are his enemy. That is why he won't appear in front of everyone today. But the Great Marshal still wants to thank all of you for attending this ceremony.

Even though the crowd could not meet the marshal, not a lot of them were disappointed as they had predicted it. Being able to join the ceremony was already more than they could ever ask for. "The Great Marshal only has one agenda today," Lone Wolf continued. "And that is to propose to his future wife."
