Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid
Chapter 20

"10 years ago, the Great Marshal was penniless and homeless. It was you who gave him a coat and a jade pendant as a comfort," Lone Wolf explained. "That was how the Great Marshal came to be." "I see! That was him? I've never thought that he would become the Great Marshal!" Lacey exclaimed. "But please tell the Great Marshal that we aren't suited to be together..."

Everyone could not believe their ears.

Lacey has just rejected the Great Marshal's marriage proposal.

"May I know the reason?" Lone Wolf asked.

"The Great Marshal is proposing to me because he feels like he owes me. I'm not looking forward to a marriage without love," Lacey explained. "To be frank, we aren't living in the same world either. Plus, I already have a husband."

Lacey turned to look at Zeke.

Lone Wolf wanted to say something, but Zeke stopped him with a glare.

"I-I see... Then, we shall respect Ms. Hinton's decision," Lone Wolf said and signaled the army to retreat. "Honored guests, please, enjoy your meal."

The crowd finally quieted down and sat down respectively.

As Madeleine and Emily quietly sat down, Lone Wolf stared at them and scolded, "What the hell are you two doing? Join the servants! How dare you try to sit with these VIPS?"

Emily and Madeleine could not hide their embarrassment. Zeke was right again.

They stumbled into the corner and joined the other servants.

"Lacey, why did you reject the marshal?" Zeke asked after they were seated.

"I'm just a normal citizen. There's no way I'm a match for someone as special as the Great Marshal," Lacey explained. "Plus, I don't think I can get used to such an extravagant life." Zeke couldn't help but smile warmly.

Special? Fine. I'll make you into a special woman first. Not used to an extravagant life? Then I'll make your business successful first!

The servants began to serve the food. Perhaps it was God's doing, but both Emily and Madeleine were assigned to the table where the Hintons were seated.

Emily took a huge hit due to the sudden changes in their status.

And now, she still had to serve the Hinton family. It was so embarrassing; Emily even thought of dying.

Hannah wasn't going to let the chance slip by. She quickly took her phone out and took pictures of the Clemons.

Emily and her mother were furious, but they couldn't do anything about it.

The ceremony ended in a few hours.

As soon as the Hintons were out of the hall, Hannah scolded Lacey. "Seriously... How can you be so dumb? Are you trying to kill me?"

"It's not too late to accept the marshal's proposal," Daniel added. "This is the only chance for our family to shine."

Lacey only nodded silently.

"Don't worry, I can make you guys successful even without the name of the Great Marshal," Zeke said.

"You? You dare compare yourself to the marshal?" Daniel scolded. "Did you forget you're working for Lacey? You don't even have the position to say that.'

"I see! The reason we get to enter the Grand Ceremony was all because of Lacey. You dare to take all the credit?" Hannah scolded Zeke. "I'm warning you. You'll have to go back to whichever ditch you came from if Lacey decides to marry the marshal! Let's go!"

The older couple walked to their car as Lacey looked at Zeke with mixed feelings.

The woman could tell that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
