Lacey didn't take the legal title Adam handed over to her. Instead, she turned around and looked at Zeke as she wanted to know what her next best course of action would be. Zeke smiled wryly.

Judging by the look he had on his face, he was certain Adam was aware that Jeremy was behind bars.

Although he knew what would await Lacey, he insisted on handing the legal title over to her.

Adam is such a mean guy. He didn't even bother holding back against her own granddaughter.

I shall stop showing you guys any mercy since you guys have no intention to hold back either.

Zeke told Adam, "We will take over the legal title under one condition."

"I want you to transfer the ownership of the title to Lacey. I don't want such conflict to occur anymore in the future."

That was precisely what Adam had in mind as he would be able to send Lacey behind bars and set Jeremy free once he transferred the ownership to Lacey.

He nodded. "Sure!"

Zeke reached for his phone and made a call.

Before long, someone from the Bureau of Land showed up.

Of course, they were part of Zeke's plan as well.

They carried out the required procedure online, right at the steel mill. The legal title was soon transferred to Lacey.

Lily had a wicked smile on her face the moment they verified the authenticity of the updated legal title.

"Great! Lacey, haven't you and your family gotten full of yourselves? How dare you humiliate me and ask me to get on my knees!"

"Hopefully you are able to keep it up behind bars as well!"

Adam replied in a sarcastic manner, "Lily, mind your manners!"

"After all, Lacey is your cousin. You should drop by and visit her occasionally once she's arrested."

Lacey and her family were confused by their words as they had no idea what was going on.

Lacey asked, "Lily, what do you mean by behind bars and visit us?"

"Fine! I'll tell you guys the truth. The Schneider family dropped by previously because the steels you produced weren't up to standards."

"As the person in charge of the steel mill, my dad was arrested by the cops."

"Thankfully, we're able to prove otherwise now that you have become the person in charge of the steel mill. I'll get the cops to arrest you and set my dad free soon!"

What?

Chills were sent down Lacey's and her family's spines.

They had been tricked by Lily and Adam.

It's a conspiracy against our family.

Dad and Lily want Lacey to take Jeremy's place behind bars.

It seems like Adam knew what's going on all along. How could he set Lacey up and...

Hannah broke into tears because of how abhorred she was. "Dad... You... That's too much!"

"Lacey is your granddaughter too! How could you..."

"Do you seriously consider yourself her grandfather?"

"You insolent fools!" Adam widened his eyes and pursed his lips. "You guys asked for it!"

"You shouldn't have produced such low-quality steels! You're the one who caused Jeremy to be sent behind bars!"

Daniel shouted angrily, "If it weren't because of the scheme you came up with Jeremy to take over the steel mill, he wouldn't have been sent behind bars either!" "He deserves it! He should have seen it coming his way!"

"I... I'll beat you to a pulp, you unfilial son!" Adam raised his walking stick and beat Daniel. "Jeremy is your brother! How can you say he deserves it?"

Daniel didn't evade his father's attack either. He allowed his father to hit him as he wanted.

The excruciating sensation he felt physically was nothing as compared to what he felt deep down.

His eye brimmed with tears, "Jeremy took over the steel mill in a hostile manner, yet you didn't even bother standing up for us."

"He wanted Lacey to take his place behind bars, yet you remained silent as well."

"However, you decided to beat me to a pulp just because I talked back against you and said he deserved it?"

"Have you never once thought that you are the biased one?"

"Biased? I'm your dad! I get to decide to whom am I biased towards on my own. Stop telling me how or what I should do!"

He hit Daniel once again with his walking stick as soon as he finished his sentence.

Lacey and her family were utterly disappointed.

Suddenly, Sirens were screaming at the steel mill's doorstep.

Lily was delighted. "Grandpa, it's the police!"

"I called them just now and told them that Lacey had become the steel mill's person in charge."

"I'm sure they're here to arrest Lacey!"
