Chapter 61
Lacey and her family panicked.
Daniel told Zeke immediately, “Zeke, get the person from the Bureau of Land to transfer the land to me
instead!”
“I'll take Lacey's place behind bars!”
Zeke shook his head. “Dad, no one will be sent behind bars today.”
Daniel asked, “Why?”
Zeke assured Daniel, “I have faith in Lacey. She would never have produced such low-quality goods to
fulfil the contract.”
“Lacey, are you sure the steels you have provided the Schneider family fulfil the terms required?”
Lacey assured Zeke, “I have personally gone through every single batch of orders myself. I'm sure
every batch matched the quality and benchmark required.”
“I'm sure everything will be fine if that's the case,” said Zeke.
Hannah couldn't calm down. “But the Schneider family stated otherwise...”
Zeke said righteously, “It's the Schneider family's fault! Let's get them to compensate us for our loss!”
Pffft!
Lily could no longer hold back her laughter. “Get the Schneider family to compensate for your loss?
Have you lost your mind?”
The police car stopped.
Two police got out of the car followed by Jeremy.
Jeremy cast a provocative gaze at Daniel and sneered.
A policeman with a pair of glasses asked, “We received a call just now, and the person told us Jeremy
wasn't the person in charge of the steel mill. Instead, the person in charge is someone else.”
“May I know who's the person in charge of the steel mill?”
Lacey and Daniel replied simultaneously, “It's me.”
The police with a pair of glasses knitted his eyebrows. “Who exactly is the person in charge of the steel
mill?”
Lily got ahead of others before they could reply. “It's Lacey! The low-quality steels were produced under
her supervision. She admitted it just now!”
Daniel and Hannah had an awful expression on their faces.
Jeremy scolded Lacey, “Lacey, how could you do this to me? You're the reason I had to spend a night
in the cell! You shouldn't have resorted to such methods to generate profit!”
“Sir, please take her into custody and make her an example!”
“Such a loser doesn't have the right to proclaim herself as part of the Hinton family!”
The police with a pair of glasses looked at Lacey. “Are you sure you're the person in charge of the steel
mill?”
Lacey clenched her teeth and put on a strong front.
“Mm! I'm the person in charge of this steel mill! Please take me with you!”
“However, I will never admit I have provided low-quality steels to the Schneider family!”
To everyone's surprise, the man bowed and saluted Lacey respectfully.
“Ms. Lacey, actually we are here to compensate for your loss.”
“What happened was nothing, but a misunderstanding.”
“The Schneider family called us and said it was their mistake instead. They had proven your innocence
because no defective product had actually been detected.”
“To express their sincerity, the Schneider family has offered compensation worth a million.”
“We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and the inconvenience we have caused you. Please
forgive us.”
What the hell?
Everyone was dumbfounded all of a sudden as things took a drastic turn of events.
What happened was a misunderstanding?
Lacey doesn't have to spend her time behind bars? Instead, she got the Schneider family to
compensate them a million for their loss?
What the...
Jeremy and his family almost puked blood.
Lacey thought she must be hearing things. “Erm... Sir, I... I'm not hearing things, right?”
The police immediately reached for the portable safe box he had in the police car. “Ms. Lacey, you're
not hearing things. Here is the million from the Schneider family.”
“If there's nothing else, we shall take our leave now.”
“Of course, if you are displeased with what happened previously, you can sue us as well.”
Lacey stuttered all of a sudden upon realising how luck was on her side.
“I-It's... fine. I-I have no... intention to sue anyone. A-After all... I wasn't adversely affected either.”
Jeremy felt a strong urge to slap someone when he heard her words.
You weren't adversely affected, but I spent a night in the cell because of you! Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I deserve the fortune from the Schneider family! I will never hand it over to you!
