Julian chuckled darkly. “Stop with the act. Do you really not know who I am? Should I call you sis, or should I just call
you Lacey?”
Lacey was confused. “Sis? What do you mean?”
Julian looked at Lacey suspiciously.
Her confusion seemed genuine.
Could it be that she hasn’t heard of her true identity yet?
That made things much easier for Julian.
He asked carefully, “Lacey, do you know who the Thistleton family is?”
Lacey was starting to lose her temper. “Who are you? Quit with the nonsense. I don’t know who the Thistleton
family is, and I’m not your sister, either. Please leave.”
Julian was overjoyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo Lacey really doesn’t know who she is.
“You and the Linton Group are the ones who have to leave,” Julian stated as a matter of fact.
“What for?”
“The Linton Group is a threat to both the Great Marshal and Ares. Both of them have demanded all of you move out
of Atheville,” Julian said.
How can that be?
Lacey found what he had just told her hard to believe. “The new Linton Group has no way of catching neither the
Great Marshal nor Ares’ attention, much less be a threat to them. You’re making things up.”
Julian sighed. “You want me to pull out the big guns? Fine. I’m the firstborn of Ares and an apprentice to the Great
Marshal. The Linton Group is not only a threat to them but to me as well. I was the one who asked Ares and the
Great Marshal to make such a demand. You should know what to do.”
Lacey instantly flew into a panic.
If everything he had just said was true, the Linton Group wouldn’t be able to survive much longer.
Zeke was also a student of the Great Marshal, but the man in front of her had Ares’ additional support backing him.
His position of double privilege was enough to run Zeke to the ground.
However, the Linton Group had just moved here from Rivermouth.
It might not survive having to move everything back.
Right as she was stressing over what to do, Julian’s eyes fell upon the pregnancy test in her hand.
His expression turned stony. “What’s that you’re holding on to?”
Lacey obviously wasn’t about to show this stranger something so private.
She hurriedly tucked the pregnancy test away. “Nothing.”
Julian grew suspicious and stalked toward Lacey. “Is that a pregnancy test? Are you pregnant? Show it to me.”
Lacey was already enough of a threat to his position in the Thistleton family.
If she were to give birth to a child, that would be an even bigger threat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was common knowledge that Ares was fond of children. If Lacey gave birth, Ares would definitely give that child
everything he had.
“Screw off!” Lacey yelled. “This is a personal matter. You have no right to know about such things.”
However, Julian ignored her words and suddenly stepped forward, snatching the pregnancy test away.
When he saw the two lines on the small stick, his eyes glinted with anger.
Die!
The baby in Lacey’s stomach has to die.
Julian acted as if he was walking out before he suddenly closed the door and locked it. He then pulled out a dagger.
“You have three choices. One, you jump off this building, Two, I bring you to the hospital, and you get an abortion.
Three, I give you an abortion right here and now, but it’ll be much more violent.”
What?
Lacey’s face paled rapidly.
How sick can the man in front of me be?
He just talked about harming the baby in my belly!
