Of course, it wasn't only Lacey who was astounded, but also Hannah and Emily.
The men, now curled up in a ball, were paralyzed on the ground, groaning.
But the weak and lanky wimp, Zeke, stood upright, unscathed.
At this moment, the three of them were sharing the same doubts.
This wimp can fight?
Why did he hold back for the past five years if he can fight so well?
Is he the same Zeke Williams I've known for five years?
Emily was trembling the most.
She had mistreated Zeke many times in the past, and he never once retaliated.
Emily had always believed that the reason he didn't was because he couldn't defeat her.
But now it seemed like that wasn't it. He was just reluctant to hit her because one slap from him would have been lethal.
A slight feeling of regret flitted by in her heart. He endured five years of humiliation because of love. Just how deep was his love?
Too bad I lost it with my bare hands.
Zeke drew out a dagger, hurling it in front of the men.
“Who hit my mother-in-law and which hand did it? Chop it off yourself. It won't be just a hand if you force me to do it.”
Hannah jerked her head up, tears glistening in her eyes.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since someone protected her like this.
Not even her closest family member, her husband Daniel, had ever shown her such dominance.
But now, the useless 'son-in-law' whom she looked down on the most was going to chop off the other party's hand just because they slapped her.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched.
At Zeke's murderous intent, the ten men cast a glance at Emily for help with terror coursing through their veins.
Emily drew in a deep breath, trying hard to quell her thumping heartbeat.
