Chapter 109 They Are Not Part of the Lowe Family
Miranda’s face remained cold as ice in the face of Frederick’s confession.
In the next second, she bypassed Frederick who was kneeling on one knee and got into the car directly, slamming the door shut with a loud bang. Lachlan saw this and his eyes flickered. He didn’t know why, but he felt relieved deep down inside.
Although he reminded himself constantly that he and Miranda were not truly married, after everything they had been through together, he couldn’t help but care about her deeply. Lachlan had to admit that just now he was a little nervous. Deep down in his heart, he didn’t want to see Miranda accept Frederick’s confession.
“Miranda! Miranda, please give me another chance!” When Frederick saw this scene unfold before him, his expression of deep affection froze instantly. He stood up and wanted to go over to pester Miranda again.
However at this moment Lachlan finally moved; with a flash of his body, he blocked Frederick’s path in front of him.
“I’m sorry,” Lachlan sneered coldly. “It seems like my wife doesn’t want anything to do with you.”
“Wife?” When Frederick heard the word his expression instantly turned dark, “How is that possible? How could Miranda get married so quickly?”
He stared at Lachlan resentfully for a few moments before disdainfully saying, “You’re her husband? What makes you worthy enough for her? No one except me can match up with her!”
Hearing these words made Lachlan feel like punching him, “Who do you think you are?”
Frederick sneered coldly and showed a hint of provocation, “I am Miranda’s first love; she loved me so much back then that she would have died for me! Don’t you know? Do you know why she looks so icy when she sees me? It’s because there is still some part of her heart that belongs to me! She can only use such behavior as an attempt at hiding her feelings!”
“Kid,” said Frederick as if challenging him further, “let’s wait and see what happens next! I will definitely make sure that Miranda changes her mind and returns back into my arms!”
After speaking these words out loud, he glanced resentfully towards Bentley before leaving immediately afterwards.
Lachlan squinted his eyes while watching Porsche drive away before returning back into the car.
“What did he say to you? Don’t listen to his nonsense; I and him are already in the past tense!”
After Lachlan got on the car, Miranda hesitated for a moment and finally explained to Lachlan.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan felt somewhat inexplicably comforted.
With Miranda’s proud personality, he didn’t expect her to explain to him.
This showed that she cared about his feelings.
“I know, who hasn’t had a past?” Lachlan shook his head, indicating that he didn’t take it to heart.
But what he didn’t notice was the deep worry and concern in Miranda’s eyes!
…
Tonight was Vincent’s business exchange meeting.
At six o’clock in the evening, luxury cars were already gathered at the door of Edoland’s five-star Delight Hotel. Rich businessmen and entrepreneurs from Kreanford and even surrounding areas came one after another.
This business exchange meeting was hosted by Kreanford’s richest man. Who wouldn’t want to get close to him and build more connections here?
At this time, Lachlan drove with Goddess CEO and Emmanuel couple to the entrance of Delight Hotel.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Mason wasn’t interested in this kind of business exchange meeting so he did not come.
“Lachlan, do you really have Mr. Reid’s invitation?”
After getting off the car, Emmanuel still asked worriedly.
Originally they did not want to come for fear of being kicked out and becoming a laughing stock. But because of Lachlan’s unexpected performance at yesterday’s birthday banquet they came with a glimmer of hope.
“Don’t worry! Look, isn’t this it?”
Lahclan smiled as he took out Vincent’s gold-plated invitation card given to him for them three people looked at it together.
“That’s good.” Cara nodded relievedly.
Actually they didn’t recognize this invitation card, but since Lachlan said it was real then it must be true.
“Hey! You guys really dare come!”
Just then a sarcastic voice sounded as they unexpectedly met Victoria along with Romeo family trio, Miranda’s uncles, aunties etc – all direct members from the Lowe family.
Even those from Lowe family wanted more connections on Vincent’s event. Moreover, they also needed to meet some herbal medicine wholesalers during this event so as solve their company shortage problem.
They were all dressed in formal attire, looking exquisite and immaculately groomed, giving the impression that they were all upper-class individuals.
Just now, the one who spoke up, wasn’t it Harlow? Who else could it be?
Romeo approached Emmanuel with a sly smile and asked, “Emmanuel, I didn’t expect to see you here! What brings you here?”
“Of course we’re here for the exchange meeting. What else would we be doing?” Emmanuel replied coldly.
“You need an invitation to attend this exchange meeting. Do you have one?” Romeo teased.
With that, he gestured towards the security personnel responsible for maintaining order at the entrance, “Security, make sure to check these four people thoroughly and see if they have an invitation.”
At this moment, Victoria gave a cold glance at Emmanuel’s family and pulled out her invitation, “This is our Lowe family’s invitation. I brought all of us from the Lowe family to attend Mr. Reid’s exchange meeting!”
She then pointed her finger at Emmanuel’s family intentionally, “However, not including these four people. They are no longer members of the Lowe family. If they try to use our name to get in there, you must not allow it!”
Upon hearing this statement from Victoria, Emmanuel looked at her with a mix of sadness and indignation on his face.
“Mom! Are you really so ruthless?”
Cara and Miranda both had grim expressions as well.
Victoria was heartless enough to fear that they might use their affiliation with the Lowe family as leverage just so they could enter together?
This kind of behavior was truly chilling!
“Don’t call me mom! Our family doesn’t have anyone like your selfish selves who disregard everything just because it suits them! As long as Miranda doesn’t marry Mr. Austin, don’t even think about coming back into our fold!” Victoria said sternly.
“Haha! You guys came over here just trying to sneak in under the name of ‘the Lowe family,’ right? But unfortunately for you guys -you’ve been kicked out!” Eliza sneered mockingly.
Harlow was beaming with pride, pointing to the luxurious cars outside the door. “Do you see them? The big bosses and entrepreneurs attending today’s exchange meeting are all here! Once we go in, we’ll easily find a partner for our medicinal herbs even if we close our eyes.”
“Emmanuel, if you don’t want to embarrass yourself, it’s best to leave now. Wasn’t it your son-in-law who tricked you into coming here? Haha… You actually believed him!” Romeo teased.
The other direct members of the Lowe family shook their heads as they watched their eldest brother and his family. Despite feeling a bit guilty, they didn’t dare say anything due to Victoria’s attitude.
However, at that moment, Lachlan pulled out the gold-edged invitation card and handed it over to the security personnel.
“Who told you that we didn’t have an invitation card? Do I need to use the name of the Lowe family just to get in? Your imagination is quite impressive,” he said confidently.
