Chapter 15 Thrown Out
After leaving the Gold Coast Club, Miranda continued to cling onto Lachlan’s arm, looking like a woman deeply in love.
At this point, Mason no longer believed that Lachlan was just a tool for his sister. Instead, he worried that his older sister had been deceived.
Even someone as strong and arrogant as his sister might have their intelligence drop below zero when they fall in love.
Lachlan’s behavior today made him feel like this person was dangerous!
“Find out everything about him! Dig up every last detail!” Mason ordered.
“Yes, boss!”
Meanwhile, after getting into the Ferrari, Miranda’s charming smile disappeared instantly and her face turned icy cold.
“Lachlan, you better behave yourself from now on. If you ever lay your hands on me again, without Isa, I’ll make sure you disappear before he even notices.”
The haughty and aloof Miranda was clearly extremely angry at being pulled onto his lap by this bastard. In her eyes, Lachlan was still just a tool to be manipulated at will.
However, now she had the feeling that Lachlan was slipping out of her control.
“Oh? Ms. Lowe, you should also behave yourself and not lay hands on me so easily?” asked Lachlan nonchalantly.
“What do you mean?” snapped back an irritated Miranda.
“We’re doing business here. I can be your puppet if needed; I can let people order me around. I can’t stop you from looking down on me internally but please don’t attack my body so casually. Even if we’re acting together, there is no need to slap my face, right?” Lachlan’s face was cold.
“You…”
Upon hearing his words, Miranda’s tone faltered for a moment as she stared at him with wide eyes. Her gaze flickered a few times, revealing an imperceptible hint of grievance from the depths of her eyes.
Was it all an act when she had stormed over and slapped Lachlan in a fit of anger? It must have been, right? There was no way she could be genuinely worried about this guy!
Taking a deep breath, Miranda composed herself and once again made herself look emotionless.
“Although you helped my brother today, Mason seems to be suspicious of you. I’ll talk to him about protecting you later. Let’s go get our marriage license.”
“It doesn’t matter if he protects me or not. Are you sure about getting married?” Lachlan asked.
“Don’t waste my time! Give me back my money!” Miranda replied coldly.
“Well then let’s just get married since I don’t have any money now,” shrugged Lachlan.
On their way to the civil affairs bureau, Lachlan hesitated for half a moment before tentatively asking, “Ms. Lowe, how do you plan on thanking me for helping your brother today?”
Miranda smirked, “What? You’re not trying to ask me for money, are you?”
“No, no! I just want to take a few days off with you. Once my daughter’s situation stabilizes, I’ll officially take the position. Just a few days!” Lachlan pleaded.
Miranda hesitated for a moment, surprised that this was all Lachlan wanted. Compared to him helping his brother win back 30 million dollars, this request seemed insignificant.
“Okay! But you better hurry up or someone might miss you,” Miranda said with a coy smile.
“Uh, Ms. Lowe… it’s just us here now. You don’t have to put on an act,” Lachlan sweat profusely.
Miranda snorted and glared at him fiercely. “Get lost! Who do you think I am?” This guy was such a bore! He couldn’t even please people or crack jokes; he only thought about his daughter?
In a luxurious villa in the capital city…
“Miranda, you bitch!” A young man’s expression turned ferocious after answering a phone call.
“Do you like to look for men?”
“You find one, I’ll kill one!”
As he spoke, he smashed almost everything that could be smashed in the room into pieces.
This young man was Isa, the eldest son of the Austin family.
He swore to get Miranda!
In reality, even if he obtained her, Isa wouldn’t be able to do much, as he had a physical defect.
It had been there since he was young!
But precisely because of this, it had created his twisted personality and perverted possessiveness!!
…
Two days later, Lachlan took a taxi and arrived at an old bungalow area. This was where he rented a place.
In order to treat Nora’s illness, he sold all his original houses and could only rent a house to live in.
At this moment, Lachlan had an unconscious smile on his face!
Nora’s condition had completely stabilized and she can be discharged from the hospital and go home.
He came back early today to tidy up and give the little girl a warm home.
Lachlan, who had initially mastered the Dragon Emperor’s Canon, had absolute confidence in maintaining his daughter’s condition from deteriorating further. Moreover, the prescription he personally prepared was much more effective than those imported medicines.
Most importantly, there were no side effects. Lachlan even had confidence that he could cure Nora if he could find a precious medicine called “Dragon Marrow Herb.”
However, he had already searched all the major pharmacies in Edoland these past few days and still couldn’t find this herb. It seemed like they would have to rely on luck!
As Lachlan walked up to his rental house, his face showed anger as he saw his belongings scattered all over the ground outside the door. Someone had thrown them out!Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just then, their landlady came out with a package and threw it outside as well. The package fell to the ground and opened up to reveal Nora’s teddy bear and some of her old clothes.
“What kind of junk is this? It’s so annoying!” Their overweight middle-aged landlady muttered under her breath as she threw things around.
Lachlan carefully picked up Nora’s doll and clothes before walking over with an angry expression on his face.
“Mrs. Morgan, what do you mean?”
The landlady smirked at Lachlan and said sarcastically, “Oh, you’re back? I thought you ran away!”
“Why did you throw my stuff out? I paid my rent this month, didn’t I?” Lachlan asked angrily.
“Why did I throw your stuff out? You’re a poor bastard who owes a ton of money for your dead kid’s medical bills. Your lease was up and you had no money to renew it. Should I have waited for someone else to come along while my property sits empty? Yesterday someone came to look at the place so I cleaned up early. If anything, consider yourself lucky that I’m refunding the remaining days’ rent! Now get lost!” The landlady’s fat jiggled as she spoke in an unpleasant tone.
She then pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket and threw it directly into Lachlan’s face.
Lachlan turned red with anger and asked through gritted teeth, “So you just threw all of my things outside?”
“What’s wrong with throwing them outside? Let me tell you, if you hadn’t come back yet, they would’ve ended up in the trash bin soon enough! It was just some crappy junk anyway that dirtied up my doorstep.” The landlady sneered arrogantly as she pointed at the pile of items on the ground, “Hurry up and pick this garbage up before leaving since I already gave you your money back!”
“What if I don’t leave?”
Lachlan gritted his teeth and asked, glaring at the landlady’s face. He wanted nothing more than to punch her in the mouth!
