Chapter 45 The gift from the commander
Lachlan stood there silently, not bothering to engage with them.
Reeva heard Maisie and Claudia’s taunts and couldn’t help but ask, “Lachlan, who are they?”
“Don’t know them, don’t need to bother,” Lachlan replied calmly.
His attitude infuriated Claudia to the point of grinding her teeth. The greatest humiliation in this world was not loud cursing but complete disregard. Lachlan’s complete disregard for her twisted Claudia’s mind.
This poor guy who was supposed to be a fake son-in-law dared to ignore her?
“Haha… Don’t know me? You’re just afraid of admitting it! Afraid I’ll strip away your fig leaf and make you lose face in front of this beautiful lady?” Claudia sneered and pointed at Lachlan’s nose.
Tom also sneered, “Poor bastard. I thought you were really something. Turns out you sold yourself as a dog for the Lowe family missy. Hahaha…”
He looked at Reeva and said, “Beauty, did he bring you here saying he’d buy you a villa? Don’t believe him! He’s just a poor loser! If my wife hadn’t come with me today to buy a villa and we happened upon him trying to scam you…”
Tom emphasized that he came here specifically to buy a villa in front of Reeva. Maybe it would impress the beauty enough for her to like him.
After Claudia went home last night she naturally didn’t tell Tom about hooking up with Lachlan; she only told him that Lachlan became Miranda’s gigolo.
So when Tom saw Lachlan again, he became arrogant once more.
Reeva looked at Lachlan strangely and said, “Him? A poor guy?”
These people were crazy, weren’t they?
How could Lachlan be a poor guy?
As far as she knew, Erik gave Lachlan 2 million last time. No matter what, he couldn’t be considered a poor guy.
“I told you not to pay attention to them!” Lachlan shrugged and wanted to take Reeva away from Claudia and the others.
Out of sight, out of mind!
However, Claudia quickly walked a few steps and stood in front of Lachlan. “Want to run away? After divorcing me, have you learned how to deceive naive girls? Today I will expose your true face!”
“You’re such a loser! Poor is poor; just be honest!” Adam also said disdainfully at this time.
“That’s right. Thanks to our daughter waking up in time and following Tom! Otherwise we would have been deceived by this waste for life! Disgusting!” Maisie spat out.
Lachlan coldly glanced at the two of them and couldn’t help feeling chilled.
What kind of parents taught what kind of daughter?
Claudia was so heartless and ungrateful. Adam and Maisie were not to be underestimated either. When he had some capital and was a small factory owner, they called him good “son-in-law” as if he were their own flesh and blood.
Now they humiliated him like this, the world was really cold!
“Do you know each other?” At this moment, the saleswoman turned her head back and looked at Lachlan with a slanted eye.
“Of course we do! He’s my wife’s ex-husband, a poor loser! Beauty, he won’t tell you he wants to buy a villa too? Don’t let him fool you into wasting your whole afternoon! Don’t be fooled by his Bentley; it’s not even his own car. He works as an escort for others while driving their cars around town cheating on other girls. Hahaha…” Tom laughed.
The saleswoman glanced at Lachlan once more and thought to herself that he was just another scammer?
Looking at Lachlan’s eyes made her feel contemptuous instantly.
Even the security guards outside were pointing fingers at him with disdainful expressions on their faces while talking about Lachlan.
“He didn’t say he wanted to buy one; instead, he said that he already has one of these villas here.” The saleswoman sneered with sarcasm in her tone of voice.
“Haha… I’m dying of laughter! He has one of these villas here? What a liar!” Claudia laughed.
“No wonder you can charm so many beautiful women. You really dare to say anything.” Tom burst out laughing.
Maisie shook her gold bracelet and pointed at Lachlan. “So, which villa is yours?”
“Yeah, take us in and let’s sit down,” Adam sneered, watching Lachlan like he was a joke.
Lachlan replied coldly, “Are you worthy?”
“What did you say? You poor guy! Your fig leaf has been stripped off and yet you still talk big? If you have the guts, tell us which villa is yours!” Claudia cursed.
“Yes sir, which villa is yours? I know all the owners here but I don’t remember seeing you,” the saleswoman teased.
“Lachlan, tell them to shut up!” Reeva believed in Lachlan and was angry when she heard these people mocking him.
Lachlan shrugged. “Okay then! It’s in Block A. Villa 001!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the saleswoman was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
“What did you say? Villa A1 is yours? Sir, this joke is getting out of hand! Do you even know who the owner of that villa is? It belongs to Mr. Harris, the commander-in-chief of Garrison Command. When did it become yours?” The saleswoman looked at Lachlan with a mocking expression.
“Mr. Harris gave it to me,” Lachlan said in a low voice.
“Gave it to you? Is that so?” The saleswoman smirked.
“Lachlan, are you going crazy from being poor? Do you have delusions now? That’s the commander-in-chief we’re talking about. What makes you think he would give a villa to someone like you, a gigolo of the Lowe family? Do you think everyone has to give face to people like you?” Claudia sneered.
“Hahaha… I’m dying!” Tom held his stomach and exaggerated his expression.
Adam and Maisie also laughed so hard they were doubled over as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world. Even nearby security guards couldn’t help but laugh out loud one by one.
“Security! Where’s security?! Get rid of this liar quickly before someone dies laughing and holds us responsible,” Maisie pointed at Lachlan and shouted.
The saleswoman also waved her hand at the security guard with a mocking smile on her face.
Several security guards pulled out rubber batons and walked towards Lachlan with mocking expressions, mixed with a hint of ferocity.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Kid, go somewhere else and sober up. Don’t tarnish the image of the estate here!” The leading guard sneered.
They usually dealt with wealthy and influential people here, which led to a sense of superiority. They would nod and bow to the rich but show their vicious side when facing someone like Lachlan who was “poor”.
Looking down on others was nothing new!
“Stop!”
However, at this moment, a cold-blooded shout rang out.
A dark green military vehicle screeched to a halt beside them.
Click! Click! Click!
“Drop your weapons!”
Several fully armed soldiers jumped off the car and pointed their guns at the guards who were about to attack Lachlan.
“Mr. Willis, I’m sorry we’re late! Are you okay?” The leading officer quickly approached Lachlan with an apologetic tone.
Everyone present was dumbfounded at the sight!!
Even the security guards were trembling in fear, crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands.
What on earth was going on?
How could dealing with a poor guy attract military personnel?
