Female NovelChapter 457 Exception Occurs
Lachlan looked at the two women who walked out of the restroom and his face was filled with suspicion.
"What were you two doing in there?" he asked.
Miranda and Savannah exchanged a glance and both shook their heads in unison. The next second, Savannah chuckled lightly, gave Lachlan a meaningful look, and walked away.
Lachlan furrowed his brows, looking puzzled as he turned to Miranda. "Honey, what did she say to you?"
Miranda raised her eyebrows with interest. "What do you think she could have said to me? Or rather, what are you afraid she might tell me? Hmm?"
Lachlan coughed twice. "Nothing... I'm not afraid of anything."
Miranda gave him a disdainful look. "Really?"
She stared at Lachlan intently for a moment before asking seriously, "Lachlan, have you ever thought that I'm useless? That I'm just a burden on your shoulders?"
Hearing this question caught Lachlan off guard for a moment before he furrowed his brows again and asked, "Why would I think that way about you?" Without hesitation, he grabbed Miranda's hand tightly while asking, "Why are you asking me this?"
Miranda felt the warmth coming from that large hand. She had intended to pull away, but instead, she felt a strange sense of peace. How were they not from the same world? She could feel the warmth he brought, she could enjoy the security he provided!
At this moment, Lachlan grinned at her and said, "Don't think too much! You are my wife, and even more importantly, you are the only mother Nora recognizes now. Of course, it would be even better if you could fulfill your wifely duties!"
Upon hearing this, Miranda gave Lachlan a disdainful look and replied with a hint of aggression, "Oh? What duties are you talking about? Tell me!"
Lachlan hesitated for a moment, awkwardly shaking his head and saying, "N-nothing, haha..."
"Hmph! All talk and no action!"
The goddess CEO cast a contemptuous glance at Lachlan.
...
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when Lachlan and the others finally left the Graham family.
The Graham family had dispatched several cars to help Lachlan transport a batch of cultivation resources back to Emerald Green Estates. Obtaining thirty percent of the cultivation resources from the Graham family each year was no small amount.
That day, Lachlan divided these cultivation resources into three parts. One part remained at home for himself, Nora, and Miranda to use, another part was taken away by Mason, and the remaining part was sent to the "Lachie Fire" Security Group.
Although Emerson and Makhi had gone out on a mission, there were still several key members responsible for logistics, including "Virus," who remained at the company.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Emmanuel and Cara were quite busy as they had just taken over the Lowe family and had many family and business matters to attend to. Meanwhile, Lachlan noticed that Miranda was acting a bit off.
The former goddess CEO, despite claiming to become a martial artist, had been somewhat lazy. However, these past few days, whenever she returned from the company, she would immediately start meditating and cultivating, often pulling Nora along with her.
The Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra was an excellent cultivation technique. As long as there was sufficient spiritual energy and cultivation resources to support it, there were almost no bottlenecks before the Uppecia stage. Combined with Lachlan's guidance and some medicinal assistance, Miranda's progress had been quite rapid these days, and she had already broken through to the Transmutation Force level. Nora, although a bit slower, had reached the Dark Force level.
Of course, these were merely the levels of their cultivation realms, and their actual combat strength was probably not worth mentioning...
Five days later, in the afternoon, Lachlan received a message from Emerson that they had returned from their mission. When he arrived at the security company's building, he unexpectedly ran into a familiar face in the lobby.
Monty was talking to Emerson, Makhi, and a few other people. He held a silk banner in his hand with the words "Protecting the Employer without Danger, Serving the People with Dedication" written on it, and he handed it to Emerson with a smile.
"Mr. Ramos, Mr. Harvey, let me tell you, if you need anything in the future, just come to this 'Lachie Fire' Security Group!"
"This company is filled with real experts. Thanks to Mr. Hurst and Mr. Davis, I was able to safely transport the batch of raw materials back from Myanland!"
"You guys have no idea. Those private militias in Myanland tried to rob my goods, but they were all scared off by Mr. Hurst and his team! Hahaha..."
Monty said to the several big bosses around him with a serious expression.
Emerson and Makhi were excited when they saw Monty introducing so many "clients" to them.
They didn't expect that Monty would bring his friends along to help promote the "Lachie Fire" Security Group. When Lachlan saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
It seemed that Emerson and Makhi had previously taken a job from the owner of Monty's Jade Wholesale Group.
"Mr. Atkinson, what a coincidence?" Lachlan greeted as he approached.
When Monty saw Lachlan, he paused for a moment and then smiled warmly, "Mr. Willis?"
His tone changed, "Mr. Willis, are you also here to hire people? Let me tell you, this security company is good. I've used it before. If you have anyone to protect or anything to escort, you can entrust it to them." Upon hearing this, Lachlan nodded with a smile, "Alright."
Emerson and Makhi had peculiar expressions, thinking that Monty didn't know that the behind-the-scenes boss of this security company was Lachlan.
At this moment, Monty looked at
Lachlan, his eyes suddenly
brightened, and he showed a slightly embarrassed smile. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Mr. Willis, do you have time? I just received a batch of rough jade stones. Are you
interested in taking a look? You can choose whichever piece you like."
Lachlan raised an eyebrow, considering that he indeed had nothing to do today, so he nodded, "Sure."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Of course, he knew that Monty wanted him to have a look and assess the quality of the jade stones.
"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Willis, haha..."
Monty was excited to see Lachlan agree, his face filled with joy.
After exchanging pleasantries with Emerson and Makhi for a while and delivering the silk banner, Monty took Lachlan to his jade stone warehouse.
Inside a large warehouse that resembled a factory, there were piles of rough jade stones.
"Mr. Willis, it's this batch. Take your time to choose," Monty led Lachlan to one of the piles.
The skin of these jade stones seemed to exude a hint of emerald green, and Lachlan could feel a faint spiritual aura emanating from them, indicating that they were all high-grade stones.
He infused his Dragon Energy into
his eyes and took a look, nodding in approval, "Mr. Atkinson, you did well with this batch of jade stones! Although some may be mediocre, they account for less than one-fifth. Overall, it can be considered an excellent batch of materials. Mr.
Atkinson, you must have made a big
profit this time!"
Monty's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh? Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Willis."
Although Lachlan didn't use a lamp or observe carefully like other experts, he just gave them a quick glance. However, after witnessing Lachlan's abilities, Monty had full confidence in his judgment. "Mr. Willis, feel free to choose whichever piece you like. You can pick several if you want," Monty said generously, in a bid to please Lachlan.
Lachlan smiled. He had originally
intended to refuse as it was just a small matter for him, and he didn't want to take advantage of Monty However, at that moment, he felt a movement from the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant in his mustard seed bag. It seemed... something unusual was happening!
