Chapter 69 Such Dignity
At this moment, Kiera, Betty, and Orion all wanted to go over and give Paul a good slap. EvenLachlan wasn't planning on getting into it with them anymore, but Paul had to come over and maketrouble for himself!
What the hell... was he stupid?
Before he started yelling, can he please take a look at the situation in front of him?
Didn't he see Lachlan sitting here peacefully?
"Henry, you..." Paul stumbled back after being hit and covered his face in confusion.
"Open your damn eyes wide and take a good look. Mr. Willis is the honored guest my grandfatherinvited today! So it turns out that just now, you completely offended him?" Henry grabbed Paul'scollar fiercely as he spoke with an icy tone.
From how Paul exaggeratedly described the "troublemaker" earlier, Henry could imagine what kindof attitude he showed towards Lachlan.
"Hmph!" Erik snorted coldly while scanning his granddaughter Kiera and Betty with his gaze.
As an old fox who had been around for many years, he actually sensed that something hadhappened between Lachlan and these second-generation kids before.
But since Lachlan didn't want to bring up the past or explain anything further at that time, Erik didn'tpursue it either.
However, this time when Paul came over yelling loudly again, making threats even, and cursing atLachlan, Erik finally understood what was going on.
"Lachlan, how do you want to deal with him? Just say the word and we'll throw him off the rooftoday!" Erik said seriously.
The old patriarch of the Ward family saw that Caelan, Clifford, and Vincent's faces had all becomesomewhat gloomy.
Today, Paul had offended someone he shouldn't have - even if this old man shouted at him a fewtimes, it wouldn't matter. But unfortunately for Paul, he had offended Lachlan - the one person hereally shouldn't have messed with.
Caelan felt like he had been reborn because of Lachlan. He saw Lachlan as his benefactor andlifelong friend.
Clifford admired Lachlan's medical skills and learned a lot from him. He even considered Lachlan tobe like his own mentor.
Vincent also owed a great debt to Lachlan and came all the way from the capital just to see him.
In front of these people, one of Erik's family members actually caused such a scene. It was easy toimagine how angry Erik must be feeling right now. So he needed to take action!
As soon as Erik finished speaking, Paul was completely dumbfounded and begged for mercy fromErik in tears, "Erik! Please don't do this! I... I know I was wrong! I didn't know that Mr. Willis is animportant guest! It was my mistake! Please spare me this time!"
Erik snorted, "Spare you? Everyone will think that my family members are all as arrogant anddomineering as you!"
However, Lachlan waved his hand, "It's not necessary. Just let him go."
After inheriting the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant legacy, Lachlan's mindset had changed significantly.
For someone like Paul, he couldn't be bothered to care. The same went for Betty and the others -they were just a few words and Lachlan would let it slide with a smile.
He didn't feel the need to prove anything to these people, nor did he want to lower himself to theirlevel.
Besides, they were brought here by Erik, so Lachlan had previously kept his cool in order not toembarrass anyone.
"No! Lachlan, you're being generous but I can't let this go!" Erik's expression became stern as herevealed his iron-blooded side.
The next second, he waved at Henry and said, "Didn't he want to break his legs? Then do the samething back - break his legs and throw him out! From now on, banished from our family!"
Henry nodded, "Yes!"
With that said, this young master gestured with his hand and several of his men stepped forward.
"No! Please don't..."
"I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong... I won't dare again..."
"Erik! Mr. Willis, spare me once!"
With a series of cries and screams, Paul, who now had two broken legs, was dragged out bysomeone.
"All right, everyone, please have a seat! We've had enough of this spectacle," Erik chuckledsheepishly and gestured for everyone to take a seat.
Next second, he turned to Lachlan and said," Lachlan, you're still protecting these little brats.Really..."
At this moment, he admired Lachlan even more in his heart.
Not only was he skilled in medicine, but his character and demeanor were also not somethingordinary young people could compare with.
"Yeah! Only someone like Dr. Willis who has such a broad mind and temperament can create 'LoveLight' medicine that benefits millions of leukemia patients! Dr. Willis, I toast to you!" Vincentsincerely praised.
Caelan and Clifford looked at Lachlan with the same admiration and respect in their eyes.
"It's not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be." Lachlan felt a bit embarrassed but raisedhis glass to drink with everyone else.
Next, everyone officially took their seats. Erik arranged for Kiera to sit on Lachlan's left side whileReeva sat on his right side.
Both women were stunning in their own way, causing Lachlan's heart to flutter as he sat betweenthem. He tried not to look too much but the fragrant scent kept wafting into his nose.
Damn!
It was getting hard for him!

Eastview Kindergarten!
"Nora! Nora! Mommy is here."
A stylish and charming woman stood outside the gate, shouting. Who else could it be but Lachlan'sex-wife, Claudia?
A group of children had just finished their morning activities and were now running in groupstowards the cafeteria under the guidance of their teacher. When they heard Claudia's voice, a littlefigure stopped suddenly. The next second, bright eyes lit up with joy and she ran over excitedly."Mommy! Mommy, you came to see me?" Little Nora stood by the gate with a happy face looking upat her mother.
"Excuse me ma'am, who are you?" The teacher walked over and asked Claudia.
"Hello, I am Nora's mom! I want to take my daughter out for lunch, is that okay?" Claudia said with asmile.
"Miss, open the door quickly. This is my mom," Nora bounced and urged.
The child wouldn't mistake someone for their mother, so the teacher didn't doubt her and had thesecurity guard open the door. Nora ran straight to Claudia and held her hand.
"Mommy, why did you come to see me? Are you going to make up with Daddy?" Although she knewClaudia didn't want her or Daddy anymore, Nora was still genuinely happy that her mother came tosee her.
How could a child hold a grudge against their own mother? Deep down inside, Nora's biggest wishwas for Mom and Dad to make up so they could have a complete and warm family. So she looked
up at Claudia with hope in her eyes and asked,
"Yes, Nora. Your Dad asked me to pick you up so we can all go out for dinner together. Is thatokay?" As soon as she finished speaking, Nora jumped up happily clapping her hands saying, "Yes!Yes! Mommy and Daddy are taking me out for delicious food!" Looking at her innocent daughter,Claudia's heart softened momentarily.
However, immediately after that, she thought about the 1 million dollar and the consequences ofoffending Tiger, so she suppressed that softness.
Her worthless father was about to be killed by someone!
She would be truly foolish to reconcile with him!
