Chapter 104 Auntie's Family is Here
"Exactly, they can't just be kicked out! They have an invitation, how could they be kicked out?"Emmanuel's face remained calm as he spoke. But then his tone changed and he coldly snorted,"And don't think for a second that Miranda's mother and I approve of you! Hmph!"
Initially, the herbal medicine merchants had cut off supplies to the pharmaceutical company.Emmanuel and Cara had been quite satisfied about it. But upon hearing about tomorrow's businessexchange meeting, they felt uneasy again. Lachlan's boastful words only made them feel even moreuncertain.
The Lowe family had received an invitation but it seemed like they were no longer relevant.
"Hey... Lachlan, why did you say that? If we don't go to this business exchange meeting then so beit. It's not a big deal." Miranda scolded him.
But Lachlan just smiled and said confidently, "Trust me! You'll come with me tomorrow and nobodywill dare kick us out."
Miranda let out a small "oh?" at his words but seeing how confident he was she nodded her head inagreement, "Okay, I trust you!"
Unknowingly she had developed some kind of inexplicable trust in Lachlan.
Lachlan nodded then turned towards Cara with a look on his face like he was trying to please hismother-in-law.
"Oh yeah, take a look at what I brought for you..." He said as he tried to open up the box in hishands to show Cara what was inside.
However before he could finish speaking several people barged into the room once again,
"Sis? Brother-in-law? What are you doing here?" Cara asked surprised by their suddenappearance.
"What else would we be doing here? Today is your birthday so we came to wish you well." It wasMiranda's aunt and uncle who came along with her cousin Ellie Kennedy and her boyfriend.
Cara hadn't invited anyone else yet there were more people coming over again after Romeo'sfamily.
After greeting everyone Miranda pulled Lachlan aside, "This is my auntie and uncle plus my cousinEllie."
Lachlan politely greeted them all saying, "Hello Auntie, Hello Uncle, Hello Cousin Ellie. I'mMiranda's husband, Lachlan."
"Aiyahh.. so this is the husband that Miranda found huh? Is this real or fake?" At this point,Miranda's aunt scrutinized Lanchan while asking with hidden intentions behind her words.
"Is it true that you're a son-in-law who married into the family? Well, being a son-in-law is great. Youdon't have to work hard for yourself! Hehe..." Uncle Cannon Kennedy said with a smile, but hiswords sounded harsh.
As he spoke, he waved at the young man next to Ellie, and said to Emmanuel and Cara, "This isEllie's boyfriend, Daniel Walsh. Come on Daniel, say hello to Mr. And Mrs. Lowe and Miranda."
With these words spoken, the young man put down a large box in his hand and walked over.
"Happy birthday Mrs. Lowe! Hello Mr. Lowe! Miranda, you're so beautiful!"
Finally, Daniel looked at Miranda with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Emmanuel nodded lightly before looking at his wife with an inquisitive expression.
Cara forced a smile as she responded to Daniel's greeting. She too was feeling angry inside.
No one had invited them today yet her elder sister's family had come over anyway. They claimed itwas for her birthday celebration but she couldn't shake off the feeling that their intentions were notpure. Were they just showing off their future son-in-law?
Miranda also frowned slightly as her beautiful face turned cold.
At this moment, Daniel greeted the others and walked up to Lachlan, extending his hand. "You'reLachlan, right? We're going to be in-laws from now on! By the way, where do you work at?"
Lachlan shook hands with him and replied in a subdued tone, "I don't work. I've been busy helpingMiranda set up her factory."
Daniel raised an eyebrow, shaking Lachlan's hand. "Ah, so you're not working anywhere? I've heardfrom Ellie that Miranda found herself an live-in husband, and it seems it's not a baseless rumor! Bro,I envy you. You don't have to struggle. Unlike me, I work as a warehouse manager in a jade andgemstone wholesale company. It's hard work every day! Even though the boss values me and paysme a monthly salary of 5 thousand, it's still not as good as living a carefree life like you. Haha..."
Despite his friendly tone, it was evident that Daniel was subtly mocking Lachlan for being afreeloader. He had been captivated by Miranda's beauty and couldn't understand why someone likeLachlan could marry such a goddess.
Driven by jealousy, he couldn't resist taking a jab at Lachlan.
At that moment, Ellie, Miranda's cousin, lifted her chin and said to Miranda, "Miranda, when lookingfor a man you need someone reliable and ambitious. You don't have to expect him to make a lot ofmoney but at least he should have a steady job."
Miranda's face turned cold as she replied expressionlessly, "Lachlan is very reliable. Actually thefactory I work at now was given to me by him."
Upon hearing this statement, Cara's sister, Celine Lewis, let out a laugh and said sarcastically,"Miranda, don't flatter your man! He's just an in-law who came knocking on your door. How could hegive you a factory? Let Daniel help Lachlan find a job in his company. You can't rely on yourselfforever right? After all things are different now from before when you were backed by the Lowefamily. You can't just sit around doing nothing while supporting this idle gigolo of yours."novelbin
"You're right! Leave it up to me! My boss thinks highly of me so I'll say something and get himassigned some cleaning duties or something like that haha..." Daniel boasted with pride.
"Well cleaning isn't too bad either... it beats staying at home all day," Celine nodded with approval.
"Enough!" Cara scolded them coldly and asked her sister angrily, "What did you guys come here fortoday?"
Emmanuel also showed his anger, "We've been kicked out of our family clan... are you guys herejust to make fun of us?"
As soon as Emmanuel finished speaking, Celine's expression turned sour, "How could you two saysuch things? We came here kindly for Cara's birthday party but why do we get such attitude fromyou guys? Getting Daniel to help Lachlan find work is also an act of kindness."
Although her words sounded noble, there was clearly mockery and satisfaction written all overCannon's face.
For years they had not lived as well off as Miranda's family especially since he himself had nocomparison with Emmanuel whatsoever.
Cara married into the Lowe family, although she didn't really interact much with them, whichinevitably led them feeling inferior compared to her status within the clan.
Among relatives there had always been comparisons made between each other.
Now that Emmanuel's family had been kicked out while Miranda found herself an live-in husband, itfinally gave them an opportunity for revenge.
Especially when compared to their son-in-law, Daniel, and Lachlan, who had married into the family,they felt even more superior.
Today was their chance to show off!
"Come on now, let's not all get angry," Daniel stepped forward to defuse the situation. As he spoke,he opened up the large box that was sitting on the ground.
"Mrs. Lowe, please don't be upset. Ellie and her parents didn't mean anything by it! This is abirthday gift from me to you - just a small token of my appreciation. Hehe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were drawn to a piece of raw emerald in the boxthat shimmered with an ethereal green light.
Lachlan paused for a moment at the sight of this precious gemstone before his eyes flashed withmeaning.
