Chapter 253 How About These as Gifts?
Quinn heard Lachlan's question and quickly replied, "Even if you gave me a hundred guts, Iwouldn't dare hate you, Mr. Willis! Besides, that little bastard just tried to harm me. Even if you don'tkill him, I'll make sure he gets what he deserves!"
"Good job killing him, Mr. Willis! Thank you for helping me clean up the mess!"
Everyone present sneered and mocked them.
The Hodge family father and son were truly despicable, showing the worst of human nature.
One son pushed all responsibility onto his father in order to save himself.
The father shouted "good job" even though someone had killed his son.
Lachlan sneered at Quinn but suddenly thought of Allison when it was time to act on his murderousintentions.
"I can spare your life but you have to transfer your shares in Hodge's Wine to Allison withoutcompensation. Is that okay?"
"No problem! No problem! Miss Singleton was frightened today so I should compensate her for hermental distress!"
Quinn nodded eagerly without hesitation or regret. Instead, he was excited beyond measurebecause he knew that as long as Lachlan proposed a condition like this, then his life would bespared.
Compared with saving his own life, what did a share in a wine company matter?
Lachlan nodded approvingly, "Handle it as soon as possible."
"Yes! Yes! I'll do it tomorrow!" Quinn said gratefully.
Allison finally snapped out of her shock and heard Lachlan's proposal; she blushed withembarrassment.
"Lachlan... I don't want it."
Lachlan had already risked everything by coming here to save her so Allison felt grateful enoughtowards him already; how could she ask for more shares?
"Why not? It's not like I'm giving them away for free. They're compensation for your losses fromhim," Lachlan asked impatiently.
"Don't take something without reason or cause trouble unnecessarily," Allison replied firmly.
"If you don't want them, then shall we kill him instead? Or maybe send him straight into prison sincehe participated in the kidnapping too?"
Quinn almost wet himself again when hearing this threat from Lachlan and quickly knelt downbefore Allison begging, "Miss Singleton, please help me out here. Please accept these shares."novelbin
"I beg of you. Please accept them!!"
Allison looked at Quinn who was now groveling on the ground before her pleading pitifully, whichmade her feel uncomfortable. So, she finally agreed with an "oh" sound.
Allison wasn't stupid. She could see that Lachlan spared Quinn's life because she still worked atHodge's Wine.
If the boss of the company died, Hodge's Wine would go bankrupt and her job would be in jeopardy!
If she didn't agree, Lachlan might even kill Quinn. Although the Hodge family deserved to die,Allison didn't want Lachlan to kill again.
After a moment...
Alexander had planned on apologizing to Lachlan with a gift tomorrow but since they met tonightand resolved things, he left with his men after everything was settled.
Meanwhile, Lachlan called Mason and asked him to send some cars for transportation while alsoasking him to help send Allison back home.
When Mason arrived, he glanced at Allison beside Lachlan without saying anything before walkingover to a box and opening it up.
"Holy shit!" Mason exclaimed as he looked at all the gold in one of the boxes before checking outwhat was inside other boxes which made his expression even more exciting.
He didn't make any noise though. Instead, he closed the lid on each box before having his mencarry them onto their cars for transport towards Emerald Green Estates.
Jeremy was sent off by himself with instructions from Mason, helped send Allison back home thenMason got onto Lachlan's car himself afterwards.
"Brother-in-law, where did you get all this stuff? Did you rob a bank?" Sitting in shotgun seat next tohim, Mason asked incredulously as there were several million dollars worth of items inside thosefew boxes alone!
"Isa's dad gave me these as an apology," replied Lachlan nonchalantly causing Mason's eyes widenin shock before grinning widely, "Looks like Isa won't be messing around with my sister anymore!"
He looked at his brother-in-law admiringly. Hearing about what happened between Isa and Mirandafrom both Miranda herself and now from Lachlan directly made him feel shocked when seeing thatAustin family actually sent compensation over!
The Austin family... they really bowed down low enough for his brother-in-law?
This... was too awesome!
For the Lowe family who were just small fries compared against the Austin family who were giantswithin their industry - how could they have been taken down so easily by just one person?
At this moment, Lachlan's tone changed and he said with a smile, "I haven't given your sister awedding gift yet! I'm planning to use these things as the gift and give them to my in-laws. What doyou think?"
Upon hearing this, Mason pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "That's more than enough!"
Lachlan smiled and said, "Okay then. I'll send it in a few days! But before that, you have to keep it asecret from everyone. I want to surprise them."
Mason nodded but suddenly looked at Lachlan with sharp eyes.
"Brother-in-law," he asked meaningfully. "Who was that beautiful woman? She seemed close toyou."
Mason rarely showed such seriousness as he continued speaking directly to Lachlan.
"I know I can't beat you up," Mason began sternly. "But if you dare hurt my sister, even if it costs memy life, I will come after you!"
Lachlan rolled his eyes impatiently and gave Mason an annoyed look.
"What are you thinking?" He asked him bluntly. "She's just my classmate! Your sister knows abouther too! It's not what you're thinking!"
Mason relaxed immediately upon hearing this explanation but still couldn't resist teasing him.
"Well fine then," he laughed while covering his forehead with one hand. "I don't care anymore sincenow we're even."
He eagerly asked, "Brother-in-law, can you spare some time for me tomorrow and teach me martialarts privately? I don't want to learn with my sister and Nora. They're too chatty, not suitable for me!"
"By the way, I want to learn that move of yours!"
"The one where you stomp your foot and send people flying into the sky!"
Lachlan replied with a face of speechlessness, "You won't be able to learn that move! Besides, I'mbusy tomorrow. I have to go back to my hometown and clean up the house! It's been so many yearssince I last went back! It's probably all dilapidated..."
As he said this, a touch of nostalgia and sigh appeared in Lachlan's eyes.
There was a time when Lachlan harbored resentment towards his parents, and ever since he wentto college, he never returned to the old house in the countryside.
But at this moment, it felt like his heart was being pulled back there like an arrow!
Perhaps, the scent of his parents still lingered there!!
