Chapter 348 He Is Not An Idle Person
Lachlan received the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus from Raphael's hands, which was kept in anincredibly luxurious jade box.
The box looked like a rare treasure, crystal clear and able to seal the spiritual energy of the snowlotus to prevent it from leaking out. In addition, there was a piece of thousand-year-old ice inside thejade box to ensure the freshness of the snow lotus.
Satisfied with his acquisition, Lachlan exchanged contact information with Raphael before drivingback to Edoland in the Porsche 918 gifted by another wealthy heir.
Meanwhile, in an Audi Q7 on another side:
Harlow's face remained red and filled with resentment and anger towards Lachlan. Romeo didn'tlook too pleased either as he quickly drove away from Wintervale Manor as if running away.
"That damn Lachlan! How dare he play me like that!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
"Lachlan, I will make you regret this sooner or later! I will get my revenge for this humiliation!"
Harlow sat in silence at the back seat of the car but suddenly burst into hysterical screamsexpressing her frustration and embarrassment over being played by Lachlan like a fool today.
She couldn't bring herself to hate Raphael but harbored deep hatred towards Lachlan for what hedid today.
She never expected that she would be made a fool by him at today's conference where she hadeven managed to hook up with some young talents who left their contacts behind before leaving.
But after what happened earlier, Harlow realized all those contacts were gone; those rich heirs hadblocked her one after another...
Meanwhile, inside one of Wintervale Manor's rooms:
Altha glared at his granddaughter Penelope with eyes full of disappointment and anger over whathappened earlier today.
"Penelope... what you did today..." Altha paused as he struggled between wanting to scold hisgranddaughter while also not wanting to hurt her feelings too much since she had already sufferedenough humiliation.
His precious granddaughter had been through such heavy emotional trauma due to what happenedearlier that day!
Penelope was now crying uncontrollably while feeling ashamed and angry about being humiliatedso badly by Lachlan.
"Grandpa... I hate this guy so much! You must make him pay!"
"This scumbag... he made me lose face..."
"I can never show my face again!"
"Wahhh...."
Altha snorted coldly while his expression changed rapidly between anger and sadness upon seeinghow badly Penelope had been humiliated emotionally; how could he not feel angry when someone
dared treat his beloved granddaughter so poorly?
Originally, he had thought of apologizing to Lachlan, but now, he had completely lost the inclination.Not only that, se had developed resentment towards Lachlan!
"Penelope, I will find a way to get back at him for you! Don't worry!"
"Lachlan is too much!!" Altha said coldly.
"Mhmm, Grandpa..." Penelope cried like she had been wronged.
...
That afternoon, Lachlan returned to Edoland and went straight to Lowe's Pharmaceutical.
As he made his way up to the top floor of the company building, he saw several men in suitsheading towards the CEO's office.
The leader had a slicked-back hairstyle and leered at female employees as they passed by, notexactly someone of good character.
Just then Shelly walked up.
"Mr. Willis, you're here?" The beautiful secretary greeted him politely.
Lachlan usually met Miranda outside of the company building and didn't come into the office often.But even when he wasn't there, his legend still lingered...
From exposing Rex as an undercover agent next to Miranda to developing new drugs that becamepopular on the market; from helping Miranda oust Romeo and take full control of the company... anyone of these things would be enough for employees at the company to gossip about endlessly.
Shelly was previously kicked out by Romeo but now that Miranda was fully in charge as Chairmanof the Board, this beautiful secretary was naturally rehired too.
All thanks went back Lachlan!
Now this beautiful secretary both respected and appreciated Lachlan greatly.
"Hmm! Who are these people?" Lachlan nodded then asked Shelly.
"They're representatives from Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta!" Shelly replied.
"Medical Business Alliance of Corlinet Delta?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! It's a commercial alliance formed by Jueham State, Sluford State, and Slocmore incollaboration with other pharmaceutical companies in Corlinet River Delta region." Shelly explained.
"What do they want with Miranda?"
"Well," Shelly began explaining "Lowe's Pharmaceutical has been trying repeatedly under Remeo'sleadership before joining Medical Business Alliance Of Corlinet Delta but their applications havealways been rejected."novelbin
Shelly looked at Lachlan with admiration and said, "But this time, the Medical Business Allianceseems to want to invite our company to join! Thanks to Ms. Lowe and you!"
"It can be said that companies in the pharmaceutical industry in the Corlinet River Delta area areproud to be able to join the Medical Business Alliance, which is a symbol of their strength!"
"Oh... I see."
Lachlan nodded noncommittally.
At this moment, a group of people approached and overheard their conversation.
The leader glanced at Lachlan and Shelly arrogantly.
Lachlan looked at them calmly but felt annoyed by their arrogance as if they were superior.
Shelly greeted them before leading them into Miranda's office. Lachlan hesitated for a momentbefore following them inside.
"Ms. Lowe, Mr. Lloyd is here," Shelly reported to Miranda upon entering her office.
Samuel Lloyd was the deputy director of the audit department of Medical Business Alliance ofCorlinet Delta. He saw Miranda and his eyes lit up as he extended his hand for a handshake whilecomplimenting her appearance excessively, "Ms. Lowe, hello! Haha... I didn't expect you would beso beautiful; it's amazing!"
Miranda's expression flickered when she noticed Samuel looking at her that way; she feltuncomfortable about it. At that moment, someone stepped forward between Samuel and Miranda; itwas Lachlan who shook Samuel's hand instead, "Mr. Lloyd, please have a seat."
Samuel was taken aback by this sudden interruption from Lachlan as he coldly snorted then shookoff his hand before turning towards Miranda asking, "Ms. Lowe what does this mean? Do you notwant your company joining Medical Business Alliance?"
This guy couldn't grab hold on Miranda's hands so he immediately became unhappy beforequestioning repeatedly while threateningly speaking!
Miranda frowned slightly then explained with an awkward smile, "Mr. Lloyd, this isn't just anyrandom person. This is my husband, Lachlan, and also one who makes decisions for our company!"
