Chapter 365 Reciprocity in Courtesy
Miranda watched as Lachlan moved two figurines from the office storage room into the car, apuzzled expression on her charming face.
"Lachlan, what are you doing? Weren't these sent by Romeo and Harlow? Why are you puttingthem in the car?"
"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough," Lachlan smirked, a somewhat sinister gleam in his eyes. Hegestured towards the executive sedan and said, "Get in the car and tell me how to get to LoweLight."
Throughout the journey, Miranda had various speculations running through her mind as she guidedLachlan to their destination. Due to Lachlan's speedy driving, they arrived at Lowe LightPharmaceutical with just ten minutes left until the bomb exploded.
"Honey, wait for me here. You're about to receive a surprise soon."
Lachlan parked the car about two hundred meters away from the Lowe Light Pharmaceuticalfactory, holding one of the figurines in his hand as he approached the site.
The factory was not yet in operation, lacking security at the entrance, and nearly deserted inside.Seeing this, Lachlan felt relieved. While seeking revenge on Romeo and Harlow, he didn't want toharm innocent people. It seemed that only Romeo and his daughter would come to check on thefactory regularly.
Carrying the two figurines, Lachlan entered the office building, placed them on the floor, and swiftlyleft.
After Lachlan returned to the car, Miranda looked at him curiously and asked, "Aren't you supposedto reciprocate Romeo's gesture?"
Lachlan nodded, "Yes, it's a matter of reciprocation."
The goddess CEO rolled her eyes, thinking, even if it was reciprocation, what was the point ofreturning the gifts they gave them?
Lachlan smiled, asked for Romeo's number from Miranda, and dialed it directly.
At the same time, in a room on the third floor of the office building, Romeo and Harlow were eagerlyanticipating the results.
"Tonight, we must celebrate properly! Let's go out for a decent meal! My treat! Hahaha..."
Samuel was in high spirits, patting Romeo on the shoulder. His eyes were not behaving, wanderingover to Harlow.
Romeo and Harlow were excited and looking forward to their plans. After the explosion, Lowe'sPharmaceutical would likely face suspension, investigation, and reorganization. They intended todevelop Lowe Light Pharmaceutical, seize the market gap left by Lowe's Pharmaceutical, andpotentially attract the big distributors who were originally collaborating with Lowe's Pharmaceutical.
"It's almost time!" Romeo said with a sinister expression.
Harlow added, "The bomb will explode in three minutes!"
Samuel, wearing a satisfied smile, felt the imminent revenge against Miranda and Lachlan.
"Do you think we'll hear the explosion from here?" he asked.
"Probably. Saber mentioned that the bomb is quite powerful," Harlow replied, smiling.
At that moment, Romeo's phone suddenly rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, he hesitated for amoment before answering, "Who is this?"
"Uncle Romeo, it's me, Lachlan!"
Romeo, surprised, asked, "Lachlan? Why is he calling now?"
Harlow, feeling a sense of unease, asked, "Why would that guy call at this time?"
Romeo hushed her and put the call on speakerphone, pretending to be calm. "Lachlan, what's up?"
Lachlan chuckled and said, "Uncle Romeo, I was quite moved to hear that you and Miranda mightreconcile today. By the way, I heard from Miranda that you've started a company and built a newfactory?"
"Therefore, I was thinking of giving you a little gift to express our sincere desire for reconciliation."
Hearing this, Romeo and the others exchanged surprised glances.
Harlow sneered and whispered, "This idiot really thinks we want to make amends with him?Hilarious!"
Romeo signaled her with a glance and calmly said through the phone, "No need to bother."novelbin
"No trouble at all. I'm just returning the two figurines you sent me! I've placed them in the lobby ofyour office building. That's it! Goodbye, Uncle Romeo!" Lachlan said and hung up the phone.
"What?"
"Damn! What did he just say?"
At this moment, Romeo's tone changed, and he exclaimed in shock. Harlow and Samuel widenedtheir eyes, their faces twitching.
In the next second, Harlow screamed in horror, her face turning pale. "What? That idiot Lachlanactually returned those two figurines?"
"Is it true?" Romeo's whole body shivered, and he quickly approached the computer in the office,playing back the surveillance footage.
In the next moment, he was horrified. "It's... it's true! Run! Run quickly!"
"Lachlan, damn your ancestors! It's going to explode in one minute! Hurry! Run!" Samuel panicked.
"What to do? Ah! What do we do?" Harlow was terrified, her voice trembling with a hint of tears.
"Jump! Jump quickly! We're on the third floor, and we won't die from jumping! Let's go!" Romeoopened the window without hesitation, not caring about anything else. He even cursed silently in hisheart, serving them right!
Saber played with his lover, and the secretary seemed to be welcoming it.
Boom!
Romeo grabbed his daughter, leaped out of the window, and didn't think much about it. Samuelhesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
Yeah! There was less than a minute left, and the bomb was about to explode. Who cared about therest?
Crash!
Romeo and Harlow jumped down in panic. Perhaps due to their age and the improper landingposture, there was a crisp sound as Romeo landed, and his shinbone fractured instantly.
He screamed and fell to the ground, then crawled away from the office building in a patheticmanner.
Harlow and Samuel also felt pain in their legs, but they couldn't care less. They ran for their lives.
Boom!
When the three of them desperately reached the gate of the factory, there was a deafeningexplosion behind them.
Looking back, the entire office building was engulfed in a towering fire, then collapsed with athunderous roar!
