Chapter 48 To Go Back on His Word
Miranda's eyes were filled with a hint of fierceness as she stared at Lachlan and asked.
In certain situations, a woman's sense of smell can be as sensitive as a high-precision detectioninstrument.
Reeva sat in the passenger seat and her scent was immediately caught by Miranda.
Lachlan "uh"ed, feeling a bit guilty from her question.
But he still nodded and truthfully said, "I have a friend who has sat on it before."
Miranda snorted coldly, and an inexplicable feeling of resentment and anger surged up in her heart.
However, Lachlan's calmness made her feel unable to express her frustration and anger.
"Why am I getting angry?"
"Could it be that towards this fellow..."
"How could it be? It must be because he let someone else sit in my car without my consent."
"Moreover, we are only married in name. It seems that we do not have the right to inquire abouteach other's private lives," Miranda thought to herself.
Glancing at Nora, Miranda didn't pursue the matter in front of the child.
She just snorted and said, "This is my car. Without my permission, why do you let others sit? Becareful next time!"
Lachlan nodded awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry! But..."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at her flawless profile and asked with a mischievous smile,"Honey, are you jealous?"
Upon hearing this, Miranda's pretty face turned red and she snorted with disdain.
"Don't be so presumptuous! Call me Ms. Lowe. Hmph!"
Lachlan chuckled and stopped teasing her.
He knew that he and Miranda weren't at that level yet. It was okay to joke around a bit, but if hewent too far, it would only bring about her displeasure.
Without further ado, Lachlan handed over several sheets of paper to Miranda. "Ms. Lowe, these arethe recipes for four different types of medicine. Can you make some samples for each one?"
Miranda was stunned for a moment as she took the papers and looked them over with an unusualexpression in her beautiful eyes.
The paper listed the formulas for four different medicines along with their corresponding effects.
Miranda couldn't understand the formulas but she could understand the effects that Lachlan hadnoted down.
"Are you sure these four medicines are as powerful as you say they are?" She couldn't help but ask.
The scar removal products on the market were not very effective; it might take years of use beforeany results could be seen. As for hair growth products... don't even get started on those!
Hair loss and graying had always been ultimate challenges in both medical circles and healthproduct industries. Although various hair growth products boasted about their effectiveness, they
hardly had any effect at all!
If these two types of products were really as powerful as what Lachlan wrote above, then withproper marketing strategies they would definitely become bestsellers!
And the highly effective hemostatic drugs, as well as the drugs for treating leukemia, if their effectswere really as described by Lachlan, they will probably be in high demand.
However, Miranda had doubts about the effectiveness stated by Lachlan and suspected that it mightbe exaggerated.
Nevertheless, Lachlan nodded seriously. "Of course! If you can quickly produce a sample, we canstart clinical trials right away."
"Great!" Miranda looked deeply at Lachlan and nodded heavily.
At this moment, her emotions were stirred up.
From Lachlan's performance, she could see his absolute confidence and assurance.
If it was really like this, Lowe's Pharmaceutical was truly going to take off!
The bet that she couldn't see any hope in before now seemed to have a ray of light piercing throughthe dark clouds and shining in.
"Oh yeah. I have one condition! That is for the drug used to treat leukemia. I hope it can be sold atcost or even zero profit. The main profits will come from two products: scar removal beauty productsand hair growth blackening products," said Lachlan with a serious expression on his face.
Miranda's eyes flickered a few times before she immediately understood what was on Lachlan'smind - Nora was a leukemia patient, so he must feel the same way.!
"Okay. I promise you," said Miranda with a smile looking at Lachlan; her beauty indescribable at thismoment.
Lachlan couldn't help but stare, looking like a stunned pig. "Hey, have you seen enough? If youhave, start driving," Miranda said, feeling a bit embarrassed by his gaze and giving him a glare.
"Giggle giggle... Auntie is so pretty! Daddy is Pigsy, Pigsy... giggle giggle..." Little Nora sat in theback seat clapping her hands and laughing.
Lachlan snapped out of it and was immediately annoyed. "What's with this Pigsy nonsense? Whotaught you that?" he asked.
"Chloe! She said Daddy is Pigsy," the little girl replied while shaking her head.
Lachlan leaned back with a sigh and remembered Erik's great-granddaughter Chloe who was justas mischievous as Nora. The two troublemakers went to the same kindergarten together and shehad already corrupted his daughter!
...
In just a few days' time had passed since then. During these few days, Lachlan had already movedinto Emerald Green Estates with Nora and hired a nanny for when he wasn't around on weekends.With the little one having time off from school during those times, someone needed to take care ofher.
During this period of time, Miranda had already gotten the production department at thepharmaceutical company to make samples of four different drugs.
During this period, the beautiful CEO personally supervised the quality and confidentiality of thesamples. After the samples were produced, the company invested in clinical trials while Lachlan
gave some to Erik, Clifford and others to try out with their own contacts. Lachlan was confident inthe effectiveness of these drugs.
Lachlan also contacted Zak about it, but Zak's attitude was somewhat perfunctory and he only saidhe would get back to him in a few days. Lachlan thought to himself that after receiving this villa fromZak, there probably wouldn't be any more favors coming his way.
One afternoon, Miranda asked Lachlan to accompany her to meet a client. It turned out that it wasAlbie, Kreanford's largest wholesale supplier of raw materials!
In a VIP room at a tea house, Albie greeted Miranda and Lachlan warmly, "Ms. Lowe is here? AndMr. Willis too! Haha..."
Albie then looked at Lachlan with gratitude, "Mr. Willis, thanks again for last time saving my son'slife! I can't thank you enough so please accept this small token of appreciation!"
With that said, Albie pulled out a check worth 1 million dollar from his briefcase.
Lachlan waved his hand, "Mr. Elliott, please, you don't need to be so polite; as a father myself Icouldn't just stand by when I saw your son poisoned."
"Besides," he added with a smile, "you promised my wife that you would sign on for cooperation;that is already the best thank-you gift!"
Miranda chimed in, "Don't be too modest now, Mr. Elliott!"
However as soon as they finished speaking, they noticed an unnatural expression on Albie's face...
"This... the collaboration, there's been a problem! Ms. Lowe, I'm sorry," said Albie.
"What do you mean, Mr. Elliott? We agreed on everything during our last phone call. If you're notsatisfied with the price, we can negotiate again," said Miranda with changing face at the news.
Albie shook his head and blushed as he spoke up, "It's not about the price."novelbin
"Then what is it? Mr. Elliott, Lachlan saved your son and you promised to work with our company,"Miranda pressed on impatiently.
Lachlan furrowed his brows and a hint of anger flashed across his face.
What was Albie playing at?
"Hehehe... Ms. Lowe, don't waste your breath! I offered him a more attractive deal that made himreject your offer!" came a voice from outside the door as it opened to reveal a middle-aged manwearing gold-rimmed glasses walking in nonchalantly.
Upon seeing this man, Miranda's face immediately darkened and her teeth ground together audiblyin anger.
Her eyes were filled with thick resentment and fury as she recognized him - he was Isa's personallawyer!
One of his lackeys!
It was Isa again!
