Chapter 64 What, you don't accept it?
Claudia's expression changed as soon as she heard Tiger's words.
"Mr. Webb, what do you mean?" she asked.
"Damn it! Mr. Webb wants you to bring the child you had with Lachlan," Tom cursed and glared atClaudia in front of Tiger.
He was trying to please and fear Tiger, afraid that her behavior would displease Tiger and causetrouble for him.
"Don't curse at her, I'll talk to her slowly," Tiger waved his hand at Tom and then smiled, "As I saidbefore, I love children the most. Mrs. Bennett, why don't you bring your daughter over here so that Ican be her godfather? Isn't that nice?"
Claudia's eyes flickered a few times before she smiled and said, "Okay! It is my daughter's fortuneto have you as her godfather. However, after the divorce, the child is now with his father instead ofme."
Yes, she was heartless but when she heard that Nora was involved in this matter by Tiger's orders,she hesitated.
She could disregard Nora, but deliberately harming a child was a line Claudia couldn't cross.
"So what? Can't you see your child then? Huh?" Tiger's smile disappeared, and his tone turnedthreatening.
Slap!
Tom, seeing the situation, slapped Claudia's face directly. "You bitch, Mr. Webb tried to negotiatewith you, and you don't know how to appreciate it! Offending Mr. Webb, believe me, you and yourdamn parents won't even know how you'll end up. Don't you dare drag me into this!"
Claudia covered her face, her eyes filled with grievance and fear.
Since the incident at Emperor Palace, Tom's attitude towards her had changed. He would lash outat her for the slightest thing.
"I... I'll try my best!" Claudia said, choking back tears.
Tiger's threats and Tom's abuse made her feel like her life was in danger. In this situation, Claudiashowed her selfish side.
"It's not about trying your best, it's a must! I'll be honest with you - I want your daughter to get backat your ex-husband. As long as you bring the child to me obediently, I promise that both you and thechild will be safe. My target is only your ex-husband alone."
"And," Tiger emphasized, "I'll give you 1 million dollars as a reward - for you, not Tom!"
Claudia brightened up immediately upon hearing about the money and nodded quickly, "Okay! Mr.Webb, you can rest assured that I will bring my daughter to you."
The thought of having 1 million dollars all to herself erased any remaining doubts in Claudia's mind.novelbin
Tom had been treating her worse and worse lately; she felt very insecure around him and needed toplan for herself in case things got even worse in the future.
This money was specifically for her benefit - it was perfect!
Besides, Tiger had already said that he wasn't targeting their child; he just wanted revenge onLachlan alone.
Thinking about the humiliation Lachlan had caused her, Claudia wished someone would teach hima lesson.
The next day, after dropping Miranda off at work, Lachlan didn't stick around the beautiful CEO'sside. Instead, he called Erik and invited him, Clifford and Caelan to dinner.
Lachlan still didn't know much about Caelan's background; the old man seemed mysterious. Thatwas why he hadn't asked for his help before. But when Caelan heard about their situation, hequietly offered his assistance.
Thanks to Caelan's connections with some big agents from the capital and Iylonio, Lowe'sPharmaceutical received a huge order worth 130 million dollars yesterday - these three had been agreat help.
Naturally, Lachlan wanted to show his appreciation.
"Hey Mr. Wills!" Erik answered the phone with enthusiasm.
"Thank you so much for your help along with Dr. Bailey and Mr. Bates! I'd like to treat you guys tolunch today as my way of saying thanks - what do you say?" Lachlan expressed his gratitudesincerely.
Caelan had been visiting the Ward family, and Clifford was also invited by them from Iylonio, soLachlan contacted Erik directly.
"You're too polite, Lachlan!" Erik declined meaningfully.
"It's only right," Lachlan said sincerely.
"Okay then, I'll let Caelan and Dr. Bailey know," Erik said without further delay. He wanted to spendmore time with Lachlan anyway.
Then he added, "By the way, Lachlan, it might not be very interesting for you to have dinner with usold guys. So how about I invite some younger folks who are around your age? It'll be more fun thatway. Do you mind?"
Lachlan shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Whatever works for you. You're in charge here."
"Great! Then let me take care of it. We'll book the VIP room on the top floor of the Square Window,"Erik grinned.
"This... I feel like you're doing all the work while I'm just a guest," Lachlan felt a bit embarrassed.
"Haha! It doesn't matter who pays as long as we get together and have fun, right? Besides... youcan always buy me a few extra drinks later!" Erik laughed heartily.
Lachlan didn't want to be dramatic; after all, Erik had said he needed some young people to liven upthe atmosphere and it was most appropriate for him to take care of it. After hanging up the phone,Erik chuckled meaningfully and dialed another number.
"Kiera, I'm introducing you to a young talent at noon today!"
"You have to go! Let me tell you, if you can get along with this person well, our family will not onlyhave no worries for a hundred years but also be able to climb higher!"
"Anyway, you have to come over at noon today and at least make contact! That's settled!"
...
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Lachlan decided there was nothing else going on so he cameearly by himself to the Square Window restaurant. Erik had said someone would pick him up laterbut Lachlan didn't want any trouble. Anyway, the Square Window was owned by the Ward familyand with his black supreme card in hand he could just go up himself.
However, just as Lachlan stepped into the lobby on the first floor of the Square Window he wasviolently pushed aside by someone.
"Get out of my way!"
The person who pushed him clearly wasn't accidental; while pushing Lachlan aside he arrogantlyscolded him.
It seemed like Lachlan had blocked their path or something.
Lachlan frowned and looked back. A young man with an earring in his ear pointed at Lachlan's noseand rudely asked, "What are you looking at? You got a problem?"
As he spoke, he turned to another tall young man and immediately put on a pleasing smile. "Mr.Moore, please come this way!"
Lachlan hadn't planned on paying any attention to the other person, but when he saw the tall youngman and the girl next to him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hmm? It's you!"
The tall young man was also surprised when he saw Lachlan and his voice became hoarse.
Immediately after that, his face darkened and his eyes towards Lachlan were full of hatred.
The girl beside him also glared at Lachlan with an unfriendly expression.
It turned out to be Orion who had been in the hospital before, along with Betty who had anambiguous relationship with him.
