Chapter 63 I Am A Wounded Man

Chapter 63 I am a wounded man

After Romeo and Eliza left the factory, they received a call from Victoria as soon as they got into the car.

"Mom!" Romeo answered in a low voice.

"I heard you took those executives to the factory today. How did it go? Has Miranda given up hope?" Victoria asked.

She knew that her second son had gone there to watch a good show of her granddaughter.

An uncle who couldn't get along with his own niece was actually quite despicable behavior. However, she didn't blame this kind of behavior but instead asked with some anticipation.

In short, now almost everyone in the Lowe family was thinking about making Miranda give up resistance and join the Austin family obediently.

"Give up hope? What are you talking about? You haven't seen how proud she was today!" Romeo said bitterly.

Hearing this, Victoria's heart skipped a beat. "What happened? Did something happen?"

"I don't know why, but many big agents from all over the country came and wanted to represent our new drug..." Romeo said helplessly as he recounted what had happened earlier.

After hearing it all, Victoria almost fainted on the spot. She leaned heavily on her cane for support.

"What's going on? So you're saying that the company's orders have all exceeded 100 million?"

"Yeah, Mom! If we go by the agreement, our family can't force Miranda to marry into the Austin family anymore!" Romeo said unwillingly.

"Damn it! She actually did it! How is this possible?"

"How could so many major agents come and help her represent the new drug?"

"What's going on? Could it be... Lachlan? He's just a gigolo who willingly married into our family and became a puppet for Miranda. It's impossible!" Victoria cursed with an uncertain expression while leaning on her cane.

At this moment, Victoria was angry and humiliated. This was no longer just about whether or not Miranda would marry into the Austin family; it was about her being slapped in the face by younger generations. For Victoria, who always had final say in the Lowe family, this was simply unacceptable. She had carefully planned to use Sonny to make her granddaughter fall from grace but ended up being slapped hard!

Meanwhile...

Miranda returned to company headquarters after finally finishing everything and signing contracts with Flynn, Caden, and other major agents one by one.

"Hoo..."

Finally able to rest for a while now, the beautiful CEO lazily sat down on the sofa and took a deep breath before looking at Lachlan beside her with complex eyes.

"Honey..." she couldn't help but spit out the word.

"Huh?" Lachlan was taken aback, looking at this icy CEO with a strange expression.

Miranda blushed, realizing what she had just said.

Just now, it was really just an unconscious utterance, like a dream-like state.

But she wasn't the kind of affected woman. At this moment, she snorted and looked straight at Lachlan again, revealing that strong and domineering aura.

"What do you mean 'huh'? Aren't you my husband? We have our marriage certificate!"

Lachlan "ummed", "Yes! But... are you going to make it real? Are you really falling in love with me?"

Upon hearing this, Miranda rolled her eyes, "Of course! I feel like I'm really falling in love with you. What should I do?"

Lachlan coughed a few times, "Really? It sounds like a joke."

Miranda's face turned cold for a moment. She deliberately used this joking tone to cover up her inner turmoil. However, Lachlan's reaction made her heart sink.

This idiotic heartless bastard!

"Yeah right! It's just a joke! Who would really fall in love with you? And what about you? Doing so much for me... did you fall in love with me?" Miranda asked teasingly, but there was a hint of uncertainty in her eyes that flashed by.

Deep down, she was hoping for some kind of answer.

"You should know about my experience. I'm a wounded man, and it's not easy for me to fall in love," Lachlan laughed at himself.

He spoke the truth. After being hurt and abandoned by Claudia, he no longer believed in love.

The only soft spot left in his heart was reserved for his daughter Nora.

As for Miranda, he couldn't say that he had no feelings at all towards her. But much of what he did for her was driven by gratitude and repayment.

Lachlan didn't think that he really had strong feelings for Miranda.

After speaking, Miranda chuckled and said "hehe", but she felt a bit uneasy inside without knowing why.

"How coincidental! I've also been hurt before and it's not easy to fall in love. So let's just stick to our deal!" Miranda bit her lip and tried to sound as indifferent as possible.

Just then, she received a phone call from her father Emmanuel. Hearing what her father said on the phone made an expression of surprise flash across Miranda's face.

After hanging up the phone, she turned to Lachlan with a "hey" and said, "My mom is having a birthday next Monday. My dad wants me to bring you along with me. Do you want to go? Continue 'playing' my husband?"

The beautiful CEO deliberately emphasized the word "play".

Lachlan nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am! I'm all yours."

Miranda gritted her teeth and gave him a fierce glare.

This annoying jerk!

...

At Tiger's private estate.

Today, they set up a banquet here. Tiger and his son personally welcomed someone.

This person was tall with broad shoulders and exuded a strong masculine aura just by sitting there.

Especially his hands, which looked very large and even had a metallic golden glow to them.

This person was none other than Tiger's old friend, the Transmutation Force expert known as "Bloody Butcher" in the martial arts world!

"Butcher, I toast to you! I was bullied. Butcher, you must help me get justice!" Josiah raised his glass of liquor respectfully but with grievance towards Bloody Butcher. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Hmm... Tiger and your matter is my concern too. However, are you saying that kid can kill high- level dark force experts in an instant?" Bloody Butcher nodded but still asked cautiously because he understood that there were always people stronger than him.

Although that young man was only in his early twenties and didn't seem too powerful, Bloody Butcher couldn't afford to be careless.

Tiger chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Butcher! I've made a foolproof plan. As long as you're willing to take action, I guarantee we can take down that guy together!"

With that, he clapped his hands.

The next second, several henchmen walked in with a man and a woman.

To his surprise, it was Tom and Claudia!

"Mr. Webb, this is my wife Claudia," Tom said as he came in with an obsequious smile.

He didn't know why Tiger had asked him to bring his wife over here but he dared not disobey Tiger's orders. Besides if he could climb up the ladder of Tiger's connections even if it meant letting Tiger

play with Claudia?

"Hmm!" Tiger nodded then turned to stare at Claudia before asking her directly, "You're Claudia? Lachlan is your ex-husband? You have a daughter named Nora?"

Claudia nodded nervously before Tiger continued speaking coldly, "I love children! Can you bring your daughter over here for me?"
