It was said that one should not bite the hand that feeds them, so Monty was polite and Lachlan chatted with him for a few minutes. After exchanging pleasantries, Monty greeted Miranda and went inside.
At this moment, Miranda looked surprised and asked, "How do you know Monty?"
"You should know him too. Last time I saw that his merchandise was all junk. If he really sold it to Anton, wouldn't Anton hate him? How could they continue to work together? His reputation would be ruined."
"Working with him again? His reputation's gone?"
"So he was very grateful to me."
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and lied without batting an eye.
"Oh, I see," Miranda nodded skeptically but didn't ask any further questions.
When they arrived at the reserved private room they had booked earlier, their faces sank as soon as they saw who was already there - Romeo's family.
Emmanuel and Cara were sitting there with angry expressions on their faces.
"Auntie, this is my birthday gift for you!" Harlow sneered as she took out a music box. When she pressed the switch on it, the song "Be curtains" started playing loudly.
"I personally recorded this song for you! Wishing you many happy returns of your special day! Hahaha..."
Eliza then boasted even more arrogantly, "Oh by the way... I forgot to tell you guys... we made another 50 million three days ago! Romeo now owns 40% of the pharmaceutical company which means our family just made 20 million dollars in one go!"
"But that's nothing compared to what we'll make in future," Eliza turned around and looked at Lachlan and Miranda who had just walked in with an even more smug expression on her face. "Hey look everyone! Our eldest niece and son-in-law are here too! We have to thank both of them or else how could we have earned so much money?"
Seeing how proud Romeo's family looked like made Emmanuel and Cara tremble with anger while Miranda blushed furiously wishing she could scratch her nails into her flesh.
"Romeo... do you really need to stoop so low?" Emmanuel questioned angrily. "We're brothers after all; blood is thicker than water."
"Emmanuel, your sister-in-law, and your niece are here to celebrate Cara's birthday. What's wrong? You guys don't seem happy?" Romeo asked with a fake smile on his face and an innocent look in his eyes.
"You... are you really here to celebrate my birthday? It's obvious that you're just trying to mess with us!" Cara said angrily.
Pointing at the door of the private room, she continued, "Get out of here! We don't welcome you!"
"I mean Cara, do you have the attitude of a sister-in-law? We came here with good intentions to celebrate your birthday. How could you chase us away?" Eliza said sarcastically.
"Mom, it's because our family is doing well now that they're jealous. Understandably so since they were just kicked out of the Lowe family. The new drug they developed is now being sold by us. Some people had worked hard before to unfreeze company accounts but only did it for us." Harlow gloated.
"You must be so angry right now! Hahaha..."
At this point, Lachlan spoke up in a cold tone and extended three fingers towards them, "My mother-in-law told you guys to leave! I'm giving you three seconds!"
This family was acting foolishly and even Lachlan was getting annoyed by their behavior. His eyes showed a hint of fierceness as he exuded an intimidating aura towards Romeo's family.
People who had killed before carried an air about them that can be felt immediately!
In an instant, Romeo's family felt like they were plunged into icy water.
