"I have money, but can't my own wife buy me some clothes?" Lachlan asked impatiently.
Harlow sneered, "You have money? The money you have is from my cousin. Lachlan, you are shameless to eat a free meal and still act like it's your right! How can there be such a big difference between men?"
She then turned to Miranda and bragged, "Cousin, you probably don't know yet. I'm also engaged now! Kacper proposed to me. Oh, in case you forgot, he's the heir of Monty's Jade Wholesale Group. My father-in-law is Kreanford's biggest jade wholesaler with assets worth billions. Even if your pharmaceutical company becomes popular again, how many years will it take for you to catch up with the Atkinson family?"
Miranda frowned coldly when she heard this and said firmly, "Even if it takes us years to catch up financially, it will be our own hard work that gets us there. You don't even have any claim on your boyfriend's family wealth. What do you have to show off about?"
Harlow laughed arrogantly, "Haha, are you just sour grapes? You can't find a wealthy boyfriend like mine! Always acting so righteous, but if you marry Mr. Austin, wouldn't it be more glamorous than following this freeloader? You say I can't find a husband, but with my father as the head of the Lowe family, there will be plenty of men lining up for me, no matter how bad my temper is."
Miranda had called Harlow out on her cruel words earlier, but Harlow was too proud and continued boasting about her engagement with Kacper. This made Miranda feel as though she had been slapped across the face.
"Oh really? You're getting engaged with Kacper?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow at Harlow.
"Yes, and what about it? Don't forget to come attend our engagement ceremony, you freeloader. Then maybe you'll realize how much better my fiancé is compared to you." Harlow lifted her chin smugly.
"I don't know if he's better or not, but what I do know is that he'll break up with you soon. Do you believe me or not?" Lachlan retorted.
"Break up with me?! Are you crazy?! You're just envious because my man is better than you. Are these feelings jealousy or envy?" Harlow scoffed disdainfully.
Just then, Kacper walked out from the restroom quickly towards them. "Harlow, did we pick out our formal wear yet?"
Because Miranda and Lachlan had their backs turned to him, Kacper didn't recognize the two of them.
"I haven't decided yet! I ran into some idiot who said we were going to break up. Can you believe it?" Harlow rolled her eyes.
Hearing this, Kacper exclaimed, "Who said that? How could I ever break up with you? Damn it, I'll kill him!"
"It was him! That guy my cousin is keeping," Harlow sneered as she pointed at Lachlan.
Kacper was stunned for a moment before turning his head towards Lachlan and Miranda. He shuddered all over.
Lachlan smiled at Kacper and said, "You guys are going to break up. I told you so."
"Mr. Willis...?"
Kacper's eyelids twitched a few times as he stuttered out his words.
The next second he forced out a bitter laugh and asked Lachalan why he would say such things, "Harlow is family with your wife. How could we possibly split apart like that?"
"What family? Our families have nothing to do with each other!"
"Kacper, what are you talking about? What Mr. Willis? Are you crazy or something?" Harlow asked anxiously when she heard this news.
She had been waiting for Kacper to come over so they could humiliate Miranda and Lachlan together while showing off how amazing her future husband was going to be - but now he was being polite towards them instead of standing by her side!
When Harlow heard Kacper say that he considered himself part of the same family as Miranda, she thought it was just because he didn't want any bad blood between relatives in front of her face - so she quickly distanced herself from Miranda and Lachlan by saying they were not on the same side as her own family.
