Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 A Desperate Person

As soon as Lachlan spoke, the room erupted in chaos.

"What did you say? You want me to disappear from Ms. Lowe's side?" Rex asked with a scowl.

"Yes," Lachlan nodded.

Miranda looked on with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, opening her mouth to rebuke Lachlan before thinking better of it. She couldn't help but wonder what this man was up to, given his tendency for surprise and even awe-inspiring behavior.

Surely he wasn't just shooting in the dark?

Rex sneered and pointed at Lachlan. "Who do you think you are? Just a puppet son-in-law who thinks you're somebody important?"

"You want me to disappear from Ms. Lowe's side? What, do you have the power to fire me or something?" Rex continued sarcastically. "Or maybe you're trying to play politics in the harem?"

The room erupted into laughter at Rex's words.

"Harem politics? Haha, Rex is quite clever!"

"This guy is like Ms. Lowe's third fiancé - isn't that basically harem politics?"

"I can't believe it..." muttered a few employees under their breath.

"Puppet? You're wrong!" Lachlan snorted coldly, scanning the room before addressing everyone. "Listen up, all of you! I am your CEO Ms. Lowe's legitimate husband."

With that said, he turned to Miranda and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Miranda hesitated for a moment before nodding her head with an "Mm-hmm." She had wanted everyone to believe that Lachlan was really her man and in front of the company's employees, she naturally had to keep up appearances.

Seeing this scene unfold before them, those who had initially shown disdain when they heard Lachlan call himself Ms. Lowe's husband were now surprised by his boldness and intimacy towards their boss. And Rex's face couldn't help but change as he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart for some unknown reason.

The next second, Lachlan smiled at Miranda as he crouched down in front of her and asked playfully, "Wifey, how about lifting your right foot?"

Miranda raised an eyebrow but still lifted her right foot obediently as instructed.

Lachlan went straight for it, grabbing the smooth and beautiful ankle of Miranda and taking off her high heel.

Miranda looked confused, standing on her tiptoes with a look of embarrassment as she stared at Lachlan with questioning eyes.

"Lachlan, what are you doing?"

The others were also taken aback.

Damn! This guy was too bold!

He actually took off Ms. Lowe's shoe in public?

Click!

The next second, faced with Miranda's questioning gaze and a mix of shock, envy, jealousy and hatred from the crowd around them, Lachlan broke off the heel of Miranda's shoe.

Then he dug out a round gadget from inside the heel.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Lachlan handed over this device that had both listening and tracking functions to Miranda.

Miranda blinked her beautiful eyes several times before accepting it with an uncertain expression on her face.

Her delicate face suddenly turned cold!
