Lachlan left the cafeteria hall and entered the office building in the factory area. The gifts he received today were temporarily stored in a utility room on the first floor of the office building.
"Mr. Willis!" A young man guarding the door greeted Lachlan as he approached.
"That's enough, you can go eat now. I'll take a look inside," Lachlan waved his hand dismissively.
The young man hesitated for a moment but eventually left as instructed. In seconds, Lachlan walked into the utility room and saw all of his gifts piled up inside.
His eyes settled on a pair of golden ornaments made of copper with a layer of gold plating on top, hollowed out inside and about the size of an adult cat. With his dragon energy infused vision, he could see that one contained a timed bomb that had not yet been activated.
After all, Romeo and Harlow were still here eating; they couldn't just blow themselves up along with them! Their supposed desire to reconcile was nothing but ill intentions! To think they wanted to create an explosion together? He couldn't imagine what serious consequences would have occurred if they hadn't been discovered today!
This father-daughter duo was truly malicious!
Just then, Lachlan sensed someone approaching him and quickly shifted his gaze away from those ornaments to feign greediness over all these gifts instead.
"Lachlan?" Harlow walked into the utility room with her sultry voice trailing behind her while shutting door behind her without thinking twice about it.
Her eyes flickered for a moment before settling onto Lachlan as she asked sweetly, "Lachlan, why did you come here instead of eating?"
At this moment, Harlow spoke to Lachlan in a sweet and charming manner, making people feel a bit uncomfortable, like being scratched by cat claws. However, Lachlan seemed impervious to her charm, coughed expressionlessly, and said, "Nothing much, come and take a look at these gifts. Do you have something on your mind?"
Harlow scrutinized Lachlan for a few moments and discerned a hint of embarrassment and greed on his face. She secretly sneered in her heart: This guy is, in the end, just an ordinary guy from a common family, fundamentally an incompetent loser. Look at this inexperienced appearance, he even came specially to inspect these gifts? Looking at these gifts, acting as if he couldn't take his eyes off them, tsk tsk...
"Oh! Brother-in-law, are you satisfied with the gift my dad and I gave you today?"
"Take a good look at this. It's a treasure that brings wealth and prosperity. You and my cousin must display it in the office."
Harlow rolled her eyes a few times, deliberately pointing at the gift as she spoke.
She thought the more she made Lachlan carefully examine this decoration, the less likely he would be suspicious of the item.
Hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Lachlan's starry eyes, but he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What's there to see? It's just a gilded trinket, not worth much money."
Saying that, he shifted his gaze to the side, showing a somewhat disinterested demeanor.
Harlow, seeing this, secretly chuckled in her heart.
