Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 If you don't teach, I will teach.

The living room door was pushed open and Lachlan walked in with a serious expression. Inside the room, besides Miranda and her hired servant, there were a middle-aged couple and a young woman. All three of them were dressed elegantly with an air of superiority about them.

It was clear that they were used to living a life of luxury. The middle-aged couple turned out to be Miranda's uncle Romeo and his wife Eliza, while the young woman was Miranda's cousin Harlow Lowe.

When they saw Lachlan enter, the family trio looked surprised for a moment before sizing him up with condescension.

"So you're the gigolo my cousin just found?" Harlow raised an eyebrow as she spoke, looking at Lachlan as if he were livestock bought from the market.

Although members of the Lowe family had heard about Miranda's fiancé who seemed to have some skills - taking down Rex and killing seven assassins - it wasn't enough to impress them.

Being good at fighting didn't mean anything in terms of social status; those so-called experts who could take on ten men alone often ended up being hired as bodyguards or lackeys by people with money and power.

"You should probably call me your brother-in-law," Lachlan said coldly, feeling annoyed by Harlow's attitude. "Brother-in-law? Hilarious, you're not even worthy!" Harlow sneered, her face full of disdain.

Romeo and Eliza were so arrogant that they didn't even look at Lachlan in the eye. They just turned to Miranda and said, "Miranda, you've been pretending to be engaged to this kind of man several times. It's ridiculous behavior and a challenge to Mr. Austin and the Austin family! Our family has given you two years to struggle, which is our greatest tolerance for you."

"Today your grandmother sent us here with her message: either kick this man out or apologize personally to Mr. Austin."

"Otherwise, your deadline will change from two years to two months. Within these two months, unless you can increase the company's profits tenfold, you must marry Mr. Austin obediently."

"If you still resist then our family will cut off all ties with you so as not to affect everyone else! Humph!"

Hearing this news made Miranda tremble slightly; her beautiful eyes filled with sadness and despair.

What?

Increase the company's profits tenfold within two months?

How was that possible?

"Is this... grandma's idea?" Miranda gritted her teeth and asked.

"Of course it is! What are always pretending about? It's good fortune that Mr. Austin likes You! Marrying into the Austin family would be good for our family as well but instead of accepting Mr. Austin's proposal like any sane person would do, you keep on provoking him by associating yourself with trash like him."

"Once you completely offend the Austin family because of you, everyone in our family will suffer!" Harlow said in a sarcastic tone, trying to sound righteous. "You can't be so selfish as a person!"

"Why don't you marry?"Miranda asked coldly.

"You..." Harlow was blocked and felt angry inside. She wanted to get married too, but Isa didn't like her.

Although Harlow was also beautiful, there was still some gap between her and Miranda in terms of temperament and aura. Isa didn't lack beautiful women either; he only wanted to conquer strong and cold queens like Miranda, which he had no interest in Harlow.

"Miranda, stop talking nonsense here. If this happened to Harlow, she would definitely be more sensible than you. Even if she doesn't want it herself, she would make sacrifices for the entire family. What about you? The message has been delivered; it's up to you how to handle it."

"Hmph! Now that Mr. Austin is pursuing you normally just because of your affiliation with the Lowe family... What are you if kicked out by us? Our family won't care about you anymore; Mr. Austin has a hundred ways to get what he wants from someone like you then play with your feelings."

"Don't pretend! Hmph!" Eliza saw her daughter looking down and couldn't help but make a cutting remark. She acted as if she was on a moral high ground, silently cursing Miranda for being selfish.

The words were harsh and hurtful.

Miranda's pretty face turned red with anger. Her eyes betrayed her fury, but she wasn't one to argue with others. She trembled with rage instead.

"Aren't you supposed to be an elder? How can you insult someone younger like a shrew? You'll never amount to anything in your life." Lachlan couldn't bear it anymore and stepped in. He felt sorry for Miranda, who was facing this family of three all alone while feeling so humiliated.
