The next day at noon, Lachlan arrived at the Graham Residence with Miranda, Nora, and Mason. The entire place was decorated festively, giving the impression that it was a celebration. The atmosphere in the entire Graham family seemed to be filled with joy.
Lachlan was quite familiar with this place, and the descendants of the Graham family at the entrance recognized him. He drove his car straight in and parked it in an open space within the estate.
After the three of them and Lachlan got out of the car, Lachlan didn't need anyone to lead him. He directly led Miranda and the others towards the Graham family's reception hall. However, at that moment, a group of people also got out of several luxury cars nearby.
"Lachlan? Miranda?" A surprised voice sounded, followed by a hint of resentment. "Why are you here too?"
As they turned towards the voice, they saw none other than Sarah, Miranda's former best friend. Standing beside her was her father, Mohamed, the head of the Thompson family, and several other key members of the Thompson family.
Sarah looked at Lachlan and Miranda with a resentful expression. Her features seemed a bit unnatural, clearly having undergone cosmetic surgery. Her teeth were now all implants.
When Mohamed saw Lachlan and the others, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly.
"Heh, so it's Miss Thompson and Mr. Thompson, what a coincidence," Lachlan said with a playful smile, seemingly unaffected by Sarah's resentful gaze.
Miranda, on the other hand, had a cold expression and stood silently to the side without saying a word. She no longer held any affection for Sarah, her former best friend.
Upon hearing Lachlan's question, Sarah's face showed a mocking expression. "How did you end up here too?" She seemed to have guessed something and elongated her tone as she coldly sneered, "Oh, I see!"
"Lachlan, have you compromised and become a lackey of the Graham family? How did you become a subordinate of the Graham family?"
Mohamed chuckled and asked with an ambiguous tone, "Lachlan, it seems you're not as proud as you used to be. Back then, you acted so tough in front of Declan and his steward, but in the end, you had to bow down and submit."
Today, the Graham family was celebrating, commemorating their preserved aristocratic status. For this occasion, the Graham family had also invited some "outsiders" who had connections with them, including families like the Thompson family who played the role of subordinates to the Graham family in the secular world.
Therefore, when Sarah and Mohamed saw Lachlan, they assumed he had become affiliated with the Graham family, just like them. They thought he had been invited to attend this celebratory banquet.
This made the two of them secretly pleased, thinking that their past "scheme" had succeeded.
They had previously revealed to Jared, the steward of the Graham family, that the Nourishing Essence Pill should be sold by Emerson, Lachlan's subordinate. They wanted to manipulate the Graham family into dealing with Lachlan.
As far as Mohamed and Sarah knew, the Graham family must have pressured Lachlan to hand over the formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill. As for the subsequent secret reconciliation between the Graham family and Lachlan, and the current state of their relationship, it was naturally not disclosed to the Thompson family.
