After recognizing Lachlan, Charlotte opened the door and said, "Well, well, if it isn't Lachlan. What brings you here?" She looked him up and down with a sarcastic tone.
Her male companion stared at Lachlan with arrogance and asked, "What are you doing here looking for my girlfriend so late?"
"Do you know where Claudia is?" Lachlan ignored the purple-haired man's question and went straight to Charlotte.
Charlotte sneered at his request. "What's wrong with you, Lachlan? Still not over Claudia dumping your broke ass? You're licking your wounds while trying to find out where she is? Let me tell you something: give up already."
Charlotte had no idea about the changes in Lachlan's life or how he had been hurt by Claudia. No one would share their embarrassing moments even with their best friend.
Lachlan found her contemptuous expression amusing. Some people lived poorly themselves but still managed to look down on others without any shame.
"Enough talk," said Lachlan firmly. "Can you contact Claudia or not? I won't forget your help."
Hearing this made Charlotte burst into exaggerated laughter as she looked at him disdainfully. "You won't forget my help? That's hilarious! What can you do for me in return - give me money?"
"I can," replied Lachlan without hesitation.
"C'mon! Charlotte, didn't you say he was a broke-ass just now?" The purple-haired guy cursed under his breath as he mocked him sarcastically.
Following that, he cursed and muttered, "Look at you, coming to find my girlfriend late at night and talking about giving money to Charlotte? I fucking know you have ill intentions, don't I?"
As he spoke, he even reached out his hand to slap Lachlan in the face.
Lachlan's eyes flickered, and in the instant the man reached out his hand, his right hand transformed into a blurry shadow and swiftly slapped back.
Crack!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the person with purple hair flew out, spinning in the air and landed squarely on the sofa inside the house with a thud.
A palm print was clearly visible on half of his face, and his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
"Ah!"
"You... you..."
Charlotte turned her head to glance at the young man with purple hair, and suddenly shivered with fear, looking at Lachlan in shock.
She hadn't expected Lachlan to be so powerful. One slap sent the person flying!
Although the young man with purple hair wasn't fat, he weighed over 140 pounds!
When did Lachlan become so fierce? Wasn't Claudia saying that he sold a kidney to pay for his daughter's medical treatment?
"Your boyfriend was too noisy, so I let him sleep for a while!"
Lachlan smiled faintly, then walked straight into the house and casually closed the door behind him.
Observing this, Charlotte crossed her arms and looked at Lachlan with a mix of astonishment and suspicion, asking, "What... what are you planning to do? Let me tell you, don't mess around."
Lachlan shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you! I wasn't before, and even more so now! As I said, can you contact Claudia? I can give you money!"
Charlotte looked at Lachlan, her eyes flickering for a few moments, "I do have Claudia's current contact information, but can you give me money? How much money can you give me?"
Her eyes still carried doubt and disdain.
"How much money do you want? Tell me."
Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Lachlan's eyes immediately brightened.
"Oh, you're so confident, as if you can give me whatever I want. Well, I want five hundred thousand, can you bring it?"
Charlotte's expression became mocking.
"Five hundred thousand?"
Lachlan's expression turned strange upon hearing this number.
Heh, thought this woman could ask for a lot, turns out it's only five hundred thousand...
