Betty realized she had said the wrong thing! She had brought up a topic that Lachlan hadn't even mentioned, and now he could easily use it to reveal how she and her friends had insulted and mocked him earlier. Betty was beside herself with regret, wishing she could slap herself in the face.
She couldn't afford to offend Erik or humiliate his esteemed guest. Her family's business in jade and jewelry depended on their dealings with the Reid's Group, which was closely tied to Vincent, the wealthiest man in this state. Vincent was practically groveling at Lachlan's feet, offering him shares of his company as a token of gratitude for saving his wife's life.
It was clear that offending Lachlan would be tantamount to offending Vincent himself. Betty's family business would likely suffer greatly if they lost their connection with the Reid's Group or if Vincent cut ties with the Ellis family altogether. The other rich heirs present looked just as nervous and fearful as Betty did; they were even more vulnerable than her since their families didn't have as much clout or influence compared to the Ward family or Vincent.
This was bad news indeed! One sentence from Lachlan could ruin everything for them all!
If they had known, why did they have to open their mouth and follow Paul's lead? Such a lowly person...
Even Orion looked bitter.
He wasn't afraid of offending Erik and Vincent since he didn't come from Kreanford. But today, he came seeking medical help.
Now it seemed that Lachlan was the famous doctor...
"It's... nothing." Betty waved her hand, trying to make herself laugh naturally but found her face stiffening.
"Oh? Nothing?" Erik was suspicious and then looked at Lachlan. "Lachlan, what's going on? Is something wrong?"
When they saw Erik directly asking Lachlan, these second-generation rich kids all felt their hearts tighten as cold sweat began to break out.
This was bad! This was bad!
However, the next second surprised them. Lachlan smiled and shook his head. "Nothing's wrong; everything's fine. This little beauty here is quite cute in her foolishness; this big beauty over here is pleasing to the eye; and this Mr. Moore has a unique voice. As for them, each one is quite talkative. It's good-everything's good."
Lachlan smiled at these young people without mentioning any previous unpleasantness whatsoever.
Upon hearing these words, the second-generation kids couldn't help but stare at Lachlan in surprise.
As they let out a sigh of relief, a hint of gratitude and shame even surfaced in their eyes.
Despite being ridiculed and mocked by them, this guy was actually helping them cover up?
Betty looked at Lachlan and blinked her eyes a few times!
Before this, if anyone dared to call her stupid, she would definitely tear their mouth apart.
However, for some reason, Betty felt particularly pleased to hear Lachlan say this about her.
Kiera looked at Lachlan with a hint of surprise and admiration in her beautiful eyes.
This guy actually had such an open mind and generosity?
"What about me?" At this point, Reeva approached Lachlan with some coquettishness and asked somewhat petulantly.
It seemed that while Lachlan had "reviewed" all the other young people present, he hadn't evaluated her yet. This made Reeva somewhat dissatisfied.
Lachlan glanced over at her before smirking
This girl had an indescribable gratitude and fondness for Lachlan in her heart.
