Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 The Two-Faced Stone

Upon hearing Lachlan's enthusiastic response, Branden was taken aback for a moment before sneering, "Kid, it seems like you don't know anything! Don't try to act tough. If you admit that you were just talking nonsense and apologize to me, I won't make things difficult for you!"

"Idiot! It's obvious this piece of material will turn out green! A useless waste who knows nothing dares to challenge Mr. Carney!" Harlow mocked with a cold laugh.

"Do you think the title 'Sky-eye Carney' was just given to him? Even those who have a little common sense know that this piece of material is a sure bet. Ignorance is truly terrifying. Haha..." Kacper also laughed and shook his head.

"Common sense isn't always the truth! Not only this stone but any of the rough stones in this batch, I'm willing to bet they'll all be garbage!" Lachlan said in a deep voice with unwavering confidence.

Miranda glanced at Lachlan. She was sure that this rough stone would also turn out green but didn't try to persuade him otherwise since she had witnessed his miraculous abilities before.

However, Betty felt nervous for Lachlan and leaned over to advise him, "Mr. Willis, this rough stone definitely won't fail. Don't gamble with him; if you lose 1 million dollar and still have to give him the jade we cut from it... wouldn't that be infuriating?"

"Yeah Mr. Wills, there's no need," Orion chimed in.

It wasn't because they didn't believe in Lachlan; it was simply because the quality of this rough stone looked too good.

At this moment, Harlow suddenly thought of something and sneered, "Oh yeah, can your gold-digging ass come up with 1 million? Don't try to weasel out if you lose!"

In her eyes, Lachlan was just a puppet husband for Miranda.

He had a million dollars in his hand?

Even if Lowe's Pharmaceutical suddenly received orders worth millions of dollars, they wouldn't give any to Lachlan.

Even Miranda couldn't get her hands on those millions. She only completed Victoria's goals.

After all, the chairman of the pharmaceutical company was still Victoria's.

"You don't have to worry about that. I can come up with a million," said Lachlan expressionlessly.

"Oh wow! Your little puppet act is really paying off huh? Do you drink foot-washing water every day and serve my cousin happily?" Harlow taunted and insulted him.

"Harlow! That's enough!" Miranda blushed slightly and angrily rebuked Harlow as she became more offensive in her speech.

"Hmph! Some people can't find a good man but still act high-and-mighty and refuse to marry into wealthy families. They find themselves a gigolo but won't let anyone say anything about it. Here's my boyfriend; say whatever you want." Harlow said sarcastically while hugging Kacper's arm proudly.

She was actually the same age as Miranda; just half a year apart.

Harlow had always been overshadowed by Miranda since they were young. Miranda was always the center of attention in school, and even though Harlow was smart and beautiful, she could never compete with Miranda's popularity. As they grew older, Miranda's ability to manage her family business far surpassed Harlow's, which only fueled her jealousy towards her.

But when it came to finding a man, Harlow finally felt like she had one up on Miranda. She believed that her boyfriend was much better than Lachlan in every way possible and couldn't wait to show off in front of Miranda.

Miranda simply chuckled at Harlow's display of arrogance. She knew that there were plenty of wealthy suitors vying for her attention who were far more impressive than Kacper or any other man that Harlow could bring around.

As they watched the stone being placed onto the cutting machine by Anton' men, Lachlan convinced that it was nothing but junk. However, since Anton wasn't paying for it himself anyway, he decided to let them have their fun.

"So how do you want us to cut this?" The master cutter asked them both.

"Cut from this line and slowly polish it," Branden said, using a chalk to draw on the stone.

"I think we should just cut it in half from the middle. Don't waste our time!" Lachlan said impatiently, rolling his eyes.

Harlow scoffed at him, "You're just trying to ruin this stone because you know you're going to lose to Mr. Carney and don't want him to have it."

"Don't be so twisted in your thinking, young man," Branden replied coldly.
