Chapter 454 Since You Sincerely Begged Me
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.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
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.
So in the eyes of Sarah and her father, Lachlan must have compromised with the Graham family, which was why he appeared here today. Remembering the losses they had suffered under Lachlan's hands in the past, how could Sarah and her father miss this opportunity to humiliate him?
"My brother-in-law bow down to the Graham family and compromise? That's hilarious! The Graham family still relies on my brother-in-law, you know? He was invited as an honored guest," Mason frowned and defended Lachlan.
"Let's just ignore them, Mason. Let's go," Lachlan pulled Mason lightly and said casually.
Lachlan didn't care about people like Sarah and her father anymore; they were not worth his attention. Miranda also had no interest in dealing with Sarah, so she held Nora's hand and prepared to leave. However, Sarah refused to let it go. She thought she had exposed Lachlan and Miranda's secret, so she felt humiliated and tried to avoid them.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Sarah took a few steps forward and stood in front of Lachlan's group, asking in a sarcastic tone.
In the next second, she sneered, "I can't stop laughing! The Graham family still relies on Lachlan? Mr. Lowe, you're really good at bragging for your brother-in-law! Even if it's for the sake of face, at least say something believable, won't you?"
"Sarah, we don't want to deal with you. It's better if you don't cause trouble for yourself!" Miranda warned Sarah with a cold face.
"Cause trouble for us? Miranda, you have quite the audacity! Do you dare to challenge me on the Graham family's territory? Since you're here, just obediently act like the Graham family's dogs with your tail between your legs! I thought the manyou found had some backbone, but he's just going to be a dog for the Graham family? Tsk, tsk..."
"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Hit me if you can!"
"If you have the guts, hit me!"
Sarah sneered. She knew Lachlan was a strong martial artist with impressive skills. If they were outside, she might not dare to provoke him, at least not openly. However, in the territory of the Graham family, she felt no fear.
She didn't believe Lachlan would dare to do anything to her here. In her eyes, Lachlan was just a lackey of the Graham family like everyone else. They were all on the same level, so she dared to provoke and humiliate him without any hesitation.
When Miranda heard Sarah's words, she was so angry that she clenched her teeth and wished she could slap her. Some people, when you don't deal with them, they still try
want
to provoke you. It's like a toad jumping onto your foot, not biting you, but annoying you nonetheless.
At this moment, Lachlan narrowed his eyes and a cold smile appeared on his face. "I've never heard such a cheap request before. Since you want me to hit you so badly, I'll fulfill your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lachlan didn't hold back and slapped Sarah directly. When someone stands in front of you, begging to be hit, it would be unfair not to satisfy their request.
Smack!
With a crisp sound of a slap, Sarah stumbled and fell to the ground. Her newly implanted false teeth flew out, and blood gushed from her mouth.
