Chapter 91 Furious and Frustrated
Upon seeing so many people waiting here, Miranda’s beautiful eyes filled with anger and coldness. She knew that most of these people were here to watch her and Lachlan make a fool of themselves. Of course, not all of them were like that!
In the crowd of the Lowe family, Emmanuel, Cara, and Mason were also present. Their expressions were somewhat solemn and worried, but they still supported her in their hearts.
“Well well well, so many people? Are you really that idle?” Lachlan sneered as he scanned the crowd.
“No worries! Being a person means being honest! Since we made a bet with you, even if I’m busy I still have to take some time out to enjoy your dog barking,” Harlow teased playfully. Then she shook something in her hand – it turned out to be a dog leash.
“By the way, don’t forget to wear this when you bark later – it’ll look more authentic! Hahaha…” Harlow laughed uncontrollably while other people joined in on mocking Lachlan one after another.
“So are you ready to call me daddy?” asked Lachlan expressionlessly.
Hearing this question Harlow was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, “You stubborn nobody! You’re still talking tough at this point?”
“We all know how things are going. I thought you had some way to unfreeze the account? Are you really going to beg Mr. Gallagher for a meal?” Eliza mocked.
“Mr. Gallagher would never agree, even if the sun rose in the west! How naive and foolish,” Romeo sneered.
“Yeah, you’re just wasting our time with your boasting,” others chimed in.
Mason, feeling indignant for Lachlan, spoke up, “Can’t you guys speak nicely?”
As members of the Lowe family, no one was afraid of Mason and everyone spoke their minds freely.
At that moment, Victoria knocked her cane a few times and said sternly, “Enough!” Everyone quieted down immediately.
The real head of the Lowe family walked out next and looked at Lachlan and Miranda, “Alright now, don’t make yourselves more of a joke. Young man, since you made a bet then honor it. When it’s time to bark like a dog later on make sure everyone can hear you loud and clear.”
“As for Miranda here,” she continued while looking at Miranda with an icy smile. “Just marry Mr. Austin obediently and stop causing trouble for our family.”
It was all because of this guy, who kept contradicting her in the family. He had repeatedly embarrassed her in public before. How could Victoria not hold a grudge against Lachlan?
“Grandma, the company’s account will be unfrozen soon! We won!” Miranda spoke up firmly.
Everyone paused for a moment before showing their disbelief.
“How is that possible?”
“Are you kidding me? You think treating him to dinner will solve everything?”
Victoria snorted coldly, “Do you really think Mr. Austin’s connections can be shaken by just one meal with you guys?”
“That’s right! Miranda, are you trying to stall for this guy?” Romeo sneered.
Harlow teased, “Miranda, are you saying it’ll only be unfrozen by the end of today? No problem. We have plenty of patience and we’ll wait until midnight if we have to listen to this guy dog bark!”
“I’m telling the truth! Lachlan invited Mr. Barker from the Banking Supervision Committee and Mr. Gallagher agreed to unfreeze it!” Miranda gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Victoria snorted coldly. “Morgan Barker? Miranda, you’ve learned to lie now! What’s Mr. Barker’s status? Why would he be willing to come at Lachlan’s request?”
“It’s true!” Miranda defended.
“Miranda, you’ve been corrupted by this guy! You’re even starting to spout nonsense!” Harlow sneered.
“That’s right, Miranda. You can’t be like this,” the Lowe family chimed in.
“Miranda, it’s best if you stay away from this guy. Birds of a feather flock together. You’re even learning how to brag!”
“How could Mr. Barker possibly agree to come at your request? Even if it was for the old lady’s sake, he wouldn’t give in!”
“Does Lachlan have more face than the old lady?” The Lowe family all showed disdainful expressions and no one believed them.
“You’ll know soon enough whether it’s true or not! I just hope that some people won’t deny it when they lose later on. Although she doesn’t deserve to call me dad and I don’t agree with it, listening is still pretty good.” Lachlan looked towards Harlow with a wicked smile on his face.
“You dream on! Only in your dreams can you deceive yourself like that!” Harlow spat back.
However, just then someone rushed into the CEO office in a hurry.
“Ms. Lowe! Ms. Lowe! The account has been unfrozen!”
“The company’s account has finally been unfrozen!”
The financial manager of the company ran over excitedly, wanting to share the good news with Miranda.
The next second, he saw so many people standing here and was suddenly stunned, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, the expressions of the Lowe family were even more awkward, even spectacular!
“Mr. Boyer, what did you say?” Victoria asked with a gloomy face.
It seemed that the unfreezing of the company’s account was not necessarily a good thing for her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I said that the company’s account has been unfrozen. What happened?” the financial manager asked in surprise and suspicion.
As soon as his words fell, there was an uproar on site.
“Are you f*cking kidding me? How could our company’s account be unfrozen?” Romeo twitched his face and questioned angrily.
“That’s right! Look carefully before speaking!” Harlow shouted sharply with an unbelievable look on her face.
“Really! The account has really been unfrozen! One of our suppliers was chasing us for payment, but I just transferred the money over!” The financial manager looked confused at the grim expressions on everyone’s faces.
Wasn’t it a good thing that the company’s account had been unfrozen and they could use their funds again?
“Heh, looks like you lost my bet. Harlow, are you ready to call me daddy yet?” Lachlan chuckled and teased Harlow.
But at this moment, Harlow’s face turned from black to red with anger. “You’re kidding me! How is this even possible? What dirty tricks did you use to get Mr. Gallagher to unfreeze our account?”
“Did my cousin sleep with him? Or did you kneel down in front of him?” Harlow stomped her foot in frustration and couldn’t accept this reality.
Lachlan’s face darkened as he heard her words.
