Chapter 69 Such DignityChapter 69 Such Dignity
At this moment, Kiera, Betty, and Orion all wanted to go over and give Paul a good slap. Even
Lachlan wasn't planning on getting into it with them anymore, but Paul had to come over and make
trouble for himself!
What the hell... was he stupid?
Before he started yelling, can he please take a look at the situation in front of him?
Didn't he see Lachlan sitting here peacefully?
"Henry, you..." Paul stumbled back after being hit and covered his face in confusion.
"Open your damn eyes wide and take a good look. Mr. Willis is the honored guest my grandfather
invited today! So it turns out that just now, you completely offended him?" Henry grabbed Paul's
collar fiercely as he spoke with an icy tone.
From how Paul exaggeratedly described the "troublemaker" earlier, Henry could imagine what kind
of attitude he showed towards Lachlan.
"Hmph!" Erik snorted coldly while scanning his granddaughter Kiera and Betty with his gaze.
As an old fox who had been around for many years, he actually sensed that something had
happened between Lachlan and these second-generation kids before.
But since Lachlan didn't want to bring up the past or explain anything further at that time, Erik didn't
pursue it either.However, this time when Paul came over yelling loudly again, making threats even, and cursing at
Lachlan, Erik finally understood what was going on.
"Lachlan, how do you want to deal with him? Just say the word and we'll throw him off the roof
today!" Erik said seriously.
The old patriarch of the Ward family saw that Caelan, Clifford, and Vincent's faces had all become
somewhat gloomy.
Today, Paul had offended someone he shouldn't have - even if this old man shouted at him a few
times, it wouldn't matter. But unfortunately for Paul, he had offended Lachlan - the one person he
really shouldn't have messed with.
Caelan felt like he had been reborn because of Lachlan. He saw Lachlan as his benefactor and
lifelong friend.
Clifford admired Lachlan's medical skills and learned a lot from him. He even considered Lachlan to
be like his own mentor.
noveldramaVincent also owed a great debt to Lachlan and came all the way from the capital just to see him.
In front of these people, one of Erik's family members actually caused such a scene. It was easy to
imagine how angry Erik must be feeling right now. So he needed to take action!
As soon as Erik finished speaking, Paul was completely dumbfounded and begged for mercy from
Erik in tears, "Erik! Please don't do this! I... I know I was wrong! I didn't know that Mr. Willis is an
important guest! It was my mistake! Please spare me this time!"
Erik snorted, "Spare you? Everyone will think that my family members are all as arrogant and
domineering as you!"However, Lachlan waved his hand, "It's not necessary. Just let him go."
After inheriting the Dragon Soul Jade Pendant legacy, Lachlan's mindset had changed significantly.
For someone like Paul, he couldn't be bothered to care. The same went for Betty and the others -
they were just a few words and Lachlan would let it slide with a smile.
He didn't feel the need to prove anything to these people, nor did he want to lower himself to their
level.
Besides, they were brought here by Erik, so Lachlan had previously kept his cool in order not to
embarrass anyone.
"No! Lachlan, you're being generous but I can't let this go!" Erik's expression became stern as he
revealed his iron-blooded side.
The next second, he waved at Henry and said, "Didn't he want to break his legs? Then do the same
thing back - break his legs and throw him out! From now on, banished from our family!"
Henry nodded, "Yes!"
With that said, this young master gestured with his hand and several of his men stepped forward.
"No! Please don't..."
"I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong... I won't dare again..."
"Erik! Mr. Willis, spare me once!"
With a series of cries and screams, Paul, who now had two broken legs, was dragged out by
someone."All right, everyone, please have a seat! We've had enough of this spectacle," Erik chuckled
sheepishly and gestured for everyone to take a seat.
Next second, he turned to Lachlan and said," Lachlan, you're still protecting these little brats.
Really..."
At this moment, he admired Lachlan even more in his heart.
Not only was he skilled in medicine, but his character and demeanor were also not something
ordinary young people could compare with.
"Yeah! Only someone like Dr. Willis who has such a broad mind and temperament can create 'Love
Light' medicine that benefits millions of leukemia patients! Dr. Willis, I toast to you!" Vincent
sincerely praised.
Caelan and Clifford looked at Lachlan with the same admiration and respect in their eyes.
"It's not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be." Lachlan felt a bit embarrassed but raised
his glass to drink with everyone else.
Next, everyone officially took their seats. Erik arranged for Kiera to sit on Lachlan's left side while
Reeva sat on his right side.
Both women were stunning in their own way, causing Lachlan's heart to flutter as he sat between
them. He tried not to look too much but the fragrant scent kept wafting into his nose.
Damn!
It was getting hard for him!
...In the other side.
Eastview Kindergarten!
"Nora! Nora! Mommy is here."
A stylish and charming woman stood outside the gate, shouting. Who else could it be but Lachlan's
ex-wife, Claudia?
A group of children had just finished their morning activities and were now running in groups
towards the cafeteria under the guidance of their teacher. When they heard Claudia's voice, a little
figure stopped suddenly. The next second, bright eyes lit up with joy and she ran over excitedly.
"Mommy! Mommy, you came to see me?" Little Nora stood by the gate with a happy face looking up
at her mother.
"Excuse me ma'am, who are you?" The teacher walked over and asked Claudia.
"Hello, I am Nora's mom! I want to take my daughter out for lunch, is that okay?" Claudia said with a
smile.
"Miss, open the door quickly. This is my mom," Nora bounced and urged.
The child wouldn't mistake someone for their mother, so the teacher didn't doubt her and had the
security guard open the door. Nora ran straight to Claudia and held her hand.
"Mommy, why did you come to see me? Are you going to make up with Daddy?" Although she knew
Claudia didn't want her or Daddy anymore, Nora was still genuinely happy that her mother came to
see her.
How could a child hold a grudge against their own mother? Deep down inside, Nora's biggest wish
was for Mom and Dad to make up so they could have a complete and warm family. So she lookedup at Claudia with hope in her eyes and asked,
"Yes, Nora. Your Dad asked me to pick you up so we can all go out for dinner together. Is that
okay?" As soon as she finished speaking, Nora jumped up happily clapping her hands saying, "Yes!
Yes! Mommy and Daddy are taking me out for delicious food!" Looking at her innocent daughter,
Claudia's heart softened momentarily.
However, immediately after that, she thought about the 1 million dollar and the consequences of
offending Tiger, so she suppressed that softness.
Her worthless father was about to be killed by someone!
She would be truly foolish to reconcile with him!
