Chapter 51 Tearing Apart the Dark Clouds with Sunshine
Albie's face turned unnatural at Lachlan's words. He knew that Lachlan was mocking him, but for the sake of his son, he had to put on a brave face.
"Mr. Willis, Ms. Lowe, I really know I was wrong. I promise this time is a sincere cooperation. For the sake of my son, please have mercy on me and help save him! I beg you! Whatever conditions you ask for, as long as it can save my son."
Albie knelt down and kowtowed while tears streamed down his face.
He truly cried. Thinking about the possibility that his son might lose his life because of his own foolishness, Albie felt a deep sense of despair.
Miranda pulled Lachlan aside and whispered softly, "Lachlan, let it go. As long as he cooperates sincerely, don't be too harsh."
Lachlan shook his head silently and took out a contract from his briefcase since Miranda came to sign with Albie today.
"The price of medicinal materials seems a bit high," muttered Lachlan.
Upon hearing this sentence, Albie shuddered in realization.
"Yes! Yes! Last time Ms. Lowe gave me some benefits but the price was indeed too high! How about two-thirds of this price? What do you think Mr. Wills?"
Hearing this proposal made by Albie, Miranda's eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.
Was he sure he wanted to lower the price by another third? Lachlan didn't think Albie will be making much profit, and he might even lose money since he was in the wholesale business and profits weren't that high.
Lachlan nodded after considering the situation. "Since I understand your desperation to save your son, let's go with this price."
Although Lachlan was angry at Albie's change of heart, he could empathize with him as a father who would do anything for his child. It was pitiful how far some parents would go just for their children to survive.
Albie cried uncontrollably again and thanked Lachlan profusely. "Thank you so much, Mr. Willis! If there is ever anything I can do for you in return, I'll do it without hesitation!"
"That won't be necessary," Lachlan said as he handed Albie something. "Take a look at this and see if you recognize it."
Albie stood up from the ground while Kayden looked on with a gloomy expression on his face. He knew that Albie wouldn't listen to him anymore due to his emotional rollercoaster ride.
The sudden shift in emotions made Kayden feel like vomiting blood.
At that moment, his phone rang and Kayden felt a sense of unease as he answered, "Mr. Austin!"
"What's up? Haha, did that little bitch Miranda give up?" Isa's triumphant voice came through the line.
Kayden wiped away a cold sweat and nervously replied, "Mr. Austin, there's been some trouble! The strange medicine Clifford had in his hands was actually... given to him by Lachlan!"
"What are you saying? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?" Isa paused for a moment before shouting incredulously.
"It's true... Albie even kneeled down to Lachlan. I'm sorry Mr. Austin, it was my fault!" Kayden stammered.
"Damn it! Useless! All useless!" Isa cursed angrily and frustratedly.
Suddenly, Kayden felt his phone slip from his hand as Miranda snatched it away.
"Isa!" The goddess CEO spoke coldly into the phone.
"Miranda! You bitch! Tell me what the hell is going on?" Isa's voice was low and ominous.
"What's going on? Ha, you think your dark cloud can cover the sky? Someone will tear it apart!" Miranda sneered and mocked him. As Isa let out an angry roar on the phone, Miranda took it away from her ear and slammed it to the ground without hesitation.
She felt a rush of anger in her chest that she couldn't hold back any longer.
Kayden saw his phone shattered into pieces and his face twitched a few times, but he didn't dare do anything to Miranda.
He left the room like a dog with its tail between its legs.
The goddess CEO turned her beautiful eyes towards Lachlan with a charming smile on her stunning face, as if Isa was the dark cloud covering her while Lachlan was the sunshine tearing through it.
In the next moment, Lachlan felt a gentle breeze brush against his face with warmth that quickly dissipated. "You're so kind!" said Miranda, beaming with beauty like an excited little girl who had just achieved something great.
Lachlan rolled his eyes at this display of childishness.
Miranda actually kissed him?
Damn! He didn't even feel anything, and it was already over?
This woman had no sincerity at all.
A few minutes later...
Lachlan pushed a piece of paper in front of Albie, "I call this Dragon Marrow Herb. With it, I can cure leukemia. Do you have any?"
Drawing the precious herb from memory, Lachlan asked Albie to identify it as the largest wholesale supplier of raw materials in Kreanford.
Nora's illness cannot go untreated for another day, and Lachlan cannot rest easy either.
Albie stared at the drawing for a while and tried to remember, "I don't have any on hand, but I think I've seen something similar before when I was purchasing goods in Yeginia."
As soon as he heard this, Lachlan's eyes lit up, "When will you be going to Yeginia next? Can you get your hands on some?"
"I'll be heading back there in a few days! I'll do my best to find this herb!" Albie was also excited.
His son's condition was more critical than Nora's situation; naturally he cared about this matter just as much.
Although there was still some time until his next purchase trip, Albie decided to set off immediately after finishing all the cooperation matters with Miranda.
"Take this drawing with you!"
Lachlan nodded, filled with anticipation. In his mind, nothing was more important than curing Nora's illness.
At that moment, Miranda walked over with a furrowed brow and a look of hesitation and nervousness on her face. Just moments ago she had been all smiles.
"What's wrong?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"My grandmother and my parents want to meet you," Miranda said biting her lip. "If you don't want to go, I can refuse for you."
If Lachlan had been like the previous two puppets, she wouldn't have even bothered asking for his opinion. Her previous puppets were obedient and went wherever they were told to go without question.
But things were different with Lachlan; Miranda had begun to learn how to respect his opinions.
"I'll meet them eventually anyway," Lachlan smiled. Both of them knew it wasn't going to be that simple.
They arrived at the Lowe family mansion where Victoria Lowe lived - home of Miranda's grandmother.
A group of people sat in the lobby, their faces grim. The young man at the head of the group still had a swollen face.
If it wasn't Tiger's son Josiah, then who could it be?
Beside him sat a towering man exuding a powerful aura.
The Lowe family members' faces were all unpleasant, not because they were afraid of Josiah's gang but because they harbored resentment towards someone.
"Miranda found that gigolo and he did good!" muttered Eliza.
At this moment, the burly man next to Josiah spoke up in a deep voice, "Madam, Mr. Webb said that although there was some friction between Mr. Mason and him, he doesn't want to completely break ties with your family." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"But Lachlan is your son-in-law from your family after all. He hit my young master; what should you do?"
"I understand! My family won't really make enemies with your boss over just one guy! That kid will come over soon and we'll take care of him ourselves before handing him over to you for disposal!"
