Miracle Doctor Daddy

After Scarlet finished speaking, she gave Lachlan a cold glance before walking towards the warehouse. Lachlan didn’t say anything and followed her.

It wasn’t until Scarlet had loaded the goods onto the car and was about to get in that Lachlan grabbed her arm. “Wait, come with me to see Mr. Elliott for a bit. We can leave together afterwards.”

Hearing this, Scarlet’s face showed annoyance and impatience as she shook off his hand. “Lachlan, are you crazy? You’ve been following me without saying anything and now you want me to go with you? What, do you want to pursue me too?”

She couldn’t help but wonder what this jerk was up to. He used to ignore her completely but now he was trying to stick around?

Was he playing hard-to-get?

Or was he just being persistent because she was not paying attention?

“Don’t be ridiculous! Your father asked me to protect you because someone might try something against you,” Lachlan explained while furrowing his brows.

“Ha! With so many guys pursuing me, your reason is really lame,” Scarlet sneered at him in disdain.

“You’re just trying too hard! You’re such a basic guy!” Scarlet rolled her eyes at him.

“Pursue me? You’re my brother-in-law’s woman; why would I pursue you?” Lachlan retorted defensively. “Your father asked me specifically to protect you; if you don’t believe it then call him yourself.”

Lachlan was a bit speechless at Scarlet’s misunderstanding and couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “This girl seems a bit narcissistic, huh?”

“Get lost! Who said I’m Mason’s woman? Listen carefully, we don’t have any relationship yet. Who needs your protection? Get out of my way!” Scarlet was furious when she heard Lachlan say that she was Mason’s woman.

As she spoke, she tried to open the car door and leave. However, Lachlan grabbed her wrist and forcefully closed the door.

“From now on, until we see your dad, you can’t leave my sight!” he declared.

“Lead the way, Miss,” Lachlan said impatiently as he grabbed Scarlet’s wrist and pulled her towards the office building.

“Oh…” The female secretary who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“You jerk! Let go of me! Why should I follow you?” Scarlet shouted angrily.

“You’re such a boring man! A stinky pervert!” She threatened him by saying “I’ll call for harassment! Do you believe me if I tell my dad to catch you?”

“Asshole!” Scarlet’s face turned red with anger as she struggled desperately, but to no avail.

A few minutes later, Albie’s secretary led Lachlan into a reception room and announced, “Mr. Elliott, Mr. Willis is here!”

“If you don’t want to embarrass yourself, then stop making a scene! Do you hear me?” Lachlan said to Scarlet after their tumultuous journey.

The beautiful heiress was now red-eyed and filled with anger and resentment. When had she ever been treated like this before?

This bastard was so domineering!

Scarlet hated Lachlan at that moment and glared at him fiercely.

Just then, Albie came out to greet them and was surprised to see Scarlet with Lachlan.

“Scarlet? You’re here too? Come in for some tea,” he said.

“Yes, sorry for bothering, Mr. Elliott,” Scarlet replied calmly as she tried not to make a scene in front of Albie and the others present.

Lachlan was determined to keep her, and Scarlet had compromised.

At that moment, Albie turned and shook Lachlan’s hand, gesturing towards the hall with a nod. “Mr. Willis, I apologize for not personally coming down to greet you with so many guests here today.”

“No worries, you go ahead and do what you need to do,” Lachlan waved his hand dismissively.

Albie smiled apologetically and let Lachlan go in first to take a seat in the spacious reception room that was over 200 square meters large. There were already more than ten people sitting there dressed in their best attire.

After Scarlet came in, several bosses were enthusiastically greeting her by her side. As the daughter of the commander, she was always the center of attention wherever she went!This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Each person had a tea table set up in front of them with various snacks and tea utensils on top. With too many guests today, Albie had organized a tea party where everyone could drink tea while discussing business matters without worrying about getting drunk like they would at an alcohol-filled banquet.

“Oh look who it is! The son-in-law from the Lowe family has come knocking at our door? What brings you here?” A voice filled with ridicule sounded as soon as Lachlan walked into the room.

Looking towards where he heard it from, Lachlan realized there was another familiar face among those present.

Harlow’s boyfriend, Kacper, sat next to a middle-aged man who was none other than Monty Atkinson, the CEO of Monty’s Jade Wholesale Group. Lachlan chuckled and ignored Kacper, but his gaze fell on the other middle-aged man sitting next to Monty. The man wore loose white sportswear and sat there with an air of composure and long breaths. His temples were raised high – a master? Lachlan thought to himself but didn’t stare too much before sitting down by himself.

He picked up some tea leaves with his hand and put them in the teapot. He brewed it with hot water before pouring it into a cup and drinking it.

“Haha… can you believe someone still drinks tea like this? What a bumpkin! So embarrassing!” Kacper laughed mockingly.

Monty shook his head. “Albie, why did you even invite someone like him? He doesn’t even know how to drink tea properly.”

As someone who often traveled through Yeginia for jade wholesale business in Moclington, Albie had become good friends with Monty over time. That was why the Atkinson family father and son happened to be here today as well.

Monty heard about the incident at the gambling stone field from his son and harbored some resentment towards Lachlan. It was because of this guy that his 80 million dollar worth of raw stones went down the drain. Otherwise, selling to Anton was a sure thing, and whether or not good jade could be produced was up to Anton and those gambling stone people.

Raw stones were inherently risky.

When Anton came, he can only suffer a loss.

“Mr. Willis is my esteemed guest!” Albie frowned and said to the Atkinson family father and son.

“Oh?” Monty was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting Albie to speak up for Lachlan directly.

However, at this moment another voice full of ridicule and sarcasm rang out immediately after.

“What esteemed guest? You don’t even know how to taste tea properly! Making a fool of yourself here! Hmph!”

“Top-grade Oolong tea is wasted on you if you’re just going to drink it like plain water!” Scarlet glared at Lachlan with disdainful laughter in her voice.

“Lachlan you bastard! Are you forcing me stay here with you? Fine! See if I don’t humiliate you severely and make you lose face!” Scarlet thought to herself.
