Chapter 24 A Family Of Three?

Chapter 24 A Family of Three?

When Lachlan mentioned wanting to check his phone, Rex's last shred of hope vanished.

Having been by Miranda's side for so long, he knew just how much effort she had put into this two- year agreement and how much it meant to her. If things were to be exposed, being caught by Miranda would be the least of his worries. Mason, who was protecting his own sister, would surely kill him!

Therefore, Rex refused to let himself get caught. He took action and headed straight for Miranda!

As long as he could take her hostage, no one would dare make a move against him. Once he escaped this predicament today with his skills and Isa's protection on his side, he could do whatever he wanted in the future.

Rex moved quickly with lightning-fast reflexes honed from years as a special forces soldier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have qualified as Miranda's personal bodyguard.

However, just when he thought that victory was within reach and that he could grab hold of Miranda at any moment... another figure flashed past even faster than him!

Crack!

"Ahh!"

With a sharp sound, accompanied by a wail, Rex's body was sent flying. His right hand twisted and deformed, every bone in his arm shattered inch by inch!

On Miranda's delicate face, there remained a hint of surprise.

She thought that she was going to be kidnapped by Rex.

However, the next second, she saw a figure blocking in front of her.

And Rex, unexpectedly flew out?

A touch of brilliance couldn't help but flash from her eyes.

Miranda was well aware of Rex's skills, yet he was not a match for Lachlan?

Even being punched and sent flying?

However, Lachlan's actions did not stop there.

Peng! Peng!

Amid a dull thud and the sound of bones breaking, Lachlan ruthlessly severed Rex's remaining three limbs with brute force, rendering him completely powerless to resist.

Looking at this scene, everyone's face twitched!

No one would have thought that the new fiancé that Miranda found would be so ruthless!

Was he really a puppet, a gigolo?

"Ah! Don't!"

"Lachlan, you devil! You won't live for too long!"

"You will not die a good death! You will suffer an ill fate!"

Rex looked at Lachlan who was squatting beside him with a blank expression on his face, and let out fearful screams and curses.

"Can you tell me, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

"Why do you have to be so difficult with me?"

"Why do you have to look down on me?"

Speaking of this, Lachlan's eyes flickered and he punched Rex in the spine.

This person was utterly ruined! Even if the bones of his limbs were reattached, he would still be confined to a wheelchair in the future.

Rex screamed again and passed out directly from the pain.

Yes, Lachlan's moves can be considered ruthless!

Since his daughter fell ill, he had experienced bankruptcy, selling the factory, his ex-wife's betrayal, and so on and so forth...

People's feelings were warm and cold, and the world was full of coldness!

All of this made his heart unusually cold and hard.

The only soft and warm place was left for Nora. So when it came to dealing with enemies, Lachlan showed no mercy.

"Miranda, I'll leave this to you. He wanted to harm you, and I acted in self-defense by taking care of him. You can handle this small matter, right?" Lachlan stood up and looked around.

He also took Rex's phone out of his pocket and handed it over to Miranda.

At that moment, as Lachlan looked around, all the company employees who met his gaze quickly averted their eyes. No one dared to meet his gaze.

Especially those who had mocked and ridiculed Lachlan just now wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

Shelly next to him had a wandering gaze; she seemed like she wanted to look at Lachlan but didn't dare.

Thinking about her mockery of Lachlan earlier this morning made Shelly feel scared afterwards.

Miranda gave a deep look at Lachlan before taking the phone from him. The next second she used the phone to make a call.

"How is it? Do you have any new information?" On the other end of the line was a cold and low voice.

"Isa, do these vulgar tricks interest you?" Miranda gritted her teeth as she asked.

The person on the other end paused for a few seconds before hanging up the phone.

Miranda's face flickered with mixed emotions, and then she coldly asked those around her, "What are you all doing here? Don't you have jobs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the employees scattered.

Miranda was a very strict CEO who was known to be an iceberg.

...

A moment later, in the CEO's office.

Miranda had already called her family to send someone over to take care of Rex.

When dealing with traitors like him, she would never choose to call the police. The family had their own way of handling things.

"How did you find out about these bugs around me?" Miranda stared at Lachlan and asked. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh, I used to be a soldier," Lachlan casually replied.

"Forget it if you don't want to say," Miranda pouted and complained slightly like a little girl for once in rare occasion.

Looking at the man in front of her, Miranda admitted that she was curious about him. However, her pride prevented her from asking any questions.

This guy knew medicine, gambling and now it seemed he knew kung fu too? How could someone like him be forced to crash her car and seek death over a small medical bill?

Shaking her head, Miranda didn't have the energy to think too much about it. She sat in her office chair staring into space.

Today's events were a blow to her. The person she trusted most turned out to be a traitor. The anger and heartache were indescribable.

After some time had passed, Miranda looked up at Lachlan for the first time with an expression of exhaustion and vulnerability.

"Lachlan, do you think I can succeed in my struggle? Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting for nothing! Ha ha..."

"Of course you can!" Lachlan nodded firmly without hesitation.

For some reason, the weariness in Miranda's heart dissipated instantly as if Lachlan's simple words had once again awakened her fighting spirit.

"Good! I hope you can stay alive forever and be my husband."

"I will always stay alive."

Lachlan nodded again before changing his tone with a smirk on his face, "By the way Ms. Lowe, this time I helped you out again right? Can we talk about another condition?"

Miranda rolled her eyes at him, "Go ahead."

"Can I not stay in the company anymore? There's really nothing to do here. I just have to pick you up and drop you off every day, pretending to be your man. But mainly, I have to pick up and drop off my daughter from school," Lachlan said sheepishly.

Miranda snorted but nodded her head anyway. "Fine! But if I need you, you better come running!" she said with a hint of dominance in her voice.

She remembered how her previous two fiancés had wanted to stick by her side all the time, even though it was all fake. This guy was different...

"Oh yeah, is your daughter out of the hospital? Is she already going to school? How about we pick up your child tonight and have dinner together as a family of three?" Miranda suggested.

"A family of three?" Lachlan looked at Miranda with a strange expression on his face.

Feeling embarrassed under his gaze, Miranda huffed and said, "Yes! We're supposed to be a family of three now since everyone thinks you're my husband. As her supposed stepmother figure, shouldn't I eat dinner with the child too? It's only natural."

Lachlan nodded awkwardly. "Yeah... yeah."
