CHAPTER 104 AUNTIE'S FAMILY IS HERE

Chapter 104 Auntie's Family is Here

"Exactly, they can't just be kicked out! They have an invitation, how could they be kicked out?" Emmanuel's face remained calm as he spoke. But then his tone changed and he coldly snorted, "And don't think for a second that Miranda's mother and I approve of you! Hmph!"

Initially, the herbal medicine merchants had cut off supplies to the pharmaceutical company. Emmanuel and Cara had been quite satisfied about it. But upon hearing about tomorrow's business exchange meeting, they felt uneasy again. Lachlan's boastful words only made them feel even more uncertain.

The Lowe family had received an invitation but it seemed like they were no longer relevant.

"Hey... Lachlan, why did you say that? If we don't go to this business exchange meeting then so be it. It's not a big deal." Miranda scolded him. Property © of .

But Lachlan just smiled and said confidently, "Trust me! You'll come with me tomorrow and nobody will dare kick us out."

Miranda let out a small "oh?" at his words but seeing how confident he was she nodded her head in agreement, "Okay, I trust you!"

Unknowingly she had developed some kind of inexplicable trust in Lachlan.

Lachlan nodded then turned towards Cara with a look on his face like he was trying to please his mother-in-law.

"Oh yeah, take a look at what I brought for you..." He said as he tried to open up the box in his hands to show Cara what was inside.

However before he could finish speaking several people barged into the room once again,

"Sis? Brother-in-law? What are you doing here?" Cara asked surprised by their sudden appearance.

"What else would we be doing here? Today is your birthday so we came to wish you well." It was Miranda's aunt and uncle who came along with her cousin Ellie Kennedy and her boyfriend.

Cara hadn't invited anyone else yet there were more people coming over again after Romeo's family.

After greeting everyone Miranda pulled Lachlan aside, "This is my auntie and uncle plus my cousin Ellie."

Lachlan politely greeted them all saying, "Hello Auntie, Hello Uncle, Hello Cousin Ellie. I'm Miranda's husband, Lachlan."

"Aiyahh.. so this is the husband that Miranda found huh? Is this real or fake?" At this point, Miranda's aunt scrutinized Lanchan while asking with hidden intentions behind her words.

"Is it true that you're a son-in-law who married into the family? Well, being a son-in-law is great. You don't have to work hard for yourself! Hehe..." Uncle Cannon Kennedy said with a smile, but his words sounded harsh.

As he spoke, he waved at the young man next to Ellie, and said to Emmanuel and Cara, "This is Ellie's boyfriend, Daniel Walsh. Come on Daniel, say hello to Mr. And Mrs. Lowe and Miranda."

With these words spoken, the young man put down a large box in his hand and walked over.

"Happy birthday Mrs. Lowe! Hello Mr. Lowe! Miranda, you're so beautiful!"

Finally, Daniel looked at Miranda with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Emmanuel nodded lightly before looking at his wife with an inquisitive expression.

Cara forced a smile as she responded to Daniel's greeting. She too was feeling angry inside.

No one had invited them today yet her elder sister's family had come over anyway. They claimed it was for her birthday celebration but she couldn't shake off the feeling that their intentions were not pure. Were they just showing off their future son-in-law?

Miranda also frowned slightly as her beautiful face turned cold.

At this moment, Daniel greeted the others and walked up to Lachlan, extending his hand. "You're Lachlan, right? We're going to be in-laws from now on! By the way, where do you work at?"

Lachlan shook hands with him and replied in a subdued tone, "I don't work. I've been busy helping Miranda set up her factory."

Daniel raised an eyebrow, shaking Lachlan's hand. "Ah, so you're not working anywhere? I've heard from Ellie that Miranda found herself an live-in husband, and it seems it's not a baseless rumor! Bro, I envy you. You don't have to struggle. Unlike me, I work as a warehouse manager in a jade and gemstone wholesale company. It's hard work every day! Even though the boss values me and pays me a monthly salary of 5 thousand, it's still not as good as living a carefree life like you. Haha..."

Despite his friendly tone, it was evident that Daniel was subtly mocking Lachlan for being a freeloader. He had been captivated by Miranda's beauty and couldn't understand why someone like Lachlan could marry such a goddess.

Driven by jealousy, he couldn't resist taking a jab at Lachlan.

At that moment, Ellie, Miranda's cousin, lifted her chin and said to Miranda, "Miranda, when looking for a man you need someone reliable and ambitious. You don't have to expect him to make a lot of money but at least he should have a steady job."

Miranda's face turned cold as she replied expressionlessly, "Lachlan is very reliable. Actually the factory I work at now was given to me by him."

Upon hearing this statement, Cara's sister, Celine Lewis, let out a laugh and said sarcastically, "Miranda, don't flatter your man! He's just an in-law who came knocking on your door. How could he give you a factory? Let Daniel help Lachlan find a job in his company. You can't rely on yourself forever right? After all things are different now from before when you were backed by the Lowe family. You can't just sit around doing nothing while supporting this idle gigolo of yours."

"You're right! Leave it up to me! My boss thinks highly of me so I'll say something and get him assigned some cleaning duties or something like that haha..." Daniel boasted with pride.

"Well cleaning isn't too bad either... it beats staying at home all day," Celine nodded with approval.

"Enough!" Cara scolded them coldly and asked her sister angrily, "What did you guys come here for today?"

Emmanuel also showed his anger, "We've been kicked out of our family clan... are you guys here just to make fun of us?"

As soon as Emmanuel finished speaking, Celine's expression turned sour, "How could you two say such things? We came here kindly for Cara's birthday party but why do we get such attitude from you guys? Getting Daniel to help Lachlan find work is also an act of kindness."

Although her words sounded noble, there was clearly mockery and satisfaction written all over Cannon's face.

For years they had not lived as well off as Miranda's family especially since he himself had no comparison with Emmanuel whatsoever.

Cara married into the Lowe family, although she didn't really interact much with them, which inevitably led them feeling inferior compared to her status within the clan.

Among relatives there had always been comparisons made between each other.

Now that Emmanuel's family had been kicked out while Miranda found herself an live-in husband, it finally gave them an opportunity for revenge.

Especially when compared to their son-in-law, Daniel, and Lachlan, who had married into the family, they felt even more superior.

Today was their chance to show off!

"Come on now, let's not all get angry," Daniel stepped forward to defuse the situation. As he spoke, he opened up the large box that was sitting on the ground.

"Mrs. Lowe, please don't be upset. Ellie and her parents didn't mean anything by it! This is a birthday gift from me to you - just a small token of my appreciation. Hehe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were drawn to a piece of raw emerald in the box that shimmered with an ethereal green light.

Lachlan paused for a moment at the sight of this precious gemstone before his eyes flashed with meaning.
