CHAPTER 168 MEETING AN EXPERT

Chapter 168 Meeting an Expert

At this moment, Lily's face was full of resentment and anger as she shouted, "Why did you fire me? If you hadn't hit them, I wouldn't have said to fire your daughter!"

"Mr. Mclaughlin! I didn't know he was your friend. Your nephew was beaten up and I helped the Mclaughlin family. Isn't that right? Why did you just fire me like that?"

Alicia also said indignantly, "Exactly! Why didn't we get a chance?"

Philip frowned and snorted coldly, "Oh? You think you're right?"

"That's the reason! Mr. Mclaughlin, even though we were wrong today, it doesn't warrant being fired! Isn't that right?" Lily stood up and questioned.

Lachlan sneered coldly, "Reasoning? You want to talk about reasoning now? Don't tell me whether or not you are reasonable. Even if you are reasonable so what? I'm not here to reason with you; I'm just here to support my daughter!"

He looked at Philip with an extremely dominant tone,"Mr. Mclaughlin wants me to help him; these two people must leave the school!"

Damn it!

If he didn't help his own daughter vent her anger today, then Lachlan felt like he had lived in vain.

They still wanted to talk about reasoning now?

When they arbitrarily fired an innocent child just to please those in power without any regard for justice or fairness?

Philip nodded, "Mr. Willis, you can rest assured!"

As he spoke, his face became calm while looking at Lily and Alicia.

The CEO of the Mclaughlin's Construction company couldn't handle these two teachers?

"You two have no shame left?! Are you still trying to argue with me here? Let me ask you, Lily: Have you ever taken money from parents before? And what about you: have you ever received gifts? Do I need to investigate thoroughly and hold both of accountable properly?" Philip asked sternly.

Upon hearing this question, Lily and Alicia shuddered instantly, and their faces turned ugly. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Get out!" Philip shouted coldly.

Lily and Alicia dared not say another word, and left dejectedly.

How could they possibly have never received gifts before?

Especially for Lily, she had received quite a lot!

After all, Easview Kindergarten was one of Edoland's top elite schools where most children who attended came from wealthy families or nobility.

Over the years, Lily had received gifts worth almost millions. If Philip really wanted to mess with them and intentionally cause trouble, getting fired would be the least of their worries. They might even end up in jail.

After Lachlan led Nora out of the office, he squatted down and pinched her cheeks. "Are you happy staying here for school? Daddy can get you a new teacher if you want."

Lachlan usually didn't show off in front of others, but he seemed to become childish when facing Nora. He even boasted about himself to his own daughter.

Nora smiled and nodded her head vigorously. "Happy! Good!"

She leaned over and gave Lachlan a big kiss on his face while exclaiming, "Daddy is awesome! My daddy is the best!"

"Haha, that's right!" Lachlan laughed.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon; it was time for school to end soon so Lachlan planned on taking Nora home directly. At that moment, Philip ran out frantically shouting for Mr. Willis.

"Mr. Willis! Wait up!" Philip yelled anxiously.

"Mr. Willis please help me! The gardener has come again; can you come take a look?" Philip said with a bitter smile.

Lachlan said in a cold voice, "I can help you again! But your son previously betrayed me and tried to ruin me, demanding back the 50 million. I told him he has to compensate me with 10 million as restitution. In addition to helping you this time, the McLaughlin family has to pay me a total of 20 million!"

Hearing this, Philip secretly cursed Darwin in his heart, thinking that he'd always causing trouble for himself. In the next moment, his face twitched a few times. "Another 20 million? Mr. Willis, isn't this... too expensive?"

"Hmm! I also think it's a bit steep, so let's forget it!" Surprisingly, Lachlan nodded and let out a cold laugh.

Philip wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't expect Lachlan to not even negotiate and just walk away.

Actually, Lacahln charging 10 million dollars plus another million from his son added up together made 20 millions which wasn't too much considering what they owed him. It was just instinctive for businessmen like Phillip to try negotiating prices anyway. But who knew, Lacahln wouldn't play by those rules...

"No! Not expensive! Just 20 million! Mr. Willis, please help me save my family's lives!"

The mirror from last time still haunted him to this day.

Thinking back to that night, with his wife crying and cutting cloth while hanging herself, Philip shuddered.

He had no doubt that if Lachlan didn't help, his family would eventually be killed without anyone knowing.

20 million could buy their lives!

And even this time, it could potentially solve and expose the gardener – definitely worth it!

Despite Philip's impatience, Lachlan first sent Nora back home.

Seeing how anxious he was, Lachlan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

A geomancy formation couldn't kill someone in a short amount of time – what was the rush?

...

5 PM!

Lachlan followed Philip once again to the McLaughlin's Mansion!

As they arrived at the gate on either side were two lion-like stone statues - known as Pixiu - which were said to bring wealth and only allow money in but not out.

Upon entering the courtyard they saw a sturdy man in his thirties leading a group of gardeners who were busy tending to the large yard of the McLaughlin's Mansion.

"Mr. McLaughlin, you're back? How do you like how I've arranged your yard?" Emerson approached them with a smile on his face before turning towards Lachlan, "And who might this young man be?"

"Oh I'm just a friend of Mr. McLaughlin's here for a visit!" Lachlan smiled calmly before surveying all around him observing every detail. Philip trailed behind him looking perplexed by everything happening around him. Meanwhile Emerson followed closely behind them both.

Philip asked, "Mr. Willis have you noticed anything peculiar?"

Before Lachlan could answer, Emerson walked up closer with coldness flashing through his eyes, "You know about gardening too? How do you like my arrangement?"

"Not bad! Not bad! Another geomancy killing formation," Lachlan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Philip shuddered. He looked at Emerson with a serious, suspicious, and angry gaze. Was he indeed setting up traps in his own house to harm people again?

Emerson hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and pretended to be confused as he asked, "Young man, I don't understand what you're talking about! What geomancy killing formation?"

"You're not setting up the 'Pixiu spitting blood' geomancy formation? I didn't see it wrong did I?" Lachlan sneered indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emerson narrowed his eyes and his expression became completely sinister.

"I didn't expect to meet an expert like you! Last time when I set up the bloody mirror formation, it seems that you were also able to break it!"
