CHAPTER 26 ARE YOU PROTECTING HER?

Chapter 26 Are you protecting her?

Upon seeing Lachlan standing in front of her and hearing his words, Miranda felt a slight sense of relief. She knew that she wouldn't need to intervene in this situation today. While she excelled in the business world, dealing with these types of confrontations was not her strong suit.

"What did you say, bastard?" Dominic glared at Lachlan and questioned him menacingly.

"Who do you think you are? Your boss hasn't spoken yet, so why are you barking like a dog?" Rose's face immediately turned red as she pointed at Lachlan's nose and yelled excitedly.

"You nasty woman! You can't talk about my Daddy like that!" Nora heard her father being insulted and immediately became upset. Pouting her little face angrily, she shouted back.

"Who do you think you're talking to? I'll slap the hell out of you!" Rose sharply retorted as she raised her hand to slap Nora. However, there was no way that Lachlan would let Nora get hit. He quickly pulled the little girl behind him while his eyes turned completely cold.

"What are you looking at? Is this your daughter? Her father likes to bark like a dog so now even the little ones have learned how to bark too?" Rose cursed and was vulgar.

Lachlan's words just now made her feel like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The next second, she coldly looked at Miranda and said, "Ms. Lowe, I never thought you would stoop so low as to go after a man with a child. Are you that desperate for a man? What kind of person does that make you? Even if you want a gigolo, at least find someone young and handsome!"

Miranda blushed in embarrassment and didn't know how to respond to Rose's rude behavior.

Rose intentionally raised her voice so that everyone around them could hear.

People nearby started pointing fingers and gossiping about the situation.

Seeing this scene unfold before them, Rose finally felt relieved while Dominic sneered repeatedly.

They were here today specifically to humiliate Miranda. Humiliating Lachlan was just an added bonus since they saw him as nothing more than Miranda's lapdog.

However, despite being publicly humiliated by this couple, there was an eerie smile on Lachlan's face - almost sinister!

In the moment when Rose slapped Nora across the face earlier on in their confrontation with each other; Lachlan knew exactly what he needed to do.

Some people may look glamorous on the outside, but they never knew how ugly they were underneath until they uncovered their facade.

"You're not lacking in men, are you? How many times have you cheated on your husband?" Lachlan sneered.

Rose's face immediately changed and her voice became sharper. "What did you say, you bastard? Say it clearly! Who cheated on my husband? You're talking nonsense!"

Dominic's face also turned very ugly as he pointed at Lachlan fiercely. "Kid, watch your mouth! Apologize to my wife right now or I'll beat the crap out of you! No one can protect you!"

What was the biggest shame for a man?

Being cuckolded!

When Lachlan publicly accused Dominic's wife of cheating on him, it was like slapping Dominic in the face.

The CEO of this pharmaceutical company was furious.

"Ha ha, she spends your money recklessly and even gets sick from playing around outside. And yet, here you are still protecting her?" Lachlan calmly delivered his words with deadly impact like a deep-water bomb exploding.

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes shifted from Miranda and Lachlan to Dominic and his wife who were being talked about by everyone around them.

"What did you say? You're sick! Your whole family is sick!" Rose was becoming hysterical, jumping up and down while cursing at Lachlan.

As she spoke, she even raised her hand to hit him.

Lachlan quickly dodged, saying "Don't touch me, you're too dirty!"

"You better explain yourself clearly, boy! What disease are you talking about?" Dominic's face changed as he asked with an uncertain expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, your wife hasn't been intimate with you for over three months because she has venereal disease that can't be touched until it's cured. If you don't believe me, take a look under her clothes yourself! As for how she got the disease... well I think we all know how that works. Heh heh..." Lachlan said nonchalantly.

After hearing this sharp and vicious remark from Lachlan, Rose looked at him in panic and fearfully wondered how he knew about her illness.

Rose had only married Dominic for his money despite the twenty-year age gap between them. Since their sex life wasn't very harmonious due to Dominic's advanced age and Rose being naturally promiscuous and cheap-minded woman who kept several young men on the side using Dominic's money to support them financially. This was how she contracted the disease in question.

"Rose! What's going on?" "Dominic asked with a calm face.

"Honey, don't listen to his nonsense! I'm not sick, how could I possibly be sick?" Rose shook her head, but her hand instinctively grabbed the hem of her clothes as she desperately tried to conceal something.

Upon seeing her behavior, Dominic's heart skipped a beat.

The next second, he slapped Rose's hand away and lifted up her clothes.

Then, her face alternated between red and livid with anger, and in his fury, he forcefully tore open Rose's blouse.

Everyone showed a look of amazement.

"Bitch! I'll kill you!" Dominic was both surprised and angry, shaking with anger, and swung his arm round to hit.

"Ah!"

"Honey, I was wrong! This illness is from when I went to get beauty treatments! I didn't cheat on you, really!"

Rose was thrown to the ground, spinning around, and she cried out in pain and desperation.

"Don't even try to defend yourself! I'll kill you, you wretched woman!"

How could Dominic still believe it? Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As the onlookers discussed amongst themselves, Lachlan covered Nora's eyes and turned to Miranda with a grin. "Wife, let's go inside! We're not needed here anymore. Let Mr. Moss and his wife enjoy themselves," he chuckled.

Miranda glanced at Dominic and Rose with a hint of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes before nodding lightly at Lachlan. "Mhm."

This guy really didn't disappoint her.

Once they entered the restaurant, Miranda ordered a private room while each person ordered their own dishes - Nora being the one who ordered the most.

It wasn't long before several waiters walked into their room to serve them food. However, as they entered, Lachlan squinted his eyes slightly.

A strange look flashed through his deep gaze for just a moment.

The next second, he smiled at Nora with narrowed eyes. "Baby girl, are you tired from kindergarten today? Why don't you take a nap first before eating?"

Nora looked at her father curiously and shook her little head while staring hungrily at all of the delicious food like an adorable little gluttonous cat licking its lips.

"I amn't tired! But I'm very hungry," she replied innocently.

"Good girl! You must be sleepy..." Lachlan patted her head gently before pressing down on the back of it lightly so that she could rest peacefully for awhile longer.

Nora blinked a few times and fell into a deep sleep.

"Lachlan, what are you doing?" Miranda looked confused.

But at that moment, a cold voice rang out.

"Kid, you noticed? Seems like you have some skills!"

"Aren't you just trying to hide your death from your daughter? What a great dad!"
