"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.
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?
