Romeo and Harlow were both taken aback when they heard the man say that the Britt family was finished.
"Finished? What... what does that mean?" Harlow asked.
"It means just what it sounds like, doesn't it? The Britt family is done for!" The man sneered before adding in a hushed tone, "I heard they've been completely wiped out. Who knows how many people have died? Even the head of the Britt family is gone, and many other members are being hunted down. Now there are only three major families left in Capital."
Upon hearing this news, Romeo and Harlow exchanged a shocked look.
"Why are they finished? Who did this?" Romeo asked while taking a deep breath.
"I don't know. The information has been blocked," replied the man who seemed to not want to say anything more on the matter.
At this moment, both Romeo and Harlow wore expressions of disbelief as they stared at each other with wide eyes.
"Dad... if the Britt family is finished and yet everyone from the Austin family treats Lachlan so kindly... could it be that Lachlan had something to do with it?" Harlow's face twitched as she spoke while looking at Lachlan who had just entered into the conference hall accompanied by Laurence and Zach.
Her expression was one of utter disbelief.
Romeo took another deep breath before replying gravely, "It's possible! Either way, let's stay away from him today. And Harlow…don't go around provoking that guy anymore! Let's go inside now; our mission today is to network, nothing else."
Harlow nodded her head in agreement saying "I understand". She then spun around once before asking her father, "Dad…do you think I'm pretty?"
"Of course you're pretty! You're my daughter after all," replied Romeo with a smile on his face. He added confidently, "You'll definitely be able to charm all those young talents today!"
Both father and daughter carried an unspoken question within them: did Lachlan really have such great abilities? Did he really cause destruction upon the entire Britt family?
...
Once inside of conference hall area, Lachlan found himself a spot where he could eat some free buffet food while waiting for things to get started officially.
Fraser had mentioned earlier that whoever performed best during this exchange would receive a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus plant.
It seemed like there would be some sort of medical competition involved.
Lachlan couldn't help but feel excited about it all!
He was sitting there, and from time to time, many beautiful women and socialites approached him, wanting to get to know him and strike up a conversation.
After all, many people had seen what happened outside the lobby just now.
Many women who thought they were attractive suddenly became interested in Lachlan.
If he could be treated politely by the representatives of both the the Chambers family and the Austin family, he must have some background.
Many people thought that Lachlan was a wealthy heir from some family!
However, Lachlan did not show any special interest in these beautiful women. He responded casually with an indifferent attitude towards them all.
Meanwhile on another side of the room, Penelope joined several rich girls together.
"Penelope, what's this guy named Willis' background? How can even Maxwell's uncle treat him so politely? And Laurence from the Austin family also treats him respectfully."
One rich girl whispered her thoughts aloud.
"I don't know!"
Penelope replied coldly while shaking her head. She stared at where Lachlan was sitting with resentment in her eyes.
