Daddy the Miracle Medic novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Am I Bullying?

Lachlan was speechless and amused at the same time!

Even if he had money and power, couldn't he dress more casually? Couldn't he take a train from the station? Was taking a taxi such an insult? Did he have to drive a luxury car everywhere he went? If one hundred dollars fell on the ground, couldn't it be picked up? Heh, what kind of values and morals were these?

In Lachlan's mind, Penelope was truly shallow. It was difficult to connect with someone like her. Even if she was beautiful, she only had an attractive exterior...

Lachlan didn't bother explaining himself to her. If he told her about his experience surviving an explosion that destroyed his clothes and car but left him alive, she would probably think that he was bragging.

"You..." Penelope pointed at Lachlan with anger flushing her face.

She could feel his disdain towards her. She was Jieyson University's beauty queen; many wealthy men surrounded and adored her. When had anyone treated her like this before?

"What about me?" Lachlan said dismissively. "Miss Pearce, you should go do whatever it is you need to do instead of bothering me."

"Unless you want another slap!" Lachlan threatened as he waved his hand in front of Penelope's face.

Penelope heard this threat and saw Lachlan's action; instinctively she took a step back. Her face turned red with embarrassment as tears welled up in her eyes.

She did not doubt that this uncivilized man would hit her again!

"Just wait for me! I'll remember this!" Penelope gritted through clenched teeth while trying to show how much contempt she held for him.

But in reality, all she felt now after confronting him again was humiliation, self-inflicted humiliation!

After throwing down a harsh remark, Penelope was about to turn around and leave. As she turned, she almost collided with someone. Seeing this person, Penelope couldn't hold back her grievances, and tears started rolling down. For those unaware, it would seem like she had suffered a great deal of humiliation.

"Penelope, what's wrong?" Altha, upon seeing her granddaughter like this, asked with a stern expression.

"Grandpa..."

Penelope choked out a word, turned to glance at Lachlan, her expression full of resentment. Seeing this, Altha glared at Lachlan.

"Young man, do you find it amusing? Why do you keep bullying my granddaughter?"

Lachlan was taken aback and shook his head speechlessly. "I didn't," he replied.

"What? Weren't you just saying you were going to hit me?" Penelope tearfully questioned.

Lachlan furrowed his brows, unsure of how to explain himself for a moment. The truth was, he couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

"Fine, I misspoke. Can we move on now?" Lachlan waved his hand, eager to get rid of Penelope.

At this point, Altha snorted heavily. "Mr. Willis, don't think that I let you stay here because I'm afraid of you. I just didn't want to disrupt the normal proceedings of this exchange meeting."

"Just because Mr. Chambers and Mr. Austin were polite to you doesn't mean I have to cater to your whims! With my medical skills and connections in Kreanford, even throughout the country, if you push too far, I guarantee there will be consequences!"

Upon hearing this statement, Lachlan's expression turned cold as anger flashed in his eyes.
