Lachlan received the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus from Raphael's hands, which was kept in an incredibly luxurious jade box.
The box looked like a rare treasure, crystal clear and able to seal the spiritual energy of the snow lotus to prevent it from leaking out. In addition, there was a piece of thousand-year-old ice inside the jade box to ensure the freshness of the snow lotus.
Satisfied with his acquisition, Lachlan exchanged contact information with Raphael before driving back to Edoland in the Porsche 918 gifted by another wealthy heir.
Meanwhile, in an Audi Q7 on another side:
Harlow's face remained red and filled with resentment and anger towards Lachlan. Romeo didn't look too pleased either as he quickly drove away from Wintervale Manor as if running away.
"That damn Lachlan! How dare he play me like that!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
"Lachlan, I will make you regret this sooner or later! I will get my revenge for this humiliation!"
Harlow sat in silence at the back seat of the car but suddenly burst into hysterical screams expressing her frustration and embarrassment over being played by Lachlan like a fool today.
She couldn't bring herself to hate Raphael but harbored deep hatred towards Lachlan for what he did today.
She never expected that she would be made a fool by him at today's conference where she had even managed to hook up with some young talents who left their contacts behind before leaving.
But after what happened earlier, Harlow realized all those contacts were gone; those rich heirs had blocked her one after another...
Meanwhile, inside one of Wintervale Manor's rooms:
Altha glared at his granddaughter Penelope with eyes full of disappointment and anger over what happened earlier today.
"Penelope... what you did today..." Altha paused as he struggled between wanting to scold his granddaughter while also not wanting to hurt her feelings too much since she had already suffered enough humiliation.
His precious granddaughter had been through such heavy emotional trauma due to what happened earlier that day!
Penelope was now crying uncontrollably while feeling ashamed and angry about being humiliated so badly by Lachlan.
"Grandpa... I hate this guy so much! You must make him pay!"
"This scumbag... he made me lose face..."
"I can never show my face again!"
"Wahhh...."
Altha snorted coldly while his expression changed rapidly between anger and sadness upon seeing how badly Penelope had been humiliated emotionally; how could he not feel angry when someone dared treat his beloved granddaughter so poorly?
Originally, he had thought of apologizing to Lachlan, but now, he had completely lost the inclination. Not only that, se had developed resentment towards Lachlan!
"Penelope, I will find a way to get back at him for you! Don't worry!"
"Lachlan is too much!!" Altha said coldly.
"Mhmm, Grandpa..." Penelope cried like she had been wronged.
...
That afternoon, Lachlan returned to Edoland and went straight to Lowe's Pharmaceutical.
