"Just look at yourself, what are you?!" Harlow jumped out again and pointed at Lachlan with disdain.
"Willis, who do you think you are to criticize others?"
"That's right. If it weren't for you, Mr. Austin would not have been really angry!"
"If you had just obediently died, our family wouldn't have been punished by Mr. Austin!"
"Worse yet, like before when Mr. Austin still had patience with Miranda! It's all because of this jinx that our family is in trouble!"
Even Romeo and his wife as well as Miranda's other uncles and aunts were all cursing at Lachlan. They even blamed him for everything. In their mouths, it was as if it was wrong that Isa didn't kill Lachlan.
Lachlan sneered and looked at Victoria and the rest of the Lowe family with an expression of contempt.
"A bunch of trash! You're all incompetent cowards who only know how to blame others but don't dare fight against Isa!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the Lowe family became furious. They felt like they were being looked down upon by this nobody.
"You bastard! Do you even know how powerful the Austin family is?"
"What kind of fight can we put up? He's just a low-level loser who doesn't understand anything about power struggles!"
"Do you have what it takes to unfreeze the company's account?"
"You're just a useless person who talks big but can't do anything!"
Lachlan chuckled, "Alright, so all I have to do is unfreeze the company account? Leave it to me! If I can do it, will you stop pressuring my wife?"
Everyone was stunned by his words.
The next second, the Lowe family burst into laughter.
"Just you? This time Mr. Austin used his family's connections and network. Can you shake their connections and network? What a joke!" Romeo sneered.
Others also mocked Lachlan for talking big without any substance.
"Fine then, if you can unfreeze the account within a week, I won't pressure Miranda anymore! Otherwise, she'll marry Isa and you should stay as far away as possible," Victoria said dismissively.
Lachlan replied confidently,"Not in a week - tomorrow! Tomorrow I will unfreeze the account!"
"Hah... did I hear that right? You think you're almighty now? If you can really do it tomorrow then from now on we'll call you brother-in-law or even dad! But if not... you should kneel down and learn how to bark like a dog because what you say is nothing more than hot air," said Harlow aggressively.
How many times had Harlow lost face because of Lachlan? After the incident at the gambling den last night, she hated him even more. She saw it as a matter of Isa's relationship, how could Lachlan possibly shake it?
"Tomorrow? This kid talks big all day long and hyped himself up. Does he think he can really do it?"
"Alright, let's come tomorrow and watch him embarrass himself!"
"Haha, we'll appreciate how he learns to bark like a dog!"
Others joined in on mocking Lachlan; no one believed that he could actually accomplish anything.
Emmanuel and Cara remained silent but exchanged disappointed glances. They had slightly changed their opinion of Lachlan before but now they thought this young man was naive and shallow.
"Honey, do you believe in me?" Despite what others said about him, Lachlan turned to look at Miranda.
He did all this for her; if she didn't believe in him either, then his heart would truly be cold.
