Emmanuel, Cara, and Mason all looked at Harlow with anger in their eyes. The way she spoke was just too disrespectful! Mocking Lachlan was one thing, but insulting Miranda as well?
"What did you say?" Lachlan asked each word carefully.
"What's wrong? Is it not true? Lachlan, you're a man too. You let your wife sleep with someone else just to get things done!" Harlow continued to rant without any filter.
Slap!
Before she could finish her sentence, a crisp sound of a slap echoed through the room. Cara's expression was cold and her eyes were filled with anger. Miranda was her daughter and Harlow had insulted her publicly - enough was enough.
Emmanuel glared at his niece with a dark expression before looking back at his wife without saying anything.
"How dare you hit me? What gives you the right to hit me? Does Miranda have the guts to do what she wants?" Harlow screamed while covering her face.
"Cara, you dare to hit my daughter? I'll...," Romeo said angrily, his face turning red as he moved towards his sister-in-law.
But before he could finish his sentence, Romeo stumbled backwards after receiving a blow from Lachlan.
"You scoundrel! How dare you hit my husband? You, a freeloading son-in-law, even dare to hit your elder!"
Eliza was also about to join in the fight but backed off when she saw what happened. She then pointed at Lachlan and yelled at him furiously.
The rest of the Lowe family watched this scene with confusion and anger. They never expected things to escalate into a physical altercation among themselves. However, they were particularly incensed that Lachlan had slapped Romeo in the face.
But when they remembered how Lachlan had kicked Black King Kong to death not too long ago, they hesitated to confront him directly.
"Respect elder? Without my wife here today, who are you people anyway?" Lachlan sneered contemptuously. "You think you're elders?"
Romeo's face was swollen on one side as he glared at Lachlan with bitter resentment.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! It's all rebellion!" Victoria shouted angrily, her eyes glaring at Lachlan like a hawk. "You, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Lachlan chuckled. Was he really that arrogant?
The next second, Victoria looked coldly at Miranda and pointed to Lachlan. "Miranda, I want you to completely sever ties with him and marry Mr. Austin immediately."
Upon hearing this, a look of displeasure appeared on Miranda's pretty face. "Grandma, yesterday you promised that if the account was unfrozen today, you wouldn't force me anymore!"
"Miranda!" Victoria coldly rebuked her. "If you continue to resist me like this, then you are no longer part of the Lowe family! I will expel you from the family and you'll have no more ties with our clan so as not to harm us all!"
As she spoke these words, tears welled up in the beautiful CEO's eyes.
Looking at her grandmother now filled Miranda with disappointment and heartache.
She laughed bitterly, "Did I harm the Lowe family? Ha ha..."
"If it wasn't for you," Harlow gritted her teeth accusingly, "Mr. Austin would not have punished our family."
"That's right! Expel her from our clan already!"
"It should have been done long ago!"
"...".
