Chapter 425 Put Away Your Calculations
In this world, some people are just so ridiculous and hateful! They are cold-hearted and selfish. seeing family only as a means to an end, but still want to use it to control and manipulate others.
But now, Victoria can only face Lachlan Her plan of using family ties as leverage had fallen through. At this point in time, this son-in-law wouldn't talk about any familial obligations!
Lachlan looked at Victoria's unwilling yet helpless expression and chuckled, "Have you put yourself in your proper place? So tell me then, what do you want?”
Victoria had a grim look on her face as she said, "I hope that you can help the Lowe family once for the sake of your father-in-law and Miranda's faces! The NC Organization has threatened to wipe out the Lowe family. As a son-in-law of the Lowe family, you won't just stand by idly, will you?"
Hearing these words made Lachlan sneer, "What does it have anything to do with me if the Lowe family is wiped out? What does it have anything to do with my father-in-law or my wife? If I remember correctly, they were all kicked out by you from the family. right? As a son-in-law of the Lowes’, I don’t even know where I stand!"
"You..." Victoria's voice trailed off as she spoke coldly, “Emmanuel, Miranda and Mason are all part of the Lowes' no matter what happens; their blood runs through them connecting them back to our lineage! And besides that I can take back my previous decision and let your whole family return."
As soon as those words left her mouth, Lachlan laughed mockingly while looking down upon her.
"Now you come begging us and want us to go back and sacrifice ourselves for the family? Mrs. Lowe, why is everything always about you?" Victoria's face turned red instantly, humiliated by Lachlan's remarks.
"What do you want?" she asked, gripping her cane tightly.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, Owen smiled and advised Lachlan, "Lachlan, Emmanuel, Miranda, and Mason are all sentimental people! Are you really going to let the Lowe family be destroyed? Are you going to let our loved ones be harmed by the NC Organization?"
"Yeah! If you make them stay away, it's because you know they still care about the Lowe family, right?"
"Once the Lowe family is truly destroyed, your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Miranda will definitely blame you!”
"Mason, say something!" George and Jennifer chimed in.
Mason glanced at Lachlan but remained silent, sitting there with his mouth shut.
Mason knew that the only decision-maker present today was his brother-in-law. representing their whole family.
"Heh, you call yourselves family? Where were you all when my father-in-law and his family were kicked out of the family?”
"Where were you all when my wife was forced to marry Isa?”
"And on the day of my wedding with Miranda, where were you all?"
Lachlan asked each question with a firm and resounding voice.
The next second, he sneered and said expressionlessly, "So, let's talk business when it comes to business. Don't try to bring emotions inte it.” At this moment, Cara, who was hiding in the guest room, listening through the crack in the door, clenched her fist upon hearing Lachlan’s words. "Good! Well said!" Cara felt that Lachlan had spoken her mind
At this moment, Lachlan changed his tone and looked at Victoria, saying. "Mrs. Lowe, if you want me to spare your life and even save the Lowe family, it's not impossible! But I have one condition.”
"What do you want?" Victoria asked through gritted teeth.
"It's simple. Give the pasition of the head of the Lowe family to my father-in-law, Emmanuel! You're old, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and outdated. You only care about holding onto your power and don't seek any development. It’s time for you to step down and make way!” Lachlan said bluntly.
Upon hearing Lachlan's evaluation, Victoria's face turned dark, trembling with anger. But Owen and the others glanced at their mother, their expressions somewhat subtle.
Victoria had been domineering in the family for a lifetime, but weren't they also suffering? Unfortunately, Victoria contralled the majority of the shares in all of the Lowe family's industries. As long as she didn't voluntarily relinquish her power, everyone had to act according to her wishes.
At this moment, Victoria's eyes flickered. Suppressing her anger, she quickly weighed her thoughts. After a moment of consideration, she ~ nodded andl said, "Fine, I agree! ~ What'sthe harm in giving up the. positisn of the head of the Lowe faraily for the sake of the entire family? I will convene a family meeting as soon as possible and announce Emmanuel as the new head of the family in front of everyone. Is that enough?" Content belongs to
She asked, each word filled with reluctance and a sense of resignation.
However, Lachlan's face was filled with mockery as he shook his head and said, "No, it's not enough! What I want is not justan empty itle of the head of thefamily, but real power! . Mrs. Lowesdon't pretend to be SOx noble and act like it's for the sake’of the entire Lowe family. You're-only doing it to save yourself! D Drop your twiSted thoughts; don't think you can fool me! In simple terms; transfer all the shares of the Lowe family's industries in your possession to my father-in-law. Then, I will spare your ife and help you and the Lowe farnily deal with the NC Organization troubles. Make it clear, all the shares in your hands!"
Lachlan’s tone was dominant and authoritative, leaving no room for doubt.
As his words fell, Victoria's expression completely changed. Lachlan guessed right: this old woman was still playing games.
Announcing Emmanuel as the new head of the family in public? Hah, what good would that do? As long as Victoria held the majority of the shares in the Lowe family's industries, she would still have the real power and be the one who truly controlled the family.
Emmanuel would only be a nominal puppet.
“Lachlan, don't push it too far!" Victoria angrily retorted, as if her limits had been touched
"Sorry, I'm not interested in the Lowe family's industries. I'm only helping my father-in-law get what he deserves."
"You can refuse, but be prepared to die!” Lachlan said expressionlessly.
"You..."
Upon hearing this, Victoria's anger seemed to dissipate, as if her boundaries had been violated. Undoubtedly, she was afraid of death
Lachlan’s strong attitude left her unsure how to respond
The next secand, Victoria turned to Mason and said, "Mason, is this what you athwant? Lachlan says it — nicely, thathe wants your dad to be the head of the family and contre! the Lowe family's industries. But can Clearly see that he wants to take over the Lowe family! Are-you willing to be his puppet?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Upon hearing this, Mason looked at his grandmother and sneered, "At least my brother-in-law won't betray us!”
