Chapter 465 Nora, It'S Up To You Now
Chapter 465 Nora, It's Up to You Now
Lachlan saw the grandfather and granddaughter. Especially with Penelope, who had a condescending and arrogant attitude, a hint of disdain and annoyance flashed across his expression. He didn't want to engage with them and intended to walk away with Nora directly.
However, Penelope didn't want to let it go. A mocking smile appeared on her face.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Willis?" she said. "Are you going to take a taxi again later? Don't you have any friends to pick you up in Oswesh? How are you managing?" Lachlan remained expressionless and replied, "Does it concern you?"
Penelope sneered, "I don't understand why you always look so shabby wherever you go. Don't you feel embarrassed to keep taking taxis everywhere, especially with a child?" Lachlan let out a cold laugh. "No need," he said. He couldn't be bothered to talk to this woman.
Her values were twisted. In her eyes, taking a taxi was embarrassing? Besides, Lachlan didn't believe Penelope was being genuinely "kind." He wondered what she was calculating.
At that moment, Altha glanced at his granddaughter and had a thought. He showed what seemed like a warm smile to Lachlan.
"Yes, Mr. Willis, why not join us in our car later? The taxis near the airport are quite shady. Since you're unfamiliar with the place, you might get ripped off. It's also not safe for you and your child. Last time, regardless of what happened, you helped me treat Mr. Macdonald, and without that, I would have been in trouble. Although we had some unpleasantness at the time, I am grateful to you in hindsight. This time, let us show our gratitude?"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan raised an eyebrow and gave a casual chuckle. Could he not sense Altha's insincerity? Despite the smile, Lachlan could see the deep-seated resentment in his eyes.
Feeling grateful upon reflection? Was that really possible? If it were, would Penelope react like this upon seeing him again? Lachlan became even more certain that this grandfather and granddaughter had ulterior motives.
With that in mind, he didn't even consider engaging with them and attempted to bypass them and leave directly.
"Daddy, I don't like this auntie! She's mean and weird! Hmph!" Nora pouted and looked at Penelope, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing Nora's words, Penelope's face immediately changed. She glared at Nora with anger.
In the next moment, she took a few quick steps and stood in front of Lachlan and his daughter.
"Stop!" she exclaimed. "What did this little brat say?"
Penelope pointed at Nora, gritting her teeth and saying, "I kindly offered to give you a ride, and this little brat dares to insult me? Lachlan, do you think this is still the Capital? Do you believe that I can have someone kill you here in Oswesh?"
"Oh? You're quite something here?" Lachlan asked with a cold smile.
"You..." Penelope pointed at Lachlan. The once pretty face now had a sinister expression.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Mr. Pearce, Penelope, what's going on?" As soon as the words fell, a short and sturdy young man walked over with a group of followers.
This young man wore sunglasses and a checkered shirt and shorts. Unlike regular second-generation individuals, he had a fierce appearance, almost as if he had "I'm with the underworld" written on his face. The several individuals accompanying him exuded a powerful aura, clearly not your average thugs.
Especially the burly man beside him, who resembled a tower, emitted an unmatched sense of oppression. His skin had a bronze glow, giving off a metallic texture.
"Landry," Altha greeted the young man with a smile and a nod. When Penelope saw him, her eyes instantly lit up, revealing a coquettish smile. "Landry, you finally came! You have to take my side and deal with the person who insulted me and my grandpa."
Landry Ewing, also known as the Grey Prince, raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Lachlan. His gaze carried a menacing light. "Is it him?"
Lachlan's gaze briefly landed on the

At this moment, Penelope dropped her pretense as soon as Landry arrived with his men. She revealed her deep resentment and hatred toward Lachlan. "Landry, it's him! Not only did he humiliate me, but he also dared to glare and curse at me with his daughter! You have to help me get justice!"

Although he wasn't as overt as
Penelope, he held a fair amount of hatred for Lachlan in his heart.
Landry stared at Lachlan for a few moments, then ordered imperiously, "Kneel down and apologize to Penelope! Then let this little thing slap herself twice, and I might spare your lives!"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's face
darkened, and a surge of anger welled up within him. This checkered shirted young man was so domineering! Without any reason or justification, he expected Lachlan to kneel down and apologize just because Penelope said so? What angered Lachlan the most was that he wouldn't even spare Nora. How audacious!
"Get lost! Stop pushing your luck!" Lachlan angrily retorted.
As the words fell, Landry paused for a moment, and his expression instantly turned ferocious. In Oswesh, someone dared to speak to him in such a manner?NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I can make it so you and your daughter can't leave Oswesh!" Landry said fiercely.
"Do you believe that if you don't get lost, I can make it so you can't leave the airport?" Lachlan's expression darkened, and he asked in a confrontational tone.
"Landry, stop wasting time with him! Teach him a lesson! In front of his daughter, break both his legs and make him kneel and apologize to me!" Penelope gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment and viciousness. Her once beautiful and delicate face appeared twisted at that moment.
"Go, do as Penelope said!" Landry nodded and ordered his men beside him. With a command, his group of followers immediately surrounded Lachlan.
These people were all skilled fighters, and their strength should not be underestimated. However, Lachlan disdainfully shook his head and turned to Nora with a smile. "Nora, let me see the progress you've made during this time. How about you take care of these bad guys?"
