Chapter 333 The Person to Be Picked Up, Is It Him?
Penelope looked annoyed as she greeted her wealthy friends and prepared to go pick him up. Despite her reluctance, she had to obey her grandfather's orders.
"Who is this person? He's actually making our big beauty go pick him up?"
"Is it some rich young master?"
"Looking at the whole Capital, besides direct descendants of the four major families like Maxwell, who else has such an honor?"
A group of wealthy second-generation kids joked around and asked.
Hearing these words, a handsome young man with a very upscale dress and appearance showed a hint of pride.
His name was Maxwell Chambers, the son of the Chambers family in the Capital and also Penelope's pursuer.
The Chambers family was one of the four major families in the Capital along with Austin family and Britt family. Of course, now it should be said that there were only three major families left because they had just heard yesterday that the Britt family had been wiped out by someone!
"My grandfather said it's a young talent in medicine industry named Willis." Penelope shrugged her shoulders and spoke disdainfully. Altha just told her Lachlan's name earlier but she didn't care about it at all. She only remembered that he seemed to have surname Willis.
Hearing this, everyone thought for a moment before bursting into laughter.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"A Willis? I've never heard of any Willis' family or big shot in the Capital."
"I haven't either!"
"Could it be fraud? Did they fool your grandpa?"
"And he's supposed to be a young talent in medicine industry? Who doesn't know that powerful doctors are all older people? Where can you find any young talents in traditional medicine nowadays?"
A group of wealthy second-generation kids sneered contemptuously.
Penelope looked impatiently at them with cold eyes, "Enough already! It was already annoying enough without you guys making sarcastic remarks here!"
Seeing their school beauty angry made those second-generation kids quiet down temporarily.
At this time, Maxwell smiled, "Penelope, don't get mad! We're just feeling indignant for you! How about I go with you to pick him up then we can see what kind of so-called talented youth he is together?"
As Penelope's pursuer, he naturally didn't want her going alone to meet other strange men.
Penelope hesitated, "Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? What if something happens if you go alone or even worse if they harass or harm you somehow?! You're so beautiful; anything could happen!" Maxwell replied confidently.
"Your grandfather told you to go pick him up, but he didn't say you couldn't bring anyone else," suggested the group of wealthy second-generation heirs.
"Yeah, let's all go together. If that guy is just some low-life trash, we'll kick him to the curb!"
"Right! Haha... let's make him roll away!" The group proposed excitedly.
Penelope nodded. "Okay, let's all go together! I want to see who my grandfather wants me to pick up."
Thinking about Altha's advice for her to be more enthusiastic and communicate more with Lachlan made Penelope feel annoyed and resistant.
Ha! It wasn't so easy for someone to catch her eye! At least it had to be someone like Maxwell from one of the four major families before she would take a second glance at them.
...
Lachlan waited outside the station for almost an hour. Just as he was getting impatient, a row of luxury cars roared up and parked outside the station.
The next moment, a beautiful woman with stunning looks stepped out of a Maserati followed by Maxwell and his companions. They were obviously rich people who drew attention from passersby due their luxurious cars.
Lachlan naturally noticed these people too. He saw the most dazzling beauty among them scan around before taking out her phone. Then Lachlan's new phone rang immediately after that.
He answered it while walking towards this group of handsome men and beautiful women waving his hand at them as he walked along.
"Hello there, I'm here!"
At this moment, he felt somewhat speechless inside.
He thought Altha was doing things too extravagantly? He actually found such a bunch of handsome men and women driving luxury cars just to pick him up?
Wasn't this too ostentatious?
However, Lachlan didn't think much about it; he felt maybe they did it just because they wanted to show him respect or something like that.
At this moment, Penelope looked at Lachlan with a peculiar expression on her face. Soon after, she frowned deeply, her eyes filled with disdain. Maxwell and other rich second-generation individuals, seeing Lachlan waving, also revealed expressions of contempt.
This disdain stemmed from Lachlan's appearance. Almost everything on him, including his clothes, phone, and car keys, had been destroyed during the explosion. Therefore, Lachlan was currently wearing a set of ordinary military uniforms he had changed into yesterday in the military district of the Capital.
Seeing him dressed like this, how could these rich second-generation individuals look up to him? Penelope, in particular, couldn't help but make a dismissive sound, thinking, "Grandpa asked me to pick up someone, and it turns out to be a smelly soldier?"
"Look, that idiot is waving at us?"
"What young talent? He's just a soldier?"
"Maybe he's not even a real soldier. Who knows if he got some fake military uniform and came out here to show off! Haha..."
A group of rich second-generation kids laughed and discussed.
At this moment, Lachlan walked over with an unhappy expression flashing across his face.
His hearing was so sensitive; how could these people's discussions escape his ears? But he didn't say anything and still smiled at Penelope saying, "Miss, are you the one sent by Mr. Pearce to pick me up?"
"Yes, it's me! You're Willis right?" She asked coldly.
Lachlan frowned slightly feeling her attitude which made him somewhat unhappy inside, "I am Willis; you're here to pick me up right?" He nodded indifferently then went on opening the door for the Maserati.
However, just as he opened the car door, Penelope suddenly slammed it shut with a loud noise.
The next second she pointed outside at all those taxis parked in front of the station, "Sorry about that; my car has just been cleaned inside out including its seats so why don't you take a taxi instead?"
Upon hearing this statement, Lachlan's face immediately darkened, "What do you mean? You came here to pick me up only for me to take a taxi?"
At this moment, Maxwell sneered coldly while pushing Lachlan forward, "So what if we let you take a taxi? Can your butt fit into Penelope's luxury car?"
As he spoke, Maxwell pulled out one hundred dollars from his pocket throwing it onto the ground saying, "Here! That should be enough for your cab fare!"
