Chapter 334 What Does This Represent?
A group of rich second-generation kids looked at Lachlan with disdain and mockery in their eyes.
"Haha, look at this poor guy. He thinks he can ride in our school's beauty queen's car?"
"The floor mats in the car are cleaner than his face!"
"If he dirties it, he won't be able to afford to pay for it!"
"A hundred bucks for a taxi is enough. Why doesn't he just pick it up? Haha..."
They were teasing him like a fool, pointing at the bills on the ground.
These rich second-generation kids usually hung out with Maxwell. If Maxwell wanted to bully Lachlan, they naturally followed suit and humiliated him.
This guy didn't look like anyone important anyway. He dressed poorly and looked like a country bumpkin. And how could someone not even have a car?
The people these rich second-generation kids usually associated with were all wealthy and powerful individuals, so they thought they had good judgment when it came to people.
So they didn't take Lachlan seriously at all.
Lachlan's face was still!
He thought that this grand reception was specially arranged by Altha himself but now realized that he had been mistaken.
The person who came to pick him up wouldn't even let him ride in their car?
"Mr. Willis, my grandfather sent me here to pick you up but never said how I should do it."
"I can take you where you need to go; just follow us in a taxi."
Penelope sneered arrogantly and ignored Lachlan completely.
"Fine then, lead the way while driving your own car," said Lachlan as he took a deep breath and decided not to stoop down to these rich second-generation kids' level of immaturity.
His goal was this medical exchange conference, specifically finding that Thousand-Year Snow Lotus plant!
Having experienced the ups and downs, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and even several life-and-death struggles, Lachlan couldn't be bothered to get angry with these people.
In his eyes, these rich second-generation individuals were not much different from a group of rebellious kids. Their behavior, to Lachlan, was nothing short of childish.
Bending down, he picked up the hundred-dollar bill. In the next moment, with a flick of his hand, it flew back into Maxwell's pocket. Money might be dirty, but it was also sacred, and at the very least, it deserved some basic respect.
Seeing this move, Penelope and the other rich second-generation individuals were momentarily stunned, showing a hint of surprise. However, immediately after, they burst into mocking laughter.
"What are you doing? Practicing circus tricks?"
"You probably learned that during your military training right?"
"You're insane dude!"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Penelope rolled her eyes muttering "boring" before hopping onto her Maserati.
Maxwell and other rich second-generation heirs got into their cars one by one. They all had almost one car each, but not a single seat was offered to Lachlan because they thought he wasn't worthy.
"Sir, follow that Maserati," Lachlan said to the taxi driver.
At 10:30 in the morning, an Audi Q7 with Edoland license plates entered Wintervale Manor resort. Romeo and Harlow got out of the car after parking.
Altha had been promoting this medical exchange conference for some time now. Not only did people from the Capital know about it, but also many people from out of town who applied through Kreanford Medical Association were approved by Altha.
Romeo and Harlow came today after hearing about it. Although Romeo lost control of the Lowe's family industry, he made a lot of money over the years and was preparing to start a new pharmaceutical company. He already completed all necessary procedures and built his factory.
After his company started operating, he planned on focusing on the Lowe's Pharmaceutical's initial four drugs. During his time controlling the Lowe's Pharmaceutical before, he figured out how to make "Love Light" and other four drugs' formulas inside-out.
He planned on adding some other non-effecting ingredients into each drug type they produced so that they could sell them under their own brand name without any issues with Miranda Pharmaceuticals taking over their market share.
"Dad, do I look pretty today?" Harlow asked Romeo while getting off the car.
Today, she was dressed flamboyantly, alluring and charming. Her face adorned with makeup appeared exceptionally delicate and beautiful.
In reality, while Harlow might not match up to Miranda, she was still a rare beauty. If people set aside considerations of her character, this makeup and attire did add a touch of elegance to her appearance.
"My daughter is always beautiful! Haha..." Romeo praised her excitedly while looking at how gorgeous she looked today!
"You'll definitely charm everyone at this conference today! If any wealthy heir from the Capital takes interest in you, then we'll have our chance!"
Harlow replied confidently, "Dad, don't worry! I will definitely showcase my charm today!"
As they were talking, a line of luxury cars, led by a Maserati, parked not far away. However, behind these luxury cars, an inconspicuous green taxi was also following, looking somewhat out of place.
"Ha... no way? Someone actually took a cab to this high-end event?" Harlow couldn't help but laugh when she saw the taxi.
Romeo chuckled as well. "I heard that the qualifications for this exchange meeting were quite loose, so some people from the lower class took advantage of it and got in. Haha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, both father and daughter froze and widened their eyes.
"Lachlan?"
Harlow was surprised to see someone getting out of the taxi.
Romeo rubbed his eyes, thinking he must be mistaken!
When they confirmed that it was indeed Lachlan, they exchanged glances. Harlow showed a hint of ridicule on her face.
"This guy is really making a fool of himself by taking a cab to such an occasion. It's hilarious!"
However, Romeo's expression became serious.
He pulled Harlow aside and said in a low voice, "Let's go inside quickly. There's no need to provoke him."
"What's wrong with you dad? Why are you panicking?"
"And why did this guy show up here? Is he not ashamed to take a cab here?"
Harlow was taken aback by her father's reaction; she had even thought about humiliating Lachlan earlier on.
But Romeo spoke sternly, "You silly girl! Don't you remember the rumors circulating about Lachlan wanting to attack both the Austin family and the Britt family in Edoland before coming here?"
Harlow's face changed when she heard him mention it, "Dad, are you talking about those rumors saying Lachlan wants revenge?"
Romeo nodded, "I heard that Lachlan came to the Capital yesterday but is still alive today. What does that mean?"
"Does it mean neither the Austin family nor the Britt family could do anything against him?" Harlow asked incredulously before adding sarcastically, "Maybe Lachlan just made empty threats by coming here without daring to provoke either family."
They had just arrived from Edoland today; they didn't know what happened with the Britt family yet so all they could do now was speculate.
