Chapter 183 Whose Time is Not Valuable
When Lachlan, Emmanuel, and Miranda came out of the Lowe family mansion, they saw Eliza welcoming in her uncles and her auntie.
“Emmanuel and Miranda? What brings you here?” asked Miranda’s auntie, Jennifer.
Before Emmanuel or Miranda could answer, Eliza snorted coldly. “Don’t you know they brought this little gigolo Lachlan to cure Victoria? Do you think that’s a good intention?”
She continued on to explain how she and her husband had already found Dale for their mother’s treatment. However, Lachlan claimed he could do better than Dale and drove him away. Now if anything happened to Victoria because of Lachlan’s treatment failure… it would be Willis’ fault!
Upon hearing this accusation from Eliza, the three people frowned deeply.
“Dale Hall? The famous medicine practitioner?” questioned one uncle.
“Lachlan thinks he is better than Dale Hall?” another uncle added skeptically.
“Emmanuel! Are you really willing to risk our mother’s life just because of your trust in some stranger like Lachlan?” said one uncle with anger in his voice.
The uncles were not as hostile towards Emmanuel’s family as Eliza was. However when it came down to Victoria’s health issue at stake here; they all expressed their dissatisfaction.
“How could I want our mom dead?! It was Dale himself who said he couldn’t help anymore! And then when we turned to Lachlan for help…” Emmanuel tried explaining himself but got cut off by Eliza again,
“So if Dale can’t do it then only this gigolo can save her huh?!” She sneered before adding, “If anything bad happens now… it will be all on your heads!”
Eliza purposely called out the uncles just so she could put all blame onto them along with those from Emmanuel’s family members who brought in that outsider named “Lachlan”.
“Mr. Lowe, let’s go,” urged Lachlan while pulling Emmanuel towards their car.
Once inside the car though, both Emmanuel and Miranda looked worried about Victoria’s condition after seeing how frail she looked earlier…
“Don’t worry Mr. Lowe, Miranda. Don’t think too much about what happened back there! Just focus on returning back into the Lowe family fold again!” reassured Lachlan while trying his best to console them both. “Who knows, maybe you will even become head of household someday!”
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed, “What did you say? Take over as the next head of the family?”
Lachlan smiled and didn’t say much more to reassure them.
Ultimately, it was up to Victoria herself whether she wanted to live or not!
After sending Emmanuel back home, Miranda suggested that they take their wedding photos today.
Emmanuel and Cara had already helped them book a date for the wedding which was only twenty days away.
It was Sunday and also an auspicious day according to astrology.
During this time, Lachlan and Miranda had to prepare everything they needed for the wedding. Last time they only bought their dresses, ordered their wedding gown, took some photos in it and picked out jewelry.
But now with all the work at the pharmaceutical company keeping her busy all day long, Miranda finally managed to find some time off from work so she could see her grandmother while doing everything else that needed doing together with Lachlan’s help.
Naturally Lachlan didn’t mind at all. So Miranda called up the bridal shop where they booked their gowns from earlier.
On that morning at 10:30 am…
Lachlan and Miranda arrived at Carania Mountain Scenic Area on the west side of downtown where they were supposed to take outdoor shots arranged by “Hold Your Hand” Bridal Shop.
Edoland is surrounded by mountains on three sides!
This mountain range in particular has been developed into a tourist attraction spot where many bridal shops choose as a location for photo shoots.
When Lachlan and Miranda arrived there along with people from “Hold Your Hand” Bridal Shop after communicating with staff members of scenic area management office about fees involved etc., everyone headed towards a lake inside scenic area readying themselves for shooting pictures near its shorelines.
The staff members set up temporary tents using curtains so that it would be easier for both Lachlan and Miranda when changing clothes or applying make-up during breaks between shots.
A moment later… Miranda walked out of one such tent wearing a white backless dress which hugged her curves perfectly accentuating her sexy figure even more than usual.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Her slender waistline curved down into an amazing arc leading down towards those long beautiful legs…
Normally she didn’t wear any makeup except sunscreen but now having applied makeup made her look even more stunningly beautiful leaving everyone including photographer mesmerized by her beauty!
Lachlan couldn’t take his eyes off his goddess CEO who left him stunned speechless while photographers around him were equally amazed too!
Deep inside he felt envious yet proud knowing how lucky he was being able marry someone like her!
“Honey, you look so beautiful!” Lachlan exclaimed sincerely.
Miranda gave him a playful glance and blushed, making her even more stunning.
Next, for the sake of their wedding photoshoot, Lachlan had to hold Miranda or lift her up in various poses. He found it to be an incredibly enjoyable experience and took pleasure in being close to his goddess-like CEO.
However, just as he was fully immersed in the moment and enjoying this intimate time with Miranda, a large group of people rushed over.
Some were clearly bodyguards while others carried cameras and equipment. Many wore traditional clothing and held various props.
“Clear the area! Nine Lives Heaven’s Tragedy crew has taken over this location. Non-essential personnel must leave immediately!”
The manager of the park’s operations department followed behind them and urged Lachlan’s group to leave as well.
The manager of the bridal shop tried to reason with them, “Mr. Martin, we just paid our fee to use this area. You didn’t mention anything about filming here earlier! Can’t we finish our shoot?”
Jamarion Martin frowned, “What are you shooting? Leave now! The celebrity star is on a tight schedule. When can’t you come back? If necessary we’ll refund your money.”
“This… isn’t really fair,” said the bridal shop manager hesitantly after hearing that response. He looked towards Lachlan and Miranda for their opinion on what they should do next.
“What’s not fair? Hurry up and finish shooting! I have Mr. Reid’s luncheon prepared for me at noon,” said a person impatiently from behind them in an affected tone that made her sound like she was trying too hard.
It couldn’t be denied that she was very pretty; with an oval face that exuded classical beauty combined with her elegant long dress style made her look quite ethereal.
But her bossy attitude left people feeling repulsed!
“Just who doesn’t have valuable time?” added another handsome man dressed in traditional clothing arrogantly.
At this point, Lachlan snorted coldly before retorting directly at them, “Who doesn’t value their own time?”
He felt extremely annoyed by these people!
