Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 127 Sonny Fatty is Here

With the persuasion of Lachlan and Miranda, Cara sat at a table on the outermost edge of the hall, feeling humiliated and surrounded by the mocking and gloating eyes of even the Lowe family's distant relatives, servants, bodyguards, and caretakers.

Even Emmanuel’s face was ashen with anger. When he looked towards Victoria in the central area, he saw only deep pain and resentment.

Emmanuel secretly sneered to himself: What kind of old lady is giving everyone a way out? What kind of "we're all family" nonsense is this? These were all just his own wishful thinking!

His wife and daughter were right...

“Lachlan, if you don't help me regain my dignity today, then forget about your wedding with Miranda! I will never accept you as my son-in-law!" After sitting down, Cara said tearfully with anger. "Don't worry! And honey, don't be upset either. I promise that soon enough your Grandma and Uncle will come begging for you two back. Just make sure not to soften up when they do!" Lachlan smiled reassuringly.

Upon hearing this remark from Lachlan, Cara gritted her teeth fiercely while pounding on the table, "Soften up? If they really come begging for me back, then even if they kneel on their knees for three days straight, I won't forgive them! How could I ever soften up?"

The goddess CEO also had an icy expression, "Lachlan, things have already reached this point. I've lost any illusions about grandma so how could I possibly soften up? What exactly are you getting out of this deal?"

Lachlan smiled mysteriously as he leaned in close to whisper into her ear, "I told you before that Lowe's Pharmaceutical would be yours! Remember to make sure..."

Feeling Lachlan’s hot breath blowing against her ear made Miranda feel ticklish; her pretty face flushed red while her earlobes became moist.

At that moment, the elderly matriarch stood up, pressed her hand down for silence, and the entire room hushed.

With the assistance of Romeo's family, she walked to the central stage that had been prepared in advance in the hall.

She surveyed the room and then looked towards Emmanuel’s family, holding a microphone as she began, "Today, we are here to celebrate my second son, Romeo's success! Congratulations on securing an order for Lowe's Pharmaceutical that has surpassed 500 million! This is unprecedented for our Lowe family's many industries.

"I am grateful that I entrusted Romeo with the pharmaceutical company rather than leaving it to certain self-serving and self-righteous juniors. In their hands, the company could never have achieved such remarkable success! Please join me in welcoming Romeo to say a few words to everyone..."

Applause erupted throughout the room, whether genuine or not.

Cara sat there, fuming.

Miranda, Emmanuel, and Mason also looked indignant. It was Miranda and Lachlan who deserved credit for Lowe's Pharmaceutical receiving so many orders. However, in the old lady's mouth, it had all become Romeo's achievement while she subtly mocked Miranda.

Next up was Romeo who confidently took the stage and began to speak about how he secured those orders by making big distributors comply with contract changes. He was clearly proud of himself! Harlow and Eliza were beside themselves with excitement too; they felt like they were on top of the world as a family.

Finally, Romeo added fuel to fire by talking about how they resolved the crisis when raw materials for drugs were cut off from their supplier. Lachlan and Miranda had been "vile" obstacles in his way according to him.

"Hmph! That Willis guy somehow got Albie on his side trying to cut off our supply chain for no good reason,” he said indignantly. "The funniest part is that even after we managed to get our hands on those materials from Mr. Diaz himself; that little punk still had audacity enough left in him to claim there was something wrong with them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned towards Emmanuel's family with looks of scornful mockery mixed with resentment, because even if many people didn't own shares in Lowe's Pharmaceutical Company at year-end, they would still receive dividends which were directly proportional to its profits.

If what Romeo said was true, then it would undoubtedly hurt their interests too since Miranda and Lachlan played foul play behind their backs.

"They deserve being kicked out of our family!"

"Sitting there doing nothing but taking advantage should be enough reason for them all leave!" Seeing this scene unfold before her eyes made Victoria smirked coldly feeling vindicated while Romeo's family laughed heartily at what happened.

Emmanuel sat there looking grim-faced as ever.

Cara was shaking with anger, her eyes red. "Let's go! What are we still doing here?"

"Mom..." Miranda tried to interject.

"Let's go!" Cara cut her off harshly.

She couldn't take it anymore. She felt like staying here with her family was just an invitation for the old lady and Romeo to humiliate them further. And she felt deeply disappointed and dissatisfied with Lachlan.

But then, something unexpected happened.

Crash!

The glass door of the top floor hall shattered into pieces as a fat figure stormed in with a group of people behind him, all looking fierce and angry.

"Romeo, you better have an explanation for me!" It was Sonny, the local agent from Edoland who pointed his finger at Romeo on stage and shouted angrily at him.

He brought along several cardboard boxes that were thrown roughly onto the ground. The drugs inside spilled out like trash scattered everywhere on the floor!

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Even Cara forgot about leaving as she stood there in shock alongside everyone else.

Romeo's face turned dark as he angrily confronted Sonny, "What do you mean by this?"

Victoria also had a furious expression on her face, "Sonny, today is our Lowe family celebration banquet. What are you doing?"

"What do I mean? The goods that Lowe's Pharmaceutical gave me had serious quality issues which almost got me sued!" Sonny retorted furiously, "Celebration banquet? Of course you would celebrate after cheating so much money using inferior drugs!"

"I'm telling you now if I don't get an explanation from you guys today, then be prepared to meet me in court!"

Sonny looked indignant as he accused them loudly.

His words caused chaos throughout the room; even Romeo's family and Victoria were left speechless for a moment.

Cara stood up but hesitated before sitting back down again; it seemed like things might be taking a turn...
