SWNOVELS Chapter 130 Why Can'T She Admit Her Mistake?
Chapter 130 Why Can't She Admit Her Mistake?
That evening, after Lachlan and his group left, everyone returned to Miranda's residence at the Imperial View Mansion. Since it was a villa, they didn't have to worry about not having enough rooms even if the whole family stayed there tonight.
After finishing the meal that their nanny had just made for them, Miranda's phone rang. "Who is it?" Cara asked with interest.
"It's Romeo," Miranda answered as she picked up the phone. Her tone was cool and indifferent as she said, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"Where did you all go? Come back immediately!” Romeo's tone was still somewhat forceful.
"Why should we come back? If you have something to say, come to my house and talk!" After saying this, Miranda hung up directly.
"Hello? Hello?"
"F*ck!" Romeo angrily smashed his phone into pieces after being hung up on.
"What did that b*tch say?" Eliza asked curiously.
"She hung up on me and told me to come over! Damn it! She has no respect for her elders!" Romeo gritted his teeth in anger.
"She really is a b*tch! What makes her so great? Dad, what do we do now? Are we really going to beg her at her doorstep?” Harlow asked unwillingly.
"What else can we do? Do you want us all to end up in jail?" Romeo retorted with an iron face. Although begging Miranda felt humiliating and shameful, it was better than going to jail, right? Moreover Victoria had already spoken out.
If they didn't bring Miranda back home, then their entire family would be kicked out of the clan. With Victoria's style of doing things, she would definitely follow through with this threat.
At this moment, Eliza rolled her eyes slyly a few times before suddenly thinking of something, "Honey, why not go beg her anyway? Don't forget that our company shares are controlled by both you and your mom's hands. Even if she comes back just manage our company; isn't that just working for us!"
Hearing these words, Romeo's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but laugh, "You're right! I own 40% of the company shares; letting her manage the company is like benefiting us! Hahaha..."
"Let's go find her!" With these thoughts in mind, Romeo's family felt much better again.
At seven-thirty that night!
The doorbell at Miranda's residence rang, and when she opened it, she found Romeo's family walking inside.
"Emmanuel, Mom has spoken and allowed you to return to the family! Miranda, you can also take back control of the pharmaceutical company. How about it? Happy?" Romeo said as soon as he opened his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Cara cut in sharply, "Romeo, when asking for help, one should have a humble attitude! You make it sound like you're doing us a favor! It's because you don't have Miranda now that you'll face lawsuits, compensation payments and imprisonment. Get that straight!"
"You..."
Romeo's tone faltered as he turned to Emmanuel, "Emmanuel, what do you say? This is a great opportunity to return to the family. Don't tell me you don't understand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cara glared fiercely at her husband.
Emmanuel sighed bitterly, "I'm not getting involved in this.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house from the yard.
Victoria's actions tonight made Emmanuel extremely disheartened.
Although he was emotional by nature, he wasn't foolish.
He couldn't bring himself to deal with his own younger brother and mother harshly, but ignoring them altogether should be fine, right?
Seeing Emmanuel's reaction like this made Romeo curse under his breath before asking with a dark expression on his face, "Sister-in-law, Miranda, what do you mean? Are we really going to break ties with our family?"
Hearing this question caused Lachlan couldn't help but sneer, "Break ties with our family? You and Victoria haven't broken ties yet with my wife before?”
"Do I need your opinion on this matter? You brat shut up!" Harlow pointed at Lachlan furiously. Snap!
Miranda slapped her across her face, "Harlow, listen carefully! If I hear you insult my husband again, I will slap your face every time!"
The aura of the goddess CEO was fully displayed at this moment.
"You... you..." Harlow covered her face while glaring resentfully at Miranda. But since they were still begging them, she didn't dare fight back physically against her anymore.
"Miranda, we are all family members here. Do we really need things get so bad between us? Your grandmother even asked us come here begging for your forgiveness. Can we all just give each other some leeway? I will withdraw from managing the pharmaceutical company and hand it over to you instead. Isn't that great?" Romeo took a deep breath before softening his tone once more
Miranda chuckled, "Ha... now you want to give each other a way out? Uncle, you can leave now! It was grandma who kicked us out of the Lowe family and even stripped us of all our family business shares. If she wants me to go back and manage the company, she has to come in person and tell me herself! I don't believe what you say!”
In other words, Romeo family of three was insignificant.
Begging me? Let Victoria come herself!
Upon hearing this, Romeo's family was stunned for a moment before bursting into angry laughter. "Miranda, you are too presumptuous!"
"You actually let your grandmother beg you? Do we elders still have any weight in your eyes?" "With her status, how could she possibly come in person? It's already good enough that she spoke up and gave you a chance!"
Miranda replied coldly, "If we make mistakes, we must admit them! My grandmother is no exception! Why can't she come over? Why should we bow down to her even if we did nothing wrong? She made a mistake. Can't she just say something nice?"
After speaking, Miranda turned to Lachlan and said calmly, "Honey, please see our guests out.” Lachlan looked at his goddess CEO at this moment with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
This was the decisive strong woman he knew so well!
"Shall we go then?" Lachlan smiled sardonically at Romeo's family as he spoke.
"Why should we leave? This is my niece's home. Who do you think you are as a gigolo?" Romeo protested unwillingly.
Lachlan instantly changed his expression and growled lowly, "Get lost!"
Damn it all - they still had the nerve after being given some face earlier?! A wave of momentum emanated from Lachlan as he enveloped Romeo's trio with it.
Romeo finally shut up when he saw that things were getting serious; their faces turned pale as they left dejectedly.
"Pfft," Cara spat at them once they were gone.
Back inside the house again, Cara looked at her daughter with relief written all over her face, "Miranda, you were amazing just now. You couldn't give them any leeway whatsoever."
Miranda smiled slightly while looking towards Lachlan.
She thought, Lachlan had already set everything up perfectly. If she still couldn't stand firm, it would be too disappointing.
Although previously, a powerful businesswoman, Miranda had been somewhat weak-willed when facing these relatives or Victoria.
As it turned out, constantly giving in only allowed them to take advantage of her even more! She made up her mind that from now on, she would rather be a controversial "black sheep" than a submissive "good granddaughter” who can be easily taken advantage of.
