Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 111 Miranda, Don't Push Me

Vincent personally escorted Lachlan to the banquet hall, and went off to do his own thing!

The hall was filled with high society figures, all gathered in groups of two or three, catching up with old friends or making new ones. There were self-serve food and drinks placed around the room, and overall the atmosphere of the business exchange seemed pleasant enough.

After Miranda and her parents entered, they received greetings from several people. Although Emmanuel had been kicked out of the Lowe family, he still had some connections within Edoland's upper society. Plus, Miranda herself was a well-known ice queen CEO who inevitably drew attention wherever she went. She began chatting with various people alongside her parents.

Lachlan wasn't too fond of this kind of occasion; he only attended this exchange for Miranda's sake. He saw a few familiar faces there as well - Monty from yesterday, Betty's father Anton, as well as Dominic who owned a rival pharmaceutical company to Lowe's Pharmaceutical.

However, Lachlan couldn't be bothered to go say hello; he found an inconspicuous corner for himself and sat down to eat alone. After a while though, while Miranda was talking with a pharmaceutical machinery company executive she suddenly received a card from one of the servers! "Ms. Lowe," said the polite server handing it over, "someone asked me to give this card to you." Miranda looked at him suspiciously before taking it from him; after opening it, her expression changed immediately! She hesitated for several seconds before frowning deeply and walking out into the banquet hall.

Lachlan had been keeping an eye on Miranda throughout their time there so when he saw her leave quickly like that he hurried after her.

"What happened?" He asked worriedly upon catching up with her.

Miranda looked at him hesitantly before shaking her head saying, "It's nothing! I just need to use the restroom.”

"I'll go with you," Lachlan said, sensing something was amiss in her expression and feeling concerned.

Upon hearing this, Miranda shot him an annoyed glance and said, "Rogue! I'm going to the restroom! You stay here and behave yourself!"

"Um... alright,” Lachlan nodded sheepishly.

Watching him return to the hall and find a place to sit, Miranda then briskly walked away.

Lachlan’s face showed a hint of doubt, but he followed Miranda secretly while she was unaware and entered the elevator.

After a minute, Miranda walked out of the elevator and arrived at the eighth floor of the Delight Hotel. This floor had several guest rooms, and after making sure no one saw her, she went to room 0811 and knocked on the door.

A handsome young man walked out from inside - it was none other than Frederick, Miranda's ex- boyfriend.

"I knew you would come! Come in," said Frederick with an air of pride as he looked at Miranda. Without expression on her face, Miranda glanced at him before walking into the room!

Frederick peeked outside before closing the door behind him. At that moment Lachlan appeared around the corner with a mix of self-mockery, heartache and anger written all over his face.

"Is this where you were going to restroom?" Lachlan muttered sarcastically to himself as he watched them enter the hotel room together.

He couldn't believe that his wife had been sneaking around behind his back with her ex-boyfriend - they even booked a hotel room together!

It didn't matter if they wanted to rekindle their old flame; Lachlan reminded himself that theirs was just an arranged marriage so he didn't have any right to interfere in her personal life. But why did she have to lie about it? After experiencing Claudia's betrayal earlier in life this situation left Lachlan feeling uneasy inside.

Back in banquet hall, Lachlan sat there pouring himself another glass full of brandy which he gulped down without using any dragon energy techniques for detoxification. He let himself feel numb from alcohol hoping it would make him feel better emotionally.

Meanwhile , in Room 0811...

"What do you want from me, Frederick?" asked Miranda through gritted teeth as she entered into the hotel suite looking angry and resentful.

"Miranda, don't you understand my feelings? I love you, and it hasn't changed all these years! I thought that by immersing myself in my career, I could forget about you. But I was wrong!" "Miranda, please give me another chance. Can we start over?" Frederick said, holding Miranda's hand with deep affection. He felt the softness and tenderness of her hand, which stirred his heart. Seeing Miranda in front of him, even more beautiful and captivating than in their college days, Frederick's emotions swirled.

Miranda's face changed, and she forcefully pulled her hand away from Frederick's grasp. "Let go! Frederick, we're already over! I came here to tell you not to bother me anymore. I'm married, and I'm very happy. My husband is good to me, and I love him. Please, don't appear in my life again.” Upon hearing this, Frederick sneered, "Miranda, don't lie to me! I had someone check it today. Lachlan is just a puppet you found; he's not your real husband. He probably hasn't even touched you, has he?"

"That's nonsense! We have our marriage certificate,” Miranda said coldly.

"So what if you have it? I also found out that Isa from one of the four major families is pursuing you right now,” Frederick continued smugly. "You only found this guy to disgust Isa so he would give up on you."

"Miranda, don't be so hard on yourself," he added with a smirk. "You don't know yet - behind me is the Brooks family in Slocmore! The head of the Brooks family is Lord Town Marshal of Military District - not something Edoland Security District can compare with easily.”

"That person is truly a giant in military affairs who controls countless troops under his command.” "And Mrs. Brooks happens to be my godmother!"

"As long as we are together, there's nothing Isa can do about it!"

"Miranda, we are meant for each other; don't be angry with me anymore? I promise that I will cherish you forever!"

As he spoke these words, Frederick moved towards embracing her. Miranda was beautiful, and he could hardly restrain himself any longer. He had played around with countless women over all these years, but every time his mind wandered, it would always return back to Miranda's stunning beauty. This caused problems every time he was intimate with other women!

After all, having appreciated such peerless beauty once before... who would still find interest in roadside granite?

"Get lost! Frederick, can you please show some respect? I don't care about your background or how impressive your status is now, we have nothing to do with each other anymore!" Miranda pushed Frederick away with force and spoke with resistance and disgust.

As soon as she finished speaking, Frederick finally became angry and ashamed. His expression twisted slightly as he spoke in a hateful tone, "Miranda, don't push me! Don't forget that those embarrassing videos of yours are still in my hands! If you don't comply with me, I'll make them public and ruin the reputation of this proud and arrogant business goddess!"
