Chapter 92 Exiled from the Family
Emmanuel, Cara, and Mason all looked at Harlow with anger in their eyes. The way she spoke was just too disrespectful! Mocking Lachlan was one thing, but insulting Miranda as well?
“What did you say?” Lachlan asked each word carefully.
“What’s wrong? Is it not true? Lachlan, you’re a man too. You let your wife sleep with someone else just to get things done!” Harlow continued to rant without any filter.
Slap!
Before she could finish her sentence, a crisp sound of a slap echoed through the room. Cara’s expression was cold and her eyes were filled with anger. Miranda was her daughter and Harlow had insulted her publicly – enough was enough.
Emmanuel glared at his niece with a dark expression before looking back at his wife without saying anything.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“How dare you hit me? What gives you the right to hit me? Does Miranda have the guts to do what she wants?” Harlow screamed while covering her face.
“Cara, you dare to hit my daughter? I’ll…,” Romeo said angrily, his face turning red as he moved towards his sister-in-law.
But before he could finish his sentence, Romeo stumbled backwards after receiving a blow from Lachlan.
“You scoundrel! How dare you hit my husband? You, a freeloading son-in-law, even dare to hit your elder!”
Eliza was also about to join in the fight but backed off when she saw what happened. She then pointed at Lachlan and yelled at him furiously.
The rest of the Lowe family watched this scene with confusion and anger. They never expected things to escalate into a physical altercation among themselves. However, they were particularly incensed that Lachlan had slapped Romeo in the face.
But when they remembered how Lachlan had kicked Black King Kong to death not too long ago, they hesitated to confront him directly.
“Respect elder? Without my wife here today, who are you people anyway?” Lachlan sneered contemptuously. “You think you’re elders?”
Romeo’s face was swollen on one side as he glared at Lachlan with bitter resentment.
“Rebellion! Rebellion! It’s all rebellion!” Victoria shouted angrily, her eyes glaring at Lachlan like a hawk. “You, how dare you be so arrogant!”
Lachlan chuckled. Was he really that arrogant?
The next second, Victoria looked coldly at Miranda and pointed to Lachlan. “Miranda, I want you to completely sever ties with him and marry Mr. Austin immediately.”
Upon hearing this, a look of displeasure appeared on Miranda’s pretty face. “Grandma, yesterday you promised that if the account was unfrozen today, you wouldn’t force me anymore!”
“Miranda!” Victoria coldly rebuked her. “If you continue to resist me like this, then you are no longer part of the Lowe family! I will expel you from the family and you’ll have no more ties with our clan so as not to harm us all!”
As she spoke these words, tears welled up in the beautiful CEO’s eyes.
Looking at her grandmother now filled Miranda with disappointment and heartache.
She laughed bitterly, “Did I harm the Lowe family? Ha ha…”
“If it wasn’t for you,” Harlow gritted her teeth accusingly, “Mr. Austin would not have punished our family.”
“That’s right! Expel her from our clan already!”
“It should have been done long ago!”
“…”.
Many people had always been jealous of Miranda in the Lowe family and took every opportunity to undermine her.
“Victoria, isn’t that going too far? Miranda fulfilled the family’s agreement, unfroze the company account, and yet instead of protecting her, you want to kick her out of the family? Why?” Cara asked angrily with an unpleasant expression on her face.
“Why? Because I am the head of this family! If you don’t want to stay in this house, you can also be expelled from the family too!” Victoria replied bluntly to her eldest daughter-in-law.
Hearing this made Cara’s lips tremble with anger. Emmanuel’s face was also extremely ugly, “Mom, are you going to expel me from the family too?”
Ha-ha, his wife and daughter were both kicked out of the Lowe family?
What was going on here?
“You useless thing! You can’t even manage your own wife and daughter! If you can’t persuade Miranda to marry Mr. Austin then get lost!” Victoria said coldly.
“In that case, I won’t stay in this family either! Grandma, you’re too biased!” Mason’s face turned red with anger as he spoke.
Victoria looked at her grandson with a cold expression on her face and said mercilessly, “What? You little brat dare threaten me too? Fine! Get lost! All of you get lost! If we could raise one Mr. Lowe in our family then we can raise another one!”
“Don’t forget, most of the experts under your command were sent by the family! Do you really think you’ve made it on your own? Get out of here, all of you!” The uncompromising old lady spoke and left in anger with a flick of her sleeve.
“Let’s go.”
“Romeo, come take over Lowe’s Pharmaceutical tomorrow. Emmanuel, your entire family needs to resign from all family-owned enterprises today.”
“And transfer all shares back to me as soon as possible. Don’t let us take legal action against you,” she continued.
With a smile on his face, Romeo added, “Great job mom!”
Eliza and Harlow looked at Miranda’s family with pride, “You got kicked out of the family! What are you now? Nothing! Enjoy being homeless!”
The rest of the Lowe family members also left one after another. Some gloated while others shook their heads in disappointment.
No one expected things to turn out this way today…
“Sorry dad, mom and Mason…”
After everyone else had left, Miranda took a deep breath and turned to her parents and brother with tears in her eyes.
Emmanuel looked at his daughter, then glanced at Lachlan. He opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately remained silent. With a sigh and shake of his head, he turned and walked away.
“Don’t blame yourself, Miranda,” Cara said to Miranda. “It’s not your fault. It’s our parents’ fault for not protecting their own daughter.”
Cara looked over at Lachlan with a complicated expression on her face. “I hope someone will be there for you in the future when you need it most.”
She smiled slightly before adding, “By the way, that slap you gave Romeo was pretty good! I’ve been wanting to do that myself for ages!”
With those words spoken, Cara hurried after her husband.
Mason hesitated briefly before shrugging at his sister and Lachlan then went after their parents.
At this moment, it seemed like all the strength had drained from Miranda’s body as she slumped onto the couch.
Being cast out by her family didn’t scare her – what hurt most was how heartless and superficial her grandmother was being towards her along with everyone else in their clan who showed their true colors.
