Chapter 276 Are You Angry or Not?

Miranda couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Markus suddenly felt dizzy and entranced!

In that moment, he was even more head over heels for her! He wished he could divorce Miranda from Lachlan right away so he could have her all to himself. With a mocking and arrogant tone, Markus said, "You're still laughing when you haven't even paid your dowry yet? Where is it? I don't see it anywhere."

Lachlan stopped smiling and calmly replied, "I had someone send it over. It should be here soon."

"Hmph," Markus sneered. "You still need someone to bring it up? How much did you give anyway? Can't show face in front of us?"

"We're actually staying at Uncle Lowe's house for dinner tonight," Markus added teasingly.

"We want to see how much dowry you can give Miranda's family. It doesn't matter if you're just ordinary people; you should at least have some attitude." Alfred chuckled with an expression that seemed like he was waiting for Lachlan to embarrass himself.

Even Emmanuel and Cara had said that their son-in-law's family was quite ordinary. In this situation, how much dowry could Lachlan possibly give? He must be trying hard to save face in front of them.

At this point, Alfred's family wasn't afraid of provoking Emmanuel and his wife so much that they wouldn't be able to come down from their high horse.

It would be best if things escalated further until Emmanuel couldn't bear the shame anymore and wanted his daughter divorced! "Uncle Alfred and Markus, I suggest you leave now before things get too embarrassing for you later on," Mason said nonchalantly.

Hearing this remark made Alfred frown as he didn't expect Mason would say something like that.

Markus' face darkened with a hint of resentment as he retorted back at Mason, "Mason, are you also taking sides with him now? Don't forget when we were kids; you also wanted me as your brother-in-law." Mason replied irritably, "As I recall what I said earlier about wanting my sister married off has nothing do with what's happening right now! My brother-in-law is only one person - Lachlan! Markus, don't make a fool out of yourself by comparing yourself even just one finger against my brother-in-law!"

With those words spoken, Mason shook his head disdainfully while feeling amused inside just like Lachlan who wasn't angry despite hearing Markus' thoughts about his sister because both found the situation funny!

"What did you say?" Markus asked indignantly after hearing Mason's words.

At that moment, several men in suits appeared, each carrying two large boxes as they stomped up the stairs.

"Mr. Willis, your things have arrived!" The leader of the group, Dennis, shouted respectfully to Lachlan upon arrival.

"Hmm, bring them in," Lachlan nodded and gestured for them to enter.

One by one, four square meter boxes were brought into the living room.

As Alfred's family stared dumbfoundedly at the four boxes before them, even Emmanuel and Cara looked confused. "Ha... you got four huge boxes! It looks like a bluff. I hope it's not just filled with junk," Markus sneered mockingly.

"Why don't you open it up and see for yourself?" Lachlan chuckled mischievously.

Markus snorted coldly. "Of course I'll take a look! Unless it's full of money?"

He walked over to one of the boxes without hesitation and opened it!

Creak!

The next second, he froze completely still as he let out a strange cry. Even Alfred and his wife Julia widened their eyes in shock; Emmanuel, Cara and Miranda all looked stunned! Money! There was actually an entire box filled with cash inside!

Markus wiped away some cold sweat before reluctantly opening up the other three boxes. But every time he did so, his expression grew more shocked until his hands began shaking uncontrollably by the end of it all...

Gulp...

Markus swallowed hard as he gazed at all these jewels, gold pieces antiques laid out before him. Even Alfred and Julia were left speechless by this sight...

This... was this really just Miranda's dowry?

Did he rob a national treasury or something?

"Lachlan... what is this? All of these are..." Even Emmanuel was struggling to speak coherently as he stared at Lachlan in disbelief.

"Emmanuel, this is my gift for you and Cara on our wedding day! Don't think it's too little!" Lachlan grinned widely while speaking.

Hearing those words caused everyone present to twitch involuntarily. How could anyone be so arrogant?!

"All of these?" Emmanuel asked incredulously.

"Yeah, why else would I drag everything here?"Lachlan replied nonchalantly.

"No way, they're far too valuable! We can't accept any of this," Emmanuel took a deep breath while repeatedly waving his hands back and forth.

"What do you mean 'too valuable'? Isn't my wife worth all that much?"Lachlan countered seriously.

Emmanuel let out a sigh, but Cara was all smiles as she rummaged through the jewelry box filled with gems.

"Alright, let's tidy up for our daughter and son-in-law!"

The mother-in-law beamed with pride as she turned to Alfred's family and asked, "Alfred, how many years did it take Markus to earn all these things?" Upon hearing this question, Alfred and his wife coughed awkwardly while Markus turned red in embarrassment. He wished he could just disappear. "Emmanuel, Cara! Let's catch up another day!"

Alfred said before quickly leaving with his family without even looking back.

"How about dinner tonight?!" Cara called out cheerfully.

But they didn't even turn their heads or slow down their pace.

Lachlan chuckled silently and shook his head in disbelief while Miranda scolded him saying, "Why are you laughing? Someone is missing your wife and you're happy about it?" Lachlan grinned mischievously and replied, "Of course I am! It means my wife has charm and I feel proud! Besides there's nothing I can do about it so why not just laugh it off? Haha..."

Miranda blushed at Lachlan's words before pinching him hard. With that settled everyone left one by one until the whole family was gathered together again.

Cara directed her husband along with Mason and Lachlan to put away the four boxes before starting to cook herself! The incident earlier was nothing more than a farce in everyone else's eyes since Markus wasn't even on the same level as Lachlan; no one took it seriously...

Within a creepy mountain!

In the lingering glow of the setting sun, several figures cast long shadows.

Several members dispatched by the Thompson family escorted Butch Ghost's body to the Ghost Plaque Sect.

An elderly man draped in a blood-red robe, looking at the corpse, had a face full of sorrow and indignation.

"My disciple! My disciple!"

"What kind of person would dare kill Ghost Plaque Sect's disciple?"

The blood-robed elder roared as he transformed into a bloody shadow rushing towards one of Thompson family's men grabbing him by his neck.

"Speak up! Who did this?"

The man trembled in fear replying, "In Edoland...Lachlan Willis! This his information."
