Chapter 591 Are All Men Wimps?

Lachlan swallowed and looked at the alluring Miranda, asking, "Has the Lord of Evil Spirits returned?"

Miranda's reaction caught Lachlan off guard for a moment. While he was lost in thought, Miranda's courage dissipated into thin air and she became embarrassed and angry.

She threw a pillow at Lachlan and said angrily, "Idiot! Go to sleep!"

That night...

No matter how much Lachlan tried to coax her, Miranda refused to let him touch her again. However, he could sense from her attitude that she wasn't really angry but rather shy? In any case, Lachlan enjoyed it.

With Nora's matter temporarily resolved, Lachlan felt a huge sigh of relief. Thanks to his help, Miranda's company had been steadily improving recently. Everything was progressing in a positive direction.

The next day during breakfast, Mason, while drinking his porridge and not even looking up, said to Lachlan, "Brother-in-law, since Nora is not here, can you accompany me somewhere later?" Before Lachlan could respond, Miranda frowned coldly and said, "Mason, your brother-in-law is busy all day. How can he have time to hang out with you?" Mason was still somewhat afraid of Miranda and immediately shrunk his neck, chuckling and persistently saying, "Sis, my brother-in-law is awesome. I feel safe when I'm with him! I promise we won't do anything bad when we go out!"

Seeing that Miranda was about to refuse, Lachlan stepped forward to mediate, "Alright, it's just accompanying him for a while. Besides, don't you know me? Even if Mason wants to mess around, I'll be the first to bring him back!"

Hmph! Hearing Lachlan's words, Miranda let out a cold snort and rolled her eyes at Mason without saying anything. In fact, the goddess CEO wanted Lachlan to spend more time with her. Last night, Lachlan had confided in her about certain matters. Miranda knew that Lachlan would soon leave and go to the "Broken Pulse Sect." After finishing their meal, Mason, with an excited expression, grabbed Lachlan's hand and they headed out the door.

Once they were in the car, Lachlan smiled at Mason and said, "Alright, spill it. What's the secret mission you need my help with today?"

Tsk!

Upon hearing Lachlan's words, Mason was momentarily stunned but quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "As expected of my brother-in-law, I can't hide anything from you. Today is Scarlet's birthday, and I wanted to help her organize a big celebration, but she outright refused. Originally, she only invited her girlfriends to a small gathering, and if I hadn't persuaded her, she wouldn't have let me go either!"

As Mason explained, there seemed to be a tinge of resentment in his tone. Lachlan couldn't help but chuckle. He knew about Mason's secret crush on Scarlet, but unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited. Scarlet didn't have any romantic feelings for him, but Mason seemed to be enchanted by her and constantly tried to please her. However, Lachlan wasn't aware that it was Scarlet's birthday today. Since they were already out, he thought it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

While thinking about this, the two of them quickly arrived at the residence of the Harris family in Edoland, where Eduard and his daughter lived.

Lachlan was quite familiar with the Harris family. Not only was he good friends with Eduard, but he also saved Scarlet's life. The entire Harris family had a great impression of Lachlan, so they naturally welcomed him warmly. However, seeing a group of giggling girls in front of him, Lachlan felt a headache coming on and promptly retreated to a corner.

It wasn't that he didn't want to approach and talk to Scarlet, but it didn't seem appropriate to join in when it was all girls. After all, he was a married man!

On the other hand, Mason was quite adept at handling this kind of situation and moved around among the girls with ease.

"Lachlan, I didn't expect you to come and celebrate my birthday with Mason," Scarlet said with a slightly flushed face after having a bit of wine. Lachlan didn't want to explain that Mason had dragged him here, so he politely replied to Scarlet, "Of course."

Scarlet felt a tinge of

disappointment when she realized that Lachlan didn't have much

intention to interact. But before she could speak again, a soft laughter came from the side. "So, you're Lachlan, huh? Scarlet talks about you all the time. I thought you were some extraordinary person based on the way she idolizes you. But seeing you now, you're really nothing special," said Ariel Gesner mockingly.

Lachlan furrowed his brows upon hearing the sarcastic words and looked at the girl standing beside Scarlet. She had a decent appearance and was clearly from a well-off family. "Ariel, what did you just say?" Scarlet furrowed her brows and spoke coldly to Ariel.

However, Ariel clearly didn't take

Scarlet's words to heart. She

sneered and said, "Scarlet, I hate to break it to you, but I heard that

Lachlan is already married and has a daughter. There's no need to waste your energy on someone like him. Besides, even if he saved your life, didn't your father also give him a villa? It's all balanced out!"

Ariel's tone was full of disdain, and as her voice fell, many people turned their gaze towards them.

Scarlet quickly explained, "Ariel is my cousin. She has a rebellious personality." She continued, "Since she found out about my gratitude towards you, she has been resentful of you. Originally, I didn't want to invite her to this birthday party."

"But who knew she would suddenly show up today, and I couldn't do anything about it!" Taking this opportunity, Scarlet explained to Lachlan and stood up, intending to pull Ariel away.

Of course, Ariel looked down on Lachlan. In her eyes, whether it was the Harris family or her family, they were both prestigious and noble. How could she respect a man like him?

Even though Scarlet and Eduard praised Lachlan, Ariel was convinced that he had used some means to climb up the social ladder and get close to the Harris family. Scarlet was naive and easily deceived, but she wouldn't be fooled so easily.

When Ariel heard that Lachlan was also coming to Scarlet's birthday party, she knew her opportunity had come. She wanted to take this chance to humiliate Lachlan severely and make him understand the difference between himself and Scarlet.

Seeing Lachlan being humiliated and

unable to say a word, Ariel's mocking expression became even more pronounced. "Ha, as expected, all men are weaklings! I knew men like you couldn't be relied upon, always mooching off others! Let me tell you, Lachlan, whether it's the Harris family or my family, you can never reach our level! I advise you to give up any thoughts about Scarlet

as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite to you!"

Ariel became more and more excessive in her words, and in the end, she even shouted in front of everyone.

Scarlet's face turned red from Ariel's actions. Yes, she did have a slight fondness for Lachlan. She had hidden this fondness deep inside her and even intentionally displayed a hint of "animosity" towards him when they were together. But she didn't expect Ariel to expose it publicly like this.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She cautiously looked at Lachlan, afraid that he would leave in anger because of Ariel's words. The entire birthday party would be ruined by her actions!

However, Lachlan's expression remained unchanged throughout. Ariel's mocking words didn't evoke any emotional response from him. He had experienced too many bizarre things recently, and Ariel's behavior was nothing more than that of a clown in his eyes.

"Are you done talking?" Lachlan's voice was extremely calm, with a hint of a smile.
