Chapter 65 Who is really going to leave?
Orion had been in the hospital for over a week, but today he was finally discharged. Despite taking “Lowe’s Golden Wound Medicine” from Lachlan, the damage caused by the 96-degree liquor to his esophagus and intestinal mucosa was not easy to fully recover from. There may even be permanent sequelae. Not to mention, his voice may never be the same again.
So how could Orion, a military playboy, not hold a grudge against Lachlan who caused all of this?
Seeing Lachlan now made him particularly resentful.
“Mr. Moore, do you know this guy?” The young man with an earring asked nervously.
If Orion knew this person as a friend, then he would feel embarrassed about confronting and scolding Lachlan just now.
“I know him! Of course I know him! It’s thanks to him that Orion went into the hospital!” Betty nodded and stared at Lachlan.
The ten or so men and women in their group all showed unfriendly expressions towards Lachlan except for one exceptionally outstanding girl who was in her early twenties. She had impeccable looks and a calm temperament and wasn’t interested in Orion’s conflict with Lachlan.
“I see.” The earring-wearing man relaxed his expression.
“Turns out Mr. Moore has a grudge against this guy, so it’s easy to handle,” he said as he patted his chest and turned to Orion. “Mr. Moore, don’t worry, I’ll teach this guy a lesson for you today! This is Ward family’s territory. Since I’ve caught him, I’ll make sure he doesn’t leave unscathed!”
The earring-wearing man gave Lachlan a sinister smile.
His name was Paul Ward and he wasn’t actually a direct descendant of the Ward family, but rather an extended member. However, that didn’t stop him from being arrogant in the Ward family’s hotel. After all, even as an extended member of the family, people here still had to give him face as “Young Master.”
“Oh? This is the Ward family’s territory? Are you part of the Ward family?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“That’s right! This hotel belongs to the Ward family. Kid, if you mess with us here it won’t end well for you! If you dare offend Mr. Moore again then I won’t let you off lightly,” Paul said arrogantly.
At this moment though, the elegant beauty frowned slightly and spoke up, “Paul, don’t cause trouble here today. The old man sent us over to accompany an important guest. Don’t create unnecessary problems.”
Orion gave Lachlan a cold look before waving his hand dismissively. “Forget it, Mr. Ward. If we cause any disturbance, it wouldn’t be good if we disturb our important guest. I’ll deal with this guy myself later on.”
“You’re lucky,” Betty sneered at Lachlan.
Most of these wealthy girls from Edoland were part of certain circle and many were friends with each other. Betty was also close friends with Kiera Ward, and she had been brought along by Kiera today.
According to Kiera, Erik was entertaining a VIP at the top floor of the Square Window today! And this VIP happened to be a renowned doctor. So she dragged Orion along with her.
After being burned by high-concentration alcohol, there wasn’t much the hospital could do except for slow recovery. It might even leave permanent after-effects. That was why they wanted Orion to come and see if the doctor could help.
“Fine! But since this guy offended Mr. Moore, even if we don’t teach him a lesson today, we can’t let him stay here and cause trouble! I’ll have security kick him out!” Paul sneered.
“Yeah! Get rid of this guy!”
“The hell? This poor-looking guy dares to come into the Square Window?”
“Just one meal here is enough for him to earn in a year, right?”
The rich second-generation peers followed suit in mocking and ridiculing.
“Security! Security!” Paul shouted at the hotel’s security guards.
As soon as he finished speaking, several security guards and the manager on the first floor hurried over.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Ward?” The manager asked respectfully.
Even though Paul was only a distant relative, he was still a descendant of the Ward family, so the manager naturally treated him with courtesy.
“Get this guy out of here!” Paul pointed at Lachlan and ordered.
The manager took a few glances at Lachlan after hearing this, then made a gesture of invitation towards him and said in a harsh tone, “Sir, please leave!”
Lachlan raised an eyebrow. “Why should I leave? I’m also here as a customer. Is this how you treat your customers?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Paul sneered, “You’re considered a customer? The Square Window is members-only. Haven’t you noticed that there are only private rooms here and no dining hall? We only serve members. Do you have membership here?”
He looked down on Lachlan while scrutinizing his outfit worth just several hundred dollars from head to toe.
The group of men and women accompanying him also looked at Lachlan with disdainful eyes that seemed to compare him to someone poor or unimportant.
“Look at how he looks like! How could he possibly be our member?”
“The lowest level membership starts with depositing $10k!”
“You better get lost! You’re lucky if we don’t beat you up today!”
Listening to these taunts, Lachlan smiled indifferently, “Sorry but I really am a member here.”
“Oh? Even if you are really our member, I’m afraid you’re just the lowest level one! Whereas I am not only the Golden Member but also the descendant of Ward family who has every right to kick low-level members like you out!” Paul boasted in front of Orion and a group of wealthy second-generation individuals. He constantly flaunted his status as a descendant of the Ward family.
Lachlan, upon hearing this, turned to the manager and asked, “Is that so? Is there a rule here that allows high-level members to expel low-level members?”
The manager hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Yes! High-level members are more prestigious, and when conflicts arise between two parties, we must take care of the dining experience for our high-level members.”
In reality, the Square Window did not have such rules; the manager simply looked down on Lachlan and wanted to please Paul.
At this moment, Betty snickered impatiently and said, “Don’t listen to him bragging here! This guy isn’t even an ordinary member! Do you guys know who he is? He’s Mason’s brother-in-law or rather the husband of that Lowe family heiress. You get it now?”
As she spoke these words with disdainful eyes fixed on Lachlan’s face while raising her chin up at him in contemptuous fashion.
The other wealthy second-generation individuals present all showed expressions indicating their understanding except for Orion who was not from Edoland.
They all had some connections with people like Kiera or Betty because they came from influential families themselves. So they had heard about how someone impersonated Miranda’s husband.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Haha… so you’re Mr. Lowe’s brother-in-law!” one person laughed mockingly while another added, “A gigolo and useless son-in-law who dares to pretend to be a member here!”
“Who doesn’t know that the man the Lowe family’s daughter was looking for is actually a dog!”
“How could your mistress possibly get you a membership card here?”
Mocking voices echoed one after another.
“Enough, get him out of here!” Paul waved his hand and ordered the security guard, as if he had no patience left.
The lobby manager waved his hand and several security guards were about to rush towards Lachlan like wolves and tigers, using some kind of violent means to drive him out.
However, at this moment, Lachlan’s hand held a dark gold card.
“If someone has to leave, it should be you guys.”
