Chapter 23 A Desperate Person

As soon as Lachlan spoke, the room erupted in chaos.

"What did you say? You want me to disappear from Ms. Lowe's side?" Rex asked with a scowl.

"Yes," Lachlan nodded

Miranda looked on with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, opening her mouth to rebuke Lachlan before thinking better of it. She couldn't help but wonder what this man was up to, given his tendency for surprise and even awe-inspiring behavior.

Surely he wasn't just shooting in the dark?

Rex sneered and pointed at Lachlan. "Who do you think you are? Just a puppet son-in-law who thinks you're somebody important?”

"You want me to disappear from Ms. Lowe's side? What, do you have the power to fire me or something?" Rex continued sarcastically. "Or maybe you're trying to play politics in the harem?"

The room erupted into laughter at Rex's words.

"Harem politics? Haha, Rex is quite clever!”

"This guy is like Ms. Lowe's third fiancé - isn't that basically harem politics?"

"I can't believe it..." muttered a few employees under their breath "Puppet? You're wrong!" Lachlan snorted coldly, scanning the room before addressing everyone. "Listen up, all of you! I am your CEO Ms. Lowe's legitimate husband.”

With that said, he turned to Miranda and asked, "Do you believe me?" Miranda hesitated for a moment before nodding her head with an "Mm-hmm." She had wanted everyone to believe that Lachlan was really her man and in front of the company's employees, she naturally had to keep up appearances.

Seeing this scene unfold before them, those who had initially shown disdain when they heard Lachlan call himself Ms. Lowe's husband were now surprised by his boldness and intimacy towards their boss. And Rex's face couldn't help but change as he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart for some unknown reason.
