Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 493 Claudia's Dilemma

Upon receiving Lachlan's phone call, Claudia's emotions were unexpectedly complex. She was both scared and excited for reasons she couldn't quite explain.

Deep down, she harbored a great deal of resentment. If Lachlan were still poor, she wouldn't have felt this way.

But now he was wealthy and powerful, with a strength that made her almost unable to believe it!

She had heard from Kayden that even Isa had been forced to leave the family and go into hiding because of Lachlan's power.

So Claudia couldn't help but feel extremely resentful when she thought about how this man had once belonged to her, how he used to be her obedient husband. Helping Kayden manipulate the relationship between Lachlan and Miranda, and all the acting she did, was also driven by a certain possessiveness as a woman. If it hadn't gone too far later on, and if Lachlan hadn't almost killed her in a fit of rage, Claudia would never have left Edoland.

She might have caused trouble, trying every possible means to make Lachlan return to her side or to target him in some way.

So now, when she heard Lachlan say he wanted to meet her, Claudia was both suspicious and faintly excited.

"You... aren't you here to settle the score with me?" Claudia asked cautiously.

Lachlan sneered, "I'm not that boring! If I wanted to settle the score with you, you would have been dead when I came to your house in Edoland last time!"

"Ah? Really?" Claudia heard Lachlan say this and thought it made sense.

In the next second, her eyes flickered a few times, and she asked in a soft tone, "So, Lachlan, what do you want from me?"

Hearing Claudia's tone, Lachlan couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust, but he needed her right now, so he didn't show any emotions and said calmly, "Let's talk when we meet! After this is done, I can give you however much money you want. I guarantee that you'll live the life you want for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing these words, Claudia's eyes instantly brightened, and she pondered before asking again, "Are you really... not planning anything harmful to me?"

Lachlan spoke coldly, "Claudia, in my eyes, you're nothing but a insignificant person. Do you think I would bother dealing with you if you didn't act cheap or playing tricks on me?"
