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.

The next second, Lachlan smiled at Miranda as he crouched down in front of her and asked playfully, "Wifey, how about lifting your right foot?"

Miranda raised an eyebrow but still lifted her right foot obediently as instructed.

Lachlan went straight for it, grabbing the smooth and beautiful ankle of Miranda and taking off her high heel.

Miranda looked confused, standing on her tiptoes with a look of embarrassment as she stared at Lachlan with questioning eyes. "Lachlan, what are you doing?"

The others were also taken aback.

Damn! This guy was too bold!

He actually took off Ms. Lowe's shoe in public?

Click!

The next second, faced with Miranda's questioning gaze and a mix of shock, envy, jealousy and hatred from the crowd around them, Lachlan broke off the heel of Miranda's shoe.

Then he dug out a round gadget from inside the heel.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Lachlan handed over this device that had both listening and tracking functions to Miranda.

Miranda blinked her beautiful eyes several times before accepting it with an uncertain expression on her face.

Her delicate face suddenly turned cold!

"Miranda, there's more fun to come! But standing like this is tiring. Let's go inside and sit down!”

As he spoke these words, Lachlan picked up Miranda in his arms. Miranda was taken aback, her body stiffening up. She then glared at Lachlan fiercely, but ultimately didn't struggle.

She wasn't the type of woman to be overly dramatic. Since she had agreed to play the part of a loving couple with Lachlan, as long as he didn't go too far, she could accept it.

This scene left all the employees in the company dumbfounded! Taking off her shoe earlier wasn't enough; now he actually... carried her? Next, Lachlan went about his business in Miranda's office and found one bug after another.

Underneath the desk, in screw holes on walls and even inside sofa cushions - even under the floorboards!

It must be said that these places were all very well-hidden and installed with extreme professionalism.

But somehow, Lachlan managed to find them all!

As she watched this scene unfold before her eyes while sitting there, Miranda's face grew increasingly unpleasant.

Her pretty face almost looked like it was covered in frost!

The inner anger was easily imaginable.

Outside the door, Rex's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat. Looking at Lachlan’s gaze, he was filled with shock and resentment. He hadn't expected that when Lachlan sought out Miranda today, it was to discuss this matter.

How did this guy find out??

The other employees looked at each other, murmuring and discussing amongst themselves.

"This was found on Miss Parry today, a listening device disguised as a button!" Lachlan asked in a deep voice, "Miranda, you have a traitor by your side. I don't need to say more about it! Besides you, who else can come into your office regularly?"

Miranda's voice was icy cold as she replied, "Rex, Shelly!" In the next moment, this cool female powerhouse threw her other high heel to the side and walked out of the office barefooted with grace.

"Ms. Lowe, it wasn't me! It wasn't me! Mr. Willis also found a listening device on my clothes today but that's not mine! I don't know anything about it," Shelly finally mustered up the courage to explain herself to Miranda.

Miranda remained expressionless and looked coldly at Rex. "Rex, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Rex's eyes flickered for a few moments before he put on an innocent face full of grievances. "Ms. Lowe, I didn't do it either! I've been loyal to your family all these years. Ms. Lowe, please believe me!”

"It wasn't you? If my memory serves me right, Rex, then you're from special forces with excellent reconnaissance and anti-surveillance skills! If it wasn't you, then why did Lachlan discover these things around me while you never noticed them?" Miranda proved once again why she was such an influential businesswoman - calm and intelligent beyond ordinary women.

"I... 1." Rex stammered, sweating profusely.

The next second, he fell to his knees with a thud. "Ms. Lowe! I was wrong, please forgive me this time! I... I was only following the orders of your parents! It was your parents who asked me to do this! I... I dare not disobey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miranda's delicate body trembled slightly. Her hands clenched into fists so tightly that her knuckles turned pale. It was clear that she had reached the peak of anger.

She never expected that the people she trusted most would betray her like this!

No wonder every plan she made or new product her company launched would always be preempted by their competitors. The company's secrets had been leaked all along!

Miranda's eyes turned red with anger and heartache. Were her own parents really behind Rex's actions? Did they really want their daughter to lose the bet and marry into the Austin family?

"He's lying! Tell him to show us his phone so we can see who ordered him!"

But just then, Lachlan spoke up.

Rex's face changed completely at the words. In the next second, his eyes showed a fierce and ferocious expression as he pounced towards Miranda in front of him.
