Chapter 175 This Hotel is Mine, Just by Itself
Lachlan glanced coldly at Theo, finally seeing the true face of his so-called friend. Listening to the mockery around him, Lachlan remained expressionless, as if he were detached from it all.
“How can you do this? Mocking someone else’s pain?” Only Allison stood up for Lachlan at this point.
Lachlan pulled her aside and shook his head at her, indicating that there was no need to say anything more to these people.
Lachlan now saw things from a different perspective than those present. A dragon soaring in the sky would not care about ants on the ground calling it a big bug.
“Have you all had enough laughter? If so, then leave!” Lachlan said coldly. His voice was not loud but clear enough for everyone to hear.
As soon as he finished speaking, another round of mocking laughter erupted.
“What did I hear? This unemployed person wants us to leave?” Freya sneered.
The next second she leaned over and whispered something in Gavin’s ear.
“This dinner was paid for by Gavin; who are you anyway?” Demi scolded him.
At this moment, after hearing Freya’s mutterings, Gavin glanced at Allison and then shot a dark look at Lachlan.
“Lachlan, I’m the one who organized this class reunion! You, a poor guy, can’t afford to organize it, yet you want to come here and cause trouble? I don’t remember inviting you. If someone needs to leave, it’s you! Why should everyone else leave because of you?”
Lachlan replied coldly, “Because I own this hotel! If I don’t serve all of you, then who will?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter again.
“What did I hear? An unemployed person saying that he owns this hotel?”
“Hahaha… this is hilarious!”
“A poor guy who couldn’t even afford food back then has become rich overnight and claims that he owns such an upscale hotel like Golden Family Hotel.”
Everyone laughed heartily like they had heard a joke. Even Allison frowned slightly thinking that Lachlan might be bragging too much because although Golden Family Hotel wasn’t five-star rated, it was still one of Edoland’s few high-end hotels whose total value could hardly be estimated – how could someone like him claim ownership over such an establishment?
Freya laughed so hard that she was shaking, pointing at Lachlan and mocking him, “If this hotel is yours, I’ll eat this plate! Hahaha…”
Demi also sneered, “If it really is his hotel, I’ll eat this table! I’ve heard of people renting clothes and luxury cars to show off at class reunions but pretending to be a hotel owner? Pathetic and embarrassing!”
Gavin chuckled teasingly, “Lachlan, you’re brave enough to say anything just for a free meal. This hotel belongs to you?”
“Have you heard of Peter Brown? Let me tell you he’s my cousin and he’s in charge of this hotel. Want me to introduce him to you?” Gavin smirked.
The classmates were amazed by Gavin’s words and looked at him with admiration.
“Peter Brown? He’s a big shot of underworld!”
“I didn’t expect Gavin not only has a successful business but also such powerful connections in the underworld!”
“Mr. Lowe is one of Edoland’s biggest underground forces and Peter is one of Mr. Lowe’s trusted aides.”
Hearing these words made Gavin even more proud while Demi and other female classmates looked up at him with adoration.
However, just then Lachlan nodded expressionlessly, “Okay then call him over.”
Hearing Lachlan’s response made Gavin pause for a moment before slamming his glass down onto the ground spilling red wine everywhere.
“What are you pretending for?! If you don’t want to leave then lick my shoes clean! I can let it slide since we’re classmates.”
“Come on! You used to be good at washing socks and smelly shoes during school time right? It’s your specialty! Hahaha…”
“If they’re clean enough, maybe I’ll consider giving you some work here too!”
This caused another round of laughter!
Allison couldn’t bear it any longer as she angrily said, “Gavin don’t go too far!” She grabbed Lachlan’s hand directly saying, “Lachlan let’s go! There isn’t anything worth staying for in this class reunion anymore.”
Upon seeing this, Gavin’s expression turned completely dark with jealousy written all over his face. It seemed that what Freya had just told him was true – Allison seemed to be interested in this poor guy?
“What are you walking for?”
“Someone come and hold down this poor guy for me, I want to use his face to shine my shoes!”
Today, Gavin was going to humiliate Lachlan in front of Allison.
As soon as he spoke, several male classmates jumped out.
These guys were Gavin’s lackeys since they were in school. Now that Gavin’s family business had grown even bigger, these people were even more eager to show off in front of him.
What made Lachlan most angry was that Theo was also among them.
Although Lachlan had spent 1 million dollars buying the factory for Miranda, Theo believed that Lachlan could never beat Gavin.
He held a grudge against Lachlan and wanted to please Gavin after losing his job!
At this moment, he rushed forward at the forefront!
Lachlan looked at these so-called classmates and “brothers” with cold eyes before snorting heavily.
Slap!
The next moment, Lachlan slapped Theo across the face so hard that he flew out and half of his face swelled up instantly.
Slap! Slap! Slap…
Immediately afterwards came the sound of loud slaps one after another!
All of Gavin’s lackeys were slapped away by Lachlan one by one.
Seeing this scene made everyone widen their eyes. They never thought that the once-poor student would be so fierce now. He just kept slapping people away like it was nothing?
“Do you dare fight back?” said an enraged Gavin as he cursed with a cold expression on his face.
Lachlan remained emotionless as he walked towards him step by step before giving him another slap without saying a word
Slap!
This slap hit so hard on Gavin’s earlobe causing him to spin around before falling onto the ground while spitting out some teeth.
“How dare you hit me! I won’t let you leave here today!” shouted an infuriated Gavin whose nose started bleeding while holding onto his phone calling someone else for help.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Lackland didn’t stop him but instead grabbed Gavin’s hair roughly lifting up from ground.
Slap again!!
“Ahhhhh!!!”
“Lachlan, I’m going to kill you!”
“You’re definitely going to die today! Ah…”
This time, Gavin’s back molars flew out as he hysterically gasped for air.
Lachlan’s face was calm as he continued walking towards him.
“When you bullied me before, I could think of it as childish behavior.”
“But now that you’re still bullying me, I can only beat some sense into you!”
