He even threatened to kill him, after taking him on a terrifying joyride recently.
Last night we saw Lawrence hand over some shares in the business to the scheming new dad, and Robert’s plan is falling into place.
But since baby Sebastian was born, Robert has had a change of heart and wants to do right by his boy. Awww.
It’s too late for Lachlan though, he’s already been pushed over the edge and – as we know – when Lachlan’s over the edge, he’s dangerous.
Aaron Dingle begins to worry about Belle’s involvement with the twisted teen after hearing about his threatening behaviour.
Belle learns about the prostitute and that Lachlan almost hurt baby Seb and is shocked when she confronts him and he doesn’t deny it.
Robert is pleased that his former stepson’s true colours have been exposed but the Whites are left reeling when Chrissie gets a text from her son saying they’ll never see him again.
Meanwhile in a dark room Lachlan leaves a goodbye message for Belle and picks up an electric drill. Is he really going to end his own life?
Chrissie certainly thinks so – is tragedy about to rock Home Farm?
Robert is thrown by Lachlan’s actions and also when Rebecca spots fake investor, Kath, presenting on the home shopping channel.
