Chapter 563 Revealing The Biggest Secret
Chapter 563 Revealing the Biggest Secret
Upon hearing that his daughter was safe, Lachlan felt a slight sense of relief.
"What decision do I need to make? What's the situation over there?" he asked with concern.
The thought of his daughter being in the hands of Wicked Bone made his heart feel like it was being squeezed by a hand.
Summer lowered her voice and briefly explained the situation on her end, including what she needed to do.
"Nora, come here, it's your dad! Say something," Summer called out at the end. Nora had been pretending to be clueless but when she heard Summer say it was her dad on the phone, her eyes lit up.
The next second, after Summer brought the phone closer, Nora hesitated for a moment and lowered her voice, saying, "Daddy..."
On the other end of the phone, Lachlan's whole body trembled as he heard his daughter's voice, and excitement appeared on his face.
"Good! Nora, be a good girl!"
"Listen to this auntie and pretend to be ignorant. Understand?"
Lachlan rarely spoke to his daughter in such a serious tone.
"Mmm! I understand."
Nora nodded obediently and agreed softly.
"Good! My precious girl! Daddy will be there soon, and everything will be fine!"
"Give the phone to auntie."
Lachlan said.
After listening to what Summer said, he knew that time was limited on his side as well, so he couldn't talk much with Nora.
Knowing that his daughter was safe for now was enough!
"Summer, thank you! Let's cut to the chase. What did you mean by saying I need to make a decision?"
Lachlan asked in a deep voice.
Summer lowered her voice and said, "Master, when I mentioned using Wicked Bone's Soulsearching Art on Nora, it definitely means that there will be a result. In other words, in order to prevent him from suspecting and harming Nora again, we probably need to provide him with some breakthrough and useful information. Master, do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's expression changed several times, and he took a deep breath, saying, "I understand..."
"Mmm! In that case, Master, you need to give me some useful information about the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant's clue that is enough to convince Wicked Bone. We must make him believe that I truly used the Soulsearching Art on Nora."
Summer spoke seriously.
With her words, Lachlan clenched his teeth.
To be honest, at this moment, he felt a hint of uncertainty in his heart.
He even doubted if Summer had been released from her soul contract with Wicked Bone and had betrayed him.
At this moment, he was being questioned about the whereabouts of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant.
However, this time, even with doubts, Lachlan had no other choice.
He didn't dare to imagine the consequences if his daughter had truly been subjected to the Soulsearching Art. Thinking of this, he couldn't care about much anymore.
After weighing it in his heart for only
three seconds, Lachlan said in a
deep voice, "Summer, tell Wicked
Bone this: In Nora's memory, I was once desperate because of her illness and had already sold the house, living with her in a rental. It was a very difficult time. Her illness seemed incurable. But for some reason, suddenly, I became
powerful. Not only did I have money,
but I also cured her illness and
possessed martial arts skills. Also..."
At this point, Lachlan took another deep breath. "Also, tell Wicked Bone that in Nora's memory, when she was sick, I had given her a Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant to wear!"
As his words fell, Summer's expression changed instantly.
A trace of shock appeared in her eyes.
"Master, you..."
Summer took a sharp breath, forcefully lowering her voice, her tone filled with suspicion and uncertainty. "Master, by saying this, aren't you... implying that the jade pendant is actually with you? And... you have obtained..."
"Yes, that's what I mean! Tell Wicked Bone exactly that."
Lachlan spoke in a deep voice.
After a few seconds of silence, Summer said, "Master... I understand."
Lachlan responded with a "Hmm."
"Alright, that's it then. This should be enough to prevent Wicked Bone from harming my daughter again! Summer, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Please... don't disappoint me."
Summer responded with a "Hmm" and then, the next second, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Master, don't worry. My soul is connected to you." After speaking, she hung up the phone. Immediately, a self-deprecating expression appeared on her delicate face. She knew that even though they had formed a subordinate type of soul contract last time, Lachlan still didn't trust her.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Now, he was telling her this earth-shattering secret solely for the sake of his daughter. This made Summer feel somewhat stifled in her heart. However, deep down, she remained absolutely loyal to Lachlan; she just felt a bit self-pity and sadness.
"Master, I won't let you down..."
"Don't worry!"
Summer murmured, looking at Nora, who was pretending to be innocent at that moment, with a smile on her face. Then, to be on the safe side, she sat there and began to create some special fluctuations in the air, using the "Soulsearching Art."
Meanwhile, on the other side, after ending the call, Lachlan let out a deep sigh.
His expression carried a touch of melancholy and helplessness. What he had told Summer was equivalent to revealing to Wicked Bone that the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was on himand, to a large extent, implying that he was the inheritor. Lachlan wasn't sure what consequences this would bring, but he had no other choice for Nora's sake.
"Wicked Bone has always coveted this inheritance and knowing that I have obtained it, he will surely try everything to obtain something from me, right? In other words, I have immeasurable value to him. He fears that I will expose his secrets, so even if he suspects something, he probably won't harm Nora anymore,"
Lachlan thought to himself.
At this moment, he turned to look at Kevin with a sharp gaze. Now, his only condition for negotiating with Wicked Bone was his great-grandson. He wondered how much weight his great-grandson held in Wicked Bone's heart.
"Lachlan, what's wrong?"
"Who called?"
At this moment, Miranda approached with a puzzled and concerned expression, asking with care.
"It was Nora! She has fallen into the hands of Wicked Bone," Lachlan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Miranda exclaimed, her face changing unpredictably. The next second, with a worried expression, she asked, "What should we do? Is Nora... Is Nora okay?"
Seeing Miranda's worried and nervous expression, Lachlan shook his head. "She's fine for now!"
The previous trace of suspicion in his mind towards Miranda couldn't help but disappear. Maybe he was too suspicious.
Miranda was still the same Miranda, and her feelings for Nora hadn't changed. Her ruthlessness might be due to her caring too much about him and Nora, so naturally, she would go all out against his enemies and Kevin, who had captured Nora!
