Chapter 451 Is it a Sin? Maybe
In a room inside the villa, Lachlan brought Summer here and closed the door. His face was cold as he looked at Summer and said, "Is it fun to sow discord in my marriage?"
Miranda's indifferent reaction earlier made Lachlan think that the goddess CEO must be disappointed in him again. So now, he hated Summer with a passion.
Summer giggled and asked playfully, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? We were supposed to have a private conversation anyway. Should we talk about Nora's curse in front of your daughter or your wife?"
Lachlan snorted and waved his hand impatiently. He asked with some anticipation in his eyes, "You said on the phone that you can suppress my daughter's curse. What is your method?"
Summer nodded and said, "Yes, I do have a way to suppress Nora's curse when she has an attack. But let me make it clear beforehand that I cannot cure her completely. I can only alleviate her pain."
"I know that already," Lachlan replied eagerly. "What is your method? Please tell me." If there was any way to ease Nora's suffering even just a little bit, he would take it.
At this moment though, Summer looked at Lachlan up and down before asking curiously, "But why should I help you? What will you give me in return?"
Lachlan frowned and said sternly, "Don't you want to know where Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant is? As I've told you before, my father has it on him right now. If you help my daughter relieve her pain during an attack of the curse, then I'll tell you exactly where my parents are."
"Oh really?" Summer raised an eyebrow upon hearing this offer from Lachlan.
Lachlan thought to himself, "It's partly true and partly false. Do you want me to tell you that I have already obtained the inheritance within the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant? And yet, you're still willing to help suppress the curse on my daughter?"
"Really! Do you know about the Cloud Sea Mountain Base in Lucoork West? I also want to find out about my parents' whereabouts," Lachlan nodded as if it were a matter of course.
"I'm not sure, but I will find out," said Summer nonchalantly, and there was no trust between her and Lachlan. She seriously doubted his words.
Summer thought to herself, "Lachlan, are you telling me the truth? But it doesn't matter. Once I control your daughter, I won't need your compromise."
I can't control you, but can't I control your daughter?
With that in mind, she took out a golden box from her body and opened it in front of Lachlan.
Inside, there was a golden-colored worm that looked like a cocoon.
This worm was completely golden and even appeared somewhat beautiful.
"What is this?" Lachlan squinted his eyes and stared at Summer, asking.
"This is the Heavenly Silkworm Poisonous Insect, cultivated using various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It contains extremely pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If I place it in your daughter's body, specifically in her bone marrow, it can help her absorb the evil energy from the curse and alleviate her suffering!" Summer said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's gaze became sharp and intense.
"You want to poison my daughter? Is this what you meant by helping her suppress the curse?" he asked.
Summer nodded. "Don't you know that the initial appearance of poison was meant for healing purposes? If you don't believe me, you can wait until your daughter has another episode. If there's no effect, I can help remove it."
Lachlan's eyes flickered for a moment, as if contemplating something.
"Lachlan, do you really distrust me to this extent?" Summer looked at Lachlan's expression with a touch of grievance in her tone.
It seemed as if Lachlan's doubts and defenses against her had hurt her.
The next moment, Lachlan stared at Summer, and in his eyes, a dangerous glint seemed to flicker.
"Summer, you're right! I indeed don't trust you. I don't believe a single word you say!"
"I'm sorry! I know this is somewhat evil and cruel, but for the sake of my daughter... I have no choice!"
Upon hearing this, Summer was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean?"
For some reason, Lachlan's current gaze and tone of speech filled her with a sense of fear.
Danger!
That was the only thought in Summer's mind at this moment.
"What are you planning to do?" She took two steps back cautiously, watching Lachlan with a guarded expression.
However, despite her recent breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, the pinnacle of Energy Refinement, how could she possibly escape from Lachlan's grasp?
Swish!
Suddenly, Lachlan held a silver-gray
talisman in his hand. He bit his middle finger and let his blood drip onto it. Then, his figure turned into an afterimage and flashed in front of Summer.
In that instant, a warning sign flashed in Summer's heart.
She exerted all her strength and struck a palm towards Lachlan.
It seemed like a weak and boneless palm, but it landed fiercely on Lachlan's chest. However, the power of this palm seemed truly weak.
Lachlan allowed her attack to hit him, and at the same time, the Soul Edict Talisman mercilessly stuck to Summer's forehead.

A strange fluctuation appeared!
Summer's face changed drastically, and then her eyes rolled back, leaving only the whites visible. It looked quite eerie and chilling.
At the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her soul, as a terrifying and evil power merged into her being.
Lachlan took a deep breath and took
a few steps back. He didn't know if the Soul Edict Talisman was truly effective or what consequences it would bring to Summer.
Looking at Summer's frightening appearance at this moment, a complex emotion surged within Lachlan. The act of enslaving someone's soul was undeniably wicked.
Killing someone was one thing, but using such means made him feel a sense of guilt deep within his heart.
He adjusted his mindset and silently persuaded himself, "Is it a sin? Perhaps!"
"But for Nora, even if I become a demon, so be it!"
"Darling, even if your father's soul turns dark, as long as there's a speck of red on the tip of his heart, it's enough!" "And you, my dear, reside within that speck of blood!"
