Chapter 138 He Can't Listen
Lachlan couldn't possibly have not seen it! The dragon-shaped jade pendant in the painting was thefamily heirloom passed down to him by his grandfather and father!
It was because of this jade pendant that he changed his destiny and now possessed variousabilities.
Although the jade pendant had long lost its luster, Lachlan still treasured it and kept it locked in asafe in his villa. Unexpectedly, someone was looking for the whereabouts of this jade pendanttoday?
And coincidentally, their last name was also Willis!! However, Lachlan was wary of Summer so hecannot tell her the truth.
"Oh, that's too bad!" Summer shook her head regretfully.
"Miss Willis, you really know how to ask a good question. We don't know anything; how could he?"Sarah sneered at Lachlan again even though Liam and Sam seemed polite towards him as well butin her eyes, Lachlan was still a freeloader.
She didn't want Frand to lose face nor did she want Miranda's husband to feel too proud so shetried her best to belittle Lachlan.
"Yeah, I didn't know either." Lachlan shrugged lazily without bothering with Sarah.
At this moment, Summer stood up with a bottle of liquor in hand and began pouring drinks foreveryone on the table.
Lachlan narrowed his eyes!
He noticed that when this woman poured drinks for everyone else on the table, her little fingerwould seemingly inadvertently tap on the edge of each glass several times.
This made an icy chill flash through deep within Lachlan's eyes.novelbin
"This jade pendant relates to my missing relatives so I ask everyone here who has someconnections or influence in Edoland can help me pay attention! My relatives should be somewherearound Edoland."
After adding more wine, Summer spoke leisurely and then finished her drink in one go.
Hearing this, the second-generation individuals all readily agreed, raising their glasses andpreparing to take a sip.
Even Miranda smiled, though she didn't say anything, she also gestured to take a drink!
"Wait!"
However, at that moment, Lachlan suddenly spoke up, halting everyone in their tracks. He evendirectly grabbed Miranda's wrist, preventing her from drinking.
"What's going on?" Miranda blinked, her expression puzzled.
The others also looked at Lachlan with confusion in their eyes.
"Don't drink the wine Miss Willis poured. It's better not to!" Lachlan said, and he proceeded to spillthe wine from his glass onto the ground and turned his glass upside down.
"Lachlan, what do you mean? You're not giving her face? She kindly poured us all a drink, whywon't you let us drink it? And yet you pour your own?"
"I know I'm from out of town and new to Edoland, but you can't bully people like this," Summer saidwith a hint of grievance in her voice. Tears were welling up in her eyes.
"That's right! What do you mean? A girl drank all the wine! You won't even take a sip? Are you still aman or not? If you won't drink it we will!" Darwin was also angry and questioned Lachlan withoutlistening to his advice before drinking the whole cup of wine.
"Bullying girls doesn't make him a man!" Sarah added with disdain as she also drank her cup ofwine.
"That's right! So rude!"
"Outrageous!"
All these second-generation kids sneered at Lachlan one after another and drank their cups of wine.
Even Liam who had been grateful to Lachlan before couldn't help but feel resentful when he sawhow upset Summer looked now. He couldn't help but blame Lachlan for it too.
"Lachlan, what do you mean by this? Did Summer offend or did I offend?" Liam asked sternly whileMiranda looked at Lachlan puzzledly. But she didn't touch that cup of wine because she believedthat there must be some reason behind what he did.
Sam hesitated for a moment too before putting down his glass. As the heir to Reid's Group, heremained calm mainly because Lachlan had just cured his mother's illness so Sam trusted himinexplicably.
When everyone was looking at him with suspicion and confusion on their faces, Lachlan spokeslowly, "Phoenix Nodding - one of the most sophisticated techniques used in witchcraft fromDesertlanding! Miss Willis, who are you really? What is your purpose here in Edoland?"
After hearing this, everyone present showed an expression full of surprise and doubt. "WhatPhoenix Nodding technique? What witchcraft are talking about?"
Sarah sneered and asked, "What's going on here?"
Everyone looked at Lachlan like he was crazy.
Summer's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then she put on an innocent face and said, "Lachlan,I don't understand what you're saying."
Liam snorted coldly and glared at Lachlan. He was furious!
"Lachlan, Summer kindly invited you over to thank you. If you don't want to give face, then justleave! What's the point of saying all this nonsense? Are you trying to bully Summer because she'snew here or because my family is easy to bully?"
"Liam, calm down! Mr. Willis must have his reasons. Let him finish speaking!" Sam tried to calm himdown.
"What do you want me to say? Summer is the woman I love the most. She came alone to Edolandlooking for me. If I can't protect her and let her suffer injustice, am I still a man?" Liam said excitedlybefore slamming his hand on the table and pointing at Lachlan. "Lachlan, today you must give mean explanation!"
"Liam..." Sam tried again but was interrupted by Lachlan waving his hand.
"Mr. Reid, you don't need to say anything else! He has been affected by love potion; he only hasthis woman in his mind now."
"What love potion? I don't know what you're talking about," Liam said excitedly.
Except for Miranda and Sam who knew about it already, everyone else seemed confused as if theywere hearing something from another world.
"Don't believe it? Do dare sit down and let me prick some needles into your skin," Lachlanchallenged him while raising an eyebrow.
Hearing this made Liam snort coldly before sitting back beside Lachlan, "What are we afraid of?Can pricking some needles really show us any bugs that might be inside my body?"
"Maybe it can... Miss Willis, what do you think?"
Lachlan nodded meaningfully towards Summer who blinked several times before laughingsarcastically, "I really have no idea what are you talking about."
"Haha..." Laughing lightly, Lachlan suddenly had three silver needles in his hands which he quicklyinserted into three acupoints on Liam's head. Because many times, Lachlan had used silverneedles as a way of disguising himself when infusing dragon energy into people so he alwayscarried them around with him wherever he went.
After the third needle went in, Liam's eyes widened and a bulge appeared on his neck. It looked likesomething was moving under his skin! Everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief at the scenebefore them.
