Chapter 702: After I Became a Traitor
The young girl, who had just finished bathing, had wet hair.
Since there were no women’s clothes available for her to change into, she wore a men’s suit.
It was taken out of Lachlan’s mustard bag, originally intended for himself.
The suit was clearly two sizes too big for Violet, making the young girl in front of him appear somewhat petite.
The little princess of the Ancient Willis family sat by the shore, blushing, and said these words to Lachlan.
At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her heart, one hand gently gripping her own clothes corner, looking shy and uneasy.
Even though she possessed the peak strength of the Nascent Soul stage and came from the prestigious martial family, the Ancient Willis family, at this moment, she still seemed like an ordinary girl.
As her words fell, Lachlan’s face was filled with shock and disbelief!
Lachlan was not astonished by Violet’s proposal to marry him, but rather by the fact that the head of the Ancient Willis family said the next successor should be the current head?
This completely shocked Lachlan!
Could this be possible?
In the next moment, as he looked at Violet, a hint of peculiarity appeared in his eyes.
Although this girl came from the Ancient Willis family, she seemed inexperienced in the ways of the world.
Whether Violet was deceiving him or not…
But if her grandfather sent her to find him, could he really… tell her the truth?
With these thoughts in mind, Lachlan suppressed his inner shock and instead wore a sneer of mockery and indifference on his face.
“So, do you know who originally had that dragon-shaped jade pendant?” Lachlan asked in a deep voice, a meaningful cold smile on his face.
“Ah? I heard it was in the hands of a lost ancestor of a certain family,” Violet paused and said to Lachlan.
Upon hearing this, the mocking expression on Lachlan’s face grew even stronger.
He was certain that what this girl knew was only what her grandfather and the high-ranking members of the Ancient Willis family wanted her to know.
“Do you know how the Ancient Willis family deals with family traitors?” Lachlan continued to ask.
Violet hesitated for a moment, her expression showing a hint of doubt, then she hesitantly said, “I heard they will hunt them down to the end! Exterminate the traitors and their descendants! Let them suffer eternal curses!”
As her words fell, a wicked smile appeared on Lachlan’s face, gradually widening.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Finally, he burst into laughter, “Hahaha!”
Amidst the laughter, there seemed to be a strong sense of mockery and hatred.
“What… what are you doing?” Violet, seeing Lachlan’s terrifying appearance, asked in a puzzled and uncertain tone.
Because in the situation where she thought she was going to die, Lachlan saved her life, so this girl inexplicably developed a certain fondness for Lachlan in her heart.
Moreover, she believed that Lachlan would eventually become her husband.
Deep in her heart, there was no longer as much resistance, and she had even accepted this fact.
Most of the descendants of these ancient martial families had very traditional beliefs and values.
Especially when it came to their marriage, they still followed the ancient ways of parental arrangements and matchmakers.
Her grandfather said he wanted her to marry the successor, so Violet regarded the successor as her husband.
In this situation, this “husband” of hers had saved her life, naturally causing Violet to have indescribable feelings for Lachlan.
Otherwise, when Lachlan placed his hand on her chest before, Violet wouldn’t have just shyly reminded him so simply.
If it were someone else, they would probably have slapped him to death! So, when Violet saw Lachlan in this insane state of laughter, she felt a sudden fear and worry, just like a wife witnessing her husband going crazy with alcohol. “What’s wrong?”
Lachlan’s face was filled with a mocking expression as he said word by word, “Didn’t your grandfather tell you that the dragon-shaped jade pendant was taken away by a traitor from the Willis family? And I am that traitor, the successor of the Ancient Willis family!”
He continued with a cold smirk, asking, “Now, do you still think your grandfather wanted you to bring me back to become the next family head? Your grandfather was just deceiving you! Hahaha… As a traitor’s successor, my grandfather has been missing for many years, and the deaths of my parents are all related to the Reclusive Willis family and the people from the Ancient Willis family. Do you really think they would let someone like me become your family head? Do you really think they would let you marry me?”
“You’re too naive, little girl! You are just a tool your grandfather used to deceive me into returning!” After hearing these words, Violet widened her beautiful eyes and sat there in a daze. Her pretty face was filled with an expression of disbelief. She shook her head and muttered, “You’re the traitor’s successor of the Willis family? And my parents died at the hands of the Willis family? No! It can’t be! You must be lying to me, right? It’s impossible! How could my grandfather just use me?”
No one understands the feelings of a naive girl who has just developed feelings for a man and learned such news. If Lachlan is really the traitor’s successor of the Willis family, then he is undoubtedly completely opposed to the Ancient Willis family.
How could someone like him possibly return to become the head of the Ancient Willis family? Not to mention that the Ancient Willis family is unlikely to accept him!
Even he himself would definitely not join the Ancient Willis family. Didn’t he say it himself? His parents died at the hands of the Willis family. For a moment, Violet’s heart was filled with confusion and helplessness. “Nothing is impossible! That’s the fact!”
Lachlan shook his head and said expressionlessly. In the next moment, his tone became cold and firm, “So, I cannot go back with you to the Ancient Willis family, do you understand? If you try to take me by force, you can give it a try!”
As he spoke, he gripped the life-saving talisman that Sullivan had given him, ready to use it at any moment. It was a seal, similar to the “Suppressing Talisman” he had made for Miranda and Nora before. However, it was more profound and had a more terrifying power than the Suppressing Talisman.
Once crushed, it would be enough to unleash the attack of an early-stage Void Reclusion expert. So, even if Lachlan encountered a peak Nascent Soul expert, he could rely on this life-saving talisman.
At this moment, as long as Violet made a forceful move, Lachlan would crush this talisman, believing it would be enough to injure her. At the same time, he would have enough time for Elder Fiery Dragon to come and assist him.
For a Nascent Soul peak expert, a kilometer’s distance was only a matter of two or three breaths. However, Violet shook her head, and a faint mist inexplicably appeared in her beautiful eyes. Looking at the resolute expression on Lachlan’s face, for some reason, Violet’s heart suddenly felt suffocated.
