NovelEnglish368.Chapter 368 "Drag them to the censetery and make them kneel for three days. No food or water unless I say so." At Gabriel's command, the shadow quards immediately stepped forward and dragged Eliza and Matthew away.
One of Lucas's subordinates whispered, "Mr. Carter, are we just going to stand by and watch?" The beating was one thing, but starvation and dehydration for three days? That could kill them. Lucas shook his head. "No need." He had seen through it-while Gabriel might appear harsh on the surface, he hadn't completely abandoned Sophie.
If Gabriel truly wanted to punish her, why didn't he have someone pull Matthew away when he rushed in? Instead, he let them both take the beating together, and most of the lashes ended up landing on Matthew. Sophie barely took a few strikes after the initial blows.

Before coming here, they had thoroughly investigated the Stonor family and understood the significance of Benedict to Gabriel As the future heir, if anything were to happen to Benedict, Gabriel might genuinely kill Sophie.
After all, no matter how much Gabriel might care for or dote on Sophie, an illegitimate daughter, Sophie could never surpass the importance of the Stonor family's rightful heir.
"Are the flowers from last night still there?" Lucas tumed to one of his men and asked.
The man nodded. "We stashed them securely after retrieving them. Do you need them now, Mr. Carter?" "Not now. Bring it tolater." That idiot girl's mess, Lucas thought, 'Now I must clean it up! He only prayed Benedict wouldn't die too soon, or things would get even more complicated.
Lucas lowered his gaze, lost in thought.
When night fell and Lucas finally got his hands on the three flowers, he realized the situation was even messier than he'd imagined "Mr. Carter, how is it? Can we whip up an antidote te with th these?" one of his subordinates asked.
"Are you kidding? Mr. Carter is a genius! Plus, with the King Parasite, of course, he can crack this!" a female subordinate said, her tone light and unconcerned.

"I can't deal with this poison." "What?" The two subordinates widened their eyes in shock, clearly struggling to believe what they were hearing. Is there really something that could stump Mr. Carter? is this poison really that potent?" "Not even your King Parasite can handle it?" "No!" Lucas gritted his teeth and snapped, “Do you even know what kind of flower this is?" "What kind of flower?" The two subordinates leaned in to examine e the three blossoms closely. Thanks to their poison resistant parasites, they weren't worried about the toxins "Wait a second doesn't this look familiar? Haven't we seen it somewhere before?" Lucas sneered "Of course, it looks familiar. This is our clan's Sacred Flower." "The Sacred Flower? That's impossibler The Sacred Flower of their clan was supposed to be a miraculous cure, yet these three blossoms were nothing but deadly poison. How could this be the splant? "Mr. Carter, the shape of this flower does resen "Could there be smistaker Successfully unlocked! is clearly a poisonous bloom."
Lucas let out a bitter laugh, his gaze fixed on the three crimson Bloodshade Blossoms. There's no mistake. These flowers were poisoned from the start. They were watered with venom from the moment the seeds were planted. By the t 368 Chapter 3611 sprouted, they had already turned into poisonous blooms. Every part of them, from the roots to the buds, is laced with lethal toxins
So, it was not just the flower's poison, Benedict was poisoned by what Sophie had been preparing for him all along. The poison seeped into the flowers, which then carried it into the human body "This must be something Miss Case left behind." After hearing Lucas explain how the flowers were created, the two subordinates exchanged glances and immediately confirmed it.
"It's definitely what she did. I just didn't expect Sophie to have mastered parasites at such a young age." Yes, parasites
The method of using poison to Q cultivate the flowers was exactly the Case family's technique. What Sophie had learned. wasn't just poisoncraft, it was the parasites passed down from Eliza Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly at the thought П
