Chapter 415
Chapter 415 Alright .
Percival gave a slight nod and walked briskly out of the house , Callum following closely behind with a stack of documents .
The two moved quickly , their pace urgent .
Several bodyguards trailed behind , and three luxury cars sped off toward the main road , their engines roaring Odalys stood there , her eyes fixed on the disappearing cars .
For a long time , she stood unmoving , her mind somewhere far away .
Are you womed about him ? Evanders voice came from behind her , low and calni .
She hadnt heard him approach , but now he was standing beside her , following her gaze .
Percivals car was a small dot in the distance , soon lost to the horizon , Evander slowly turned his head , his eyes thoughtful , He didnt look well last night .
I suspect hes been consulting with Orson , looking for drugs to suppress his pulse .
His pulse seems normal , but in reality , his body is deteriorating rapidly , I need to find the right herbs quickly , or the poison I sealed in his body will resurface , and next time , it might kill him .
Odalys explained , her voice calm , as if she were discussing something trivial .
But Evander could hear the worry hidden beneath her composed tone .
She wasnt as unconcerned as she seemed .
Do you need me to help with finding the herbs ? Evander asked after a brief pause .
Or is there anything I can do to assist you ? Odalys shook her head , her expression serious .
No.
Ive already found someone who can help .
But you , Evander , need to stay put Dont go anywhere , not even for a short trip .
If anyone asks , refuse them .
No exceptions Her voice was firm , her eyes locking with his Dorian , who had been quietly listening from a distance , seemed to shrink back slightly , a sense of unease filling him .
Dont worry .
Mrs.
Stewart .
Ill make sure Ex Evander stays home .
No outside contact .
III keep a close watch on him , Dorian quickly assured her .
Evander sighed , shaking his head .
I dont need monitoring .
Ive already been cutting down on socializing .
Im not seeing anyone and wont be going anywhere Good Odalys s shoulders relaxed , and the tension in her chest slowly faded She grabbed her canvas bag , heading toward the door .
Without another word , she stepped into the car and drove off .
Her mind raced with thoughts of last nights negative energy at the Bennett Villa and the energy field at the Simpson Villa .
Her phone vibrated , breaking ng her from her thoughts .
.
It was a call she didnt need to answer , one she Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen , she didnt hesitate she immediately hung up .
knew was from someone within the Bennett family .
The Bennett family was in turmoil , their internal affairs a mess.
The only reason theyd contact her now was either to beg for help from the Stewart family or to manipulate her in some way emotional blackmail , draining her for what little she had left .
But she wasnt the same woman anymore .
ery last one of them were to perish , she wouldnt lose a second The Bennett family , and everything that came with it , had no place in her life .
If every of sleep .
She wouldnt lift a finger to help Her foot slammed down on the accelerator , her anger boiling over as she passed a sharp corner .
A car came out of nowhere , and she barely managed to jerk the wheel in time , swerving and slamming the brakes .
The tires screeched , and the Mercedes came to a halt by the side of the road .
She turned her head , her gaze locking onto Henry , who was stumbling toward her in an unkempt state , his face swollen and bearing the marks of exhaustion .
Two dark circles under his eyes , he limped toward her with a grimace .
Odalys didnt say a world .
She opened the car door and stepped out , her movement swift and decisive .
She took one step forward and kicked him hard in the stomach Henry , are you out of your mind ? Is it because I didnt beat you hard enough last time ? Youre itching for another round ? Odalys voice was sharp , laced with fury Henry barely reacted to the kick .
It was as if he were too numb to feel it .
1/2 11:44 PM 다 Chapter 415 Only after she finished yelling at him did he look up at her , way to save me , dont you ? : his gaze complicated .
His lips trembled before he spoke , his voice strained .
You have a You left the Bennett family because you knew it was going down , didnt you ? You left in a hurry because you saw the signs , right ? Henry continued .
his words rapid .
Now , look at us .
Everyone in the Bennett family is in trouble .
None of us are untouched .
Except for you .
You knew this would happen , but you didnt warn us .
Why ? Were family , Odalys .
Even if I treated you poorly before , isnt saving a life a good deed He paused his eyes narrowing slightly as he said , Tin giving you a chance to save me .
Just this one time .
Help me , and youll have a debt to collect .
His voice was almost demanding , as though it were a privilege for her to be offered the opportunity .
Odalys was so infuriated that she almost laughed .
She couldnt help herself , shaking her head in disbelief .
The audacity of this man was beyond words .
Tim sorry , she said coldly , her voice cutting through the air like ice .
I dont need any such opportunities .
Henry wasnt ready to give up .
He saw her turn to leave , and in a flash , he stepped around , blocking her path .
Wan ! he called out desperately .
You saved Caspian last night , didnt you ? So you cant just stand by and let us all fall apart .
If youre willing to help him , why not help us ? Were family ! He swallowed hard , his voice tinged with suspicion .
Edie married me , and now shes part of the Bennett family .
But I have doubts .
I think shes got ulterior motives .
I think shes trying to harm us , Odalys couldnt help but laugh again , her expression one of disbelief .
Really , Henry ? Do you even hear yourself ? she said , her voice dripping with sarcasm .
Youre the one who used her to get into the Stewart familys good graces .
You thought shed open doors for you , but shes failed .
Now , the Bennett family is in chaos , and youre looking for someone to blame .
She met his eyes with a sharp gaze , You cant even get into the Simpson family , and now youre regretting your quick marriage , suspecting shes using you ? Funny how that works .
Youre the one whos been using her from the star , she continued , her voice growing colder .
Youve been playing your own game .
Just like when you tried to ruin me on the internet .
If it werent for my luck , you wouldve succeeded .
I shouldve been buried in online harassment , and you would ve been the reason .
Dont think Ive forgotten that .
Her eyes narrowed .
Youre selfish , Henry .
Youre unworthy of any help .
Dont even think about asking for my mercy .
You were the one who pushed me to the edge , and now you think I owe you something ? Henry opened his mouth , but Odalys wasnt done .
Henrys face twisted with anger .
Odalys ! he shouted , his patience finally snapping .
He charged at her , reaching out to grab her am But Odalys reacted faster .
She lifted her foot and slammed it into his stomach with all her strength .
There was a sickening thud as his body flew backward , crashing into a nearby tree .
There was a sickening thud as his body flew backward , crashing into a nearby tree .
Henry staggered , gasping for breath , his chest heaving Blood sprayed from his mouth , and he collapsed to the ground , clutching his ribs .
