No need , she said with a calm tone .
Lets settle things with the Bernei Tamuly ħrst Well eat afterward .
she chewed the biscuit slowly , the crisp , savory flavor spreading in her mouth .
As she reached for another bite , Percival handed her a cup of coffee , ( she drank two quick sips in succession .
The car finally pulled up in front of the Bennett Villa .
Til handle this : You dont need to follow me , Odalys said as she opened the car door .
As she moved to get out , Percival started to follow , but she quickly raised her hand to stop him .
Percival furrowed his brows , his voice low and husky .
You dont want anyone to see us together ! Though his tone was softer than usual , there was an unmistakable hint of displeasure .
int her connection with Percival , but Odalys seemed intent Even Callum seemed confused .
If it were any other woman , shed be eager to flaunt keeping a distance .

This level of darkness its not nor Wait , Percival said quickly , grabbing her wrist as the started to step out of the car .
He held her hund firmly , not letting gu Odalys turned to look at him in confusion .
Percival , with a grave expression , passed her a file .
When you participated in that variety show , the Bennett family sent someone up the mountain , hoping to find your master .
They likely wanted to kidnap him , but the terrain was unfamiliar , and their bodyguards were all wiped out If you go into the Bennett family now , they might not let you leave easily .
And their goal isnt just the emerald pendant youre holding Percivals voice was serious , laden with concern He had wanted to warn her last night but hadnt she had been exhausted .
But now , seeing her headed straight for the Bennett Villa , he knew he had to speak up .
Even if he stayed outside , he couldnt guarantee that she wouldnt be caught in their trap .
I understand .
Odalys whispered , nodding slowly She had barely spoken the words when Percival released her wrist , though his worry didnt fade As Odalys walked toward the villa , she couldnt help but smirk internally .
The Bennett family thought they could take her muster ! Radiculous .
They Jad no idea what they were dealing with .
Her master might be old , but those bodyguards couldnt even get hear him The door to the Bennett Villa wasnt even closed , and she could already hear Henrys furious voice inside .

Sophia sat there , her eyes swollen from crying , as she whimpered .

Of course , shes going to look down on the Bennett family .
Shes married into the Stewart family .
Even if that old man is dying shes sull the young mistress of the Stewart family .
If she wanted to kill she could do it with rase I dont want may brothers getting angry at her because of me .

Does she really think were all dead ? she hissed .
Shes openly trying to suppress you its an insult to the Hennett familys honor ! Go , right now, and call her .
Tell her to get back here .
Just as she finished speaking , the sound of heavy footsteps echoed from outside .
Everyone froze , turning their heads in unison .
There , standing in the doorway , was Odalys , She wore rugged work pants and black combat boots , her posture confident and fearless .
Her sharp features and piercing gaze locked onto them , the cold mockery clear in her eyes .
Well ? Whats the matter ? Cat got your tongues Odalys voice was icy , every word dripping with contempt .
She stepped forward , grabbing Sophia by the arm and yanking her off the couch .
Looks like I didnt teach you enough of a lesson .
You really think you can slander people just because youre making things up ! she sneered .
Her actions stunned everyone into silence .
up .
but she found herself unable to move .
It felt like her legs were broken , her body unable to respond to her commands .
Hannah tried to get up Odalys , what do you think youre doing ? Let her go Hannah shouted , her voice filled with fury .
But before she could finish her sentence , Odalys slapped Sophia across the face .
The crack of the impact was loud , and Sophias lip split open , blood trickling down her face as she was thrown to the floor .
Odalys clapped her hands , her gaze cold and commanding as she looked down at the fallen Sophia .
Well ? No more words ? I thought your skin was thick enough to keep talking , but now youre silent .
Sophia remained frozen , too stunned to respond , It was like the slap had knocked the wind out of her , and she couldnt move or speak .
Odalys , are you out of your mind ? You can bully her outside , but here ? In the house ? Henry bellowed , storming toward her .
He raised his hand , ready to strike , but before he could make contact , Odalys caught his wrist in one swift movement , her eyes freez eyes freezing as she glared at him .
Henry froze , a chill running down his spine .
His eyes widened in shock .
Before he could react, Odalys grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and drove it straight into his palm .
A sickening scream escaped Henrys throat as the knife pierced through his hand , pinning it to the leather sofa .
Blood gushed from his wound , dripping onto the couch , staining it red , Ah , you ! Atlas yelped , his face pale as he watched the blood pour from Henrys hand The thick scent of iron flooded the room , making everyones stomach churn Hannah was speechless , her eyes burning with rage as she witnessed Odalys audacity .
She almost couldnt breathe from her fury ..
Odalys ! You filthy bitch ! Youve severed all ties with the Bennett family , and yet you have the nerve to come back and hit us ! You filthy whore , I swear Ill kill you ! Hannah hissed , trying to lunge at her .
But her body , bruised and broken , refused to cooperate .
She couldnt even stand , let alone attack .
Henry , his hand impaled on the sofa , collapsed onto the floor , his eyes staring in disbelief at the knife embedded in his hand .
Was this a nightmare ? Was Odalys really capable of doing this to him ?
