Chapter 460 Evander sat down , taking a sip of the cereal that had been handed to him .
If it werent for Edies scheming all those years ago .
Freya wouldnt have moved out , Evander murmured thoughtfully , nodding slightly .
But even now , since shes moved into the Stewart family , shes been playing by the rules , keeping her distance from Percival Without blood ties , people are always quick to turn things into rumors .
Freya and he spoke on the phone occasionally , but she rarely came to the Stewart Villa , and no one really knew about the connection between her and the family .
She never relied on them , either .
Anyone else wouldve failed to do that , Evander added , his tone reflective .
Dorian , who had been listening intently , sighed .
I wonder if Edie regrets marrying into the Bennett family .
From the looks of things , its a mess over there now .
Shes not going to gain anything from it .
It was clear to anyone with half a brain that Edies decision was a colossal mistake .
Speaking of which , the person you had me keep an eye on he came back from the mountain village .
I was watching him , but last night , Callums people let their guard down , and he managed to escape The Bennett Villa was empty last night , and after he went to the Bennett family , he took control of Hannah .
Now his people are staying there .
Should we go after him ? Dorian asked quietly , his tone cautious , Evander knew exactly who he was talking about .
This man had previously been the tailor for the Stewart family , creating all their custom clothes .
After Odalys arrived at the old house and pulled that dead mans clothes out of the pool , Evander had started suspecting something .
He wasnt old enough to lose his wits .
Since Percival has already made his move , let him stay with the Bennett family .
As long as he doesnt try to harm anyone from the Stewart family , he can keep his miserable life .
But if he dares to target Percival or Odalys ⦠Evanders eyes narrowed dangerously .
Then we kill him Dorian immediately nodded in understanding .
Evander mer his gaze , and the two exchanged a silent , knowing smile .
Old man .
Evander muttered , shaking his head .
Dorian chuckled and quietly served him more food .
up , Freya and Selah were already gone for In a hotel room in Film Capital , Odalys slept soundly until onc in n the afternoon .
When she finally woke up , Fr their shoot , leaving her alone in the bedroom .
Mm⦠She stretched lazily , enjoying the comfort of the bed before slowly getting up .
After washing up , she glanced at the clothes on the sofa As she picked them up , a small piece of paper slipped out .
It was Freyas handwriting .
Odalys , I washed your clothes and got you a new set .
Love your Odalys stared at the note for a moment before her gaze shifted to the black camisole in her hands .
A soft silence followed .
She slipped into the black camisole , which highlighted her beautiful collarbones and delicate shoulders .
It wasnt overly revealing , but it perfectly outlined her slender waist and enhanced her graceful figure .
The silk fabric gave her an almost ethereal glow .
Her long hair was casually tied in a low ponytail as she picked up her canvas bag and headed toward the door .
Just as she opened it , she saw a tall figure standing in the living room .
The mans back was turned as he gazed down through the floor to ceiling windows .
Percival ? What are you doing here ? Odalys asked , stepping forward lightly .
1/3 7:35 AM & d Chapter 160 Hearing her voice .
Percival slowly turned around .
His eyes met hers , and for a moment , he froze , his gaze lingering on her beautiful black camisole .
the soft curve of her shoulders , and the faint fragrance she carried .
She moved like a gentle breeze , stirring something deep inside him .
As she smiled at him , his throat tightened .
I thought something might have happened here , so I came to check on you Percival said , his voice awkward .
His gare dropped to her collarbones , and he instinctively turned his face away , unable to look directly at her .
Odalys blinked in surprise , slowly realizing what mustve happened .
It seemed like whatever occurred here last night had already made its way into the public eye It wasnt a surprise police involvement would naturally lead to some kind of report .
Yes , something did happen last night , Odalys confirmed .
She explained the events in detail and Percival listened in silence .
But just as the conversation seemed to settle , a lazy voice cut through the air .
So , someones targeting Francis now ? Orsons voice was casual as he leaned against the couch , his posture completely relaxed .
Odalys turned in surprise , finding him stretched out on the sofa , one leg raised and resting on the coffee table .
His air of carefree arrogance was unmistakable .
Orson , what are you doing here ? Odalys asked , a hint of surprise in her voice .
Though Orson often followed Percival around , it wasnt unusual for him to be nearby when Percival was around .
So , his presence here made sense in that context , Percival came to check on you , but I also had something to discuss , so I tagged along .
Orson said with a shrug , quickly retracting his leg from the table .
He stood up , holding an iPad in his hand and walked toward Odalys , handing it to her .
This is a list of people Olivers been in contact with over the past month , along with his movements .
Our people have pinpointed a small alley where we suspect hes hiding .
I didnt want to send anyone in yet , though , in case we alert him .
As Orson mentioned the alley , Odalys couldnt help but remember the old man she had seen rushing toward the same alley a while back , ultimately entering a quadrangle courtyard that had been subtly altered to contain an energy field .
Is this the place ? Odalys asked , opening a photo on her phone .
Orson leaned over , took a quick glance at the photo , and nodded .
Yes , this is the one .
He headed into a courtyard further inside .
It seems like Oliver knows the old tailor from the mountain village .
No wonder his son died at the Bennet Villa he was trying to time it perfectly Odalys muttered with a sharp laugh .
Everything was starting to make sense now .
No wonder Olivers been so smooth in Crownridges upper circles , Looks like the old tailor has been helping him out behind the scenes , Odalys added , her voice tinged with irony .
Are they really acquainted ? My people never reported them meeting Orson scratched his head , confused .
He was beginning to feel that everyone involved in this situation was far more complicated than he had initially thought .
is the problem , Odalys said .
This man is all about revenge .
Why hasnt he teamed up with anyone ? Hes been working alone , which is Not meeting is t strange .
The people who blend in the most are often the most dangerous .
Oh , and remember when you told me to let Finnian go ? Well , after I did , I had people keep an eye on him .
Last night , Sophia was quietly pulled out of the police station by someone .
Finnian mustve been tracking me , but instead , he ran into Sophia .
After injuring her , he took her away .
Orson shared the latest news in a low voice , adding yet another layer to the complex web they were all tangled in .
