Chapter 584 He carried himself like a man of great authority , his compostire steady and unshaken .
Having received instructions from Percival , the nightclub boss initially intended to throw out the Bennett family .
However , when Percivals people stopped him and clarified that their presence was allowed , the boss dared not interfere further .
Meanwhile , Windsor ascended the stairs and pushed open the door to the number one suite .
As he stepped inside , he radiated an air of dominance , and the usual shadow of gloom in his expression had lifted somewhat Lets head downstairs for a drink , Freya said quickly , sensing the tension .
She grabbed Selahis arm and begin steering her out of the room , glancing at Stellan and Francis as she passed .
Whatever brought Windsor here , Odalys could handle it , but the rest of them being present might only complicate matters .
Good idea .
Lets go have some fun , Stellan agreed .
The group hurned out , carefully closing the door behind them The number one suite held only Percival , Odalys , and Windsor , Windsor lingered near the doorway while Odalys and Percival leaned casually against the window .
The three of them exchanged glances , the silence stretching .
No one made the first move to speak .
Odalys , Windsor finally said , breaking the tension .
Im your father .
Odalys fixed him with a piercing stare , her gaze sharp and questioning , but she remained silent .
My soul it was taken , Windsor began urgently .
Three years ago , someone paid to have me killed .
I refused , but then the Simpson family lured me out of the country .
To escape their threats , I went abroad with them .
What I didnt expect was that the person behind the plot to kill me was someone from the Simpson family .
They locked me up overseas for three years , and eventually , my spirit was pulled from my body .
I couldnt return to it , no matter what I tried Everything I did before it wasnt my true intent .
I wasnt in control of myself , Windsor said desperately .
Odalys remained silent , her expression neutral .
She neither confirmed nor denied her belief in his words , i a reason we sent you away back The Bennett family is in chaos right now , and youre the only one who can save it , Windsor continued .
There was a rea then , but I cant tell you about it yet .
Just remember dont trust anyone from the Bennet family .
Not even Hannah , he went on .
Shes fallen under the sway of Oliver and Brandon .
And Sophia shes no good either .
Shes capable of draining other peoples fortune .
Hearing this , Odalys finally raised her gaze to meet his ⦠Windsor stood firm , undeterred by whether she believed him or not .
If you can , stay out of the Bennett familys affairs .
Disaster is coming , and I cant protect your brother and the others Youre the only hope for the Bennett family now , he said .
I dont want to die and leave behind a family without a future .
So Im asking you stay out of it .
Let them meet their fate .
Odalys stepped forward , her sharp , clear eyes locked on him with a piercing gaze , So , which version of you is the real one ? she asked , her voice as cold as ice .
Windsor didnt reply .
Odalys moved closer .
He remained still , exuding a mature presence that lacked the ruthless greed he once displayed .
Three years ago , you u slept with Sophia , she said bluntly .
Windsor felt a wave of embarrassment .
After all , Odalys was only twenty .
Having a young wonin Mung woman mention such at othing left him uneasy .
Someday , youll understand .
I dont want to prove myself , but you must know that what happens in the Bennett family isnt your responsibility .
Let them face their destruction , he said .
With that , he turned and walked to the door .
Why do you want to protect me ? Odalys asked as he reached for the handle .
1/2 Chapter 581 Because youre my daughter , Windsor said .
Windsor shut the door behind him with a sharp clack , leaving Odalys and Percival alone in the suite .
Odalys didnt follow him .
Instead , she pulled out a chair and sat downL His demeanor and words are nothing like Windsor , who came back from abroad .
Percival observed , his tone thoughtful .
He thought .
Even if someone performs an act .
its impossible to be completely flawless ! I think I understand now .
Odalys replied quietly .
Percival raised an eyebrow and quickly stepped forward , sitting across from her .
Wasnt he setting up that trap out pout in the countryside today ? Later , I destroyed it , and he and Oliver must have suffered some backlash .
After that , his body took a hit , Odalys said .
While I was at the hotel , I performed a ritual from afar and kicked him .
Maybe by accident .
I knocked whatever was attached to him right out .
His survival instinct is strong , so hes back for now Shed already noticed the dark presence lurking within Windsor was gone .
So , for now , this is the real Windsor ? Percival asked ..
Odalys nodded .
But he wont last long .
Once the other side regains its strength , itll take over again Odalys thought .
Sometimes when people change , its not that theyve transformed completely it could be something has taken over .
And sometimes its not ghosts or spirits ; sometimes its their own shadow Whether or not hes real Windsor doesnt matter to us , Odalys continued .
He exposed Sophias true colors in public , and when Henry wakes up , hell stop at nothing to go after her .
Tm waiting for Sophia to face the consequences , Odalys said .
Percival stayed silent , quietly peeling an orange and handing it to her .
Odalys took the fruit and ate as she walked over to the window .
What do you think will happen now that Windsor knocked Sophia out ? Odalys asked , taking another bite ..
Percival poured her a glass of water , handed it to her , and followed her gaze .
Wasnt Caspian meeting with that Elias who wants a posthumous marriage for his son ! he said .
I imagine Sophias unconscious state is the perfect opportunity for that kind of ceremony .
Odalys didnt reply .
Her attention shifted to the scene below .
She saw Atlas helping Henry while Caspian hoisted Sophia onto his shoulder .
They headed out without resistance from the nightclub boss .
Seeing the familys tense dynamic , the other patrons refrained from interfering .
No one wanted to get caught in the Bennett familys drama .
Most people here were businesspeople , and with Crownridge in chaos , they preferred To stay out of trouble .
Besides , their attention had shifted to Stellan , the Drake familys business was now aligned with the Stewart family .
Odalys .
Freyas voice called out as she came up the stairs with a glass of wine .
She pushed open the door , only to see Percival gently running his fingers through Odalys hair .
His touch was so soft it was as if he was handling a precious treasure .
Freya stood frozen completely caught off guard , suddenly certain shed chosen the wrong moment to enter .
