Chapter 585 Freya was still frozen when another figure rushed in from behind .
Selahs gaze landed on Percivals turned profile , and she quickly moved to cover Freyas eyes .
Children shouldnt see this go ahead .
Mr.
Stewart .
What ? Odalys turned at the noise .
She realized the door to the suite had already been shut , and Percival was no longer brushing her hair .
He raised his hands with a shrug .
Still in the mood to keep going ? Not anymore .
se .
Lets wrap it up , Odalys replied , They had only come to see the Bennett family embarrass themselves .
With that spectacle over and everyone gone , there was no reason to stay .
Odalys picked up a drink from the side table and downed it in one gulp , only to realize something was off a moment later .
She paused , frowning at the burning sensation in her throat , then sniffed the glass .
Wait , was this alcohol ? Odalys asked , her voice laced with disbelief .
Her eyes widened , and she blinked rapidly as her throat burned .
Her mouth was parched .
Percival noticed her empty glass .
Stepping forward , he quickly poured her a glass of water .
That was Franciss drink .
He poured it earlier -Why didnt he take it with him ? I thought it was juice , Odalys muttered , her expression sour .
The faint fruity aroma had fooled her when she picked it up .
She hadnt expected it to be alcohol .
Percival watched as she drained the water and , with a touch of concern , lightly pressed his palm to her forehead Do you feel okay ? Dizzy ? Should we try to make you throw it up ! Its fine , she said .
It was only a sip .
I dont feel anything Odalys stood , set the glass down , and began walking toward the door .
She felt great , almost energized like a surge of vitality was coursing through her body .
Selah finally let go of Freya outside the suite after closing the door behind them .
Freyas eyes sparkled with curiosity .
Was Mr.
Stewart stroking Odalyss hair just now ? I didnt know he could be so gentle .
Freya thought , I mightve seen even more if Selah hadnt barged in Selah caught her expression and rolled her eyes .
Theyre a real couple .
If he werent a little tender , shed have run off by now .
Shh , lets sneak another look .
Maybe hell kiss her this time , Freya whispered , nudging Selah as they crept toward the suite door .
Freya cracked the door open slightly , just enough to peek through , but the door swung open fully before she could get a proper look .
Percivals tall frame loomed in the doorway , his sharp eyes sweeping over the two guilty faces .
What are you two doing ? Percival asked , his voice deep and dry .
The sound of his voice above her made Freya freeze .
She looked up, locking eyes with Percivals dark , narrowed gaze , and shivered under his intense scrutiny Uh ⦠M My stomach hurts ! Selah was helping me .
Freya stammered , clutching her abdomen as she tried to sound convincing .
Selah picked up on the cue , hurriedly wrapping an arm around Freya .
Yeah , she mustve eaten something bad .
Ill take her to find a restroom .
You two carry on were blind .
Id know they had just ut been Percival watched them retreat down the hall , his forehead creased in exasperation .
He thought , Even if I we caught spying and were now trying to flee Behind him .
Odalys leaned out , grabbing his sleeve and tugging him toward the door .
Where are you going ? Wait for me ! the called as she strode after them .
Percival followed close behind , descending the stairs to the nightclub floor .
As they arrived , the entire room fell silent .
Conversations halted , eyes turned their way , and a few even averted their gaze , uneasy .
1/3 Chapter 585 Who is that ? Shl , I heard its Percival .
Wasnt he supposed to be dead ? Whats Percival doing here ? Could it have something to do with Henry ? Hey , Freya and Selah are there too Wait , its Odalys ! Shes incredible ! If Id known she was upstairs , Ed have asked her to read my financial future .
Some onlookers whispered excitedly , while others openly admired her .
Odalys , could you tell me about my love life Td like to know about my financial future A group of fans surged forward , led by a middle aged man who looked to be in his fifties .
His thinning hair and missing front teeth gave him a slightly disheveled appearance , and the ruby necklace around his neck marked him as Elias .
Sorry , shes had too much to drink , Percival said smoothly .
He slid his arm around Odalys slim waist , a subtle but unmistakable claim of ownership .
Though Odalys had only had a small amount of alcohol , she still felt perfectly clear headed no dizziness or discomfort .
As Percival guided her out , they passed the middle aged man Suddenly , Odalys stopped and looked him square in the eye .
You should head home , she said bluntly .
If you dont , your mothers going to die Keylor froze , the grin on his face stiffening .
His hand , toying with his ruby necklace , stopped abruptly .
The comment rattled him ; he hadnt expected her to say something so ominous out of nowhere .
What the hell ! Thats such bad luck to hear this late at night What did she just say ! Someones ab about to die ? I heard she never makes that remark unless its serious .
Maybe his mother is on her deathbed .
Wheres his house ! I want to see if shes right .
A few bystanders immediately chimed in , their curiosity piqued .
In a matter of seconds , the crowds attention had shifted entirely .
The middle- aged man stood there , stunned , as a few people pressed him .
Where do you live ? Well come along and check .
Yeah , lets go to your house ! others chimed in , eager to follow .
The nightclub , previously buzzing with activity , emptied as people rushed out to join the spectacle.
Even a few fans , initially intent on seeing Freya and Stellan , were now chasing after them .
The once crowded venue was suddenly empty , leaving only the boss behind , stunned What it the h hell happened to my club ! Where is everyone ? he muttered , his heart aching at the sight of the deserted dance floor .
He couldnt believe his entire crowd had vanished .
He thought .
Have my performers lost their appeal ! Theyre not even as popular as a few celebrities and star readings ? Still , he didnt dare say this out loud .
Meanwhile , Percival carried Odalys out , noting her slightly unsteady steps .
Before she could take another stumble , he scooped her into his arms .
As Odalys is fell against his chest , her cheek brushed against him , and she caught his heartbeats steady , powerful rhythm .
Huh , whats this ? Its brating O Odalys murmured Her hand pressed lightly against his chest , curiously feeling the warmth there .
Then she gave an absentminded tug , and with a faint ripping sound , his shirt parted , revealing his firm , sculpted chest .
She stared for a moment slightly dazed .
Percival , youve got so much hair , she murmured , her gaze fixed on him Womens skin was typically soft and smooth , but Percivals was exceptionally well kept .
His body , naturally more muscular and defined , had a different appeal .
She leaned closer , her gaze fixed on his chest , and instinctively swallowed hard .
