Chapter 258 This was the Stewart familys turf .
Odalys had just gone out and confronted Edie , and Percival must have known .
Odalys lowered her head and remained silent for a moment She spoke calmly , Your mother and Hannah go way back .
I just caught a glimpse through the floor to ceiling window , and I could sense there was some rutura tion between us .
I could see her hatred for me .
That means the person who secretly pushed the Bennett family to abuse and beat me , and ultimately abandon me , was your mother .
Edie .
Tm their biological daughter .
I had always wondered why the Bennett family abandoned me , even tortured me , and then cast me aside .
Just now , when I saw your mother , I realized the reason .
I understood why the woman you married ended up being me .
It was all orchestrated by your mother behind the scenes So in this life , your life and death are in my hands .
If I want you dead , you wont live , Odalys voice remained calm as if she were speaking about something ordinary Percival fell silent , then slowly stood and walked toward her .
He stopped in front of her , stood there for a long time , and then said in a deep voice , Tve already said this .
As long as she oppresses you or goes after you , you can handle it however you want 1 just got off the phone , and they mentioned your mother might have known Hannah from the past .
contact My people have already looked into it .
The year you were abandoned , my mother had a falling out with the Bennett family and cut off all co with them .
5o .
I never knew she had that connection with them .
Im sorry that she incited the Bennett family togbuse your Percivals voice was hoarse .
After he finished the call , he was eager to find her , but she was already gone .
He was frantic , but as soon as he got downstairs , he happened to run into her returning When Percival heard Odalys self mocking words just now , he couldnt help but feel uneasy .
In a low voice , he said .
You dont need to apologize for what youve done , and you certainly dont need to think that Ill take the other side because of it .
Im always on your side .
It was like that before , it is like that now , and it will always be He reached out , intending to p pat her head , but his hand stopped halfway through the air .
After a brief silence , he slowly withdrew his hand .
Hey , I thought you might think Im cruel Odalys suddenly felt a lot lighter .
Odalys didnt like being at odds with others .
She was direct and decisive , never holding grudges .
If she had an enemy , she had to settle it face to face .
When Odalys saw Edie earlier , she had already wanted to go down and teach her a lesson By the way , the bodyguards sent word .
Brandon wants to see you .
Percival quickly shifted the conversation to something else .
He moved aside to give her room to pass , and Odalys headed upstairs , with Percival following behind her .
He wants to see me because he wants to figure out exactly what we know and what could work in his favor .
As long as he denies everything and thunks we cant do anything about it ⦠Odalys said .
Fercival murmured .
Thats why I had my people bypass him and go straight after Rafael .
Maybe we can hear something different from him .
I think so , Odalys replied quietly .
Their plan was to leave Bandon and Keylor in the dark , not to press them , nor interrogate them .
After spending enough time in a dark basement .
their mental state would begin to Eventually , Brandon and Keylor would beg them to ask questions .
Odalys was a master at paychological warfare .
Its getting late : You should rest , Percival said when he noticed it Odalys seemed a little tired .
Odalys stood outside her bedroom door , pushing it open , when something seemed to come to her mind .
1/2 Charter 238 She peeked over at Percival and said .
By the way , tell Mr.
Stewart to come home early Got it Percival replied in a low voler phone and called Evander , passing on Odalys message to have him home early .
After Odalys closed the door behind her , Percival took out his p Understood .
Ill be home soon .
Evander said .
After ending the call .
Percival lifted his foot and headed toward the bedroom .
Once Odalys returned to her room , she went into the bathroom for a quick shower .
After drying her hair , she lay down .
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep , her phone vibrated .
She glanced at her phone , which had been charging on the side , and , seeing it was fully charged , immediately unplugged it .
Selah whats gone on Odalys asked , her voice weary .
She wasnt exhausted from the days events , but she had used magic tonight , and it drained her energy so much that she couldnt bring herself to Odalys , did ; you see the news ! Its all over trending .
Theyre saying Mr.
Stewart is dead ! Selah asked , holding her breath , speaking cautiously .
After all , the other day , when they were in the car , they had heard Odalys call out to Percival .
The whole situation had stuck in their minds .
When Selah saw the trending news that Percival was dead , she immediately called Odalys .

What happens to the elite family ? ] , and [ Shock ! Percival , unmarried , has passed away ] Staring at these headlines , Odalys fell silent and thought she must be seeing somed someone wrong .
She had never seen such absurd news before .
Odalys sat up against the headboard , holding her phone , and after a while , stood up and walked next door .
She knocked on Percivals door , which opened to reveal him holding his own phone , seemingly browsing the news .
Odalys quickly extended her phones screen to him .
Their new uying youre dead , Odalys said , biting her lip to stop herself from laughing .
What will be think when be seen the news about his own death she wondered .
Percival replied .
It is something I expected .
