Chapter 406 He stepped in to find a chance to bail her out , exposing the Simpson familys connections in the process , which allowed Lee to take advantage and eliminate their people * Other than vouching for Edie , he didnt make contact with anyone .
Hes been holed up in the study , refusing to speak with anyone from the Simpson family .
My uncle .
Quinton , is involved Percivals voice was firm He knew Quinton too well .
The man was always craving attention , flaunting his relationship with the Stewart family , hosting parties to network with important figures , trying to climb the social ladder .
Hut now , he was acting low key , keeping to himself , which only raised suspicions .
When Windsor came back , he immediately slept with Sophia and then quickly divorced Hannah .
But Quinton hes acting like a completely different person , staying locked away in his study .
It doesnt add up Thats whats bothering me , Percival continued .
It makes sense now , Windsor may have broken his vow , but the way things are developing seems different Could it be … that Windsor and Quinton spent three years together abroad , and during that time , they swapped places ? They might have kept a little of their original selves intact , which could explain why Windsor came back and went straight for Sophia .
In other words , what if the Simpson family wanted to get rid of Windsor because of Sophia ? Its just like when Sophia was little after they tortured her , changing her face and sending her to the Bennett family to replace me as their daughter .
Sophia might be the key , Odalys said, her voice trembling .
The more she thought about it , the more the pieces seemed to fit .
The theory was becoming disturbingly plausible .
So the key point is Sophial Percival asked .
My sources found out that tonight , Windsor used his connections to meet Finnian at the hospital , and they both went in to see Sophia .
They even had relations in the hospital room .
Percival added , his expression stiffening .
He gripped his phone tightly , his fingers momentarily tense .
After all , discussing something like this with a twenty year old woman made him uncomfortable .
His face flushed slightly , and he turned his head away to hide i Lets assume Windsor was lured abroad by Quinton , and they stayed there for three years , Windsor might have something they want Or maybe they need to get rid of Windsor , Odalys suggested , her mind racing .
The more she analyzed it , the more she realized her suspicions had a foundation .
I keep my people on them , Percival said .
He dialed Callum , instructing him to keep an eye on Windsor and Finnian .
He wanted to know what the two would do after leaving the hospital Once the call was made , Percival set the phone aside , and the car fell into an uneasy silence .
Odalys twiddled her fingers , lost in her thoughts .
Ive got something on Finnian , Odalys said suddenly .
Remember that surgery I did on him ? If he touches water , his body will start rotting and eventually kill him , So , well make sure he cant leave the hospital .
As soon as it starts to rain , hell have no choice but to stay inside Then Windsor will be left alone .
We can see if he goes back to the Bennett Villa or heads somewhere else .
Her excitement was palpable .
She quickly pulled out a piece of paper , sprinkled it with magic dust , and began drawing .
The lines of the talisman came to life in seconds .
She rolled down the window and muttered a few words under her breath .
The talismun flew from her fingertips , and as it soared into the sky , the dark clouds above rumbled ominously At that moment .
Windsor and Finnian came down from the hospitals upper floor , standing in the lobby , about to head outside .
The rain came pouring down , like a curtain falling from the sky .
1/2 11.43 PM Chapter 406 Finnian , who had been about to step outside , froze in fear .
He recoiled , his eyes wide as he stared at the downpour .
He thought back to Odalyss warning .
A man like him , who cherished his life , wasnt going to take any chances .
Youre not going ? Windsor asked , raising an eyebrow .
Finnians eyes were red , his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles whitened .
He watched the rain intensify , and then , with a quick step back , he retreated to a corner .
Til stay here and keep an eye on Sophia , Finnian quickly made up an excuse .
I dont want her sneaking out or doing something that could harm Windsor nodded in agreement .
Fine .
Stay with her , but make sure she doesnt contact anyone else .
As long as we control her , its good for us .
With that .
Windsor opened the door , shielded himself with an umbrella , and strode out into the night , his figure quickly swallowed by the rain .
Finnian stood still , his eyes fixed on the direction Windsor had gone .
What a monster , Finnian muttered under his breath , his lip curling with disgust .
He cant even leave his adopted daughter alone .
Youre no better than me .
If I wasnt desperate , Id never associate with a scum like you .
He spat , his thoughts darkening .
As he imagined returning to the Lark family and making Orsons life a living hell , a sick thrill washed over him .
Finnian shuddered , then turned and headed back upstairs .
It was clear he was going to check on Sophia Percival , who had been watching the scene unfold , let out a quiet sigh .
It looks like he really is afraid of water , Percival remarked , his tone thoughtful .
I never doubted you , Odalys , but seeing it with my own eyes is something else .
One life , Odalys replied , unfazed .
He doesnt want to risk it .
Shall we follow Windsor and see where hes going ? She sat back in her seat , arms crossed , her expression calm .
Shed seen far worse , especially from someone like Finnian , who had tried to use her for his own purposes .
Percival glanced at her , concern flickering in his eyes .
Are you He hadnt started the car yet .
He was more worried about her health shed been running around all day , and he wasnt s body could take .
Plus , the energy shed expended drawing that talisman couldnt have been easy .
sure how much more her Tm fine , Odalys said .
Lets follow him .
I need to see if hes headed back to the Bennett Villa or somewhere else .
My instincts are telling me somethings off .
The excitement in her voice was undeniable .
Percival didnt argue .
Whatever she needed , he would be there .
He started the car and drove off , following Windsors vehicle as it veered toward the Bennett Villa .
Odalys watched the car in front of them , her brow furrowed in thought Could it be I was just overthinking things ? Odalys thought .
