Chapter 433 You havent contacted her in over twenty years , and suddenly , you reappear , and now weve had a fling its clear we both got what we needed ; Henry and flaily He laid the matter out plainly , and Edies face darkened even more .
140 She had thought Henry was casy to manipulate , but now , under his gaze , her confidence began in wwer .
Today Henry fel like a completely different person .
Was he just pretendling before , Juring her into his trap ! Or had he been hiding his true self all along Til make time .
Edie said siffly , her voice sharps She slammed the car door with a resounding bang , turning on her heel and striding away without a backward glance .
Henry sat behind the wheel , absentmindedly tracing the wound from yesterday , a bruise left by both Edie and Quinton .
He spat out of the window , cursing , before taking a leaf from the air and tossing it aside with an angry flick , Mom , its me .
Henry said , dialing his phone .
On the other end , he listened for a moment before replying , his voice growing colder .
Tve had people tailing Dad .
Just as you suspected , somethings off .
Ever since he came back from overseas , its like hes a completely different person These years , he lived abroad , not returning for three whole years .
Now , hes back , trying to divorce you and deliberately sleeping with Sophia .
He got an agenda .
Whether hes really Windsor or not doesnt matter.
Since hes back in Crownridge , Ill make sure he pays the price for what hes Dont worry , the Bennett Group will never fall into his hands Henry ended the call with a finality that made it clear there was no room for nrgotuation .
His eyes flashed with cold determination a look only someone in power could possess .
Since Sophias scandal and the variety show failure , the Bennett Group had been spiraling downhill , and it seemed irreversible .
Now , though they appeared unned , the family was more like a house of cards , ready to crumble .
Edies hasty marriage , the Simpson familys strike , Windsors return and divorce everything seemed like a string of coincidences , yet it all pointed .
to something more sinister , a plot that had caught him off guard .
After hanging up .
Henry drove off , his mind running through a hundred scenarios .
Across the street , at a smoothie shop , Odalys rested her cheek on her hand , sipping lemon water , her gaze following Henrys departure before she tumed her attention back to Orson Finians got his eyes on Henry , Orson said , taking a sip of his coffee .
Odalys ran her finger around the rim of her glass , picking up a slice of lemon and biting into it .
The bitter t Laste e spread across her tongue .
The more chaos within The Bennett family , the better .
Theyre so suspicious of each other now , especially with Windsors divorce .
Henrys not letting go of The Bennen Group , so hell definitely want to kick Windsor out Now , its up to Windsor whether hes a man or a ghost .
If the Bennett family remains divided , the conflict will bring out the people hiding in the shadow Who was it that suggested The Bennett family get rid of me , either by sending me away or killing me , and then adopt Sophia to pave the way for bert If I can uncover dat person , the real show will begin , Odalys said , her tone sharp Orsons fingers twisted persoudy .
Although they sat casually drinking coffee , he couldnt shake the discomfort he felt around Odalys .
There was something unnerving about her presence Odalys , Percival went to the Simpson valla .
Do you think hes in danger ? Orson asked , his curiosity bubbling up despite his anxiety , He Odalys had a knack for magic she often foresaw things before they happened He knew Orson held his breath , waiting .
When Odalys finally stopped drawing circles and slowly stood up , he let out a breath he didnt realize he was holding .
1/2 Chapter 433 After gathering all the patient data from the high society families , send use a detailed report .
Also , keep an eye on Edie .
Find out what she wants from The Bennett family .
And find a way to get her alone with Windsor .
Make Hannah jealous .
When two old friends start to doubt each other , its bound to drag out more secrets , Odalys continued , her voice low and calculated .
Sophia was able to pressure Edie into setting the fire on me , which means shes listening to Sophia .
Doesnt that strike you as odd ? Edie definitely knows more than shes letting on .
It was as though someone was using sleight of hand to obscure the truths , to make it impossible to see what was really happening .
The situation felt clouded , like an intricate webs someone had woven in the background , and Odalys wasnt about to dig too deep she preferred to wait and let her enemies expose themselves , Got it , Orson replied , nodding quickly .
Odalys began to walk away , but after two steps , she stopped and turned back .
Til handle Percivals safety .
Dont worry about him .
Your only task is to keep your eyes on Edie .
Also , find Oliver .
We need him , she said firmly .
Orson , who had been preparing to pay the bill , noticed something strange .
The spot where Odalys had been drawing circles on the table was it … changing ? What is is this ? Orson muttered in shock .
He quickly stood up , moving to her seat and bending down to inspect the table .
What had been a vague circle was now a clear drawing something resembling a map .
Orsons throat tightened as he stared , utterly stunned .
He hadnt expected a random doodle to turn into something so intricate .
It was like a map , with unmistakable details .
He quickly pulled out his phone , snapping a picture before wiping the water stains away , acting as if nothing had happened .
He paid for the drinks and rushed out of the cafe , his mind racing- Odalys really is incredible , Orson muttered under his breath .
Being around her always felt suffocating , but he knew it was a blessing that he was on her good side .
If anyone else had to deal with her , they wouldnt last a second.
Not because she was scary , but because she was too clever for anyone to keep up with .
She made men hesitant to get too close.
He grinned , his handsome face lighting up as he casually whistled and headed for his car .
He was just about to start the engine when his phone vibrated .
Seeing Percivals name on the screen , he quickly picked up Orson , its me , Percivals voice came through , sounding strained .
Did you make it to the Simpson villa ! I just met with Odalys .
Hows everything there ? Orson asked , barely able to contain his excitement .
He wasnt usually a gossip , but now , he couldnt help but want to share everything .
The Simpson villa doesnt exist .
Its deep in the mountains , an abandoned graveyard like a mass burial ground .
You need to get someone to protect Odalys , right now , Percival said urgently .
I dont know whats coming , but everything feels off .
Ive got the feeling that someones setting a huge trap one thats meant for her .
What ?! Odalys just left , Orson said , his voice shaking .
He had never heard Percival so frantic before .
His own heart began to race .
If Odalys was in danger , he couldnt afford to waste another second .
Вел E years ag ore .
