Chapter 507 Edies crazed expression froze , her face contorted as she stared at Odalys .
What does this have to do with a Love Spell : Odalys , explain yourself ! she demanded in a flustered tone .
But Odalys ignored her , calmly turning to walk away .
Edie stepped forward , wanting to pursue her , but Percival moved to stand in front of Odalys , blocking Edie with a cold gaze .
You secretly manipulated things behind my back , transferring part of the Stewart familys assets , he said in a deep voice .
He added .
I had everything audited .
The Simpson family took 3 billion dollars in cash equivalents from the Stewart family and 79 projects as well .
Percival continued .
Edie blinked , not understanding what he meant .
Percival continued , None of this went through me , so the Stewart family does not acknowledge it .
As of now , Ive halted all 79 projects the Simpson family acquired .
Within three days , every penny of profit earned from those projects must be returned to the Stewart familys account .
As for the 3 billion dollars in cash , Ive frozen the Simpson familys accounts .
From the 1.5 billion dollars remaining in those accounts , Ive deducted what was owed .
The Simpson family now owes me another 1.5 billion dollars , Percival said matter of factly .
His words sent a chill down Edies spine .
She had never expected him to pursue this matter .
On top of that , you took over a hundred pieces of my fathers treasured antiques .
By tomorrow , I want those antiques returned to Stewart Villa , intact , and delivered to my grandfather .
If they arent returned in perfect condition … Percival paused , his voice steady and cold .
He said .
Then tell Quinton to prepare himself .
Within three days , I will ensure the Simpson family residence disappears from Crownridge .
As for the feng shui array your family relies on for prosperity , the most sinister of its kind .
If the wealthy families in Crownridge learn that the Simpson familys energy field lies on the most inauspicious grounds , I wont even need to act .
Theyll destroy the Simpson family themselves , Percival concluded calmly .
Each of his words was like a dagger to Edies h heart .
Over the years , she had siphoned a billion dollars in cash and stolen 79 projects from the Stewart family .
Each project was capable of generating over 3 billion dollars .
The Simpson familys current standing was built on these stolen projects .
Now , with Percival forcibly reclaiming the projects , all the investments the Simpson family had poured into them would go up in smoke .
The project was halfway complete when it became impossible to withdraw funds , resulting in the loss of all investments .
When the project went back to the Stewart family , the Simpson familys prior investment only benefited the Stewart Group .
Such a vicious scherne shocked Edie .
She never imagined Percival would confront her about this .
His previous silence had led her to believe he wouldnt pursue the matter , perhaps out of respect for his mother .
Over the years , shes grown bolder , and her projects , combined with her cash and antiques , are worth hundreds of billions of dollars ! Even combining the wealth of numerous wealthy families might not reach that amount .
p of the iceberg .
H But now , Percival was finally holding her accountable .
To the Stewart family , this was merely the tip Percival , Im your mother ! Whats wrong with me using some of this money ? Its only a few hundred billion dollars ! Are you seriously arguing with me about this ? What about the Simpson family if you withdraw your suppon ? Edie charged forward .
She had never been so flustered in front of Percival .
She had always held herself high , convinced that he would never take action against her .
But now , Percival was treating her like a stranger .
Percival said , I dont know what the Simpson family will do , but you shouldnt have targeted the women of the Stewart family .
You schemed against Odalys , trying to use the Bennett family to bring her down .
You even tried to harm Freya .
What else are you plotting If you hadnt done those things , I might have overlooked everything .
However , that is no longer possible .
Percival said , his tone calm but firm .
1/2 Dream Read Romance Download 9:48 AM C Chapter 507 He could tolerate many things , except someone was trying to harm the women in his family .
Edie retorted .
Whats the point in defending Freya ? Shes only your fathers old war friends daughter .
And Odalys ? Your marriage was nothing more than a contract .
Now that youre alive , what use is she to you ! Percival , youre letting two women manipulate you , and youre criticizing your own mother ! Youre being ridiculous ! Edie was about to lose her temper .
She couldnt comprehend how things had spiraled out of her control .
Without the stolen funds and projects , the Simpson family would undoubtedly collapse .
And when that happened , she would bear the brunt of their wrath .
Aring interrupted her outburst .
She frantically took out her phone .
Looking at the number flashing on the screen , Edies face grew paler .
Mom , Edie answered the phone .
Her entire demeanor changed as if she were a different person .
Her tone became respectful , and she forced a strained smile .
What ? The companys accounts are frozen ! The moneys been taken back by the Stewart family ? The projects are gone ! Everything is gone ? Edies voice quivered If she had doubted Percivals threats before , the phone call confirmed them .
Find him ? And if I dont … then what ? Edie asked meekly , her earlier arrogance completely gone .
Her tone was now gentle , almost pleading- Percival watched her grovel with indifference .
He turned and walked towards Odalys .
Selah was stunned and looked at Edie .
She said a few hundred billion dollars is nothing A few billion .
Selah murmured , raising her hand to count on her fingers , her expression blank with shock Edie casually mentioned that it was only a few hundred billion , such a huge figure that would take days to count and could dramatically improve the lives of impoverished people worldwide .
Greed has no limits .
Francis also shook his head and said .
Without a word , Stellan pulled out his phone and messaged his parents , telling them how the Stewarts had frozen the Simpsons assets because they were in business and couldnt miss such news .
The Simpson familys assets have been frozen .
Theyre sure to retaliate , Stellan said .
Percival watched him type and said , Thats why your parents need to be prepared to take over the Simpson familys other ventures Okay Stellan said , his fingers trembling .
Th The allure of such wealth was undeniable , especially for his family .
Odalys was stunned as everyone else chatted , her phone buzzing non stop .
When she finally checked it , the screen was flashing wildly , Odalys , is your phone infected with a virus ? Freya asked , looking at her flickering screen .
Hearing this , the others gathered around Odalys , watching as her phone vibrated incessantly .
Messages popped up one after another , covering the screen before she could remove them .
Ten minutes later , the messages finally stopped and filled the interface .
Is it a virus ? Wait , theyre messages , right ? Selah said , leaning on Odalyss shoulder .
