Chapter 221 Stellan was silent .
The anxiety he had been feeling melted away the moment he heard Francis tears .
It was as Two hours later , the plane touched down .
the tension had been washed away .
A luxurious RV slowly pulled up , and Stellan strode toward it , getting inside .
Just as he was about to close the door , it jammed .
He turned in confusion .
You ? he asked , his expression cool , a flicker of disbelief crossing his features .
Francis stepped in , throwing her luggage aside , wrapping her arms across her chest and sinking into the seat .
Within moments , she was asleep .
Wait , were coming too .
Freya and Selah squeezed their way in , slamming the door shut behind them .
What is this ? Stellans lips moved , his eyes flicking uneasily between them .
I have things to do .
I cant take you all .
Freya , with her pale , delicate face , flashed him a mischievous smile and winked .
We dont need a ride , but didnt Odalys say your dads in trouble ! Were coming along to see if we can help .
Selah nodded in agreement .
The more people , the better .
Go on , drive ! Were running out of time , she urged , nudging Stellan toward the drivers seat .
Stellan had not expected this , but after a brief moment of hesitation , he gave in and quickly moved to the drivers seat , revving the engine and speeding off .
Odalys , we just landed .
Were in Stellans car , heading back now , Freya said , dialing Odalys number and putting the call on speaker On the other end of the line , Odalys voice was calm but sharp .
Have you made contact ! They glanced at Stellan , who shook his head .
No , cant get through .
The phones out of service , and we checked the cameras .
The car hasnt been seen since .
A heavy silence settled over them , mixed with worry and curiosity .
Could it really be like Odalys said ? Has something gone wrong ? they wondered .
Give m me their number , Odalys said quietly .
r left , but it She held the phone with her shoulder , rummaging through her bag for an iPad .
Her fingers flew across the screen with a smooth , practiced rhythm .
After a few moments , she spoke again , her voice lower now .
Go to Crownridge East District , near the overpass .
Theres a sloped area to the left .
She tapped the screen once more , studying the flashing red dot .
A flicker of something darker passed across her eyes .
She said his na is name softly .
Percival , who had been sitting beside her , remained still , silent , and attentive .
When he heard his name , he glanced over at her .
She raised her chin slightly .
Look at this location , Odalys murmured , turning the iPad toward him .
Percival leaned over , his tall frame close to hers , as he studied the screen .
His voice was low , barely a help ! y a whisper .
Do you need me to send someone to Theres no time .
I suspect someone tampered with the car .
It lost control , broke through the guardrail , and went down into the trees on the slope .
If possible , could the Lark family arrange for an ambulance to head over first Odalys replied quietly .
In the front seat , Orson had been pretending to rest , but his ears were alert .
As soon as he heard his name mentioned , he turned and nodded sharply .
Send me the location 1/2 6.25 PM C Chapter 221 Near the overpass in East District , by the sloped woods , Odalys confirmed .
Orson gave her an OK signal and murmured , Understood .
After exchanging a few more words with the others .
Odalys spoke again , her tone calm but urgent .
Tve arranged for an ambulance .
It should be on its way: You go ahead .
The line fell silent for a moment … As soon as Odalys had spoken Percivals name , everyone in the car fell still holding their breath .
Freya Odalys asked when she heard nothing from the other side of the line .
The silence felt unnatural .
It took a few moments before Freya responded , her voice faint .
Were here , were here .
Do you have the location ! Selah immediately chimed in .
The airports close , so we should be there in about 30 minutes Alright .
Call me when you arrive .
p the phone and glanced at her WhatsApp .
As soon as the plane landed , Stellan had sent her a transfer of 1.5 million dollars .
Odalys hung up Earlier , when shed given him the talisman , shed mentioned a fee , but hadnt specified the amount To her surprise , he had remembered and transferred the money immediately after landing .
She stared at it but didnt accept the transfer .
The silence on the other end of the call was unsettling .
It felt like they were afraid of hearing something they shouldnt .
The Stewart family was untouchable its influence stretched across the globe , controlling the worlds financial power and political affairs .
They were a force no one dared cross , and though they had retreated from the public eye , they were still at the top of the business world .
Their reach was so vast , it was like an army people didnt need the Stewart name to follow their orders .
I didnt just hear that , did I ! Selah whispered , her voice trembling She sat back , her mind racing as she muttered , Did Odalys just call him .
Percival ? Percival .
Could it be the one I think it is ? Francis , who had been quietly resting , suddenly sat up , his body stiff , breaking into a cold sweat .
The mention of the name shook him to his core .
The mention of the name shook him to his core .
Freya , deep in thought , held her phone tightly .
A soft , worried whisper escaped her lips .
So , Odalys is married to him ? The realization made her heart tighten in h en in her chest .
Only the Stewart family could pull strings like this arranging us a private line straight back to Crownridge , setting up a VIP route to avoid the crowds , and sending us directly to the outskirts .
No one else has this kind of power , Selah said , her voice low with a mix of awe and fear .
Even with money , such arrangements were rare and needed approval from multiple sources , This sudden VIP treatment , however , seemed to have been arranged effortlessly .
The atmosphere in the car grew Whoever this Percival is , we need to keep quiet .
Dont say a word about this .
We dont want to cause any trouble for Odalys , Selah warned , her voice firm and serious .
Francis nodded quickly .
Who would dare say anything about this ! Only someone seeking certain death .
Stellan , driving , was stunned .
He hadnt expected this , but it made sense now .
No wonder the Porsche Cayenne earlier had seemed so out of place .
Odalys and the Stewart family were connected in ways he hadnt imagined .
His car veered off course , following the route Odalys had given .
Suddenly , a loud crash echoed in the air .
Stellan saw a car speeding off the overpass , plunging downward with terrifying force , and the sound of it hining the ground reverberated in his ears .
Everyone in the car was startled , their eyes snapping toward the source of the noise , unable to believe what the they had just witnessed Chapter 221 The car screeched to a halt as Stellan slammed on the brakes .
