Chapter 268 In the VIP lounge of the hospital .
Percival stood by the floor to ceiling windows , gazing out at the bustling cityscape .
The bright sunlight hit his face .
It looks like somethings happening after all .
Orson wiped the sweat from his forehead .
Orson had just returned from a quick shower and was now watching the scene unfold on the screen .
Percival turned around , his eyes landing on Hannahs figure as she appeared on the large TV screen .
After being pushed out by Caspian , Hannah entered Edies hospital room alone .
Percival , you were right .
I had the hospital take in members of the Bennett family and arranged for them to stay next to your mothers room .
If they knew each other , theyd inevitably run into each other .
Didnt expect Hannah to be an old acquaintance of your mothers .
And that when Odalys was little , your mothers deal with the Bennett family led to Odalys being kicked out .
Orson furrowed his brows in confusion .
But why would she make the Bennett family kick Odalys out ? Odalys was just a little kid back then , only three or four years old .
Why target a child like that ? Percivals voice was low and heavy .
Edie and Hannah go way back .
In fact , when Odalys was young , it was a deal between Edie and the Bennett family that led to Odalys being expelled .
And to help her brother , she drugged my father .
She wanted to marry into the Stewart family to support her brother .
My fathers death is tied to her brother .
Maybe … Percival trailed off , his gaze turning icy as he stared at Edie on the monitor .
His voice grew even colder .
Odalys might have been in the way of her plans , so she suppressed the Bennett family , forcing them to mistreat Odalys .
She even had them kick her out in the dead of winter , hoping to let the cold kill her .
But Odalys ended up being taken in by her master and brought to the mountains .
That was Percivals guess , and it was the only explanation that made sense so far .
Orson spoke quietly .
If its like you said , then as long as Odalys is alive , she can save the Stewart family , and also destroy your mothers plans .
Your mother must have known that Odalys existence would ruin her schemes , so she had to get rid of her .
But she never expected that years later , the Bennett family would want to bring Odalys back .
They knew Edie feared Odalys , so the Bennett family deliberately went against her .
Thats why they didnt want Sophia to marry into the Stewart family .
They were protecting her .
They feared that if Sophia did marry into the Stewart family , your mother would kill her .
So , they ended up marrying someone your mother hated to you , as a way to use it to negotiate with the Stewart family ? Orson clapped his hands together as if a lightbulb went off in his head .
That makes everything clear .
Orson continued to speculate .
The Bennett family is selfish , and Hannah didnt want to be pushed around .
In the end , she took a bold move and brought Odalys back to marry you , to intimidate Edic .
So when the police called to have the Bennett family pick Odalys up , they refused .
That means they knew Odalys wasnt dead , but your mother didnt have a clue .
Theyve been hiding this from her , keeping it as a trump card ? Percival pressed his lips together tightly , his eyes locked on Edies figure .
She had just taken the medicine package Hannah gave her and tucked it into her bag .
Its a shame she thought she could use the Stewart familys influence to get away with all these dirty deeds .
Now shes even trying to use my grandfather for her own benefit .
Percival couldnt believe what he was hearing .
He had never imagined that a woman would go as far as trying to manipulate Evander .
They actually wanted to drug Evander and have his child , thinking they could carry on the Stewart familys bloodline .
Send me this video , Percival said in a low voice .
Orson quickly pulled out his laptop and after a few moments of typing , sent the video to Percival .
Without a second of hesitation , Percival immediately forwarded it to Evander .
Percival wasnt arrogant enough to think he could keep things hidden .
He certainly didnt believe he could stop everything on his own .
It was best 1/3 8:28 PM Chapter 268 to let Evander know , for his protection .
Youre just going to let Mr.
Stewart know like this ? Orson asked , a bit surprised .
Percival gripped his phone tightly , his tall frame leaning back against the chair .
He took a sip from the coffee beside him , his fingers , long and elegant , gripping the cups edge .
Grandfather has the right to know .
And only he can prevent things from happening , Percival said .
He then took out his phone and dialed Callum .
Percival took another sip of coffee before speaking in a gravelly voice .
Strip my mother of any control over the Stewart familys assets .
She is no longer allowed access to any Stewart properties , estates , businesses , or stores .
Furthermore , no one , guards , servants , or employees , are to take orders from her .
The Stewart Villa and the Stewart mansion , she is prohibited from entering .
If she tries to force her way in , tell the guards they are allowed to injure her on the spot , as long as they dont kill her .
Percivals deep voice resonated in the lounge , and Orson held his breath , fully aware of the gravity of the situation .
Percival continued , Also , inform all the banks to immediately unlink her from any accounts tied to the Stewart family .
Shes not allowed to charge anything to the Stewart family cards anymore .
Have the Stewart Groups official website issued a statement severing all ties with Edie , making it clear that she is no longer a member of the Stewart family .
Anyone caught working with her privately will bear the consequences , and the Stewart family will take no responsibility .
Each of Percivals commands startled Callum .
After hearing the orders , Callum repeated them and asked , Mr.
Stewart , are you sure ? Yes .
Do it right now , Percival replied , his voice gravelly .
In the past , Percival had refrained from taking action against Edie because she was his mother .
Hed let her have her way , covering for her in everything .
But now , he knew Edie had been behind Evanders leg injury .
Though he didnt have concrete proof regarding his fathers death , Percival suspected she was involved .
And Edie had certainly been behind Odalys mistreatment and abandonment .
A person so cruel didnt deserve to be a mother .
Ill never acknowledge this madwoman as my real mother again .
Ive tolerated enough of her behavior , he wondered .
Callum hung up the phone and immediately set the plan into motion .
Orson brewed more coffee and brought it over , refilling Percivals cup .
He stared at Percival thoughtfully , his eyes sparkling .
Youre worried about Odalys , right ? Percival remained silent .
Todays the opening of Odalys company .
People have been sending flowers her way .
Why dont you show some support ? Orson asked in a low voice .
In fact , Percival had been keeping an eye on Odalys situation .
She doesnt like all that superficial stuff .
Besides , if I show up , itll just cause trouble for her .
Right now , rumors are spreading that Im dead .
Its better for her to distance herself .
That way , no one will target her , and itll keep her out of harms way , Percival said in a low tone .
Orson took a sip of his coffee , then leaned against a nearby counter .
He looked Percival up and down , noting how well he was recovering .
Orson said softly , Honestly , last night , I didnt think youd make it .
