Chapter 271 Odalyss attention was still on the gifts as she absentmindedly said , Im done .
Then lets go home , Percival replied in a husky tone .
It was easy to detect a trace of happiness in his voice as if he genuinely looked forward to going home .
In the past , Percival never cared much about home , but now , it seemed like he wanted to go back every single day .
Sure , Odalys answered softly .
She pulled out her phone , snapped a picture , and posted it in the group chat .
[ Why are all of you sending me gifts ? ] [ Congrats on your booming business ! ] [ Exactly .
Heres to endless fortune coming your way .
] [ May you flourish like a ruby , bright , dazzling , and full of joy .
] [ Wishing you massive success ! ] One by one , her friends chimed in with their messages .
Odalys looked at the flood of replies and couldnt help but smile .
She had never had friends before .
Even after her time travel , she hadnt thought of making any .
Yet , somehow , shed stumbled into having real friendships .
For the first time , she understood the happiness of sharing meals and moments with friends .
Back in the days when she lived with the Bennett family , they consumed every moment of her time .
Even when Odalys was supposed to be resting , theyd demand she return home .
It was as if the Bennett family wanted to keep her locked inside their villa , completely isolated from the outside world .
After years of this , Odalys had become accustomed to their control .
Perhaps it could even be called self destructive .
She had wholly submitted to their domineering rules .
It was quite terrible .
Earlier , when Hannah took Sophia to the hospital , she secretly met with Edie , Percival interjected , clearly trying to start a conversation with her .
Hearing him refer to Edie by name surprised Odalys .
Theyre that eager to connect ? Havent they been pretending not to know each other all these years ? she asked , astonished .
After years of silence , now they suddenly decided to meet .
Take a look at this , Percival said , handing her his phone .
Odalys took it and tapped on the video .
The moment she heard the conversation , her world was turned upside down .
This … Are they seriously targeting you first , and now that they think youre dead , theyre setting their sights on your grandfather ? she said .
Edies your mother , and Evanders your grandfather .
Whats going through her head ? Not to mention , Hannahs in her forties , yet shes planning to have a baby with your seventy something year old grandfather ? And my fathers not even dead yet ! Odalys exclaimed , utterly dumbfounded .
She had never seen anyone so shameless .
To achieve her goals , Hannah was willing to seduce a man nearly twice her age .
Id like to know whether its the Stewart family fortune theyre after or something else entirely , Percival replied coldly .
Hearing this , Odalys thought of Brandon and his son , her fingertips involuntarily tightening .
Have you confirmed whether the health conditions of those wealthy businessmen from the village match the symptoms we found on the list ? she asked in a low voice .
Percival gripped the steering wheel and skillfully made a sharp turn , heading straight toward the Stewart Villa .
The sleek black Maybach cruised along the long road , flanked by towering , orderly trees that cast shadows over the path .
As they neared the end of 1/3 Chapter 271 the driveway , the gates opened automatically .
Percival drove through , pulling up to the front door .
Weve uncovered a few leads .
Orson is verifying them to see if they match what we know about Stellans father , he said .
Percivals team worked efficiently .
No sooner had he finished speaking than Odalys phone buzzed with a notification .
She glanced down to see a news alert from the Stewart Groups official website .
She wasnt particularly interested but tapped it instinctively .
The Stewart Groups official site … issued a statement cutting ties with Edie ? Odalys exclaimed in disbelief .
Typically , announcements on the site pertained to internal company matters , rarely involving personal affairs .
What was more , Edie was Percivals mother , a figure of prominence and status .
I asked them to post it , Percival said in a deep voice .
The two of them walked side by side , the late afternoon sun casting a golden glow on their surroundings .
Their elongated shadows intertwined as they moved .
You want to cut ties with her ? Odalys asked , clearly surprised .
Percival stopped abruptly , turning to meet her gaze with a serious expression .
I wont let her hurt you .
Whether its you or my grandfather , Ill protect both of you .
Last night , she rushed over just to test if I was truly alive .
His voice grew colder as he continued , When she learned Id been in trouble , there wasnt a trace of sadness .
Instead , she had my grandfathers leg broken and tried to conspire with outsiders to exploit him .
If I dont sever ties with someone as ruthless as her , shell become a bigger threat down the line .
He spoke with conviction .
Percival knew exactly who was genuine and who wasnt .
I did protect her before , he admitted honestly .
After my fathers accident , I thought she had it tough as a widow .
I even turned a blind eye when she used the Stewart familys connections and resources to pave the way for my uncle .
But now , its clear .
She doesnt value the Stewart family or see us as her family .
So , I dont need her anymore .
His honesty left no room for doubt .
For Percival , being transparent was a sign of trust in their relationship .
Odalys murmured quietly , Not everyone can see things as clearly as you do .
If Id been this decisive before I time traveled , maybe I wouldnt have died .
If I hadnt died , neither would you .
Staying clear headed is crucial .
She was sure that Percival died when she time traveled .
Because before she time -traveled , Selah had also died .
She quickened her pace , feeling an inexplicable urgency to get back .
Percival caught fragments of what she said , something about her dying and him dying too , but her voice was so faint that he wasnt entirely sure if hed heard her correctly .
Youre back ? Evanders voice echoed from the living room as he stepped out .
Evander had spent the entire night praying and decided to wait at the Stewart Villa instead of heading back to the mansion .
He hadnt expected the two to return so soon .
Stewart , Odalys greeted , speeding up as she approached him .
Evander stood tall and imposing , his broad frame exuding an air of authority .
Despite his age , his presence remained commanding .
I heard your company opened today , Evander said warmly .
I wanted to drop by and join the celebration , but you had so many guests that ! couldnt even get in .
I will cook you a nice dinner tonight .
Noticing Percival trailing behind her , Evander frowned slightly and added .
And you , how could you not make any effort ? Today was a big day for Odalys company ! He sounded genuinely exasperated , even stamping his foot for emphasis .
