Chapter 272 Odalys watched Evanders anxious expression and barely held back a chuckle .

Stewart , I heard you prayed all night yesterday ? she quickly changed the topic , her tone light .

The mention of the previous night made Evanders face light up with pride .

I even sent flowers to every ancestor in the family , he replied , instinctively straightening his posture .

Despite being a tall and imposing man in his seventies , he had a childlike charm that was oddly endearing .

I also heard you bought all the best flowers in town , Odalys added with a knowing smile .

Evander , now engaged in the conversation , let the carlier scolding of Percival slide as he walked with Odalys into the living room .

Dorian appeared with a tray of fresh fruit .

I caught the livestream .

Your new shop seems to be doing well .

It already had a long line on opening day .

I hear people are booking appointments a month in advance ? Evanders sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he asked .

Odalys popped a cherry into her mouth and nodded .

Youre not charging money ? Youre only doing resource exchanges ? And for those without resources , they can just pay whatever they want ? Evander pressed , still puzzled .

Odalys confirmed softly .

Evander fell silent for a moment , his brows furrowing .

And what if someone just wants a Star reading or an energy field consultation but doesnt offer resources or flat out refuses to pay ? Plenty of people try to take advantage , especially the wealthy .

Theyre not always generous , he added , his voice laced with concern .

It was clear he was worried she might be too young to handle potential exploitation .

Still nibbling on her fruit , Odalys shook her head .

I can perform divination .

I can tell right away what kind of luck someone has .

If theyre stingy and only looking for a freebie , Ill just give them a basic reading .

She added with a small smile , Its all about reciprocity .

I can help you , but you cant take advantage of me , right ? Evander nodded approvingly and slapped his thigh lightly .

Exactly ! Well said .

It didnt matter to him whether Odalys made money or not .

The Stewart family had immense wealth , enough to ensure that even if she never worked another day , shed still live comfortably .

Besides , the Stewart Group would eventually fall into the hands of Percival and Odalys anyway .

Odalys , Id like to talk to you about Percival and his mother , Evander said after a long pause , his tone more serious now .

It was clear he was weighing how best to broach the subject .

After all , the familys history was a tangled mess that would give anyone a headache .

You mean how he publicly kicked Edie out of the Stewart family ? Odalys asked , her tone calm as she glanced at him .

Evanders lips parted , but he hesitated , the words catching in his throat .

You already know ? he asked , visibly surprised .

Evander had been worried that Odalys might look down on Percival for having a deceased father and a mother who caused trouble .

He understood how messy such a background could seem .

Yes , he already told me everything .

I think he did the right thing .

If someone only knows how to retreat and let others push them around , even to the point of being trampled without fighting back , then theyre truly weak and unreliable , she said firmly , her gaze unwavering .

Family isnt something you can force into existence .

Some people simply arent worth the effort , even if theyre your own mother .

The thought brought a pang of bitterness to Odalys , a reminder of her experience before her time travel .

Before time traveling , she had clung too tightly to the idea of family , and it had cost her everything .

1/3 Extra Check in Vouchers 8:29 PM Chapter 272 Im glad you see it that way .

Evander said with a relieved sigh .

The tension in his shoulders visibly eased .

Dorian had been bustling around for a while , and by 5:30 , he approached them .

Stewart , Odalys , dinner is ready , Dorian announced .

As soon as he finished speaking , Percival walked in from outside , having just ended a phone call .

The dining table was laden with an array of sumptuous dishes .

Odalys wasnt picky about food , so she ate quietly while Evander and Percival discussed various matters .

She didnt feel the need to interject , content to let them talk .

After finishing her meal .

Odalys hesitated for a moment .

Stewart , she called out softly .

Evander immediately turned toward her , his expression puzzled .

What is it ? The Stewart mansion has a good energy field , but its in such a remote area .

It wouldnt be safe for you to live there alone .

Have you thought about staying here ? Odalys asked , her tone cautious .

Evander glanced over at Percival .

Grandpa , listen to her .

Percival said with a nod .

He knew that Odalys always had her reasons for what she said and did , but he was getting older .

He wasnt sure if living with young people would be a burden on them .

If I move in , would it be inconvenient for you two ? Would I be disturbing you ? Evander asked .

He understood that young people preferred their freedom and often didnt want to live with elders .

It wont be a problem .

I used to live with my master , and it was just fine .

Odalys reassured him .

Evander nodded , and with that , he agreed to stay .

After dinner , Evander and Dorian headed outside for a walk , while Odalys and Percival went upstairs .

Come sit for a while ? Percival called over his shoulder as he walked toward the study .

Odalys raised an eyebrow and followed him .

Once inside the study , Percival opened a drawer , took out a file , and handed it to her , his voice low .

Ive found something ? Odalys took the file and glanced through it .

You suspect your uncle might be abroad ? she asked softly .

Percival poured her a glass of water and sat down across from her .

Yes , he replied , his voice still quiet .

After reading through the file , Odalys thought about the events of the day and said softly , So , you cut off Edies ties with the Stewart family completely .

And now , shell go to great lengths to try and help her brother .

When she realizes the Stewart family has severed all her connections , shell be frantic .

If your uncle wasnt prepared and was hoping to use the Stewart familys resources , only to find out that all support has suddenly been cut off , hell be in a difficult position , caught between a rock and a hard place , Odalys continued Percival chuckled softly , an appreciative look in his eyes as he watched her .

Yes , Percival agreed .

When I account for the resources and money shes provided to her brother over the years , its enough for them to live in luxury .

But if she wants to do something else , it wont be nearly enough .

Shes afraid my grandfather will find out , so every time she moves money , its within her control .

Today , I made sure the bank cut off all her cards .

Now she cant access any of the Stewart familys accounts .

All the properties and other assets under her name have been reclaimed .

Now , aside from a single apartment , she has no real estate left .

Percival had already offered her a place to stay , which was the most lenient concession he could make .

2/3 8:29 PM Chapter 272 It looks like you want to push them to their limits ? Odalys said with a quiet laugh .

She watched Percival , who seemed to effortlessly block all their escape routes , orchestrating every move like a master strategist .

He appeared nonchalant , but everything was under his control .

If we go step by step , we might suffer too many casualties .

Its better to take the initiative and make them realize the danger , he said .
