Chapter 541

They returned after a short detour.

They saw Dorian setting breakfast on the dining table. Orson was also in the kitchen, washing and cutting fruit, which he then brought to the table.

“You’re back? No wonder you all like to eat at home. The Stewart family’s breakfast is quite a spread. It’s not like my family, where we have bread and coffee every day,” Orson remarked. He rarely had breakfast at the Stewart Villa. He had an eye-opening experience today.

There was fragrant spaghetti with sloppy Joe, salad, pickled cucumber, spicy lamb chops, lobster meat with salt and pepper, beef with chili peppers, beef with broccoli, oatmeal, and sandwiches.

These dishes, though seemingly ordinary, were a feast for the senses. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

As a medical family, the Lark family prioritized hygiene, lightness, and simplicity in their meals. Sometimes, when surgeries or other medical emergencies arose, time was of the essence, so the Lark family’s meals were generally simple.

Although the food on the Stewart family table was homemade, it was very appetizing.

He was drooling over it. This abundant breakfast whetted his appetite.

“I’m lucky to be eating with Odalys. I usually don’t get this kind of treatment. Dorian prepared this feast for her, and I’m simply joining the meal,” Percival said playfully.

Orson immediately ran forward and pulled a chair out for Odalys, inviting her to sit.

“Odalys. I’m going to join the meal today. I’m sure I’ll love this breakfast. I love this one, this one, and this one,” Orson said smugly.

Evander shook his head when he heard that.

Orson was lively and talkative, in stark contrast to Percival. Percival was calm, taciturn, and steady, but lacked Orson’s liveliness.

“Then you should have more.” Odalys also smiled.

Percival picked up the plate and served her spaghetti.

“Thank you.” Odalys took the fork he handed her.

Breakfast was a lavish spread, and she loved all the dishes. Dorian had prepared the meal according to her taste. Everyone else enjoyed the meal as well.

After breakfast, Percival led her to the rooms behind the Stewart Villa.

It was a row of villas. The decoration was low- key but luxurious, and bodyguards guarded the outside.

“Mr. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart.” The bodyguards saw them and hurriedly greeted them respectfully.

Percival nodded to them, gesturing for them to leave and rest. Then, he pushed the door open and entered.

From afar, they saw a figure lying on the bed in the luxurious room. Callum was sleeping soundly and had not woken up yet. The room was filled with the smell of medicine.

Callum’s brows were furrowed as if he was struggling to wake up but couldn’t.

“Let me take a look.” Odalys stepped forward.

She checked Callum’s pulse and felt the heat of his body.

After a while, she withdrew her hand and said, His injuries are serious, and he has been frightened, which has caused him to remain in a coma. I’ll prescribe some medicine for him, and his fever should be able to subside in about half an hour.

“After his fever subsides, light some herbs in the room, leave the windows open, and see how he does,” Odalys said.

She took the paper and pen from the side, quickly wrote down the prescription, and handed it over.

Orson dared not ask any more questions and immediately went to get the medicine.

The entire Stewart family’s medicine room was opened for him. Orson quickly grabbed the medicine, brewed it, and fed it to Callum.
After examining the other bodyguards’ injuries, Odalys also prescribed medicine for them.

After that, Orson, who had lit the herb in Callum’s room, walked to her happily. He said, “Odalys, Callum’s fever has subsided.
“It’s not that bad now,” Orson added.

Odalys nodded and was about to speak when Orson’s phone vibrated. He quickly answered the call, his expression turning darker.
After hanging up the phone, Orson wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and strode toward her.

“Odalys,” Orson said with a heavy heart.

Odalys frowned slightly and looked at him subconsciously, but she didn’t say anything and waited for him to continue.

Orson was silent for a while before he spoke.

After putting Sophia and Henry together and sending them to the operating room, I kept her blood and other samples. Remember?
“I’ve been studying it, and the results just came out. Sophia’s bone age is more than 20 years old,” Orson said, his voice tinged with fear.

Sophia’s bone age wasn’t 20 years old, but she was 20 years old.

She and Odalys were born in the same year. After Odalys was abandoned, the Bennett family adopted and raised her. Everyone was very puzzled by this behavior at that time, but they thought it might be because the parents were so sad after their child went missing that they found a child of the same age and adopted her.

Unexpectedly, there was something fishy about it.

“I know,” Odalys said.

Orson’s words stuck in his throat, and he looked at her in horror.

“You know that? You found out that Sophia wasn’t 20 years old?” Orson was startled.

He wondered, ‘Isn’t this plastic surgery?’

However, even though plastic surgery was common, it was not practical to have it done from childhood. The wealthy ladies of Crownridge all hung out together, and any gossip spread like wildfire.

Yet, no one had ever mentioned Sophia getting plastic surgery.

“As I said before, her face was reshaped through dermabrasion and bone shaving when she was young. She even had a skin graft. When her fortune declined, her face became sallow. It was as if she had aged by more than ten years. “Everything about her is a facade. She needs her fortune to maintain her beauty. Not just her face, but her body too.

“Someone like her can’t get pregnant. If she did, the fetus would absorb her nutrients. It would cause her to age rapidly and reveal her original form. However, she’s likely unaware of this. “She’s obsessed with stealing other people’s fortune, so she must know that fortune can maintain her appearance,” Odalys explained. Percival had heard her mention this before, so he wasn’t too surprised.

“But the bone age test showed that it couldn’t determine her exact age. It only showed that she was old,” Orson said, wiping away cold sweat.

Now, if he saw Sophia again, he would run immediately.

He felt that she was very strange, like a monster. “That’s only right that you can’t see it. It wasn’t meant to be visible.” Odalys smiled.

She wasn’t pressured or burdened by this at all. “No wonder she looked younger and prettier when she went back after hurting Atlas that day and getting his heart’s blood. So that’s how she did it.” Orson was a little stunned, but he quickly cleared his mind.
“The Love Spell worked with Atlas’s heart’s blood, but it can only be used once. That’s why Atlas didn’t react when she burned the Love Spell in the room.” Odalys continued to explain.

Percival followed her quietly. He listened to her politely and patiently without interrupting.

Chapter 542

“She used it on Atlas before, so using too many Love Spells will also have a backlash. She failed to control Atlas this time, so it won’t be as effective even if she wants to use Atlas’s heart’s blood next time,” Odalys said.

It was like going to extremes.

Some things could only work once, not many times.

They would be less effective if overused.

“I want to expose her true colors,” Orson said, a little worked up.

He was young, after all, and wanted to look for excitement. Things about Sophia were exciting enough.
Odalys smiled but said nothing.

“I need to head to the office soon, so I can’t chat any longer,” Odalys said.

Orson raised his hand hurriedly and said, “Odalys. I’ll go with you. I want to go and pray.”
“Aha.” Odalys laughed heartily.

Looking at his eager and excited expression, Odalys couldn’t help it any longer.

Percival watched her cheerful appearance and couldn’t help but smile, infected by her laughter. He felt a lot more relaxed.

It seemed that he could always feel a different kind of joy around her.
“I’ll take you there later,” Percival said.

Odalys didn’t refuse. She walked in and checked on Callum’s condition. Her eyes fell on the back of his hand, which was like a bloody mess.

“Don’t put any medicine on his hand,” said Odalys.

Orson was confused. He was about to apply medicine to Callum’s wound, but he stopped. “Okay.” Orson didn’t ask anything. It seemed like any decision she made was the right one, and he just had to obey.

After witnessing her medical skills, the Lark family had almost always listened to her. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they never questioned her.

Other members of the Lark family who had never met Odalys were curious about her and even admired her.

It was as if an idol had suddenly appeared. They had never met her, but they found her glowing. Sometimes, when someone in the Lark family needed major surgery, they would go to Magic Entertainment before going to the hospital. Percival drove Odalys to Magic Entertainment. After that, he received a call and left in a hurry.

Odalys stood at the company entrance, watching him drive away. She frowned and stared at his car until it disappeared from her sight.

“Odalys, what’s wrong?” Orson asked. He was about to enter the company energetically.

Noticing Odalys’s unusual demeanor, he stopped in his tracks.

“Nothing, I hope,” Odalys murmured under her breath.

As Percival drove away, she vaguely saw a wisp of wicked energy trailing behind him. When she tried to get a clearer look, it seemed to vanish. Odalys wasn’t sure if she had seen it right. “I’ll go in and pray first. I have to go to the hospital after that,” Orson said.

He stepped inside, washed his hands, and prayed. After that, he left in a hurry.

Odalys was left alone. She didn’t enter the company but stood outside.

Many fans came to pray. Seeing Odalys, they didn’t dare to scream but quietly bypassed her. After they finished praying, they quietly approached her.

“Odalys,” a girl called softly, afraid to startle her.

Odalys’s thoughts were pulled back, and she turned around in confusion.

Odalys saw a girl in a white dress. She had exquisite makeup, standing timidly before Odalys and nervously staring at her.

“What’s wrong?” Odalys asked in a low voice. The girl in white stood there nervously, took out a photo, and handed it over, saying, “Can you sign it for me? I like you very much. I’m your loyal fan.”

She spoke in a soft voice.

Odalys looked at the photo she handed over and found it was a shot of herself fighting a wild boar with her bare hands when she was on a variety show.

The corner of her mouth twitched. Looking at such a “wild” self, she couldn’t help but find it funny.
She didn’t expect that the fans would print out the photo and bring it over for an autograph. “Is it okay?” the fan asked worriedly.

Odalys reached out to take the pen she handed over and said, “Sure.”

The fan watched her sign, her eyes sparkling, as if she had seen the person she had admired for a long time, staring intently.

Other fans saw them talking and did not dare to come forward to disturb them.

They seemed to have an unspoken agreement. They didn’t scream when they saw Odalys and didn’t crowd around her.

They might come forward and talk to her if they needed something, but if not, they just watched from afar.

Unlike the extreme fans of other artists, her fans had always been quiet and well-behaved.

“Thank you.” The girl took the autograph, turned around excitedly, and was about to leave.

Odalys watched her turn and leave, then subconsciously called out to her, “Wait.”

“Huh?” The girl turned around in confusion. She clutched the autographed photo tightly, standing there nervously, at a loss for what to do.

Odalys stepped forward, stood before her, and touched her forehead. The girl broke out in a cold sweat, her lips moving, but she didn’t dare say anything.

“Don’t go back to your hometown,” Odalys told her.

A trace of confusion flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she didn’t understand why Odalys said that.

“Someone will ask you to go back to your hometown later; remember not to go back.” Odalys admonished.

Hearing this, the girl forced a smile and said, “I’m not planning to go back to my hometown recently. I’m going to Hutsatin tomorrow. I have an appointment with my classmate.” Odalys fell silent.

Some things could only be hinted at. It was pointless to say more.

“No matter where you go or who you meet, remember not to return to your hometown.” Odalys’s voice sank.

The girl nodded quickly, waved to her, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, Odalys, I will listen to you.”

Odalys watched her trotting away, her heart tightening.

She saw the girl’s life counting down.

Sometimes, she knew the outcome but couldn’t change it. Even if she told her not to go there, the girl probably still had to.
If the girl listened, maybe she would survive. If she didn’t, she would end up like the woman Odalys had connected with before, who, for the sake of money, didn’t save her son.

Thinking of this, Odalys felt heavy-hearted.

“Odalys.” Several fans also trotted over.

Odalys greeted them with a relaxed smile as they emerged after praying.

Some wanted Odalys to tell their fortune. Odalys was approachable and patiently did it for them before they excitedly bid her farewell.

Odalys watched them walk away, their laughter still echoing in the air, and she couldn’t help but smile along with them.
“Odalys.” A voice suddenly called out, interrupting her thoughts.

She turned around and saw Hannah standing not far away, with Sophia beside her. They looked like a loving mother and daughter, which surprised Odalys.

Chapter 543

Sophia seduced Windsor and was caught red- handed by Hannah.

But now, the two acted like nothing had happened and were walking together again.

This shocked Odalys. She didn’t expect Hannah to be so magnanimous.

‘Her husband was seduced, yet she remained friendly with the other woman. Looks like Hannah is incredibly generous,’ Odalys thought.

“Odalys. Why aren’t you smiling now? You were smiling so happily when you were talking to them just now. Why do you stop smiling now that Mom and I are here?” Sophia asked with a pout.
She pulled Hannah forward.

Odalys stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the two people approaching coldly. “Did you guys become friends again after being rivals in love?” Odalys said sarcastically. Sophia’s eyes instantly reddened as Odalys mocked her. She bit her lip hard before saying in a choked voice, “Odalys, do you have a problem with me? How could Mom and I be rivals in love?

“What happened before was all a misunderstanding,” Sophia whispered.

Hannah, hearing her choked voice, didn’t comfort her. Instead, she stared intently at Odalys, her gaze sweeping past her neck and landing on her necklace.

She thought about how she used to wear that necklace.

‘I can’t believe Odalys snatched it back.’ Thinking of this, she felt a surge of anger and frustration. “What’s with that look? Do you still have me, your mother, in your eyes? I came all the way here. Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of coffee?” Hannah fumed.

She got angry whenever she saw Odalys.

She didn’t know why, but when she saw Odalys, she didn’t feel close to her. She just wanted to get angry.

The unknown fire in her heart seemed to be buried in the deepest part of her heart, and it was ignited when she saw Odalys.
Hannah was also surprised. She wanted to be close to Odalys, but this inexplicable emotion soon ignited her. Moreover, it was triggered immediately.

“Oh! I wondered who it was. So, it was Mrs. Bennett. If I didn’t know better, I’d think some high-ranking official was here to inspect us. How arrogant you are.” Celeste’s voice rang out.

She was used to coming to pray every day, and today was no exception.

She rarely saw Odalys, so she hurried to park her car and walk over, only to find that Hannah and Sophia were there.
Celeste was worried Odalys would suffer a loss and almost ran off in her high heels. Then, she stepped forward gracefully and stood in front of Odalys.

“Mrs. Bennett, your temper is so bad. You’d better not come to pray. You should go to the hospital. Otherwise, someone else will snatch your husband away,” Celeste said.

Suddenly, her eyes swept toward Sophia. She said in surprise, “Didn’t you say she slept with your husband before? Are you two back together? Are you planning a threesome?”

Hannah did not expect Celeste to mock her.

The Tillery family was different from the Bennett family. The Tillery family was a prominent family with a strong financial foundation, and the Bennett family was no match for them.

She had tried many times to befriend the Tillery family, but they had always looked down on her and never even given her a chance. ‘How could such arrogant people stand before Odalys and speak for her?’ Hannah wondered.

She had also heard some time ago that the Tillery family and Odalys had become friends, and that Odalys had helped the Tillery family solve a problem and saved Blossom’s life. ‘It seems that the rumors are true, Hannah thought.

“You!” Hannah was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She had wanted to annoy Odalys and give her a hard time, but she didn’t expect Celeste to show up.

The point was that she didn’t dare to be angry with Celeste. Celeste was very vindictive. If she offended Celeste, the Bennett family would not only go bankrupt. Celeste might even destroy them.

“Mrs. Tillery, please come in and have some coffee.” Odalys ignored Hannah and the others. She spoke to Celeste and turned to walk inside. “Odalys, look what I brought you.” Celeste took something out of her Louis Vuitton handbag as if offering a treasure, handed it to her, and said, This is an ancient emerald that my father-in-law collected.

“He said it was an ancient artifact from over ten thousand years ago. Last night, he came to see Blossom and gave me this ancient emerald when he mentioned you. He asked me to give it to you.

“He’s not in good health and doesn’t go out much, so please don’t mind.” Celeste looked at Odalys with concern.

She stuffed the ancient emerald into Odalys’s hand. Odalys was about to refuse it.

She had never been one to take what belonged to others, let alone something as valuable as this. Just by listening to Celeste, she knew it was priceless.

But as soon as Celeste pressed the ancient emerald into her hand, Odalys’s mind went blank, overwhelmed by many images.

All of them were images of her and Percival around the 1920s.

” Odalys, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Celeste saw her expression change.

Startled, she quickly helped Odalys.

Odalys looked down at the ancient emerald in her hand in shock. The ancient emerald was green and transparent, like a deep pool, as if it were sucking her soul into it.

She unconsciously clenched the ancient emerald in her small hand.

“I’m fine. But it’s too valuable.” Odalys’s voice became hoarse.

She hadn’t wanted it before, but now, she felt that this ancient emerald had a connection with her.

It wasn’t that she coveted its high value, but that the ancient emerald seemed to hold memories of her from around the 1920s as if it were originally hers.

“Strangely enough, Oswald said this ancient emerald belonged to an official’s wife around the 1920s. And even more strangely, I heard that the official’s wife disappeared overnight.

“The official’s house was set on fire and burned to the ground overnight. No one knew where she was or if she was dead or alive. Only this ancient emerald was left.

“I heard emerald is good for one’s health. Oswald has been treasuring it and has been reluctant to take it out. I don’t know what’s going on with him. He took it home today and asked me to give it to you,” Celeste muttered.

She looked puzzled.

But she didn’t have much desire to possess the ancient emerald.

Celeste might have objected if Oswald wanted to give it to someone else, but she was okay with him giving it to Odalys.

Both she and Sienna liked Odalys from the bottom of their hearts. They had even discussed that they both wanted to recognize her as their goddaughter, but they were afraid of offending her and didn’t dare to mention it.

“Then I’ll take it,” Odalys said in a bitter voice.

She was also eager to know what had happened around the 1920s.

‘Why did the house suddenly catch fire?

Someone locked the door from the outside, and everyone was burned to death inside, leaving nothing but this ancient emerald. Is that the case?’ Odalys wondered.

Although she wasn’t sure if the rumor was true, she wanted to know the truth.

“Just take it! I’ll tell Oswald later that you like it. He’ll be happy to know that.” Celeste grinned from ear to ear.

Not far away, Hannah and Sophia stood there, staring at the ancient emerald in Odalys’s hand.

Chapter 544

“How is that possible? How could the Tillery family give the ancient emerald to her?” Hannah was so angry that her chest heaved and her expression became darker and darker, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Sophia’s eyes were almost overflowing with jealousy.

She wanted to curry favor with these rich ladies, but they ignored her.

But Odalys didn’t need to curry favor at all.

These people just fawned over her and gave her gifts.

One had to know that emerald was invaluable.

“Mom, what is an ancient emerald?” Sophia asked with some doubt.

Hannah shook off her hand in disgust, obviously disgusted with Sophia. But she needed help, so she didn’t turn her back on Sophia again.
She said, “This ancient emerald is a family heirloom of the Tillery family. It is said that it saved the life of the ancestor of the Tillery family, and the ancestor passed down the ancient emerald and kept it in Oswald’s hands.
“It is said that those who own this ancient emerald are eligible to inherit the Tillery family, which means that whoever gets this emerald will be the head of the Tillery family.

“The Tillery family recognizes Odalys and even intends to hand over the Tillery family to her.” Hannah gritted her teeth in anger.
She couldn’t wait to go up and grab the ancient emerald.

“The control of the Tillery family? The inheritance of the Tillery family? What’s so great about Odalys? Why does the Tillery family intend to give it to her? Could it be that she has a relationship with the Tillery family or put some spell on the Tillery family?” Sophia was anxious. After all, it was the Tillery family, which was so wealthy.

Even without seizing control of the Tillery family, gaining some advantages from them alone would be enough for the Bennett family to stage a comeback.

She couldn’t even imagine what would happen if Odalys took over the Tillery family…

Sophia panicked. Without thinking, she rushed forward, reaching out to knock the ancient emerald off Odalys’s hand. ‘If it breaks, Odalys will offend the Tillery family.’ With that thought in mind, she lunged forward.

“No!” Sophia lunged forward but was forcefully bounced back.

She didn’t even get to touch Odalys. Her body was flung out, and as she crashed to the ground, her mind went blank. She stared at Odalys in a daze.

“How is this possible? I can’t get through?” Sophia murmured under her breath.

She struggled to stand, her pathetic attempts drawing a flicker of disgust from Hannah. Thinking about how Sophia betrayed her and even had a fling with Windsor after she had raised Sophia, pampered her, and even wanted to hand over the Bennett family to her, the hatred in Hannah’s eyes was about to spill over. Seeing Sophia’s pathetic state brought a flicker of dark satisfaction, which she quickly concealed.

“Mom, I can’t get in.” Sophia’s voice trembled as if she had seen a ghost.

When Hannah heard her say this, the disgust in her eyes became more apparent.

“We can’t get in? Are they defending against us? I don’t believe Odalys is powerful enough to create a barrier that could stop us from entering,” Hannah said, striding forward.

It was fine for the first few steps, but as she moved forward, a powerful force seemed to hold her down, choking her throat and making her unable to breathe. Her eyes widened, and she felt like they were about to explode.

The feeling of suffocation became more and more apparent as she was frozen in place.

There was constant pain all over her body, like being pricked by needles.

The dense pain spread throughout her body. Cold sweat constantly oozed from Hannah’s forehead, and images of Odalys as a child kept appearing in her mind. She saw Odalys’s little face flushed and peeking out the car window. However, Hannah opened the car door and kicked her out of the car.

“Ouch.” Odalys fell to the ground, her knees burning with pain. Her pants were torn, and she was a little puzzled. She stared at the people in the car with her round eyes.

Hannah’s expression darkened. Looking at Odalys, she said, “We are going home to pick up your brother. You wait here. We’ll be back for you in a bit.”

After she said that, Windsor stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

As night fell, the snow fell harder and harder. One could almost see the small figure buried by the snow. Hannah saw Odalys drag her injured knee and chase after the car after snapping back to her senses.

Hannah only rolled up the car window and didn’t look at Odalys again.

Until that small figure fell into the thick snow while running and couldn’t get up again.

These thoughts fluttered and echoed in her mind. “No, it wasn’t me.” Hannah was afraid to face the past. She struggled constantly, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious. It was like a thick layer of snow hitting her, pressing on her chest, making her unable to breathe.

“No.” The next second, she was pushed hard by an invisible hand.

Hannah was ejected about 1.5 feet away. When she fell, her knees hit the ground, and the pain spread throughout her body. The pants on her knees were torn, and blood oozed out continuously.

Her face instantly turned pale, and she looked back at Magic Entertainment in disbelief.

“It’s impossible. I have to go in,” Hannah said, getting up again.

She rushed forward, but Magic Entertainment seemed to have a barrier that threw her out hard again. This time, the force was greater than before, and she fell to the ground with a bang.

All the bones in her body seemed to be breaking, and the pain made cold sweat ooze from her forehead.

Hannah stared toward Magic Entertainment, her heart filled with terror.

She didn’t understand why the memory she had almost forgotten suddenly hit her like a flood, trying to drown her. What she didn’t expect was that Odalys wouldn’t even let her take a step inside.

“Mom, are you alright?” Sophia asked. She had a flash of delight at the sight of Hannah’s injury. A sense of revenge washed over her.
But she concealed her excitement well and pretended to be concerned as she helped Hannah to her feet.
“I can’t believe Odalys refused to let us in. She must have done something to keep us out. Celeste was able to go in, and so were the other fans. Why can’t we go in?” Hannah said, unwilling to give up.

In her mind, Odalys was her daughter and shouldn’t have treated her this way.

‘I gave Odalys her life. Everything she has belongs to me. How can she hurt me like this? She is simply an ungrateful wretch, Hannah thought.

“She must have done something wicked. She is terrifying. She must have deceived these people who come in to pray.” Sophia continued to add fuel to the fire.

Hannah was so angry that her chest heaved. She was about to curse when she saw a luxurious Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly driving toward them. The car stopped in front of Magic Entertainment. The door opened, and a tall figure walked in.

The man was wearing a gray suit. Although he was old, he exuded an air of nobility.

Chapter 545

Hannah saw Evander and immediately got up. “Evander.” Hannah’s voice softened a lot.

Her voice was soft and coquettish, as if she had met her lover whom she had not seen for a long time.

Evander took a few steps and heard that delicate, flirtatious voice. Goosebumps erupted all over his body. Unable to believe his ears, he glanced around and found Hannah tidying up her clothes.

With a coquettish demeanor, she took long strides toward him.

He swept a glance at her and ignored her, lifting his foot to walk into Magic Entertainment.

“Evander.” Hannah grew anxious.

She almost wanted to throw herself at him, but she had to maintain her image and couldn’t be too crude.

Called out again, Evander shuddered as if being chased by something dirty. He immediately quickened his pace and walked into Magic Entertainment.

Seeing this, Dorian strode forward and blocked Hannah’s way.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Dorian yelled, his voice hoarse.

Hannah walked so hastily that she couldn’t stop in time and almost knocked Dorian down.

Dorian held his things up as a barrier, preventing her from getting closer. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he stared at her and said, “Please stop accosting us. Mr. Stewart doesn’t know you.” Hannah’s eyes lit up when she heard Dorian say,” Mr. Stewart.”
She hurriedly took out a wad of cash and shoved it into Dorian’s hands. Taking Dorian by his arm, she whispered, “Please deliver a message to Mr. Stewart for me.

“Just tell him I need to see him urgently. I’ll get a room first, and when he arrives, I’ll explain everything in detail. It’s about Odalys.

“I’m Odalys’s mother. This is a matter of life and death for her, and I think it’s necessary to make things clear with the Stewart family. Please tell him that he must come to the hotel to see me before midnight,” Hannah said.

She also handed him the hotel card with the room number on it.

Dorian’s mind went blank for a moment.

He felt like he had heard something incredible. This woman in front of him wanted to meet Evander at a hotel. She had even booked a room. And she said it was about Odalys.

‘Who in their right mind would discuss business in a hotel room?’ With that thought in mind, Dorian gave her a meaningful look and turned to walk inside.

Hannah wanted to follow but realized only they were allowed in, not her and Sophia.

She stood outside, her eyes filled with ruthlessness. She wished she could rush in and slap Odalys twice. ‘These messy things must have been Odalys’s doing behind the scenes,’ she thought. ‘ I can’t believe she is wary of the Bennett family and me.’

The more Hannah thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she couldn’t understand. ‘Is Odalys really that powerful?’
Even Oliver was defeated by her yesterday, and Brandon kept muttering last night, saying that his ancestor had been killed. Thinking of the recent events, Hannah had a trace of regret.

Had she known Odalys was so powerful, she would have kept Odalys close, even at the cost of her own life.

In this way, the Stewart family would have asked her for help, and it would not have brought the Bennett family to the point of bankruptcy.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes toward Sophia were somewhat unkind, as if everything was Sophia’s fault. If it hadn’t been for Sophia’s insistence on not marrying, she wouldn’t have forced Odalys to marry Percival.

“Mom, what should we do now?” Sophia panicked.

She ran forward to help Hannah, but Hannah deftly avoided her.

“It seems that Odalys is planning to turn against us,” Hannah said, her eyes red with anger. The hatred in her eyes was unconcealed.

“But what can we do? Is she still angry that I forced her into marrying him and now the Stewart family controls her every move? Or is she still upset about my past with Finnian and the misunderstanding it caused between us?” Sophia choked back tears.

She wanted to cry, but when she tried, no tears came.

Hannah’s ears perked up at the mention of Finnian. She sank into deep thought.

“Find a way to contact Finnian and tell him I have a favor to ask. Now that Odalys hates us, I’ Il help her get with Finnian. Judging from her state, she’s still a virgin,” Hannah said, a plan forming in her mind.

Sophia listened, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

She thought of how her virginity was long gone, while Odalys was still a virgin.

“Mom, are you saying she and Percival haven’t slept together? Could you be mistaken? They’ve been living together for so long. How is it possible she’s still a virgin?” Sophia asked, surprised.

She thought, ‘Could a man hold back for that long?

‘Or was it that Percival didn’t like Odalys, that even touching her disgusted him?

‘But that makes sense. Odalys only knows how to deal with ghosts. Men must have no desire for her. How could they still want to sleep with her?’

“Find a chance to ask Finnian out.” Hannah didn’t answer her question but instead gave her an order.

Sophia bit her lip, wanting to refuse, but didn’t dare to go against her.

It was not easy to repair her relationship with Hannah. If she didn’t listen to her, Hannah might turn hostile and kick her out of the Bennett Villa.

She couldn’t leave the Bennett Villa yet.

“Okay,” Sophia replied in a low voice.

Deep down, thinking of that time Finnian blocked her in the middle of the night, knocked her unconscious, and carried her away, Sophia couldn’t help but shiver because he was like a pervert.

“Don’t follow me.” Hannah turned and left. Finding Sophia following her, she hurriedly shouted angrily and couldn’t help speeding up, trying to get rid of Sophia.

Sophia stood where she was. She stared at Hannah’s departing figure, thinking of Edie’s conversation with Hannah last night. She knew they were targeting Evander.

Hannah wanted to get pregnant with Evander’s child, take the opportunity to kill Percival, and then take over. After the child was born, they would kill Evander.

“What if that person was me?” Sophia turned her head, her eyes thoughtful as she looked toward Magic Entertainment.

It didn’t matter who the man was to her. What mattered was that he could give her wealth, status, and power.
Once she had money and power, she could get any man she liked.

She felt the most urgent task was to find a backer more powerful than the Bennett family.

With that thought in mind, Sophia took a step back, her heart filled with her plans. Just as she was about to leave, her stomach churned, and a wave of nausea seemed to rise.

“Ugh!” She covered her chest and retched.

But even though she felt like throwing up, she couldn’t bring anything up. Her face was pale with discomfort.

Looking up, she saw a dozen girls standing not far away, staring at her.

“Come and see. Sophia is pregnant. I saw her having a fling with so many men on the live broadcast. I wonder whose child it is,” one of the girls said.

“Quickly take a video and help her find her husband online.” The others continued.

Sophia’s expression changed drastically. She stood up, looked at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces, and was surprised to find two of them were her fans who had supported her on Twitter before.

Now that the tables had turned, they wanted to bully her.

Chapter 546

Sophia pointed at the two of them unwillingly, her voice a little hysterical, and said, “Aren’t you two my fans? Why are you with these people who are slandering me? Why are you here?” There was unwillingness in Sophia’s eyes.

She felt terrible at the thought of her former fans looking at her with mockery in their eyes when she was down and out.

She used to have tens of millions of followers, at least. But then, her followers dropped to 200, 000. Now, she only has tens of thousands of fans on Twitter, including some fake fans bought by the company.

She was not reconciled to having all her previous efforts erased and now being beaten back to her original shape.

“You still have the cheek to say that? Don’t you know what kind of a bitch you are? You created an innocent persona that deceived us into thinking you were a pure actress.

“I can’t believe you seduced men and sold your body. You played the victim, claiming Freya stole your role. We only recently found out that you were the one who stole her role. You’re a liar, always trying to drag others down.

“Why don’t you take a look in the mirror? You’re pathetic. And you expect us to keep supporting you? You disgust me, Sophia. You’ve lied to us for years, making us waste our money on your magazines, merchandise, and even your birthday parties. Give me my money back!” She shouted, her voice filled with rage, and lunged forward.

“Ugh.” Sophia tried to speak, but her stomach churned.

She dry heaved again, but the fan lunged at her, grabbed her hair, and slammed her to the ground.

Sophia’s eyes flashed crimson as she was pinned to the ground by the fan.

Her hand shot out, pressing against the fan’s chest with the ferocity of a wild animal.

As the fan’s hand came up to slap her, Sophia’s fingers dug into her chest with sudden force.

“You, you.” The fan gasped, pain lancing through her chest.

She looked down in disbelief, seeing Sophia’s fingertips buried in her flesh, twisting as if trying to rip her chest open.
The fan’s eyes widened in terror as fear coursed through her.

“You, you! No, she’s trying to kill me.” She screamed, and her body fell to the ground with a thud.

The others rushed forward and were about to speak when they discovered that the girl had fallen to the ground. The clothes on her chest were stained red with blood. She was lying on the ground in pain, struggling.

Sophia panicked and quickly withdrew her hand.

Looking at the fan who had fallen to the ground, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said, “A harmful demon.”

Ignoring whether the other party was dead, she turned around and was about to leave. The others wanted to step forward to stop her but were a little scared, so they quickly reached out to help the fan up.

“Oh my god, her chest is bleeding.”

“Open her clothes and take a look.”

“I saw Sophia poke her in the chest just now, but I didn’t see a dagger in Sophia’s hand.”

“Could she be a ghost? I saw her eyes were red just now.”

These were all little girls who loved chasing celebrities. After the incident, they panicked and didn’t know what to do.
“What should we do? Should we call the police or an ambulance now?”

“Oh my god, she doesn’t seem to be breathing. What should we do?”

At that moment, the dozen or so little girls were terrified. They had never encountered such a thing before, and they panicked.

“Isn’t this Magic Entertainment? Is Odalys here? She’s good at medicine. She will save her, right?” A fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said wisely.

The others looked at each other.

“But we are fans of Sophia and have discredited Odalys before. How could she possibly still help us save her?”

“Let’s try our luck. I’ll go ask her,” one fan said. She quickly walked toward Magic Entertainment. At that moment, Odalys and Celeste walked in. She looked closely at the ancient emerald in her hand and wanted to see if she could peek into any memories inside.

“Odalys. Oswald asked me to tell you not to force things too much and that letting nature take its course is the best,” Celeste said quickly after praying and seeing her holding the ancient emerald in a daze.

She didn’t know what this ancient emerald was for.

But she was a smart person. She vaguely guessed something from when she handed the ancient emerald to Odalys and watched her reaction.

These ancient things that had been passed down were about fate.

In the hands of someone who was not destined, it was just a valuable item, but in the hands of someone who was destined, it was a treasure. Oswald never brought out the ancient emerald but asked her to give it to Odalys this time. She assumed that this thing was destined for Odalys. “You’re right.” Odalys smiled.

Celeste stepped forward, took her hand, squeezed it lightly, and said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Live in the moment, and enjoy life.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside.

Evander walked in agitatedly, followed by Dorian, who was swearing behind him.

“Mr. Stewart, just now, Hannah gave me a hotel card with a room number, saying she wanted to meet you at the hotel to discuss something. Humph!

“She also said that she wants to talk to you about some important matters regarding Odalys and told you to be there.

“I don’t think she has good intentions. She must be up to no good with you.” As Dorian spoke, he handed the hotel card to Evander.
Evander took the card, glanced at it, and tossed it onto the table.

“What is she after? My aged body?” Evander felt insulted.

Dorian scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, and put the card on the table.

“Well, Mr. Stewart, it’s true that you’re old, but you’re still charming,” Dorian said teasingly. Evander couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. The two of them talked as they walked inside. Finding Odalys and Celeste sitting there talking, Evander hurriedly took out his coffee beans and walked over, preparing to make them some coffee.

“Evander, what were you guys talking about?” Odalys asked jokingly, looking at him with a smile.

As he made coffee, Evander said, “Hannah just stopped me outside.”

“She’s Hannah? I thought it was a pervert, Odalys. This woman is outside, trying to seduce Mr. Stewart, and even booked a room for Mr. Stewart to go with her. She is a middle-aged woman. Her husband is still alive, but she set her sights on Mr. Stewart.” Dorian was furious at the thought that such a woman had set her sights on Evander.

“What?” Celeste was startled.

She had heard of outrageous things, but she had never heard of anything that outrageous.

Hannah had been in the news and was keeping a low profile. Many people said that she had multiple fractures and other injuries and that the hospital had refused to take her in.

“Didn’t she have injuries? How did she get here?” Celeste was confused.

She felt like the rumors were a little unreliable.

Chapter 547

Odalys heard this and answered, “She contacted Oliver, and Oliver used black magic to set her bones. So, naturally, her injury healed.”

Hearing her say that black magic could heal broken bones, Celeste couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

“Can black magic heal broken bones? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to avoid going to the hospital if one gets hurt?” Celeste asked curiously. After all, she had never heard of such a thing.

Odalys shook her head.

After making the coffee, Evander poured a cup for each of them and handed it over.

“It’s called black magic. Naturally, it’s something evil and unorthodox. The runes potion can forcibly heal all the pain in her body, but it’s naturally an illusion. She thinks she’s healed, but the truth is, after the runes potion wears off, her injury will become even more serious.”

“Isn’t this what Percival mentioned before? Is it similar to the way you stitched Finnian’s wound?” Evander listened and pulled a chair over to sit down.

Evander asked curiously as he drank his coffee. Dorian couldn’t stay idle either. He quickly washed the fruit he had brought over and brought it to the side.

“Yes, it’s similar, but Oliver’s method creates an illusion, while mine heals the wound. Finnian will truly recover if he doesn’t touch water within a month,” Odalys explained.

Celeste listened and then brought the topic back around.

She said, “So, why did she come here and ask Mr. Stewart to meet her in a hotel room? I don’t think the Bennett family has anything to do with the Stewart family. Besides, the Bennett family has severed ties with you, and your affairs are none of her business to discuss with Mr. Stewart privately, right?

“Besides, you’re right here. Why would she need to talk to Mr. Stewart about something she could discuss with you directly?” Celeste’s eyes held a hint of doubt.

This whole thing sounded fishy.

“So it was her.” Odalys pondered.

She had previously warned Percival about Evander’s romantic crisis, advising him not to have too much contact with outsiders or go to gatherings with friends, fearing something might happen.

A romantic crisis, in severe cases, could even lead to loss of life.

Now, Odalys learned that Hannah booked a room and invited Evander to discuss matters, even using her as a cover. She felt things had become more intriguing.

Hannah couldn’t help but think, ‘So, this romantic crisis isn’t some stranger. It’s Hannah.

‘She invited Evander to a hotel room. She must have had an ulterior motive. Perhaps she planned to have someone catch them in the act, or she might even drug Evander.

‘If it’s the latter, what does she see in Evander?

‘Does she want to get pregnant with Evander’s child, like Edie did back then? A shotgun wedding?’

Thinking of this, Odalys’s silence was almost deafening. It was simply refreshing her worldview.

‘Hannah and Windsor just broke up not long ago, and she’s already thinking about finding another man, and she’s even targeting Evander. This is too ridiculous, Odalys thought.

“She has her eyes on Mr. Stewart? How dare she set her sights on the Stewart family? Doesn’t she have some gerontophilia?” Celeste blurted out.

As soon as she said this, she felt she seemed to have offended Evander.

Celeste stood up quickly, a little at a loss, but still maintained an elegant posture.

“Mr. Stewart, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that just now.” Celeste panicked a little.

She hadn’t interacted with Evander before. If she offended the Stewart family, it would be detrimental to the Tillery family. There wasn’t much overlap between the Tillery and Stewart families.

It was only after meeting Odalys that the Tillery and Stewart families began to interact and cooperate.

“It’s alright. You’re not the only one who thinks so. I also doubt Hannah’s motives. What does she want from an elder like me? Does she think I still have something she can take advantage of?” Evander sneered.

He wouldn’t even give this kind of trick a second glance.

Odalys didn’t say anything. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a figure rushing in from outside.

“Odalys.” The girl rushed in with great urgency. She saw that Odalys was getting up with a cup in her hand and noticed her noble aura.

Even though Odalys only wore a simple blue and white floral dress with her hair tied back in a ponytail, her casual attire couldn’t hide the elegance she exuded.

The girl suddenly felt inferior. She didn’t dare to look at Odalys directly.

She didn’t expect Odalys to be here. More importantly, Odalys was even more beautiful than she appeared on the show. Her skin was flawless and rosy, even without makeup.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Odalys asked quickly.

As she spoke, she quickly put down her cup. The girl watched as she approached. Feeling a mix of anxiety and timidity, she turned around and blurted out, “Outside, Sophia killed someone.” “Killed someone?” Odalys’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

She felt something terrible might happen today, so she came here in the morning. However, she didn’t expect someone to get injured for real.

“Yes. Sophia just hurt her fan. I’m also Sophia’s fan.” Her eyes reddened as she spoke, and she quickly grabbed Odalys’s sleeve.
“Although we are Sophia’s fans, we won’t like her anymore. Can you please save her? She is dying.” The girl said, bursting into tears.

Odalys’s heart sank as she listened.

“Don’t cry yet. No matter whose fans you are, I’ll go and take a look first,” Odalys said.

She didn’t care if the other party was her fan.

For her, everyone was the same as long as they were kind.

Besides, she couldn’t ignore it when something happened to someone right before Magic Entertainment’s door.

With that in mind, Odalys strode out. Seeing this, Celeste put down her cup and followed her out. Evander and Dorian also followed behind.

After they came out, they saw more than a dozen little girls standing there at a distance, not knowing what to do.

A little girl was lying on the ground, her chest stained red with blood. She lay there motionless, her eyes wide open, as if staring at something. “Make way, make way for me.” The fan at the front rushed over.

She waved her hand quickly, and the other girls dodged away.

They couldn’t believe that Odalys had come out, and she was walking with such vigor and without any hesitation. It was the first time they saw Odalys, and they were almost stunned.

“She is so beautiful.”

“Oh my god, she is much prettier than Sophia.” They were so scared just now that they seemed to have lost their souls when they saw Odalys. Someone immediately started a live broadcast, pointed the camera at Odalys, and said, “Oh my God, I see Odalys. She is so beautiful. Her figure is perfect, and her skin is flawless. It seems that she has not had plastic surgery.”

Thousands of people immediately surged into the live broadcast about “Odalys”.

Some people seemed particularly concerned about Odalys and were waiting online.

“What’s going on?” People in the live broadcast room saw the chaotic scene and were confused. Fans quickly explained, “We just passed by and met Sophia. She went crazy and hurt a fan who had stopped liking her, and now she has escaped.”

Chapter 548

“The injured fan doesn’t seem to be breathing. We happened to be at Magic Entertainment and asked Odalys to help. Odalys is nice. She doesn’t put on any airs at all. She came out immediately when she heard someone was injured.” The fan said, but her tone showed a hint of pride.

She wasn’t Odalys’s fan, but now she felt like she was.

The other fans stood aside, also secretly looking at Odalys.

Odalys stepped forward, squatted down, reached out to check the fan’s pulse, and whispered, “Dorian, please go and get my medicine box.”

The fan was injured in the chest and couldn’t move now, so she could only get the medicine box here.

“All of you stand back and don’t block the light,” Celeste said quickly.

A dozen fans quickly formed a circle around her, shielding her from outsiders’ view. They kept a respectful distance from Odalys, careful not to block the light.

Everyone held their breath in the live broadcast room as they watched Odalys check the pulse and tear open the fabric around the wound. They saw the injury. It seemed that something had pierced her chest, causing a wound to split open.

Blood continuously seeped from the wound in her chest.

“Wow, who is this woman? She has such an amazing aura.” Someone exclaimed in surprise as they noticed Celeste.
Her aura screamed elegance and wealth.

She wore a dark green evening gown, her hair half-up, with light makeup. Despite the simple attire, her elegance was evident.
“She looks like a wealthy lady, perhaps the wife of a rich man.”

“Her aura is incredible. Odalys’s friends are just like her, all beauties with grace.”

As they watched Odalys and Celeste, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn’t help but express their admiration.

“Hold on, isn’t the point that someone got hurt? And that Sophia is the one who caused it? Is the price of stopping liking her death?”

“That’s right. Was Sophia trying to kill everyone who stopped liking her? How lawless she is! Is there no surveillance? Call the police and arrest her.”

This incident caused outrage in the live broadcast room.

Some were young fans, some were adults, some were working professionals, and some were even older audience.

In the face of these things, no one could tolerate them.

“Sophia hurt her fans, and Odalys had to clean up the mess for her. It’s so ridiculous!” Some of Odalys’s fans were a little bit upset about it.

“At that moment, Dorian arrived with the medicine box.

“Open the medicine box,” Odalys said.

Her hand had been pressing on the fan’s chest. Blood had stained her hands red, and her skirt was also stained with a lot of blood, but she didn’t care.

Dorian hurriedly opened the medicine box, and Odalys set the scalpel aside.

She gently cut the injured fan’s chest, causing some bewilderment among the onlookers. They thought she was saving her, but unexpectedly, she made another cut.

“Why another cut? She’s not dead yet. There’s no need for an autopsy.” A fan was terrified. She subconsciously screamed, watching as Odalys made another cut and blood continuously seeped out. She was shocked.

As the fans were shocked, the girl, who had stopped breathing, suddenly took a deep breath, followed by continuous coughing.
“Don’t move,” Odalys whispered.

Because the Injury was on her chest, after the air entered her chest, she suddenly couldn’t breathe, resulting in a phenomenon of suspended animation. The cut she had just made was to release the air.

“O-Odalys?” The fan asked after waking up.

She looked at Odalys in a daze, obviously not understanding what had happened.

Odalys ignored her and quickly treated her wound, disinfecting, stopping the bleeding, and applying medicine. She moved swiftly, and before anyone could see clearly, she had accurately taken the medicine and treated the wound.

Odalys treated the wound, which was still bleeding, in a minute.
“Can you move?” Odalys asked.

The wound had looked serious at first, but it was not as bad as it seemed. It was on her chest, but it was not deep. She didn’t need to go to the hospital after being treated.

“Yes, I can.” The fan said as Odalys helped her up.

The other dozen or so fans watched in astonishment.

They thought she was dead, but after Odalys cut her, treated the wound quickly, and stopped the bleeding, she could stand up.

“The wound is not too deep. Pay attention to your diet after you go home, and don’t let the wound touch water. It’s to avoid infection and inflammation. If you’re worried, go to the hospital tomorrow to change the dressing.” Odalys advised.

The wound on the fan’s chest was the same as Atlas’s.

Atlas’s chest was torn open, but the fan was only stabbed, not torn open, so there was nothing serious.

But the fan didn’t expect Sophia to be so insane as to hurt her fans in daylight.

They didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if it were at night and no one was around. She might have been dead.

“Thank you!” The fan’s eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Odalys, her eyes sparkling.

Odalys smiled and waved her hand at her, without saying anything more.

“Sophia just hurt me. I want to call the police,” the fan said furiously.

Odalys heard what they said, but didn’t want to intervene in this matter.

Everyone had their cause and effect. When she was a fan of Sophia, she did many wicked things. So, the fact that Sophia injured her was the outcome of her previous behaviors.

“I’m no longer a fan of Sophia, and she just…” The fan said to the live camera.

Dorian listened and also remained silent. He packed the medicine box, carried it, and followed behind Odalys.

Seeing that the matter was over, Celeste followed Odalys and walked into Magic Entertainment.

These fans were silent outside for a long time. After they went inside and prayed, they called the police. Soon the police came. After understanding what had happened, they took them all back to the police station for questioning.

“How dare Sophia hurt someone on the street, and the other party is still her fan?” Celeste was quite surprised.

She didn’t understand the intricacies of fandom in the entertainment industry, but her daughter nearly lost her life because of her love for Sophia.

Now, another young girl had collapsed due to her admiration for Sophia.

‘It’s terrifying to imagine the darkness such a person harbors, Celeste thought.

“Calling the police was futile, as the security cameras couldn’t capture the incident from that angle. Moreover, when the girl collapsed, many people lifted her clothes to check.

“Her body is covered in many people’s

fingerprints, and after I bandaged her wounds, Sophia’s fingerprints should be gone,” Odalys said softly.
This explained why she remained silent earlier.

It wasn’t that she was cold-hearted, but some things were not her place to interfere with.
“I see.” Celeste finally came back to her senses.

Chapter 549

‘No wonder Odalys left immediately after treating the girl’s wounds,’ Celeste thought. “Unless she doesn’t want to live anymore and insists on preserving evidence instead of stopping the bleeding,” Odalys added, “but just now, her chest was injured, which caused her breathing difficulties. If she didn’t receive timely treatment, she would have died at the door.

“Even if we called the police just now, there’s no evidence to arrest Sophia.

“The most important thing is that Sophia’s fortune is wicked. She hurt people before, but the police let her go because she was pregnant. “It is said that bad people live a thousand years. There’s some truth to this saying. Sophia is lucky. Otherwise, she can’t make it to where she is today.” Odalys finished her assessment.

Then, she thought, ‘To deal with this kind of person, we have to torture her slowly, making her lose what she has bit by bit.
‘We also need to seek justice for all the people she has harmed before.

‘Otherwise, people may feel indignant.’

“Her fans watched the livestream just now, so they might see you. Let your public relations team do something if you don’t want your face to be exposed,” Odalys reminded kindly.

Celeste waved her hand.

She had kept a low profile because she didn’t want to cause trouble for the Tillery family.

She was different from Hannah, who was flamboyant and vain.

She didn’t need to show off because the Tillery family was so powerful and influential that only its name could intimidate others.
“It’s okay as long as you won’t get affected.” Celeste gave Odalys a gentle smile.

Right then, her phone vibrated. After the talk over the phone, she drank up the coffee in her cup and then got up.

“Blossom is home, so I will have to go cook for her. See you around,” Celeste said casually. She took her LV bag and waved to Odalys.

Evander got up to see Celeste off, and she did not refuse his hospitality.

“It was an honor to the guests if Evander personally saw them off.

“Evander,” Odalys said in a low voice.

Hearing the call, Evander quickly stopped making coffee, looked at Odalys with worry, and asked softly, “Odalys, what’s wrong?”
“The danger I mentioned may come soon. Don’t dine out with your friends, and you should be wary of women lately,” Odalys explained.

“Hannah just asked you out. Don’t go. I know that you want to pump her for Information, but Percival and I hate to see you risk your life. “When necessary, stay at home. Once something bad happens to you, the entire family may be in danger. You may be used as a tool to contend with Percival.

“For the sake of the Stewart family and Percival, be good, okay?

“Besides, the thing I brought back and buried under the tree won’t wake up if you die,” Odalys said after a moment of hesitation.
To prevent Evander from making a blunder, Odalys felt it necessary to be candid.

She was afraid that Evander didn’t take her warning seriously.

At such a moment, candor could help.

“Don’t worry, Odalys. I will do whatever you tell me.” Evander was terrified.

Because of what Odalys had just said, he decisively gave up his appointment with Hannah. “Dorian.” Odalys stood up and looked at Dorian.

Hearing the call, Dorian quickly turned around and trotted towards Odalys. “Mrs. Stewart, what can I do for you?” he asked respectfully.

“From now on, stay around Evander, and don’t let him leave your sight. He can stay in Magic Entertainment or the Stewart Villa. No
appointments with others, especially with women.

“If he wants to go out, knock him out. I will be responsible for the consequences of this order,” Odalys whispered.

Dorian was startled.

It seemed things were much worse than he had thought.

“That woman just asked Mr. Stewart out. Something bad will happen if he keeps the appointment, right?” Dorian asked in a trembling voice.

His lips were dry, so he quickly took a sip of coffee to calm himself.

“People meet Evander when they need something, especially Hannah. She dumped me and wanted me dead, so what do you think she will do to Evander?

“She tried to kill me, her daughter, so how will she treat Evander, an outsider?” Odalys said exaggeratedly.
As expected, Dorian’s face darkened.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Stewart, I’ll bear your instructions in mind,” Dorian said.

Odalys turned around, took a pack of powder from her kit, and handed it to Dorian. “The knockout drops. When necessary, you can use them to make Evander unconscious.

“He won’t wake up in two hours,” Odalys explained.

Dorian’s palms were sweaty. Dorian hurriedly wiped his hands and took the pack of powder from Odalys.

After the talk with Dorian, Odalys secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still had a bad feeling.

“Evander, thank you again for helping me run my company. I will have to go now,” Odalys said to Evander with a smile. She walked over and draped a thin blanket over his shoulders.

She adjusted the blanket for Evander and then said, “It is cold in winter, so you’d better wear a coat when outside.”

“Okay, okay. I will do whatever you tell me.” Evander’s eyes were full of tears.
Evander was moved when Odalys draped the blanket over his shoulders.

He wanted a daughter, but all the offspring of the Stewart family were boys. After Odalys married into the Stewart family, his life seemed different.

Once again, he had the feel and taste of home.

Before Odalys’s arrival, he and Percival seldom had meals at home, let alone the merry family dinners. He had been busy, and Percival had been a workaholic who was too busy to go home.

Thanks to Odalys, Percival tried to come home early now.

“Okay, bye,” Odalys said with a smile.

She walked away with her canvas bag, and Dorian hurried to see her off at the door. Watching her leave, he clenched the pack of powder in his hand. He was under pressure.

“By the way, I cast a spell, so neither the Bennett family nor the people with evil spirits can enter the company,” Odalys suddenly turned around and said to Dorian.

“I see.” Dorian suddenly saw light.

That was why Hannah failed to get into the company.

Thinking, Dorian felt relieved a bit as it was safe for Evander to stay in Magic Entertainment.

Chapter 550

With her bag, Odalys went to get her car. Then, she saw a tall figure leaning against it. Holding a cigarette between his fingers, the man took a drag, lifted his chin, and blew smoke rings towards the sky.

“Lee?” Odalys recognized the man and hurried over.

Hearing the sound, Lee hurriedly threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it with his foot.

“Ms. Stone.” Lee quickly straightened his uniform. Odalys looked around and found Lee alone. The two cigarette butts on the ground indicated that he had waited there for quite a while.

“What’s up?” Odalys asked directly.

After a moment of silence, Lee opened his car door, took out a pile of documents, and handed them to Odalys.

Odalys was confused. Not everyone was allowed to read the confidential documents of the police. However, Lee’s solemn expression suggested trouble.

Without any delay, Odalys quickly scanned through the documents.

“Are you suggesting that the drug dealer provoking me in my livestream may be involved in the illegal trade of human organs?” Odalys gasped in astonishment.

She had texted Lee when the drug dealer provoked her.

Lee led his men to block off the dock and caught the drug dealer in minutes.

It was shocking to find that the drug dealer had committed such a terrible crime.

Odalys was terrified. “Yes. Under Interrogation, the drug dealer confessed that someone had bought his drugs and offered him a good price to modify the vehicles. Those vehicles came from the black market, so there is no Information about them.

“That’s why we didn’t get alerted. As you instructed, we did find several cars.

“However, we haven’t found any suspects yet. Those vehicles were modified to be mobile operating rooms, and the victims were burned together with them after the operations of organ removal. The modification costs a lot of money.

“My men have worked on this case for days, but there is no progress. Nobody reports his car stolen. I think Francis has been chosen.” Lee voiced his speculation.

“Did you investigate the recent whereabouts of the drug dealer? The drug dealers at his level are cautious and prudent, and it isn’t easy to win their trust,” Odalys said.

Therefore, the culprit must be an old acquaintance of the drug dealer.

The drug dealer wouldn’t take the risk if possible.

He had confronted Odalys in her livestream because he thought that he could escape from the dock even if she called the police.

People like him knew the police well. A lot of calls should be made before the policemen could leave the police station.

In his imagination, he would be gone when the police arrived at the dock.

“However, Lee didn’t need to gain permission from his supervisor for his deployment, thanks to his outstanding records.

“Francis was chosen because he is in tough luck and tight with me,” Odalys murmured in a low voice.

Lee listened quietly and didn’t interrupt Odalys. Odalys said, “Edie tried to ruin me with drugs, so you may check whether she is in contact with the drug dealer.

“Where did Edie get the drugs? The answer may be a useful clue.

“Lee, the drugs Edie injected into me contained a curse worm, but it didn’t work on me.

“However, it can work on ordinary people.” Lee’s expression became worried.

“We will investigate Edie and Francis. Francis was chosen, and the culprit may not give up on him yet,” Lee said.

Odalys remembered that someone had played tricks on Francis and tried to take his body away.

She couldn’t help but suspect that Francis’s body was special.

“Okay.” Odalys nodded slightly.

She handed the documents back to Lee. When Lee turned around to leave, something came to mind. “Someone stood up for you and sued the Bennett family for the crime of abandonment. Knox called me this morning.

“I told him to take charge of the case since he is a witness to it. You help the police a lot, so I don’t want you to get distracted.”

Hearing this, Odalys was a little surprised.

Never had she expected the police to help with her personal matters.

“Please send my gratitude to Knox,” Odalys said, moved.

The police stood up for Odalys, but the Bennett family insisted that they had done nothing wrong.

“I will. We won’t spare the parents who abandon their children.” Lee grinned.

He put on his police hat and walked away. Odalys watched Lee’s retreating figure.

Suddenly, she saw the evil spirits swirling around Lee. She instantly chased after Lee while calling, “Lee!”

Unfortunately, Lee was speaking on the phone, and his gait was rapid. He got into his car and drove towards the police station. Odalys stopped, and her mind went blank.

[You’re in danger. Stop the car and wait for me.] Odalys quickly texted Lee.

However, there was no reply. She tried reaching him, but he was still on the phone.

Odalys’s palms were sweating with anxiety. Odalys quickly got into her car and followed Lee’ s. Lee’s car took a turn, and so did Odalys’s. When Odalys planned to force Lee to stop his car with hers, a motorcycle sped out of an alley. Instantly, Odalys slammed on the brakes. She had almost hit the motorcycle. The punk who drove the motorcycle fell to the ground. He pointed at Odalys’s car and cursed, “Damn it! Who the hell hit me?”

The punk got up from the ground.

He ran over and raised his foot to kick Odalys’s car door.

Odalys rolled down her car window, took out a talisman, and flicked it at the punk’s forehead. The punk froze, stared at Odalys with wide eyes, and saw her take out a pile of cash and throw it at him.
