Chapter 213
Henry’s eyes were wide with disbelief, unable to comprehend the gravity of the situation. He couldn’t believe that the Stewart family would actually stand up for Odalys.
“Otherwise you think Mr. Stewart shouldn’t stand up for his wife, just because you’ve mistreated Mrs. Stewart? And tell me. had a clear conscience, would you have done such despicable things?” Dorian’s chest puffed up with anger.
the Bennett family
The thought that Odalys had indirectly saved his life, curing his kidney stones with just a few doses of medicine, made him even more furious
He had almost lost his life to the stones; he was old enough to know they could
As he thought of this, Dorian’s expression grew even colder.
“Percival would never stand up for her. Odalys is a fake–our real daughter is Sophia Henry blurted out before he could stop himself.
He had hoped that Sophia could take Mrs. Stewart’s place.
He never imagined that the Stewart family would go to such lengths for a woman marrying for a “happy boost.”
If the Stewart family had noticed Odalys, they would have been on top of the world.
But they had made a grave mistake–they shouldn’t have let Odalys replace her.
“If anyone’s the one forcing us, it’s Odalys. She pushed us into having her replace the marriage, so Sophia should have been the one to marry i
y into the Stewart family. She is the true Mrs. Stewart, Hannah immediately added, her words matching her son’s sentiment,
Caspian, however, remained silent, still reeling from the weight of Dorian’s ominous words, especially the chilling “death” that still hung in the air. He recalled how he had been injured outside the hospital before, assaulted by a man, bitten by a dog, and stitched up with more than three hundred stitches. No one, not even the police, dared to investigate.
Now, hearing Dorian’s words, he began to understand. The man who attacked him back then must have been Percival.
No one could replace Odalys in the Stewart family, no matter how much they tried.
This meant that the Stewart family was acknowledging Odalys and standing firmly by her side. Whatever happened with the Bennett family was their issue, and they were ready to deal with the consequences.
Caspian felt his heart sink. He no longer dared to speak, realizing that if he did, his life would be in danger.
“Dorian, I admit that I’ve treated Odalys poorly. I’ve had time to reflect, Caspian suddenly spoke up, his voice strained with pain.
With difficulty, he pushed himself off the bed and, with a loud “thud, dropped to his knees, bowing deeply, “I owe her an apology. Please tell her that it was all my fault, that I shouldn’t have bullied her. If the Stewart family wants to settle the score with me, take my life. I deserve it.
Henry and Hannah looked on in shock as Caspian continued, “I hold 20% of the Bennett Group’s shares. I’ll give them all to Odalys, as an apology for my wrongdoings.”
The words hit Henry and Hannah like a thunderclap
“Fine. Let’s see if you’ll live up to your word” Dorian said with a satisfied nod.
He glanced at Henry and Hannah, then flung a pile of photos back onto the table with an irritated flick. “If you can’t see the truth, keep staring Don’t die thinking you’re innocent.”
With a loud “bang” Dorian slamned the car door shut as he left the room.
Once outside, le immediately pulled out his phone and, looking at the number he had been dialing, said in a low voice, “Evander, did you hear all
of that?
“I heard,” came Evander’s calms response. Though his leg had healed, he had yet to reveal his recovery, sitting in a wheelchair to avoid suspicion.
He was furious, however. How could someone else stand up for Odalys when he should have been the first? That thought gnawed at him, but he
tried to ignore it.
“Good work, Evander said, a slight smile curving his lips.
He suddenly remembered something else. “The one who said he’d give his shares to Odalys–get a lawyer over there and finalize it

“The Bennett Group’s collapse doesn’t matter. What’s hers is hers. Make sure she gets it all, Evander commanded.
“Understood. I’ll call the lawyer right away,” Dorian replied
Inside the VIP room, Henry and Hannah were still in a daze, unable to grasp what had just transpired.
“Caspian, have you lost your mind? Henry was furious. “What are you talking about? You’re giving your shares to Odalys? Are you out of your mind! After everything we’ve done to push Sophia into the Stewart family, you’re just giving away everything?”
Caspian gritted his teeth. He could barely hold his temper in check. “I was just talking. The Stewart family might not even want them.”
“Take a look at my wounds–over 300 stitches. Do you know who did this to me? Who hit me outside the hospital? Who let a dog maul me! All of this–the Bennett Group, the pressure we’re under, it’s all the Stewart family behind it.
“Haven’t you figured it out yet? It’s because Odalys has been accepted by the Stewart family, and we’ve crossed her. The Stewart family is settling scores now. I’m just trying to show loyalty. Do you really think the Stewart family cares about these shares?
“I think survival is more important. If you keep opposing them, then this is what awaits you. You’ll end up just like me, Caspian said. lying back down on his bed exhaustion and dread weighing him down.
Before anyone could react, Dorian stormed back into the room.
“Give him the contract,” Dorian ordered the lawyer.
He pointed at Caspian, and under the stunned gaze of everyone in the room, the lawyer stepped forward, starting the video recording. “Mr. Bennett, do you voluntarily give away all your shares in the Bennett Group to Miss Stone?”
Caspian was paralyzed with shock, staring at the lawyer, his mind unable to process the situation.
He had thought they wouldn’t accept his offer, but now, here they were, bringing a lawyer to finalize it.
“You own 20% of the Bennett Group, and also shares in a studio. Do you wish to give those as well?” the lawyer asked, handing him the contract.
Caspian stared at the papers in front of him, feeling as if they were crushing his legs. His hands trembled, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
Caspian tried to form words, but he couldn’t.
He wanted to say that he was just joking earlier, that it wasn’t meant seriously.
But when he saw Dorian, the lawyer, and the bodyguards standing outside, his lips moved, but no words came out.
The lawyer, seeing his hesitation, quickly placed a pen in his hand. “Just sign here.
T… Caspian gripped the pen but remained silent, his eyes filled with helplessness.
