Chapter 214
Casuan felt trapped, neither signing nor refusing seemed like an option.
“Can I have a moment to think about it?” Caspian finally asked.
There was no way he would give up his shares to Odalys. He wasn’t that foolish.
“So, you were joking with me just now?” Dorian’s eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp and unsettling
The pressure in his stare made Caspian’s heart skip a beat. The lawyer, standing beside him, sneered, “Looks like you’re making a joke out of this”
Well i
then, we’re leaving.” Dorian said, turning to walk away with the lawyer.
Caspian felt an unprecedented threat hanging in the air.
With the Stewart family involved and the way Dorian and the lawyer
er were walking out, he couldn’t even begin to imagine what would happen next.
“I’ll sign it,” Caspian blurted out, reaching for the pen, signing the document without hesitation.
Each letter felt like it was etched into his soul. His hands were trembling,
Henry rushed over in a panic, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as Caspian signed away the shares including his studio, to Odalys.
e, I’ll pass this along to Mrs. Stewart,” the lawyer said, collecting the contract and heading for the door.
“Fine,
Dorian gave Caspian a cold glance before following the lawyer out.
The room fell eerily silent, Caspian looked up jest in time to feel Henry’s slap. The force of it made Caspian’s lip bleed.
“Did you really give it to her? Those are our shares in the Bennett Group. Even if the business is stagnant now, if we manage to get back on our feet, Odalys could become involved in our operations, Henry seethed, his face twisted with anger and disbelief.
He couldn’t believe his brother had done something so stupid.
“Even if you didn’t sign, do you really think you could outmaneuver the Stewart family? You think Sophia has a chance of being accepted by them!” Caspian’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
“You saw how she acts in those variety shows, sitting on Rafael’s lap, hugging Atlas, and practically half–naked with Finnian. Do you really think the Stewart family won’t notice that?”
Henry’s expression faltered, a flash of doubt crossing his face as he recalled the time Sophia had deliberately lifted her skirt in the car, allowing him to touch her. He felt a pit in his stomach
“Do you think the Stewart family would want a woman like her? You saw the rumors about her and Finnian, and the pictures–those weren’t photoshopped”
“Do you know if she slept with Finnian!” Caspian continued, his voice laced with contempt. “A woman who’s been touched by every man, who even let a lonely old man grope her for food.”
Caspian stopped there, visibly disgusted by his own words.
Watching Sophia on those shows made him sick–he couldn’t even bring himself to admit she was his sister anyniore.
“Shut up, you’ve got it all wrong. She’s our

If we don’t help her, who will?” Henry snapped, voice rising in frustration.
Lying back on the bed, he looked at Henry and said, “So this is all for her? You risked the Bennett Group for Sophia?”
“Why else would the Bennets Group suddenly be suppressed? Why else are we all losing our jobs!” Caspian said with a cold smile. “The Stewart family is behind all of it, and you still don’t get it. It’s not about her being our sister. It’s about Odalys being accepted by the Stewart family. We’re just collateral damage –
“Do you really think Dorian is doing all this just to please Odalys?” Caspian’s voice dropped, his eyes narrowing. “If we don’t get out of their way, our
lives will be over.
Henry, however, wasn’t done. “No matter what, they won’t go as far as killing family.” Henry said, his confidence unshaken.

As he spoke, he noticed Hannali lying silently on the bed. Her face was pale, her breath shallow.
“Mom? Mom?” Henry called out in panic, rushing over.

His ribs ached as he hurried, reminding him of the time Dialys had kicked him. He clutched his side, but the he saw next. Harmah was unconscious, white foam bubbling from her mouth.
“Someone! Get help Henry screamed, hitting the bedside call button.
The doctor came in quickly, checked her vitals, and then said, “Hannah’s collapsed from the stress. As for the foaming, it looks like poisoning”
“Mr. Bennett, we’ve decided to discharge you today. We don’t have the time or resources to keep up with your issues We’re asking you to leave,” the doctor added coldly.
“Hannah first broke her leg, then her waist, and now she’s in pain all over and poisoned? What poison could she have gotten in the hospital! I have at feeling your Bennett family might be up to something shady” he said, his voice full of suspicion.
The doctor, clearly frustrated, responded, “You should just go home and sort things out. I’ve already processed her discharge. All that’s left is for you to pay the ball, and then you can leave.”
It was clear the doctor was trying to get them out
Henry’s jaw dropped.
They were being kicked out of the VIP‘ ward.
This had never happened before, especially with a high–paying client like them.
“What do you mean by this?” Henry demanded, barely containing his fury
“You can leave, but we can’t let you stay any longer. If you don’t pay up, we’ll be forced to act. The police are waiting outside, the doctor replied firmly.
Henry was left speechless. To be kicked out like this, while they were in the middle of a crisis? The sheer audacity of it was almost too much to bear.
“Tine, we’re leaving. Henry growled, pulling out his credit card.
The doctor made a call to confirm the payment, and soon after, a team of hospital staff came to pack up their things. It felt like they were being rushed out with no regard for their dignity.
As the nurses shoved them toward the exit, they didn’t even offer to transport them in a regular cor
No, they used an ambulance to cart then back to Bennett Villa–as if to make sure they didn’t linger a second longer.
“Unbelievable, Henry muttered under his breath, standing outside the villa, seething with anger.
Caspian, on the other hand, seemed oddly relieved. He couldn’t help but feel lucky he hadn’t crossed the Stewart family; otherwise, his leg might’ve

“Damnit,” he cuised, throwing the phone to the ground in frustration.
In the village, after finishing breakfast, Olalys and the others gathered together, ready to head out
