Chapter 230
She had wanted to say something all day but had held it in. She was also worried that speaking too much might bring trouble to Odalys, so she decided to ask for her opinion first.
“You can say it Odalys replied.
After chatting for a while on the phone, they ended the call.
Callum, driving, waited until she was done before he cleared his throat “Odalys, the bodyguards just sent a message,” he said.
“They’re asking if you were pretending to trust that old man all along, especially when you said you’d avenge him before leaving. Were you trying to trick him into revealing himself?”
Odalys couldn’t help but curl the comer of her mouth.
“Tell them this,” she said coldly “Today, I just gave him a little taste- blew up his grandson’s grave. If he continues to act out or tries

she had no intention of wasting more time on these people.
“Understood.” Callum replied softly.

When she had gone straight to that grave and detonated it, everyone was
stunned
Her decisiveness and sharpness hit them like a flash of light, illuminating their hearts. It was rare to see a woman so resolute. Most women would be crying and blindly tolerating, but not Odalys.
“So, now that the grave’s blown up, the wicked energy from the clothes in the pool is gone–does that mean my family’s safe now!” Percival asked softly
Odalys took out the herbs she had picked at the cliffside earlier and spread them out in front of her.
“Well, at least you’re feeling lighter, aren’t you?” she asked, her voice soft.
Percival nodded slightly. “Yes, indeed.”
Your grandfather must feel it even more. After destroying it, the wicked energy from the Stewart family should dissipate. Your uncle probably knew exactly where your family liked to order your clothes from”
“That’s how he used that old man. The old man hates the rich and was clearly eyeing the Stewart family’s fortune” Odalys paused, looking out the window as night fell and darkness took over the road.
The SUV sped down the street, yet couldn’t escape the cover of the night.
“So, he also wanted a share of the pic. Of course, his whole family is doomed. Helping others with their schemes, and knowing their secrets, never ends well for them. But he was just being used again” Odalys’s voice was calm but sharp.
Percival fell silent for a moment, then spoke, “So, the poison on his son was meant to control him!”
“It could be, or it couldn’t. He was already involved, so he got infected, but he’s been kept alive through medication. I just used his son to earn his
“He thought he could use me to
use me to cure his son, then latch onto you for protection. No matter who benefited, he thought he’d stay safe. He was so confident he could fool us, thinking we’re young and wouldn’t find the clues after so much time.
Odalys chatted with him casually, as if gossiping, without any weight on hier shoulders.
Just then, Percival’s phone vibrated.
He glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from home. He immediately answered.
“Grandfather?” Percival called out in a low voice.
Evander’s urgent woste came through, “Have you seen Odalys? Did you bring her back?”
“I saw her. She’s the car, Percival replied.
Upon hearing Odalys was in the car, Evander quickly switched to speakerphone. “Odalys, I just woke up from a nap and feel great. My body’s

suddenly so much better. Also, I had someone dredge up the clothes from the pool, and it’s broken into pieces now.”
He sounded frantic, not sure what to do with the shredded remains.
“Should I leave it as is, or what?” Evander asked, his voice tense.
Just waking up to find the pool had exploded was enough to give everyone a fright.
The Stewart family had strict rules forbidding outsiders from entering their estate–nothing dangerous was ever supposed to huppen here. Yet. there had been an explosion. The bodyguards were shaken. fearing they had failed in their duties.
But after a thorough search, no traces of explosives or any other combustible materials were found. All they could do was stand there, baffled, as they replayed the sight of water erupting right before their eyes.
“Leave it, I’ll handle it when I get back.” Odalys replied, clearly in control of the situation.
It was obvious Percival had already updated him on the day’s events, and Evander felt much more at ease just hearing Odalys’s voice
“Good, I heard you blew up that old man’s grandson’s grave. Is this related to the Stewart family? Evander asked, his sharp mind catching on quickly
He could feel the odd sense of lightness in the house. It was as though something had been lifted from above him, leaving the place feeling much fresher. A strange sensation, one that was hard to explain, but he felt something had changed.
The clothes belonged to the old man’s dead grandson. That’s why the wicked energy was tied to him. Now that I’ve destroyed his grave, that energy! will disappear with him. As for the pool incident, you don’t have to cover it up. Let people talk about it. The more chaotic it gets, the better. Let everyone feel uneasy and suspicious. Anyone with something to hide will be on edge.”
Evander chuckled at her words, clearly amused. “Look at you, little girl, speaking just like Percival. Must be that boy’s influence. Well, since that’s the case, I won’t bother you two. Come back soon. I have something ready to eat by the time you get here.”
With that, he hung up
Odalys handed the phone back to Percival and stared at the herbs, deep in thought.
Percival sat quietly, the dim light inside the car casting a soft glow on her. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then stopped as she put all the herbs away.
“Orson” Odalys called out, turning to the front passenger seat
Orson, who had been quietly listening, jumped a little when she called his name.
“Yes, Odalys, l’in here!” he stammered, raising his hand like a nervous schoolboy caught doing something wrong.
Callum chuckled softly, glancing at him with amusement.
Orson shot him a glare, but Callum just smiled and kept driving
“Can we get Dangelo’s medical records now? I’d like to see them,” Odalys asked.
Orson hadn’t expected this request, but quickly made a phone call. Within moments, the medical records and details were sent to his phone.
He transferred the information to an iPad and handed it to Odalys.
She took the iPad and began reading, her eyes scanning the screen with sharp focus,
