Chapter 293
“You want en control Freya with drops, and now you’re blocking me again today. Don’t tell me you’re planning to try the same trick? But you don’t seem like you’re a match for me.” Odalys lowered her voice and said.
Edie, her face made up with delicate makeup, looked utterly haggard now.
with utmost respect. No one had ever dared to be this nude to her.
Since marrying into the Stewart family, everyone had treated her wi
But ever since Odalys married into the family, even Evander dared to lay hands on Edie, even going as far as throwing bricks at her.
Right now, Odalys was nothing short of her nemesis, her worst enemy.
Edie had known from the beginning that Odalys was tough, and living in Crownridge would only bring Edie bad luck, which was why she had asked the Bennett family to find a way to get rid of her. Yet here Odalys was, back after all these years.
“A” As soon as Odalys finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Edie’s wrist.
Edie screamed, feeling the sharp pain in her wrist as Odalys pulled something out of her bag. Sure enough, it was a syringe filled with a drug
“Are you addicted? Do you need me to give you another shot” Odalys asked softly, holding the syringe and slowly moving closer, pushing Edito keep retreating.
“Enough. I came here today to ask you one thing” Edir, her back pressed against a tree, looked at Odalys with a cold expression, not changing her
sauce.
Odalys stared back at her without saying a word.
“Is Percival really dead? Or is it a fake death to deceive everyone!” Edie asked in a low voice.
She felt something was off about Percival’s death. Aside from the night the Stewart family went out to buy flowers and prayed, there had been no further actions from them. Then, they kicked her out of the Stewart family
Now, the Stewart family had cut her off from everything, making her life a struggle. And this, she knew, was just the beginning
“Boring” Odalys responded to her question and turned to leave.
Edie suddenly grabbed her arm, holding onto her tightly.
“Odalys, take me back to the Stewart Villa. Even if Percival is dead, let me pray him. After all, he’s my son Edie almost pleaded
But Odalys didn’t miss the calculation flashing in her eyes.
“What are you planning?” Odalys leaned lazily against the car, idly fiddling with the syringe in her hand casually asking.
Edie was furious, wanting to scratch

an eyebrow at her words, looking displeased as she responded, “What, you want a share of the wealth?”
“No, the money is yours. I just want the Stewart Villa and the Stewart mansion” Edie said urgently.
Odalys was somewhat surprised by her response.
Seeing Odalys‘ surprise, Edie thought she had piqued her interest and continued. “Those two houses aren’t worth much in terms of the Stewart family’s wealth”
“So, the two houses go to me, and the money and company go to you.” Edie pressed on eagerly
was even more confused now.

way to make him die quietly,”
Edic’s face twisted with rage as she snapped. “He’s just an old fool. If you’re willing to bring me inside. I have a way to Odalys fell silent.
“Give me some time to think about in Odalys said. Edie noticed Calys‘ reaction and regained her arrogance.

She straightened her chest, standing tall, and sneered as she looked at her. “I’ll give you one day to think it over.”
“At this time tomorrow. I’ll call you. If you agree, we can meet here. I’ll handle everything else. All you need to do is cooperate and get me inside safely,” Edie said.
“Alright Odalys responded quietly.
Edie walked away with big strides, and as she passed Odalys, she shot a contemptuous glance her way.
Odalys stood there, watching as Edie left. Just then, a black sedan sped toward them. After Edie got in, the car made a quick turn and drove off.
‘She’s telling me her plan so easily?” Odalys furrowed her brow.
She had an inkling that Edie wasn’t a fool, but ever since she had met her that night, Edie had seemed incredibly foolish, different from what she had imagined.
Yet she couldn’t quite place what was different.
“What are you thinking about!” Percival’s pleasant voice suddenly broke the silence.
Odalys jumped at the unexpected sound, and when she regained her composure, she realized that Percival had somehow already arrived at her
side.
His car was parked not far off, evidently just having returned from somewhere.
“I just think your mother is a little strange. Earlier, she blocked me here just to discuss cooperating with me,” Odalys said frankly, not hiding anything from him
She felt there was no need to hide anything from Percival
“Cooperate?” Percival’s eyes flickered with slight confusion.
Odalys pulled out the syringe and handed it to him, saying, “This is wh
is what she prepared for me just now. If I didn’t cooperate, she probably planned
to give me a shot, just like she did to Freya last night”
“Fortunately, I was quick and managed to take the syringe out before she could use it.” Odalys said with a smile,
“With such tactics, how could she dare to act so violently? Odalys wondered.
She began. “She wants to conspire with me and get me to help her get into the Stewart Villa. She plans to go after Mr. Stewart. Afterward, she’ll give me all of the Stewart family’s wealth, while she takes the Stewart Villa and Stewart mansion.
“She only wants those two houses, which is strange. Could it be that she’s after the Stewart family’s energy field?
“Also, she’s been acting oddly. From the night she came to the Stewart Villa to test your situation, to last night when she tried to attack Freya, and now she’s blocking my way to propose cooperation.”
“Every move she makes feels off. She doesn’t seem like a fool, but her actions are all foolish. She doesn’t seem too sharp either. I can’t tell if she deliberately trying to confuse us, mislead us, or if there’s something else going on.” Odalys fell into deep thought.
Her actions didn’t seem like something a cunning, manipulative woman would do.
“That’s true. My grandfather mentioned that she’s been acting strangely for the past six months, often not coming home, sometimes staying away for half a month, sometimes even longer.
“She used to stay at the Stewart mansion, worrying that others might try to challenge her position as Mrs. Stewart. But now, she rarely comes home Percival said in a low voice.
He, 100, found something not quite right about the situation.
“Have you had anyone follow her? Or have you tested her in any way?” Odalys asked, voicing her suspicions.
Percival nodded slightly. He stood in front of her, hes tall frame blocking the glaring sunlight. “We’ve tested and followed her. We even took ample of her hair for examination to confirm it was really her
