Chapter 308
The mere mention of Sophia made Freya furious.
“She’s been targeting Odalys all along, and now the Bennett Group’s reputation is completely ruined! Im worried the Bennett family will latch onto Odalys.” Selah said worriedly.
She felt that people who prioritized self–interest shouldn’t be underestimated
Stellan said with a hearty laugh. “The Bennett family is nothing to be afraid of We are no pushovers. That phone call my mom just made is enough to keep Hannah at bay for a while.
“The Bennett family will also guess that our family is Odalys’s harker. Even without the Stewart family, the Drake family fully supports Odalys. This will invisibly put pressure on the Bennett family, and they won’t dare to act rashly”
He picked up an apple and began to peel it.
Francis had been rather quiet, his fingertips pinching and gently rubbing a playing card.
Francis murmured. “Do you think Sophia being supported by the Bennett family has anything to do with fate? I feel like when someone excessively protects another, they must have ulterior motives”
“But what ulterior motives could they have on Sophia
Selah slammed her cards on the coffee table and said. “I feel like she’s good for nothing but trouble.”
Freya nodded in agreement
Just then, the door to the ward swung open and Odalys strode in. She saw the four of them gathered around the table playing cards, while Sienna and Dangelo were on the hospital bed.
“Odalys” Selah jumped up excitedly at the sight of her and rushed towards Odalys.
In a flash, Freya darted forward, quicker than Selah, and threw herself into Odalys’s arms. She wrapped her arms around Odalys’s slender waist, but before her hand could touch her waist, it was caught by a large hand.
“Ouch,” Freya let out a muttled groan of pain.
She was taken aback
She met Percival’s deep, dark eyes as he gripped her wrist and forcefully moved it away.
Freya froze while standing there in shock. Her lips moved slightly, then she covered Selah’s mouth with her hand and said, “This is not appropriate.”
“What? Selah was confused.
Seeing Percival’s tall figure standing behind Odalys, she froze. Her lips moved, but Freya covered her mouth tightly.
“Percival.” Dangelo was stunned.
He had been in a car accident, but his injuries were not serious. When he saw Percival, Dangelo’s pupils dilated slightly, and he subconsciously tried to get up from the hospital bed.
Sirma looked at him brand Dangelo, so she immediately sat up
“Stellan, it’s getting late. Do you and your friends want to go back to rest? Sienna asked in a low voice
Stellan stood there, watching Percival standing behind Odalys in a protective posture
Odalys was tall and slender, but neat in Percival, she seemed petite and delicate. Standing together, they seemed to radiate a captivating aura. “Okay. Im Hungry How about we go out for some food?” Freya immediately raised her hand.
Francis was the calmest of the group. After being betrayed by his girlfriend and then his agent, he was more composed than ever.
Seeing this atmosphere, he felt something was wrong. Moreover, peuple in the entertainment industry knew how to read between the lines. Then I’ll go i
o out with them.” Odalys turned and said to Percival.

Percival raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said in a hoarse voice. “I’ll pick you up later.”
“No need.” Odalys said while lifting her foot and walking out
In the ward, although Sienna was injured, she still climbed out of bed, poured a glass of water, respectfully handed it over, and whispered. “Mr.
Stewart
but didn’t drink…
“Thank you” Percival took the water glass bu
He sat on the single sofa on the side and excluded an aura which made people dare not look directly at him.
Percival’s slender fingertips rubbed the edge of the water glass, and after a while, he put down the glass.
Dangelo said in a low voice. “Mr. Stewart, I have contacted the Tillery family! I didn’t expect that these people would actually dare to hurt the heir of the Tillery family”
If it weren’t for Mrs. Stewart and you this time. I’m afraid my wife and I would have died. If something happened to the heir of the Tillery family. then our two families would probably fall into the hands of others.”
He looked at Percival with some gratitude.
The Stewart Group controlled the lifeline of all enterprises around the world. Originally, these families had nothing to do with the Stewart family. but Percival still lent a helping hand to them
Percival said straightforwardly. “Orson has been following up on your physical condition. As far as I know, you are not the only one in a wealthy family who has cancer!
“Every family has unexpected events, either cancer or leukemia, and some even have gotten into car accidents. There are many accidents.
The people behind the scenes have been closing in on the plan, and they should be trying to speed up the pace and get rid of you.”
Dangelo and Sienna were silent.
Sienna whispered, “So, I just called Hannah and made a request to her to be nicer to Odalys! Let her know that Odalys has the Drake family as her backing.
“I want to see
ee if the Bennett family will make any moves next”
She was a strong woman whose ability was no less than that of Dangelo.
The Drake Group had grown bigger and stronger because she had contributed to it. Now that Dangelo had cancer, many important responsibilities naturally fell on her shoulders.
“You have contacted the Bennett family!” Percival frowned slightly.
Percival’s voice was low and husky, his tone casual yet chilling, his thoughts unreadable.
Sienna uid apprehensively, “Yes, I want to see Hannah’s reaction! The Bennett family has been in trouble lately, but Windsor has been abroad and hasn’t come back. I have to find a way to trick him into coming back.
Otherwise, there’s no telling what will happen next.
Just a mention of being nice to Odalys would surely make Hannah blow her top. As long as she was angry, she would make a move.
Inside the ward, it was quiet as the three of them talked in hushed tones.
Odalys ran out of the wand, cought up with the four of them, and put her arm around Freya’s shoulders as they walked into the elevator. “So, how did the audition for the show go today! Have you decided whether to sign or not?” she asked in a low voice.
“We signed it,” they said in unison.
They landed over the contract. Odalys glanced at it and was surprised to see that Damon Bourn had offered them a very generous salary
“I heard Mr. Bourn say that they want to invite us to participate in a variety show later on, but we didn’t agree. We want to finish filming this drama
first. Stellan said.
