Chapter 310
Selah felt that no TV show or novel could top this drama
“Yes” Odalys replied
With a clatter. Francis’s fork Tell on the table. “Yet, Henry still sleeps with her?” he asked in disbelief.
It sounded simply unbelievable.
to even imagine.
Getting together with his mother’s friend and then being caught in bed by his
is sister was a scene so awkward it was hard to even i
“The Stewart family benefits from this. Otherwise, with the current state of the Bennett family, they would have gone bankrupt long ago. They have been surviving because Henry has someone backing him up, Odalys pointed out.
Stellan took a sip of beer, his fingers gripping his fork.
Stellan concluded. “It seems the Bennett family’s secrets run deeper than we imagined! Henry is willing to sell his body for the company, while Sophia is willing to sell hers for a Love Spell to get back at you.
“It seems that apart from Odalys, no one in the Bennett family is normal.”
Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door, and the private room instantly fell
ily fell silent. E
Everyone turned to look at the door.
“Who is it!” Francis stood up quickly.
A deep voice came from outside the door, “Excuse me, is Mrs. Stewart here? I am Lee Hersey
Hearing the familiar voice, Odalys nodded, and Francis stepped forward to open the door.
Lee walked towards her and said, “Sorry to dist
to disturb you, I happened to see you come in when I passed by!”
Seeing Lee, Odalys’s expression suddenly became serious.
“You are in danger,” Odalys suddenly said.
Her words instantly silenced the private room.
Everyone looked at Lee. The dignified look on his face made it impossible to ignore his presence.
Francis gestured for him to sit down, but Lee shook his head.
“There’s something I’d like to ask Mrs. Stewart for help with,” said Lee.
He stepped forward with a stack of documents, handed them to Odalys, and said in a low voice, “I heard you’re good at reading faces. I have some photos here. Could you tell me which of these people might be related to the case?”
ny lives at stake, any further delay would be disastrous.
After all, with so many
The police officers i
officers were eager to solve the case, but the bodies had been specially treated, making further investigation difficult.
“You don’t have to show them to me! I’ll go with you right now,” Odalys said in a low voice.
She slowly rose to her feet. Freya and Selah, upon seeing this, immediately called for the waiter to pack their food.
They followed Lee out. As he opened the car door, he felt a chill in his hand and turned to see Odalys placing a leaf on the back of it.
He took a closer look and recognized it as a pomelo leaf.
Folklore had it that pomelo leaves could ward off evil spirits.
I was unexpected that Odalys would give him a piece of pomelo leaf today. Lee looked at the leaf she handed him and subconsciously took it
She didn’t say anything, but turned and walked towards Stellan’s car.
“Are you going back, or…” Odalys asked in a low voice.
“No, we’ll go with you.” they all said at once.
Chapter 10
In fact, there was nothing to do after returning to the apartment. They had signed the contract today, and everyone was in a good mood. Knowing that Odalys was willing to make a nove, they knew that there must be something exciting to ser
“Okay, follow me,” Odalys whispered.
As soon as she finished speaking, Stellan started the car and followed Lee’s car. The two e
cars bypassed the bustling city and sped off towards the
The midnight suburbs were squirt, and the road was empty.
Lee was on high alert. As he was about to make a turn, he saw a shadow rushing towards him. He subconsciously turned the steering wheel and heard a long crush. The car crashed uno a rock on the side.
He slammed on the brakes, and the airbags in the car deployed. His entire body lurched forward. At that critical moment, he felt an itch in his palm, and a wave of heat rushed towards him.
That heat seemed to envelop him. He was knocked flying forward and saw the car’s windshield shatter, shards of glass flying towards him.
Lee wanted to dodge, but the force of the impact made it impossible.
His heart hung in his throat, He watched as the shard of gl
glass grew closer and closer. The next second, the leaf in his hand suddenly sprang out, deflecting the shard.
Lee grunted, his body bouncing back into his seat.
He coughed repeatedly. The front of the car was smoking. The airbags had deployed. His hand was cut by the glass.
His eyes were fixed on the spot where the glass had been, and then on the leaf that had fallen to the ground a short distance away, pinning several shards of glass beneath it
Lee’s heart was in his throat. He got out of the car and stood there.
The scene had been so surreal that he could hardly believe it himself
If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it was true,
“Lee, are you okay!” Francis quickly jumped out of the passenger seat and ran towards him.
Lee stood there with a complicated look in his eyes. He slowly turned around and looked at Odalys, who was not far away. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word.
“I’m fine.” Lee said hoarsely
Freya and Selah got out of the car and stood not far away, looking at the front of Lee’s car, which had been smashed. Their eyes fell on the back of his hand, which lud been scratched.
“Odalys, his hand is bleeding, and his car is wrecked. So he is really in danger, Selah said in shock.
She knew that Odalys was powerful, but she was still shocked to see her prediction come true again.
“Odalys, isn’t that the leaf you just stuck on his hand?” Freya pointed to the leaf on the ground, which was still stained with blood.
Odalys stood there and watched Lee’s face, which was full of shock and then bewilderment.
“Thank you for this,” Lee said in a low voice.
He was the one in the accident, and only he knew what had happened.
If it weren’t for the heat that had enveloped him, if it weren’t for that leaf, he would have been thrown out of the car. The glass would have pierced his forehead. He knew he would have died on the spot if that happened.
He was a veteran police officer who was very experienced in these matters
“You’re an upright person, and you’ve done a lot of good deeds. You should not die like this,” Odalys said sofily
Lee’s Adam’s apple moved. He turned to pick up his phone that had fallen to the side and made a call.
Then, he walked towards Odalys, stood in front of her, and looked at her. Although she was young, she seemed to radiate a lot of energy
“If I hadn’t gone to you tonight, would I be dead? Lee askest.
