“I mentioned it to him. He probably went. Percival replied.
“For some reason, he and Odalys seemed to have an unspoken understanding. They didn’t need to say much to know what the other was thinking. This kind of connection between them felt almost like it had been Red long before as if it were destined
“Let’s go check it out.” Odalys said.

“After Odalys left earlier, Edie had rushed at him like a madwoman, even trying to push him into the road, just as a car sped by. If Percival hadn’t tracted quickly, he would ve been hit
She wasn’t for to be a mother Edie had always wanted Percival dead, all so she could take the Stewart family’s fomune. She had been abusing her position as his mother to get whatever she wanted.
