Sophia struggled desperately, trying to push the motorcycle off her.
“But the bike was clearly custom–made, heavy beyond belief. She couldn’t budge it, and she was pinned under it, squashed flat on the ground.
“Meanwhile, Percival turned around, standing tall and looking down at her.
“If you dare harm her again. I’ll kill you,” Percival said coldly.
Sophia lay there in shock, her entire body aching, her pupils wide with disbelief.
“She couldn’t believe the man in front of her would go so far as to take revenge on her and hurt her just to defend Odalys.
“She couldn’t understand what was so special about Odalys, why this man was so protective of her, like she had the support of the whole Tillery family, always ready to stand by her side, ready to fight for her
“Have these people lost their minds! Odalys, some country bumpkin, what’s so special about her? I was raised as the precious daughter of the Bennett family!’ she thought.
“Quick, help move the bike and check if she’s dead,” the officer hurried over, instructing the others.
*A few people moved to lift the motorcycle. Halfway through, someone, for reasons unknown, suddenly grew impatient.
“With a loud bang, the person’s hand slipped, and the bike crashed down onto Sophia again.
“Sophia’s eyes widened in pain as blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. Her vision blurred, and as her body tensed, she passed out, her eyes rolling back in agony
“The officer pushed the motorcycle away, looking at Sophia’s severe injuries before dialing for an ambulance.
“See? This is what happens when she brings it upon herself. She’s done bad things, and now she’s paying the price.” Celeste’s voice suddenly cut through the silence.
“Her words hung in the air, causing the crowd to go still for a moment
“The president and his wife of the Tillery Group, who usually kept their distance from such matters, were now stepping forward to stand up for Odalys.
“Exactly. Who has a motorcycle that drives itself? It’s clear she’s done more wrong than we know,” Blossom chimed in quickly.
“The people around them nodded in agreement, and someone who had been live–streaming the incident shared it all over the internet
“[Sophia looks like she’s in deep trouble.]
“[She’s got a dark aura around her. It must be because she’s done too many bad things.]
[She framed others and had the nerve to act so righteous. Odalys has already shown her respect by ignoring her.
“[A fake daughter daring to act like this]
“So disgusting.]
Ugh, Odalys is so innocent]
“Everyone rallied behind Odalys, condemning Sophia.
“It was clear to everyone that Sophia was in the wrong. F public, it was enough to make anyone angry.
“In an instant, the Bennett Group was back in the spotlight.

Just when the Bennett family had started to lose their heat, their name was dragged through the mud once more.
“The police called an ambulance and took Sophia away. After apologizing to Odalys, the onlookers hurried off to post Twitter, spreading today’s events far and wide on social media.
“Only the three members of the Tillery family, Odalys, and Percival remained.

“Odalys, thank you for letting me get that off my chest today.
- y. I feel so
so much better now,” Blossom said as she rushed forward to hug Odalys.
“Odalys, caught by surprise, raised her hands in surrender.
“As long as you feel better.” Odalys chuckled softly, her voice hoarse.
“Mossom’s gloom lifted, and Odalys couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
“Odalys said, “Take these talismans, invite the people who attended Sophia’s wrap party, and after burning the talismans into ashes, make them drink in in water to ensure they don’t show any symptoms,”
“You also need to tell them not to blindly follow celebrities anymore,” Odalys continued, taking out a few talismans and handing them over.
Blossom eagerly accepted them, surprised and honored by the gesture.
Celeste’s eyes welled up with emotion. She had never believed in magic before, but now she was fully convinced.
If it hadn’t been for Odalys, the Tillery family would likely have fallen into the hands of the Bennett family, controlled by Sophia. The consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Odalys wasn’t just saving Blossom; she was safeguarding the entire legacy of the Tillery family, a heritage passed down through generations. At the same time, she had saved both Celeste and Harvey’s lives.
“You don’t need to say anything more. Just keep this in your heart and do more good in the future,” Odalys said, sensing Celeste’s thoughts.
“Celeste smiled faintly, not saying anymore. Any further words would feel unnecessary and pretentious
“Okay” Celeste responded.
On the other side, Harvey and Percival were talking. After a while, Harvey finally approached, thanked her, and then led Celeste and Blossom away.
“Odalys stood there, turning her head to glance at Percival, and a smile tugged at the comers of her lips.
“Mr. Stewart, you were pretty fierce just now. Odalys teased.
“She had already noticed something off about the motorcycle earlier.
“Percival remained calm, his demeanor unbothered. She guessed it had to be his doing.
“Why not? Should I have just let her bully you in front of everyone! If it weren’t for the fact that hitting a woman’s not really my thing. I would’ve kicked her a few times myself, Percival replied in a deep voice.
“Odalys couldn’t help but imagine the scene.
“Her smile deepened, her beautiful eyes squinting into crescent–shaped slits, sparkling like bright stars.
“Edie was arrested. Percival continued.
She was taken aback. Everyone in Crownridge knew Edie was Percival’s mother and had once been part of the Stewart family.
“Even though Edie had intentionally started a fire earlier, it hadn’t caused any real damage. Normally, the police would turn a blind eye and not arrest her unless someone had given orders from behind the scenes
“You had the police arrest her?” Odalys asked in surprise.
“Odalys could tell that Edie was in a state of bad luck and wasn’t thinking clearly. She had expected her to do something reckless, but she hadn’t anticipated Percival would personally take action
She started the fire deliberately to harm you and u Stewart family was weak,” Percival said coldly,
tried to scheme against the Stewart family. If I didn’t teach her a lesson, she’d really think the
“Though it was her fault my father died, there’s no solid proof that she killed him,” he continued. “But over the years, she’s secretly supported the Simpson family, helping them grow into a force that can’t be ignored.
“She’s become a criminal in her own right. Now, she’s trying to marry into the Bennett family, aligning with them to plot against you.”
“If I don’t act and send her away now, she’ll truly think the Stewart family can be pushed around Percival finished in a hard tone. “Originally, he had planned to avoid confronting Edie directly, instead using her to draw out the mastermind behind the scenes.

But now, Edie was acting like a madwoman. If he didn’t clamp down on her now, the consequences would be disastrous,
“Arresting her is fine. Since she’s chosen to team up with Sophia, we can use this opportunity to ruin both their reputations.
“Destroy them both, and the Bennett family will have no choice but to act, which will surely lead them to the Simpson family. Odalys said, her face
serious.
She gazed up at the pale blue sky, faintly sensing an invisible force pressing down on her. She swung her hand in a subtle motion, and in the distance, there was the sound of something shattering as that oppressive energy dissipated.
“Even Percival, standing nearby, felt a sudden sense of relief. He glanced at her in surprise, and she silently withdrew her hand.
“Edie’s been so brazen in her dealings with the Stewart family because someone’s been watching the family for a long time, intending to take it for themselves. They must be after something besides the Stewart family’s energy field. I’m sure there’s something else they desperately want,” she said.
