“Hat he can’t easily get his hands on this thing. Even if he does, it might end up destroyed. The only way he can truly claim it is if he takes over the Stewart family and becomes one of them“Odalys revealed her inner speculation.
all it took, was eliminating the people from the Stewart family, things would have been much simpler, with no need for all this complex
maneuvering
“Rich people tended to think in straightforward terms, just acting without hesitation.
“But those pulling the strings behind the scenes luve been working on this for a long time. They must have been planning for quite a while now.
“Our assumptions are the same,” Percival spoke with a low, serious tone.
Percival’s e eyes gleamed with admiration as he looked at Odalys. He swallowed hard, his broad hand tightening into a fist, trying to suppress the joy bubbling inside him.
“At that moment, he realized how perfectly aligned his thoughts were with Odalys. Their minds and ideas were almost in perfect harmony.
Odalys continued, “So, everything, from her scheming to get into your father’s bed, to her pregnancy and marriage into the Stewart family, was all planned from the start. It wasn’t just an accident.
“Yet your father’s death probably was an accident. I suspect your father must have found out something, which threw them off. They acted recklessly, and that’s what led to your father’s death. Their plan was then forced to come to a halt.”
“Otherwise, with your grandfather’s sharp instincts, he definitely would have noticed something. Or maybe your grandfather already realized there was a problem, but he pretended not to know, all to protect you,” Odalys said softly.
“Evander had never said anything, but he was clever. Anyone who could survive the battlefield and take control of the entire Stewart family had great wisdom.
“Yes,” Percival replied hoarsely.
The two stood there, gazing at
at each other, silent. Time seemed to freeze as if everything around them had come to a standstill.
“Odalys looked at Percival, standing before her like a master si
strategist. She noticed the calmness in his
eyes.
“Odalys suddenly felt a little parched and quickly raised her hand in front of her
“It’s getting a bit warm. I’ll head back to the company. Odalys said, almost as if she was trying to escape. “She quickly walked toward the company, while Percival followed closely behind her. He trailed her all the way to the

“Hi, Mr. Stewart.” Callum a
“Got it. Don’t tell her about this just yet, Percival replied.
Callum nodded, turning and heading to the car with the keys in hand.
“Percival stood outside for a while, then called inside, “Odalys, I have something I need to take care of. I’ll come by to pick you up later tonight.”
“Odalys didn’t reply, but Percival knew she had heard him.
Turning he hurried to his car, and as the Maybach made a U–turn and drove away, Odalys stepped out of the building. She said nothing just stood there watching as his car disappeared from her view
“He likes you” Evander said, holding a
g a coffee cup, following behind her
“Odalys didn’t deny it, but she didn’t respond either.
Feelings were strange, elusive, something one couldn’t see or touch, yet
yet one could still feel them in a real and undeniable way
“The shackles binding him will soon disappear, Odalys suddenly spoke up.
“She had noticed the invisible connection between Percival and Edie.
Chapter 385
“It was the kind of bond that existed only between family members. But that bond had been growing weaker, almost transparent. With just a little force, it could snap and break completely.
“He’ll have to face it sooner or later.” Evander said meaningfully.
“Percival’s choices would determine the fate of the Stewart family.
“Anyone who could take action against their own mother was ruthless. Percival had always remained neutral, wanting to see if Edie would back off. But Edie’s arrogance had crossed the line for Percival.
“Why did you choose me back then!” Odalys suddenly asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
“The Stewart family was a top–tier family, and many women likely aspired to become Percival’s wife. Yet, Evander had specifically chosen the daughter of the Bennett family.
“Before time travel, Percival had often wondered why it had to be her.
Evander began. “When Percival was young, he had an accident and was saved by a great master. The master had said that if something were to happen to him in the future, the one who could break the situation would surely be the daughter of the Bennett family.
I didn’t pay much attention to it back then, but when Percival was poisoned by a strange toxin that no one could cure, not even the Lark family. and when he was given a death notice. I remembered what the master had said.”
“Though forcing you into marriage isn’t fair. I just wanted to give it a try. The Stewart family doesn’t lack wealth or power. I kept thinking that if you were to suffer, the Stewart farnily would make it up to you financially” Evander admitted openly.
“Odalys furrowed her brow, catching a crucial detail. “A great master?”
“Earlier, Percival had mentioned something about her entering his consciousness, seeing his time travel memories.

holding onto her as she was dying. What exactly
“Back then, Percival had thrown caution to the wind, driving straight into the Bent had happened afterward, Odalys didn’t know.
she sensed that everything that had occurred seemed to be connected to the great master Evander had spoken of
“Who is this great master? How can they predict the future? Is it just a mystery, or is there more to it?‘ she thought.
“He continued, “Yes, it was a great master, but I don’t know their name. All they told me was that Percival would face a trial in his life. If he could endure it, he would live; if not, he would die.
“If Percival dies, the Stewart family will definitely fall”
“He looked at Odalys with piercing eyes, while she furrowed her brow even tighter.
“Things will sort themselves out when the time comes. You don’t need to worry too much. Often, not everything has to fall on your shoulders,” Evander said with concern
“He knew Odalys was very responsible and that she would always lend a hand when needed.
“But he had a vague feeling that this was a huge trap, one aimed at the e Stewart family, and it might even involve other prestigious families.
This was a silent storm brewing, and it would cost lives, not just the lives of the Stewart family members.
“Okay” Odalys replied, her tone calm.
Evander handed her the freshly brewed coffee, and she took the cup, sipping it lightly.
“Mr. Stewart, I’m stepping out for a bit. If you need something, you don’t have to wait for me here. Just lock the door,” Odalys said
“She had given Evander the company’s front door key, ensuring that he could come in to pray when she wasn’t around.
“It was quite curious. The more people came to pray, the more Odalys felt a surge of energy within her.
“Even though her first task of the day was always work, she never felt tired after a full day of running around.
“Odalys couldn’t shake the feeling that her newfound strength was somehow connected to the act of praying. Recently, more and more people had been coming to pray, and she could sense that her energy levels were soaring.
“It was truly renurkable.

“In the past, when she had prayed, she never felt the overwhelming power she did now.
“Alright, you go ahead. I’ll stay here a while longer and then leave.” Evander nodded slightly.
