Chapter 386
“Evander walked in holding his coffee cup, sitting down quietly. As he did, he watched as Clalys drove away. The office was eerily quiet, with no sounds, and he remained silent, sitting there calmly.
Outside, a crowd had gathered. These people had come after watching the livestream, eager to pray.
“They didn’t make a scene, after praying, they quickly left. It seemed like everyone who showed up here had an unspoken understanding
“Odalys car was on its way when suddenly, a Mercedes sped toward her and blocked her path. With a screech, Odalys slammed on the brakes.
The window of the Mercedes rolled down, revealing Caspian’s handsome face, Odalys shot him a cold look, her mind replaying a scene she had seen before she traveled through time.
“After her death, Caspian had draped a coat over her. It was also he who had tried to force her dead body to be buried alongside another man in a posthumous marriage
“Her grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.
“He had arranged the posthumous marriage. He might have been cruel, but he was the only one from the Bennett family who had covered her up, not letting her look too pitiful. Odalys‘ feelings toward him were complicated.
“Let’s talk.” Caspian got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and walked toward her with long strides.
He stood beside her car, took of
out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long drag
“Odalys remained silent for a moment before opening the car door and stepping out. The two of them stood facing each other,

“What do you want to talk about? Should I go back to the Bennett family and leave Percival so that Sophia can have her chance with him!
“Or should I go to the Stewart family for resources, so that the Bennet Croup can rise again!” Odalys voice was cold as ice, casually asking the question.
“Caspian stood there, hearing her words. The cigarene between his fingers trembled slightly, and the ash fell onto his pants, burning a hole.
“He quickly shook the ash off and looked up at her, his eyes meeting hers, now filled with an unsettling emotion
“Is this how you see us!” Caspian was stunned, his throat tightening
He couldn’t quite explain the feeling, but it was as if something was pressing down on his chest, something that felt like it was about to disappear.
“He wanted to grab it, but no matter how hard he tried, it slipped through his fingers. It was incredibly frustrating.
“Otherwise, what?” Odalys laughed softly, her eyes filled with sarcasm,
She straightened her back, stepped forward, and stood directly in front of Caspian, her voice deep and firm. “When you brought me back to the Bennet family, you didn’t treat me like family, did you?
“You knew Percival was about to die, and that’s why you rushed to bring me back to the Bennett family, to marry buried with her

“She continued, “If I had refused to marry her, would you have tried to ruin me, maybe even keep some compromising photos of me to control
*You wanted me to marry no matter what. If I did, the Bennett family would rise again. If I didn’t, I would still be your pawn!” Odalys asked coldly. “With each question, Caspian’s face grew darker. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but no words came out.
“What she was saying was the truth, but it suddenly felt unbearable.
This shouldn’t have been how it turned out. She was his sister. He had once thought about having her marry Sophia, but he never wanted her to dic

“Yet everything he did seemed to have driven her to a point where living felt worse than death. He never intended for her to die, but his actions had left her in a pain deeper than death itself.

Odalys continued, her voice will sharp.
“Caspian, panicked, threw his cigarette butt away and stomped on it, but in his hurry, he missed.
“Odalys couldn’t help but enjoy the sight of him flustered, unsure, and guilty, Suddenly, she felt a sense of release.
“She began. “Don’t think about coming here pretending to be the older brother, Caspian. What do you think you are! Blocking my way and forcing me to stop and talk?”
“Odalys voice was cold as ice. “The injuries on you? They’re all your own fault.”
Caspian seemed to recall something at that moment. His mind replayed the scene from the hospital, where Percival had blocked him in the corridor, forcefully breaking his leg, and even letting the dogs tear him apart.
He had been stitched up with over 300 stitches, and there was no anesthetic used. Just thinking about it still sent chills down his spine.

“Dammit, what the hell did I do!” Caspian angrily kicked a nearby trash can. Odalys accusations had humiliated him, and now he was filled with a sense of panic.

“Henry had mysteriously rushed into marriage with Edie. His parents were on the verge of divorce, and Sophia had just made a fool of herself, ending up in the hospital. Now, the Bennett family was a complete joke.
“When did the Bennett family become like this? Caspian felt lost as if he was on the brink of disaster, but helpless to stop it. He knew he was tied to the Bennett family for life, no matter what
At this anoment, he realized something. Odalys severing ties with the Bennett family was a good thing.
In the past, Caspian had thought she wasn’t worthy of the Bennett family hospital, but now he realized she probably didn’t care at all.
“In the end, it wasn’t Odalys who was a joke. It was the Bennett family.
“Caspian stumbled a little, his body swaying, and then crashed heavily into the wall. He slid down slowly, finally sitting down on the floor.
“Am I going to die with the Bennett family? No, it shouldn’t be like this,” Caspian muttered, still trying to strugg

“It looks like Odalys really wants nothing to do with us… Do you think she will spare us after everything she’s done to the Bennett family?” spoke coldly
He had watched the entire livestream carlier. Sophia’s actions had made him break into a cold sweat

Atlas thought back to last night when th
their father had protected Sophia, and then this morning when Sophia had tried to seduce Windsor in the study
What shocked him the most was learning that Sophia’s first lover had been Windsor.
“Furthermore, Windsor had slept with Sophia the night before he went abroad.
“The shocking revelations kept replaying in his mind, and he couldn’t believe it. Everything he had once believed in seemed like a shattered illusion.
“Sophia seduced Dad, leading to the breakup of our parents. Now Henry is marrying Edie, while Edie got arrested by the police. Sophia is an accomplice,” Atlas said calmly, his voice showing a clear sense of rationality.

“Caspian stared at his younger brother, who had always been simple and naïve. Seeing him so rational now made Caspian feel a bit disoriented. It was as if everything had changed. People had changed. Nothing was the same.
“What do you want to do?” Caspian suddenly asked.
