Chapter 419
Orson was dumbfounded. He didn’t even hesitate. Quickly, he yanked off his white coat and draped it over Henry’s face, standing there, unsure of what to do next. He glanced at Odalys, his expression serious.
“Odalys, are we are we going to kill him” Orson asked, his voice low, his mind running through various scenarios
It wasn’t that he was afraid of trouble, but if they were really going to take someone’s life, he didn’t want Odalys to be involved. She was Percival’s
person
Plus, she came from a theological background. If she got her hands dirty with blood, it could mess with her spiritual journey. If anyone was going to take responsibility for this, it had to be him.
Odalys looked at him, seeing the bloody scene playing out in his mind.
She didn’t respond immediately.
Freya and Selah, meanwhile, had managed to drag Heary’s body out of the car and onto the ground with a thud. He groaned softly in his
unconscious Male.
“We’re not here to kill anyone.” Odalys finally spoke, shaking her head. “We just need to get him into Sophia’s room to stir things up between the Bennetts. I want to see how much Hannah can tolerate with Sophia in the picture
“If Windsor is willing to divorce her for Sophia’s sake, she might take it. But if she can still tolerate Henry in Sophia’s room, then we have a deeper problem on our hands. From the moment Hannah took Sophia in, there’s been something off
“The Bennetts‘ villa is a mess, yet none of them seem to want to kick her out. Don’t you think there’s something strange about that?”
Orson remained silent, absorbing her words.
He stood there, wearing his casual beachwear–a T–shirt, beach shorts, and slippers–completely out of place as the heir to a prestigious family. His relaxed appearance contrasted sharply with the gravity of the situation.
“Ive suspected it for a while, too.” Odalys continued, her tone thoughtful “Percival and I both wondered what’s really going on with Sophia. Who’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes! Despite everything that’s happened, Sophia’s status in the Bennet family is still unshaken.”
“She paused for a moment. “The Bennetts used to dote on her in a way that made sense, but now, even though their logic has shifted, they’re still incredibly tolerant of her. There’s no way a normal family would just give up their own flesh and blood to adopt some other kid. I did a DNA test for them a while back, and turns out, Sophia isn’t Windsor and Hannah’s biological daughter”
Orson’s eyes widened. “So there’s no blood relation at all?”
“Exactly. A stranger could never have convinced them to abandon their own child, which doesn’t add up. Odalys concluded. “Sophia may not be the key, but provoking a rift between the Bennetts is the only way to figure out what’s truly going on. We need to expose their motives”
Orson nodded in agreement. “Right. We have to bring the conflict to the surface so we can understand the Bennetts true intentions.”
By the time they finished speaking, Freya and Selah had already dragged Henry into the elevator.
“What are you two talking about!” Freya called out, slightly out of breath. “Get in here, now!” Selah, nervously pressing the elevator button, added, “Hurry up, or he’s going to wake up soon!”
Orson and Odalys exchanged a quick glance before stepping into the elevator. Inside, the four of them stood in awkward silence, not knowing where to look. Selah edged closer to Odalys and whispered, “Odalys, do you think the elevator has security cameras?”
Her voice was filled with the tension of someone who had never done anything like this before. Kidnapping and knocking someone unconscious for the first time was a whole new level of crime. She wasn’t sure if she could handle the consequences if they got caught
“The hospital belongs to his family, Odalys replied calmly, glancing at Orson
Selah’s eyes widened in surprise. “His family owns the hospital? She looked back at Orson, incredulous. As far as she knew, the hospital was The Lark Group’s empire
part of
“This is my business card, Orson said, handing it to her with a serious expression. “If you ever need to be hospitalized, just use the VIP channel.
Selah stared at the card but quickly swatted it away. “Who needs to go to the hospital! You’re the one who needs a doctor. I’m perfectly healthy” she retorted with a smirk. “Im the Goddess of Health.

Chapter 419
Orson’s hand was left hanging in the air, his eyes locked on her in silence.
Freya, watching the exchange, couldn’t resist a laugh. She leaned against the wall, giving Orson a teasing look.
“Mr. Lark, first time being rejected by a woman?” she teased with a grin.
Freya, being the adopted daughter of the Stewart family, knew Orson well. While they didn’t interact often, they had a mutual respect due to Percival’s influence. Orson had always treated her with kindness, but now she couldn’t resist having a little fun at his expense.
“How’s it feel, Orson she teased. Did you think your childhood bedwetting was a secret you could bury forever?”
The words hit like a bomb.
Freya froze.
She was expecting to tease Orson, but instead, he had flipped it on her, and now she was left speechless.
“You” she spluttered, her face turning bright red. “Who said I wet the bed! That’s ridiculous!”
She looked at Selah and Odalys, hoping they hadn’t heard. To her relief, they seemed oblivious to the exchange. Freya quietly exhaled, but Odalys and Selah were barely holding in their laughter.
“She’s from the Stewart family!” Selah asked in a whisper, unable to contain her curiosity any longer.
The previous night, Freya had taken them to the Stewart villa for Odalys’s surprise birthday celebration.
They had been salent when they were stopped at the gate by security. They had always known Freya had powerful connections, but it never occurred to them that those connections were linked to the Stewart family
Now, hearing Orson’s words, it made sense. The Stewart family was a powerful force, and Freya’s relationship with Orson confirmed that she wasn’t Just Percival’s ally–she had her own power.
“Yes,” Odalys answered softly.
Selali gasped, her eyes flicking between the two women. She realized they had never flaunted their backgrounds, but now she understood dangerous they could be.
just how
“Selah, help me out. Freya called, tugging Henry toward the door.
Before Selah could react, Orson swung Henry effortlessly onto his shoulder and began marching down the hallway, his steps echoing in the empty corridor, Clearly, Orson had taken the liberty of clearing the floor in advance.
With a powerful kick. Orson slammed the door to Sophia’s room open, tossing Henry onto the bed with a thud. Freya and Selah quickly followed, ripping Henry’s clothes off in preparation.
Once they finished, they slipped out of the room.
“Who’s there?” Sophia, who had just emerged from the bathroom, heard the noise and froze. Her mind raced as she Finnian and Windsor the night before. Her legs were still sore from Windsor’s advances, and now this new disturbance made her heart rike
led the threats from
She quickly pulled up her pants and rushed out of the bathroom.
What she saw when she entered her room shocked her. Henry lay on her bed, his clothes scattered on the floor.
“Henry?” Sophia gasped, unable to process what had just happened
She had never expected Henry to show up. Her small hands clenched into fists as she walked closer, her eyes narrowing in disbelief,
