Chapter 494
Odalys had always thought the Bennett family carried themselves with a superior, untouchable air, yet here they were, bowing their heads in desperation.
Caspian was the first to speak. We suspect there’s something wrong with Sophia. Our parents abandoned you, leaving you to freeze to death outside. We thought it was strange Why would they cast away their biological daughter just to adopt someone with no blood ties?”
“He added. “They spoiled her, especially Dad. And when we looked back on it… What Dad did to Sophia three years ago was beyond suspicious.”
“He continued, “Let’s put that aside for now, Sophia was still a young lady of the Bennet family at the time. Why would she possess a Love Spell? Did she ever use it on us? And how could she possibly know how to control people with it?”
“I heard she used a Love Spell to manipulate the Tillerys, nearly killing someone. You saved them, though Caspian said.
Odalys listened with a smile but said nothing, merely observing them with indifference.
“Noticing her silence. Henry continued where Caspian left off. “We suspect something’s off. Maybe Mom and Dad were brainwashed or tricked back then.
Odalys found it rather amusing. She took half a step back and settled into a chair
“Mrs. Stewart, have some coffee. Dorian walked out with a tray of coffee. He set it on the table outside the company entrance, poured a cup, and handed it to her.
Odalys took the cup and sipped delicately, her gaze fixed elsewhere.
“We thank its possible that Sophia used the talisman to control our minds. That might be why we targeted you and treated you so terribly back then. We… we weren’t in control of ourselves!” Henry continued.
Odalys let out a laugh, placing her cup back on the table.
“What? Now you’re blaming a Love Spell for the things you did yourselves!” Her voice, cold as ice, pierced through them like a sword.
“Her gaze hardened as she glared at them, disappointment written all over her face.
“She couldn’t believe they’d blame a Love Spell instead of taking responsibility for their immoral actions. They kept shifting the blame and claiming they were influenced by others.
Looking at their faces, she felt nothing but extreme disgust.
“Are you Bennets all cowards? You were exploiting and bullying me just to try and win over Sophia, weren’t you?” Odalys asked with a

“You’re hilthy, through and through. The moment you forced me into that sham marriage, any ties between us were severed”

Henry clenched his fists. He was the CEO of the Bennett Group. yet Odalys humiliated him. Fury burned within him
“Why would you save others for free but not us? We’re your brothers Caspian was on the verge of breaking down.
After everything that had happened recently, he knew that Odalys was the only one who could save them.
“I told you, you don’t deserve it, Odalys said coldly.

A few claps rang out
Evander came out of Map Entertainment. He exuded an aura of righteousness, his gray suit lending him an air of authority as he stood there, commanding respect without a word
His gaze made Henry’s scalp tingle. The arrogance he had displayed before Odalys dissipated in an instant, replaced by a wave of unease and fear. He had no idea Evander would show up at Odalys’s company
“Trying to become the stepfather of my grandson? Funny, I don’t recall the Stewart family having any ties to you, Evander said, his voice laced with anger as he strode forward.
Henry, overwhelmed by Exander’s aura, subconsciously stepped back.
Evander said. “Do you think my family is an easy target? Or Odalys is someone you can bully and manipulate with moral coercion? The Bennett family doesn’t deserve my granddaughter–in–law’s help”
“Or do you believe that crawling into Edir’s bed and selling yourself gives you the right to threaten the Stewart family! Henry, your sordid little bedroom tracks have nothing to do with us.” Evanders wonds cut like knives.

As for why your parents adopted Sophia home to seduce you, that’s your family’s mess to deal with. It has nothing to do with Odalys. You should ask your father instead of threatening her hire?
