Chapter 509
“Edie was dragged from the car and dumped unceremoniously on the roadside by the bodyguards. “I low dare you?” she roared, outraged. “Do you have any idea who I am?” Her once exquisite outfit was now ruined.
“Ignoring her threats, the bodyguards casually wiped their hands and said, “Who do you think you are? You’re just the garbage Mr. Stewart tossed out. You took advantage of Mr. Stewart’s respect to do wicked things. You thought you were important because he ignored your mistakes.
“If you were really somebody, you wouldn’t have been cast out of the Stewart family. It’s clear that people like you are only suited to marry into a family like the Bennetts and endure humiliation. You and Henry are a perfect match. Hurry up and hug your good–for–nothing husband’s thigh and stop harassing Mr. Stewart.”
Treated with unbearable disdain, Edie was so infuriated that she couldn’t help trembling. She didn’t expect that even the bodyguards of the Stewart family would look down on her so much now. She was even more shocked that Percival had frozen the Stewart family assets and transferred everything to Odalys.
“Are you trying to upset me? That woman deserves absolutely nothing! Just then, Edie’s phone vibrated. The call clearly shook her, making her face drain of color and her body sway unsteadily
“What are you saying? My apartment was ransacked? The antiques I brought from the Stewart family… they’re gone? That’s impossible! Who would dare touch my things” Edie nearly fainted with rage.
“She clicked on the video response and watched in horror as a group of black–suited bodyguards broke into her apartment, making off with all her antiques, a collection Percival’s father had amassed.
“Edic’s eyes blazed with anger as she gripped her phone, her body still trembling. She’d had someone move her things out after leaving the Stewart family, never imagining Percival had been targeting them for so long.
“Odalys must have been deluding Percival. I’m his mother, or how else could he have been so heartless to me? He used to indulge my every whim. even when I took the Stewart family’s resources and projects for myself. He didn’t even object when I transferred funds. So why is he suddenly demanding their return?
“Edie still couldn’t grasp it. Biting her lip, her eyes burned with hatred as the image of Percival protecting Odalys nearly made her choke on her
“Just then, Edie’s phone vibrated. Before she could answer, the person on the other end said, ”
“Your apartment has been sealed. All your belongings have been packed and sent to the Bennett Villa.”
“What My apartment is sealed? Who did that?” Edie’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“After her eviction by the Stewart family, all that remained was this apartment and its antiques. Now, with the antiques gone, she couldn’t afford to lose the apartment
“Of course, the Stewart family!” The
e other party said and hung up the phone.
“Edie shivered, her phone buzzing with a call from the Simpsons. She had been avoiding it, but ignoring it any longer would lead to serious
consequences.
“Edie, what’s happening? Why is the Stewart family suddenly against us? They froze our accounts, took all our funds, and even halted and took over all the projects they brought in.
“They have completely drained our family’s resources. Didn’t you say Percival agreed to everything? Why is he suddenly making things so difficult for us?” The person on the other end of the phone raged.
“Edie’s face contorted in discomfort. “Mom, I don’t know! I’ll ask about it,” she said, guilt lacing her voice, and quickly hung up. The scene from just now kept replaying in her mind, and she suddenly caught the key information Odalys had said.
“Edie wondered, “Love Spell? Odalys said the Love Spell could save my period. Could it also help the Simpson family through their difficulties? I know Sophia was manipulating Finnlan for the Love Spell before.”
“She was surprised to find herself considering the Love Spell, unaware that it was a trap Odalys had set for her.
“As long as she wished, she could always turn to Sophia for help, but accepting the Love Spell would bind her to the Bennett family.

When she thought of this, she was immediately invigorated. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, her phone vibrated again.
“What’s the matter?” Edie asked impatiently.
On the other end of the phone, Hannah was silent for a long time before she said, “We don’t have to be so distant. When we were young, we were best friendsTM
Edie remained silent.
Hannah continued, “When y
you married into the Stewart family, we completely fell out because we were both so confident back then.
“Now, your situation isn’t any better than mine. Since neither of us has a choice, are you interested in the plan we discussed at the hospital last lime!
Edie was confused when she mentioned the plan. “What plan?” She couldn’t remember anything at all. It seemed that she and Hannah didn’t have any plans together.

“Now that you can’t go back to the Stewart family and the Bennett family is beyond saving, we need a new chance. As long as we are related to the Stewart family, we can make a comeback.”
“Edie listened but didn’t say anything. She gazed out at Film Capital, which was deserted except for a line of luxury cars parked outside.
“I am your son’s wife. Do you want me to cheat on Henry?” Edie said, finding it hilarious that her mother–in–law wanted her to cheat on her son.
“What does it matter? You have the right to get divorced, right? As long as this child is good for us, what does it matter? So what that you’re my son’s wife! Even if you were my husband’s mistress, I wouldn’t care. Hannah said generously.
“She was now fully awake to the reality of her situation Windsor’s coldness stemmed from feeling trapped, and even her own children had abandoned her to the desolate Bennett villa that night..
“The thought of the old man controlling her life, living in her bedroom while her son remained passive, filled her with despair. A plan hatched back at the hospital resurfaced drug Evander, conceive his child, inherit the Stewart family’s fortune, and make a comeback.
“Where are you?” Edie was silent for a while, which was considered agreement.
