Chapter 543
Sophia seduced Windsor and was caught red–handed by Hannah
But now, the two acted like nothing had happened and were walking together again.
This shocked Odalys. She didn’t expect Hannals to be so magnanimous.
“Her husband was seduced, yet she remained friendly with the other woman. Looks like Hannah is incredibly generous, Odalys thought.
“Odalys. Why aren’t you smiling now? You were smiling so happily when you were talking to them just now. Why do you stop smiling now that Mom and I are here?” Sophia asked with a pout.
She pulled Hannah forward.
Odalys stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the two people approaching coldly,
“Did you guys become friends again after being rivals in love!” Odalys said sarcastically.
Sophia’s eyes instantly reddened as Odalys mocked her. She bit her lip hard before saying in a choked voice, “Odalys, do you have a problem with me? How could Mom and I be rivals in love?
“What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Sophia whispered.
Hannah, hearing her choked voice, didn’t comfort her. Instead, she stared intently at Odalys, her gaze sweeping past her neck and landing on her necklace
She thought about how she used to wear that necklace.
1 can’t believe Odalys snatched it back Thinking of this, she felt a surge of anger and frustration.
“What’s with that look! Do you still have me, your mother, in your eyes? I came all the way here. Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of coffee?” Hannah fumed.
She got angry whenever she saw Odalys.
She didn’t know why, but when she saw Odalys, she didn’t feel close to her. She just wanted to get angry.
The unknown fire in her heart seemed to be buried in the deepest part of her heart, and it was ignited when she saw Odalys.
Hannah was also surprised. She wanted to be close to Odalys, but this inexplicable emotion soon ignited her. Moreover, it was triggered immediately.
“Oh! I wondered who it was. So, it was Mrs. Bennen. If I didn’t know better, I’d think some high–ranking official was here to inspect us. How arrogant you are.” Celeste’s voice rang out.
She was used to coming to pray every day, and today was no exception.
She rarely saw Odalys, so she hurried to park her car and walk over, only to find that Hannah and Sophia were there
Celeste was worried Odalys would suffer a loss and almost ran off her high heels. Then, she stepped forward gracefully and stood in front of Odalys
“Mrs. Bennett, your temper is so bad. You’d better not come to pray. You should go to the hospital. Otherwise, someone else will snatch your husband away! Celeste said.
Suddenly, her eyes swept toward Sophia. She said in surprise, “Didn’t you say she slept with your husband before? Are you two back together? Are you planning a threesome?”
Hannah did not expect Celeste to mock her.
The Tillery family was different from the Bennett Eamily. The Tillery family was a prominent family with a strong financial foundation, and the Bennett family was no match for them.
She had tried many times to befriend the Tillery family, but they had always looked down on her and never even given her a chance. How could such arrogant people stand before Odalys and speak for her Hannah wondered.

she had also heard some time ago that the Tillery family and Odalys had become friends, and that Odalys had helped the Tillery family solve a problem and saved Blossom’s life. It seems that the rumors are true, Hannah thought.
“You” Hannah was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She had wanted to annoy Odalys and give her a hard time, but she didn’t expect Celeste to show up:
The point was that she didn’t dare to be angry with Celeste. Celeste was very vindictive. If the offended Celeste, the Bennett family would not only go bankrupt. Celeste might even destroy them.
“Mrs. Tillery, please come in and have some coffee.” Odalys ignored Hannah and the others. She spoke to Celeste and turned to walk inside.
“Odalys, look what I brought you. Celeste took something out of her Louis Vuitton handbag as if offering a treasure, handed it to her, and said. This is an ancient emerald that my father–in–law collected.
“He said it was an ancient artifact from over ten thousand years ago. Last night, he came to see Blossom and gave me this ancient emerald when he mentioned you. He asked me to give it to you.
“He’s not in
not in good health and doesn’t go out much, so please don’t mind Celeste looked at Odalys with concem.
She stuffed the ancient emerald into Odalys’s hand. Odalys was about to refuse it.
She had never been one to take what belonged to others, let alone something as valuable as this, just by listening to Celeste, she knew it was priceless.
But as soon as Celeste pressed the ancient emerald into her hand. Odalys’s mind went blank, overwhelmed by many images
All of them were images of her and Percival around the 1920s.
Odalys, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Celeste saw her expression change.
Startled, she quickly helped Odalys
Odalys looked down at the ancient emerald in her hand in shock. The ancient emerald was green and transparent, like a deep pool, as if it were sucking her soul into it.
She unconsciously clenched the ancient emerald in her small hand.
I’m fine. But it’s too valuable. Odalys’s voice became hoarse.
She hadn’t wanted it before, but now, she felt that this ancient emerald had a connection with her.
It wasn’t that she coveted its high value, but that the ancient emerald seemed to hold memories of her from around the 1920s as if it were originally
hers
“Strangely enough, Oswald said this ancient emerald belonged to an official’s wife around the 1920s. And even more strangely. I heard that the official’s wife disappeared overnight.
“The official’s house was set on fire and burned to the ground overnight. No one knew where she was and if she was dead or alive. Only this ancient emerald was left.
“I heard emerald is good for one’s health. Oswald has been treasuring it and has been reluctant to take it out. I don’t know what’s going on with him. He took it home today and asked me to give it to you, Celeste muttered.
She looked puzzled.
But she didn’t have much desire to possess the ancient emerald.
Celeste might have objected if Oswald wanted to give it to someone else, but she was okay with him giving it to Odalys.
Both she and Sienna liked Odalys from the bottom of their hearts. They had even discussed that they both wanted to recognize her as their goddaughter, but they were afraid of offending her and didn’t dare to mention it.
Then I’ll take it Odalys said in a bitter voice.
She was also eager to know what had happened around the 1920s
“Why did the house suddenly catch fire? Someone locked the door outside, and everyone was burned to death inside, leaving nothing but this ancient emerald. Is that the case Odalys wondered.
Although she wasn’t sure if the rumor was true, she wanted to know the truth.
“Just take it I’ll tell Oswald later that you like it. He’ll be happy to know that Celeste grinned from ear to ear.
Not far away, Hannah and Sophia stood there, staring at the ancient emerald in Odalys’s hand.
