Chapter 552
Odalys looked at Percival thoughtfully.
“He is my man.” Percival explained as if he read Odalys’s mind.
With her gaze at Percival, Odalys pointed to his phone and asked, “Such a high–ranking person!”
“You can consider him a man of the Stewart family. The Stewart family is influential in business as well as in politics,” Percival said.
Odalys fell silent.
That was why the Stewart family controlled the global economic lifeline. Nobody dared to mess with the Stewart family, and the higher–ups gave a green light to them.
“Mystery solved Odalys thought.
“Relax. We didn’t interfere with the selection, and he obtained his job–via his capabilities. Percival explained.
Odalys’s curiosity was piqued.
“He is powerful now. Aren’t you afraid that he will betray the Stewart family!” Odalys blurted out.
Percival chuckled at the question. With his hands steady on the steering wheel, he effortlessly made a turn.
“No betrayal in the Stewart family. After one becomes a man of the Stewart family, he will serve us forever, regardless of his position.
“Besides, his offspring will be part of the Stewart family too
“They will be brought up by the Stewart family after they are born. With the spirit of the Stewart family, they won’t betray us. Never will that happen, Percival explained.
The Stewart family was everything to those people.
Their fare was closely related to the Stewart family, and so was that of their offspring,
None of them ever thought of leaving the Stewart family.
Edie was the exception.
She w
was the only person who was kicked out of the Stewart family.
She tainted the reputation of the Stewart family, so those people hated her guts.
“I see, the spirit” Odalys nodded slightly.
There must be a reason for th
for the prosperity of one family.
“Pull over. I would like to buy some fruit and toys, Odalys said.
After Percival pulled over, Odalys hurried to the supermarket. She bought a box of strawberries, a box of cherries, a box of potato chips, and a few toys with a beautiful doll included.
The Stewart couple arrived at their destination. With those gifts in hand, they took the elevator to the third floor.
Odalys checked the number of the apartment and then knocked on the door.
This was her first visit to this place after she got its address from Lee.
After a while, a genteel woman opened the door, She had an apron on her, so she must have been busy in the kitchen not long ago. At the sight of Odalys and Percival, the was Munned.
Her hour had been tied up, and her clathies were quiet but good. She had calm and clear eyes.
“Ms. Stone?” Zoe asked after a long stare at Lilys. She was shocked while suspecting that she had a delusion.
Percival followed Odalys into the
apartment

He didn’t forget to carry
y the gifts inside and placed them in a corner of the living room.
“Mrs. Hersey, I didn’t take gifts with me on my last visit here, so I bought some fruit and toys for your kid,” Odalys said while Zoe Hersey looked at the fruit and toys that Percical had placed in the comer,
Shock rooted Zoe to the spot.
The imported fruit might cost one grand dollar, and the toys weren’t cheap either. Zoe had refused to buy her daughter the toys which were too expensive for them.
The upright Lee hated comption, and his
pay w
wasn’t high.
Besides, he had a family to raise. All in all, the Hersey family wasn’t well off.
They seldom had the spare money to buy so much imported fruit
“Take them with you when you go home. Zoe rubbed her hands, perplexed.
Knowing what Zoe was worrying about, Odalys moved the boxes over, opened them with a fruit knife, and poured all the fruits into
a large bowl.
“I bought them for your kid. I heard a lot about her from Lee, and I wanted to see her. However, I was too busy to come. Odalys began to say something polite.
Looking at the good blueberries and cherries, Zoe felt bitter inside
“Mommy,” A little girl, Norah Hersey, ran into the living room at the noise.
At the sight of the girl, Percival exchanged one glance with Odalys.
“Hi can you help me wash the f
fruit! Percival asked.
He walked toward Norah with the strawberries and cherries after her eyes lit up for the fruits. “Wow, the strawberries are so big. Norah exclaimed
with excitement
“You like them, don’t you? Then help me, Percival urged.
He deliberately took Norah away and gave Zoe a glance as comfort.
Percival led Norah to the kitchen, helped her stand on a chair, and watched her carefully wash the fruit. He saw eagerness in her eyes while she focused on her work
Odalys didn’t pull Zoe to sit down until Percival took Norah away.
“Mrs. Heney, Lee met me just now. He was called away after the talk with me. Now, I suspect that he is in danger, and the reason is that I can’t reach him,” Odalys said softly.
She was afraid that Zoe would break down on this bad news.
Little did she know about Zoe, and Zoe seemed gentle, for the time being at least
“Wait” Zoe said after a long silence.
She didn’t show astonishment before Odalys, but her hands gripping her clothes got her agitation exposed,
She quickly rose to her feet and walked towards the bedroom
“Sir, can I have then! Daddy said that I shouldn’t accept things from others.” Norah took the strawberries from Percival and held them in her hands. With eagerness in the eyes, she hadn’t put the fruit in her mouth yet.
Percival looked at Noral
“Of course you can. Your father and are friends, so you and I are friends too. It is alright for you to accept some fruit from your friend, isn’t it?” Percival explained.
Norah seemed convinced though hesitation still lingered in her eyes.
“I will have one then. Her eyes sparkled, and her face was red. When she smiled, there were two dimples on her face.
“She lowered her head and gave the large strawberry a bite. With surprise, she commented, “Oh, it is much sweeter than those Dadd 2/3

Her happiness was infectious. Percival then shifted his gaze from Norah to the living room. His eyes happened to meet Odalys’s in the air, but the couple said nothing
