“This posthumous marriage incident feels similar to the debutante training class incident and Edie’s last name is also Simpson,” Odalys quietly pointed out.
They had been so focused on the Simpson family that they overlooked Edie.
“Edie could be the one pulling the strings behind all of this,” Odalys deduced.
Percival did not respond.
As he considered Edie’s strange behavior over the years, Percival felt that it was not beyond her to pull off something like this.
“So Edie wants to kill Callum. It could be because Callum’s on the verge of exposing her secret, or maybe because he’s working for me and she wants him out of the picture. Percival speculated.
Orson nodded and said. “That’s possible. After all, you were both investigating these training programs and if you dig any deeper, you’re bound to find her connection to it.”
Odalys remained dear–headed.
Her mind was racing with images as she said. “Edie probably sent Rafael to the Film Capital to harass Freya because she wanted to test the waters. Unexpectedly, Rafael died there, and the investigation revealed that Edie was the one behind it all.
“Edie married into the Rennett family, and Brandon moved into the Bennett Villa as well. Though they appear to have no connection, it’s possible that they are working toward the same goal.”
Odalys’s mind raced. She felt certain her hunch was right.
“I did some investigation and found out that Edie would return to the Simpson family every once in a while and then disappear for some time. However, when she reappears, it’s never from the Simpson family.
“Looks like she might have changed identities and gone to that village, Percival said.
As Orson listened, he rubbed his wrists continuously.
He said. “Didn’t you say that you brought Rafael and Brandon back to Crownridge to draw out the people behind them? It’s been so long, yet no one has made a move. If the person is indeed Edie, everything seems to make sense,
“Edie was the one who poisoned you, and she lives with the Stewart family. The poison from the village was clearly meant for you. Brandon and Rafael are her goons”
The more Orson spoke, the more excited he became.
After leaving the village, with so much happening in Crownridge, they seemed to have put this matter behind them.
Hearing their voices, Elias quickly stood up and made his way toward them.

“I’ll take care of the surveillance footage around here. Percival said.
Percival copied the surveillance footage of Sophia committing murder and sent it to Odalys. After that, he wiped all traces of their presence, including Orson’s attack, making sure to black out the footage completely.

After taking care of everything, they made their way outside and returned to their car
Odalys said. “No wonder that snake suddenly came to Crownridge. I couldn’t figure out its purpose. It didn’t make any aggressive moves or hurt anyone once it got here.
“But it will still appear
ar when it senses danger. This is a snake born from the giant python. It is psychic. The giant python can’t leave the village, so it sent this one. When it comes back. I’ll find time to talk to it”
After the snake showed up, it did not make any moves, which was
given its sudden arrival in Crownridge.
Snakes were known for their vengeful nature–once provoked, they would hunt one down to the ends of time.
Just then. Percival’s phone vibrated
Upon hearing that. Orson, who was about to start the car, immediately shut off the engine. He was curious to know who was calling Percival and what the call was about.
When the call connected, an eerie silence filled the car. Orson stayed completely silent, not daring to interrupt
Both he and Odalys instinctively looked at Percival.
“Okay, I understand.” Percival said after hearing what the other party said.
After finishing the call. Percival quickly accessed his email and opened an unread message. He studied the information inside before handing his phone over to Odalys
Orion, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, grew anxious and turned his head to look, but his view was blocked.
“Let me see” Odalys said.
She took Percival’s phone and studied the content.
Percival said, “I sent someone to investigate two days ago. It has now been confirmed that Edie’s so–called ‘disappearances were actually her attempts to break free from the Stewart family’s control, under the guise of visiting the Simpson family,
“However, what Edie really did was assume a different identity and travel to that mountain village. Each time she returned, she deliberately chose

the
“No one would have guessed that Edie would ride the commuter train. She’s always been so prouit, living a life of extravagance in the Stewart family, with the finest clothes and meals.
And the woman whose ID card Edie used is currently in Crownridge. She’s Henry’s former assistant and had been working for the Bennett family. After the collapse of the Bennett Group, she disappeared from the public eye”
Odalys stared at Percival, her face reflecting utter disbelief.
“Henry’s assistant! No wonder Henry and Edie ended up together–Edie h had planted a spy at his side all along,” Odalys said in disbelief. Percival said, “That’s not all. Windsor’s secretary’s last name is also Simpson. After Windsor left the country, that secretary disappeared. However, I don’t think he left Crownridge or died. He’s most likely secretly working for Edie, which explains Edie’s past wild behavior.
“Edie’s erratic behavior made her seem reckless and irrational, but her attacks on Freya might have merely been a diversion. Edie wanted people to see her as a jealous, powerless woman, while in reality, she could have been secretly building her influence behind the scenes.
Orson felt his palms growing damp with sweat.
“That’s terrifying! I didn’t take Edie seriously before. I thought she was promiscuous. Not only did she have an affair with Henry, but she was even throwing herself at him, desperate to marry him, despite knowing what happened to the Bennett family.
“And after the marriage, she shamelessly cornered you and demanded L& ballion dollars as her retirement fund.” Orson said, hurriedly taking out a cigarette. However, instead of lighting it. Onson left it hanging in his mouth
Percival had instructed Orson not to smoke around Odalys, knowing she hated the smell. The car had to

“Aren’t you surprised. Odalys?” Orson glanced at Odalys, who remained silent, his curiosity growing even stronger.
