“She ran into Finnian when she was discharged from the hospital. They teamed up to plot against Orson and secretly followed him. Coincidentally. tenight, Orson and I went to the villa in the suburbs, Percival explained, his tone surprisingly calm.
“They followed us there, but instead of finding him, they spotted me. Maybe they changed their minds last minute and decided to target me Innrad. Sec she tried to tempi fe in front of her‘ be cominned. “That I didn’t let her get clone. Callum kicked her away!
Treya and Odalys exchanged a look, both surprised
You mentioned carber today that his hark was hail and he might do something extreme. Now, just a few hours later, he’s already taken action and teamed up with Sophia” Freya was nearly helpless
She retreated into the apartmen, motioning for them to follow.
Freya’s apartment was a spacious flat, with a large living room. Simple sofas were arranged around the room, and the floor was carpeted. Near the floor–to–ceiling windows, there was a table covered with exquisite teapots and a few potted plants.
“So his luck really is tud. Odalys said, impressed.
Fra admired Odalys to the extreme. What Odalys said in the afternoon came true in the evening.
“And he’s in for some bloodshed. Looks like Orson definitely paid him a visit tonight, Odalys added.
Percival walked in and took a seat on the armchair. As Freya brought over a glass of water, he reached out to accept it, taking a sip before speaking “His wrists and legs were broken from the kick. He won’t be causing any trouble for a while.”
Freyas eyes widened. “And Sophia” She was desperate to know what happened to Sophia
“She was kicked down by Callum, probably injured too. She couldn’t get back up, and the bodyguards took her away, sending her back to the Bennett Villa,” Percival explained.
Freya couldn’t help it. A wide grin spread across her face, and she let out a small laugh.
This is too satisfying. She actually dared to try to tempt you in the middle of the night. Doesn’t she know who you are?” Freya couldn’t understand. Although Percival was mysterious, given his presence and the many times he’d been seen with Odalys, it was obvious that he was the man who had married Odalys
“Probably doesn’t know, Percival replied.
Freya propped her chan up, turning her gaze back to Odalys. She moved over to sit beside her.
“If Sophia knew who you really were, do you think she’d lose it? She’s always been after wealthy, powerful men, and he
her pride is sky–high “Now, with her reputation ruined and the scandal from earlier this morning coming tolight, she’ll be scrambling to find a new ally. It makes sense, doesn’t 117′′ Freya said quietly.
Odalys remained silent.
Odalys felt a slight unease. She was
or was still thinking about it when she finally asked, “You went to the villa in the suburbs? Which one?”
Since he arrived, there was a strong smell of blood clinging to him, and it wasn’t just the regular scent of fresh blood. There was something familiar about it, a particular scent she’d smelled before.
“The our you and Francis visited yesterday. The police sealed it off, but I managed to get inside and found something unexpected,” Percival said in
Oddys listened closely, a soft smile curling on her lips. “You found a pit where bodies were buried, filled with toxic blood and mud, didn’t you?” “You know?” Percival was surprised. He had expected her to guess.
“When I helped clean up that mess with Francis, I could smell something off when the police dug up the bodies. The bodies were well–preserved, so they had a sweet scent from the preservatives, but the blood had a distinct odor, one I’ve only smelled in the mountain villages,” Odalys explained softly.

“This whole variety show thing was probably just a test by the people behind them, trying to lure some celebrities to draw attention and see if anyone would notice something off
no one notices, they would keep the place. If someone does catch on, the village would be destroyed,” she explained further.

“She’s always been sharp, Percival thought but didn’t say it aloud Percival listened, his eyes widening with
“This also explains why Sophia got the wrong Love Spell seller this time. Originally, the Love Spell she bought should have been from the old man who died carber.” Odalys added her mind pieving things together
“The old man must have had a disciple, someone who worked directly with Sophia, but for some reason, this time, they got it wrong. Perhaps the person is hiding now, afraid of being exposed,” she mused her tone thought
“Maybe the villa was sealed off, and they got cautious afraid of being watched, but Sephia had no idea. Odalys continued, still piecing together the

These people were always cautious and careful. They wouldn’t make such a big mistake unless something was of
“That’s true. The police found out that this fraud was hired, though he was already known for his magic” Percival added, confirming her suspicions.
“The person who hired him gave him 60 thousand dollars, originally planning just to give a talisman and be done with it. But when he saw how desperate Sophia was, he recognized her as a celebrity and decided to take advantage of the situation, trying to cheat her, Percival explained.
Freya sitting to the side, listened in stunted silence. She understood some of it, but at the same time, it felt like she didn’t

It was almost as if this was a private convenation between the two of them, a secret only they shared.
“Wan Is this something I should be hearing! Should I leave Freya asked her voice tinged with nervousness.
It felt like listening to this was dangerous
Percival gave her a sharp look and said, “If this gets out, it will be your responsibility”
“No! Odalys, help me Freya immediately pleaded, clinging to Odalys arm in a playful yet desperate way
Percival watched them for a moment. Freya curled up next to Odalys, and Odalys lovingly returned her gaze. There was a flash of emotion in Percival’s eyes before he spoke firmly. “Sit up straight”
“Ah” Freya froze, caught off guard. At the sight of Percivals serious expression, the quickly at upright, like a student who had just been scolded. “Sit properly. Don’t be all touchy–feely. You’re grown–ups now What is this?” Percival warned in a low voice
Freya was more confused than ever. Two women being affectionate was just normal friendship between women. But to Percival, it u a big deal. “Yes.” Freya muttered, her body slumping on the couch.
Odalys, watching the interaction between the two, leaned back slightly, her eyes narrowing in thought. She finally understood why Freya didn’t Inve at the Stewart Villa.
It must be suffocating to live with Percival. He was way too controlling
“Now that Edie has been stabbed with the drug she bought herself, she’s going to go crazy. She’ll probably do a lot of irrational things
even be thinking about what you two are planning to do,” Odalys said, ber tone calm but with a hint of concern.
That was why she had directly injected Edie earlier.
“Okay” Percival replied briefly, his tune verbül.
Forya, still processing everything, grabbed a carrot and began chewing on it her eyes turning toward the floor–to-
