“You’ve already helped suppress the poison many times, extending my life for so long. I’m deeply grateful. If it’s beyond your power, there’s no need to blame yourself, Percival added.
Odalys looked at his large hand tightly clasping hers. She didn’t pull away, letting him hold it.

“Has there been any thou
After returning Brandon to Crownridge, she hadn’t seen him again.
“No, he’s been very quiet. He hasn’t made any demands or shown any intention to contact the outside world. My people have been watching him closely, but they also find his behavior somewhat unusual, Percival replied
Odalys fell silent at his words.
“Let’s go see him,” she said softly. The quieter someone was, the bigger the move they were planning,
“Do you want to rest for a while? You haven’t had a proper break since this morning” Percival said, his voice tinged with concern. He had never seen a woman work so tirelessly.
This morning, Odalys had gone to the company, stormed into the Monolith Hotel with several artists, and taken control of the entire venue, avenging Dorian in the process.
Afterward, she returned to deal with matters, fiercely confronting members of the Bennett family.
After dinner at the Stewart Villa, she even read his fortune. The amount of energy she had spent would exhaust even a man, yet she continued on She then followed him to the hospital, dealt with Edie, and went to the police station to confront the Bennett family. Now, here they were, and she still hadn’t taken a moment to rest.
“It’s fine. Let’s meet him first. Now that Windsor has returned to Crownridge. I’m sure your the hotel would ve been for nothing,” Odalys said with a cold laugh. She thrived on challenges.

Seeing her resolve, Percival tightened his grip on her hand. “Callum, head to the villa in the suburbs,” he ordered in a low voice.
Callum seated in the driver’s seat, nodded quickly. “Yes”
The suburban villa was a thure–story building. Though luxurious from the outside, it was guarded by security, and the eerie silence inside gave an Cosending impression. While it appeared empty, guards were stationed covertly.

“Understood the bodyguards said enthusiastically, leaving the villa with their rewards.
The villa quickly emptied. Callum remained outside, pulling out a handgun and leaning against a post, staying alert.
Dismissing the bodyguards ensured their conversation that night would remain confidential
Til keep watch outside,” Callum said, turning to Percival
Percival nodded and led Odalys into the villa. The automatic door opened with facial recognition, revealing pitch darkness inside.
With a snap of Percival’s fingers, the lights instantly came on, illuminating the entire villa. The interior was sparsely decorated, with a simplicity that ended a sense of oppression.
“In this kind of environment, he can still remain composed. That’s impressive,” Odalys remarked quietly.
Percivalled Odalys down a quiet corridor toward the basement. Their footsteps echoed on the staircase as they reached an iron door. Percival opened it and stepped inside
The room contained only a simple bed. On it lay an older man, asleep.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, he jolted upright. When his eyes landed on Percival’s chiseled face, his expression shifted dramatically. “Mr. Stewart!” Brandon stammered
His gaze then moved to Odalys, who stood behind Percival. The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a flicker of fear in his eyes. “Mister, long time no see. Odalys greeted calmly.
She pulled out a chair nearby, sat down, and crossed her legs casually. Her indifferent gaze locked on the man. Though she appeared relaxed, an inviuble pressure seemed to weigh heavily in the room.
“Mi Stone, what brings you here?” Brandon asked, his voice trembling
Odalys stared at him with a touch of mockery in her smile.
She leaned forward slightly, meeting his gaze, her voice low and measured. ‘Of course, I’m here to see you. Your son’s health has been detenorating.
“T purged the poison from his body before, but it seems he couldn’t survive.
-Odalys remarked, “You tried to change his fate, hoping to escape the troubles of city life and leverage the Stewart family’s fortune to bring prosperity in your descendants. But in the end, your wife, daughter–in–law, and grandson all died by your hand.
“And now, you’re about to lose your son as well. His life seemed to matter to you before, but deep down, it was all an act, wasn’t it?”
Her tone was calin, but her words sent chills down Brandon’s spine.
He had already experienced Odalys’s abilities back in the village. She had an uncanny knack for foreseeing events as if she could predict the future.
“Besides, you weren’t the only survivor from that village. That lecherous bachelor who lived next door to you. Do you think he knows nothing!” Odalys added, her tone enticing yet menacing
Brandon remained silent. He pretended to be calm, but his trembling fingers betrayed him, despite his efforts to suppress his emotions. “Windsor is hark to Crownridge Percival stood behind Odalys, his magnetic voice suddenly rang out.
That single sentence made Brandon’s head snap up, his previous calmness sluttering instantly.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Brandon said, his voice trembling.
