Chapter 353
Windsor was stunned. The moment he returned to the country, the Stewart family delivered him such a shocking “welcome gift” that he felt both
flustered and tearful
“Did the Stewarts force and hire me back?” Windsor seemed to finally understand.
Everything had been going too smoothly since he decided to return house. It was like an invisible hand pushing him back.
“Does it matter?” Percival said coldly.
Without looking back, he walked away with Odalys. After the two got into the car, the luxurious Maybach sped away and disappeared into the night. Winder stood frozen in place, his mind constantly r
replaying the events of the evening, each scene flashing through his mind like a movie.
He muttered. “The Stewart family is terrifying. They’ve forced me to come back! The news about Percival’s death was also fake. The Stewarts played me
He added. “The shattered sacred mirror at the villa.. even such trivial matters alarmed those old men enough to confront me in the middle of the night. This was the Bennett family’s way of confirming my involvement.
“And the corpse of Brandon’s son, forcing Sophia into the car. What were they trying to verify? Or am I overthinking this?”

Bennett family was doomed,
The Stewart and Bennett families had rarely crossed paths, Windsor didn’t understand why the Bennett family suddenly turned their attention to the Bennett family. He suspected it was because Odalys had married Percival as a substitute bride.
Standing alone in the night. Atlas was tormented.
“Dad. After Atlas helped Hannah back, he walked toward Windsor.
Looking at the mess in the courtyard and the smell of blood in the air, Windsor was left alone, his figure looking a little dejected.
“How did we end up openly clashing with the Stewart family? Why has Percival suddenly risen from the dead! And why are tonight’s events all alined at the Bennett family!” Windsor’s voice was cold and piercing
He couldn’t fathom how disastrous it would be if they openly fought the Stewart family. With their money and influence, the Stewart family could destroy the Bennen family without lifting a finger,
Everyone else was merely an ant under the Stewart family’s feet

Chapter 353
On the road, inside the Maybach
The dim lights inside the luxurious car illuminated Odalys, who looked pensive as she leaned against the window, her gaze lost in the nighttime scenery of Crownridge.
“Don’t take it to hear Percival saw her silence and quickly tried to enlighten her.
After all, Windsor was her father. Being questioned by him was bound to cause some heartache.
Odalys said, “I was wondering if Brandon and Rafael’s simultaneous presence in the Bennett family, along with their history as old acquaintances of Windsor, could be related to their knowledge of the murder in the suburban villa
She continued. “They reported that the sacred mirror in the suburban villa had been broken. Such mirrors are meant to repel evil or suppress malevolent forces. There are ten buried corpses in the villa. Someone must have tried to seal their souls within their bodies”

She added. They met out of panic and fear. That suggests the elderly sorcerer who died earlier might have been their associate, the or performing rituals in the villa.
“And that sorcerer was likely manipulating Sophia, using magic to maintain her current beauty. Sophia must be their most crucial pawn,” “Her bones and skin were reshaped to alter her appearance. Then she was sent to the Bennett family to be fostered, groomed as a superstar adored by millions, all to replace me,” Odalys said, her voice steady as she pieced everything together.
Percival sat aside, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.
“Have some water.” Percival said hoarsely,
Odalys accepted the bottle, taking a small sip. She swirled the water inside, her gaze fixed on it as if lost in its depths.
Odalys explained, “Before they abandoned me, they had planned everything. First targeting me, then setting their sights on your Bennett family. The fortune teller you met before may have been my teacher. He sent me down the mountain, saying I was destined to face a great tribulation.” She added, “Percival, if Sophia is their key pawn or breakthrough, why would Windsor take her first night before leaving the country?
“I noticed a black aura around Sophia. Anyone who gets close to her ends married into your family. Henry faced calamity one after another.

She continued, “Even Finnian was gravely injured! Sophia’s bad luck spreads misfortune to everyone around her and eventually rebounds onto – herself. If they wanted to use her to infiltrate the Stewart family and take your place, Windsor wouldn’t have destroyed her purity‘ before leaving
the country”
Odalys said thoughtfully. “If Sophia was still a virgin, her misfortune might have been suppressed, But Windsor’s actions broke the seal, causing her bad luck to spread uncontrollably. It not only harms those around her but will also destroy her in the end.”
Percival latened to her analysis, patiently and carefully listening to her finish.
He said, “Windsor only decided to return to the country after hearing news of my death. So, his intentions to move against t beyond doubt”

He added. “Bradon’s attempt to escape and his betrayal led to his son’s death. This will undoubtedly cause a fallout between him and Windsor Once that happens, Windsor will lose control of what’s happening in the mosintain village”
“And Windsor, like my uncle, fed abroad yet remains well–informed about Crownridge’s affairs, Percival added, picking up her train of thought and expanding on it.
