Chapter 397
Freya felt that something was off about Edie.
Everyone knew that she was blatantly devoted to her brother.
She made everyone think she would die for the Simpson family, but Freya wondered if that was really the case.
After hearing this, Odalys fell silent.
Freya said, “Odalys, don’t be too adventurous! I don’t think these things will be simple. If you are aware of the danger, maybe you can talk to my
brother
our safety, even if y you don’t want to. Don’t forget, the Stewart family has got
“Anyway, you’re married to him, he’s supposed to be responsible for your sa your back”
Odalys stared at Freya, her lips moved, but she couldn’t say anything.
It seemed d that no one except the Stewart family had ever said such things to her.
She had long been accustomed to living alone. No matter how dangerous it was, she would always charge ahead alone.
After she became a substitute bride, Percival had said this to her, and Evander had also said it. Today, Freya reminded her again. This feeling was
very
subile.
She almost felt that something inside her seemed to be shattered
“Okay” Odalys’s voice was as low as her mood.
Only after hearing her response did Freya reach out to cup Odalys’s face and gently rub it. “You are a great sister–in–law.”
“What?” Odalys was a little caught off guard.
Freya was three years older than her, so she couldn’t bring herself to call Odalys sister–in–law in the past
“You are my sister–in–law” Freya smiled, her eyes curving.
She wrapped her arms happily around her chest and glanced at Odalys. “If Percival dares to bully you in the future, I will not let him off.”
As Freya spoke, she realized how cheesy it sounded
She shrugged her shoulders and turned to run towards Selah, not forgetting to turn around and wave. “You should go back quickly.”
Odalys stood under the streetlight, holding the takeaway box in her hand, staring blankly at their figures.
Watching them move further away, she could faintly hear their voices, gradually fading until they blurred out of her sight.
A gust of wind blew past, and by the time Odalys came back to her senses, Stellan had already driven away
As she turned around with the items in her hands, she froze, her delicate face slamming into something solid.
Odalys mumbled, burying her face into the wall of muscle.
The familiar scent filled her nose. The strong heartbeat in her ears told her that it was Percival
“Did you hit your nose? Are you hurt?” Percival asked, having heard her mumble.
Panic flashed across his face.
He quickly looked down at her face, one hand naturally taking the takeaway box from her grasp, his eyes filled with concern
Odalys covered her nose and shook her head slightly.
“Why are you here? I didn’t even hear you coming” Odalys said,
Percival looked down at her, his gaze meeting hers. He noticed the slight redness on the tip of her pose, a clear sign she had bumped into him.

He reached out and gently rubbed her nose. Finding nothing amiss, he let out a sigh of relief.
“I saw you talking to Freya and didn’t want to interrupt Percival explained. “I didn’t expect you to turn around so suddenly”
Ha gure fell to her hand, where she wore the ring
she had put it away before. He hadn’t expected her to wear it again so soon, and the luster seemed different than before
Noticing his cute. Odalys quickly raised her hand, presenting the ring to him.
Tsered something was wrong with Freya, so I went to the studio. That’s where I ran into Rafael, the old man from the village. Edie had given him un order, and he was going to hurt Freya, so I put a stop to it,” she said.
She gave him a concise account of what had transpired that day.
Percival listened quietly. He had received news of the incident not long after it occurred.
He hadn’t expected her to tell him about it herself.
This for the best that he is dead. After all the evil he’s done, letting him die so quickly is a mercy. As for Edie, Callum has been keeping aleye on her
From the moment she was arrested to when the Stewart family contacted the police, we’ve been following the trail and have identified all of the Simpson family’s spes
Odalys was taken aback and surprised.
She didn’t expect Percival to use this incident to take down all of the Simpson family’s spies in the police
You planned everything from her arson to her arrest?” Odalys was surprised.
But then, considering Percival’s superior intelligence, it all seemed to make sense.
He was always strategic, never doing anything he wasn’t sure of
Percival and coldly, “Controlling the Simpson family and rooting out the mastermind behind them has always been part of the plan. We allowed Edie to remain free and arrogant, leading the Simpson family to believe that the Stewart family was infinitely tolerant and wouldn’t crack down on
“When they’re at their most complacent, the Stewart family will take back everything that Edie gave them.”
He wasn’t tolerating Edic, but waiting for her to do something he could no longer tolerate
Then he would cut off all ner with her.
He had given her countless chances before. After she crossed the line, she could no longer blame the Stewan family for being ruthless to her.
“It seems that Edie overestimated your feelings for her! No wonder she dared to have a flash marriage with Henry and even forced you to give her gifts and shares” Odalys smiled.
she wondered if Edie would be devastated if she found out about Percival’s plan.

As they spoke, the two walked towards the car
d and put it in the trunk
Percival naturally picked up the food she had packed
Odalys got into the passenger seat, and just as she fastened her seat belt, she saw a rake in front of her. She looked at the small strawberry cake in surprise and fell into deep thought.
“Thought it for you” Percival sat back in the driver’s seat.
Feeling her gaze, he landed the cake to her.
The petite cake made her fingers tremble slightly,
Today was the day the Bennett family abandoned her. No one remembered except for her mentor and her.
9:54 PM
Chapter 397
Later, she changed her birthday to today, just to remind herself that she was abandoned by the Bennett family, a hatred she must always keep in
mind
Unexpectedly, he bought her a cake,
Percival said, “Before, when you made the revelation and asked Officer Cantrell to retrieve the records, I found that your birthday coincided with the day you were abandoned by the Bennett family. I guessed that you might want to remember this day.
“I want you to have a good day. If this cake can sweeten your heart, that’s good.”
Odalys became even more silent.
She turned her head away, her eyes red–rimmed.
Her lips moved, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word, as if her throat was blocked by something.
