Chapter 510
“Upon hearing the address Hannah provided, Edie clenched her fists, took a deep breath, turned towards the Film Capital, and declared, “Percival Stewart, you’ve left me no choice.
“Wait till I get pregnant with Evander’s child and come back. Don’t blame me for kicking you out of the Stewart family then! Y
You’re just his grandson What if he has a new son!”
“She reflected on Evander’s immense grief over the years since his son’s death. If he were to have another child, he would undoubtedly place all his hopes on this new baby, leaving the fate of the Stewart property uncertain.
*Edie felt no guilt about marrying Henry. Marriage held little significance for her, and divorce was always just an option. Her reasons for marrying into the Bennett family lay elsewhere.
“Her desire to claim the Stewart family’s assets remained, as did her intention to rejoin the family. She believed that once aligned with Hannah, persuading her to help seize the Bennett family’s assets would be simple.
“This thought brought a wave of relief over Edie. She was certain that a brighter future awaited her if she could just sever ties with the Stewarts
“Edie’s eyes gleamed with ambition. Her first goal was to meet with Hannah as soon as possible and, together, find a way to get the Love Spell from Sophia.
“Once her abnormal period was resolved, she believed possessing the Love Spell would grant her the power to manipulate Evander, ultimately giving her control over everything-
“The plan was to have Sophia control Evander, just as Finnian had been controlled by the Love Spell, to eliminate Odalys. In high spirits, Edie hailed a taxi and headed straight to the address Hannah had sent.
“At the Film Capital, Odalys and her companions located a restaurant, requested a private room, and proceeded inside.
“Selah was curious and asked, “Odalys, why would you suggest the Love Spell to her? She’s been menstruating for 30 years straight. Shouldn’t she see a gynecologist?” In this case, it was obviously safer to see a doctor. Love Spell wasn’t necessarily good. If used improperly, they could backfire.
Odalys explained, “Her unusual physiological response could be a health issue requiring medication. However, judging by her expression and her abnormal behavior, she must have taken a lot of medicine or used many talismans, severely damaging her body. Coupled with the prolonged exposure to negative energy, her physiology must have been affected.
“While the Love Spell can reverse her condition, my true aim is to manipulate her into confronting Sophia. If she seeks the Love Spell, Sophia will be wary. This wariness, coupled with other Bennett family members desiring the Love Spell, will breed hostility between them, ultimately shattering their bond.
“All these years. Sophia has kept it a secret and hasn’t revealed the Love Spell to the Bennett family. This proves that she is not willing to share it Once they want it, it means threatening her interests, and she will protect herself like a cat whose tail has been stepped on
“In her current state, she can’t leave the Bennett family. She had a bad time previously, and she eventually recovered by consuming Atlas’s heart blood. This dependency is addictive, and I long to witness their inevitable breaking point–the stifled resentment, the unwilling reliance—until their true natures are laid bare.”
Everyone else was dumbfounded. They used to think that Odalys just wanted to take revenge on Edie and play tricks on her.
“But what if Sophia gives in Freya asked anxiously. The worst thing was losing everything, so there was always a plan B.
Odalys took a sip from the cup Percival had poured for her and said, “She won’t give in. She’ll insist that the Love Spell is hers alone and won’t share it with anyone. And now that she’s recovered, she’ll be even more resolute.
“Odalys said, “Oliver is at Bennett Villa, right? We saw Brandon there when we filmed the variety show, so they must be together! And since Windsor is also there, it sounds like a reunion” A smile came to Odalys’s lips, her good mood fueled by the thought of how they fought against each
other.
“I’ve recovered all the antiques Edie took, and her apartment is sealed. She can’t even get into the building now, so she’ll have to return to Bennett Villa,” Percival interjected, deciding to support her plan since Odalys seemed so confident.
“But what if she rents a place outside?” Francis asked, anxiety creeping into his voice. He grew increasingly uneasy as he listened
