Chapter 564
Odalys returned to the car, and Orson handed her a bottle of water,
“Odalys, just now Percival floored the gas pedal to get me to safety, then went back regardless of the danger. I’d never seen him look so anxious.
bet you don’t know he likes you, right? He’s not good at sweet talk and probably hasn’t even confessed to you. But he’s persistent. He has set his sights on you,” Orson hurriedly gossiped with her.
The flustered look on Percival’s face reappeared in Orson’s mind, and Orson couldn’t help but rub his chin, his eyes full of amusement.
Odalys remained silent. She took a sip of water and tumed to look at Percival in the distance, who was talking to a police officer. The officer was respectial to him.
Percival walked towards th
them after he had finished negotiating
Percival looked disheveled. His clothes were filthy, obviously a result of him rushing to get here. She supposed he must have had a fall because his leg injuries included stab wounds and two other injured spots. Yet he didn’t mention it, nor did he grunt in pain.
At the thought of this, Odalys’s hands clenched involuntarily.
Orson whispered to Odalys, “He’s back, Odalys. Don’t tell him what I just told you, or he’ll kill me
He couldn’t imagine what it was like for Percival to fall in love.
Percival returned to the car, opened the back door, and sat in.
I’ve made arrangements with them. They’ll cordon off the pit. We’ll play along with Windsor’s scheme for now. When he realizes that the flood only washed away one side and didn’t cause much damage, we’ll see what he does next, Percival said.
Odalys nodded. She looked worriedly at his leg and asked, “Can you feel anything now?”
“No” Percival replied.
Odalys didn’t say anything else but raised her hand and looked at the ring on her finger. It had returned to its peaceful state.
“It warned me just now,” Odalys said.
A temble thought suddenly crossed her mind. She looked down at the ring and said in disbelief, “Could Windsor have been involved in the film city incident?”
Otherwise, she couldn’t understand why the ring was so ag
agitated just now. It clearly sensed something.
“Windsor was involved in the film city incident? That’s impossible. Windsor is your father, and he lives here and now, Windsor wasn’t even born when the major general in the film city died.” Percival subconsciously said.
As soon as he finished his words, the atmosphere in the car froze.
Percival turned his head in disbelief and looked at Odalys. “No way.” His
valce trembled
slightly.
Onon drove while listening to Percival and Odalys’s conversation, his heart heavy with anxiety. He felt like they were speaking in riddles, and he couldn’t understand a word.
Onson asked anxiously, “Explain it. Windsor hadn’t been born at that time, so what’s the problem?”
He was curious about many things, but unlike Percival, he lacked the sharp wit to guess the answer and figure it out. This made him feel like he had missed a lot of crucial information.
lile thought, ‘Damn it. Had I known this, I would have gone to the Stewart Villa in my free time, even if just to listen in on conversations.
“It’s possible that Windsor was switched with someone last night, just like they did with Francis, and someone else’s soul is in Windsor’s body now,” Odalys suddenly explained
Orson was so frightened that he slammed on the brakes with a screech. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands and turned to look at Percival and Odalys in the back seat.
“No way, right? If he was switched, wouldn’t he be like Francis, his soul squeezed out and his body taken over? Damn, is it that scary? Even so, didn’t Hannah notice anything unusual They’ve been married for so many years and have several children, Orson said puzzledly.

Chapter 564
Percival fell silent as he watched Orson’s agitated demeanor.
“Windsor was abroad for three years and has only recently returned. He and Hannah haven’t been in contact for three years,” Percival reminded him kindly.
Realization dawned on Orson. He almost forgot about it.
“That night, we followed Windsor to the Simpson Villa. He contacted the Simpson family but they didn’t come out. This explains why we saw the overlapping figures in his body after you used magic,” Percival said.
Odalys said, “So Windsor was replaced, but his soul is still in his body. His soul is only being suppressed by another soul, preventing him from coming out”
As she spoke, she rubbed the ring gently. “So, were you implying that this soul might be related to the extermination of your family? Brandon is your enemy, yet you weren’t as hostile to him as you were to Windsor.
Then could the soul in Windsor’s body be an ancestor of Brandon! Could the soul be the original perpetrator?”
However, the ring didn’t respond. It seemed to be dormant.
“Brandon closed down his century–old shop and retreated to the mountains to avoid us, but he was eventually brought back by us. It seems that orchestrating his son’s death at the gate of the Bennett Villa was all part of his plan.
“He appears to have done nothing, but in reality, he has done quite a lot, Percival said.
Orson was a little flustered. He couldn’t associate the hunched old Brandon with these events,
Odalys said. “It seems he has his eyes on the Bennett family’s energy field. He’s probably staying at the Bennett Villa to find Windsor. After all, they did have contact before. Or maybe he didn’t know about Windsor’s matter yet.
“Let’s sound him out later and see if he knows that Windsor’s body is occupied by another soul, and that soul is likely to be another ancestor of his “Windsor must have been in contact with Brandon before he went abroad. In other words, Brandon was familiar with Windsor before he left Crownridge, and because they were familiar, he made use of Windsor.”
Orson was very excited. “Odalys, I have to get involved in this. Count me in. I’m fine even with running errands.
No matter what his role was, participation was what mattered. He would only feel the excitement by participating.
Everything happening now was more exciting than everything else in his entire life. There was no way he was letting this opportunity slip by. It would be even better if he could go ghost hunting
“Is it possible that Windsor’s trip abroad was orchestrated by someone else? If that’s the case, then Brandon might be familiar with the family too. Percival made another bold guess.
Suspicion fell on the Simpson family once again.
Simpson
They were a mysterious entity. Despite all that had transpired, the Simpson family had remained silent and incredibly composed, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
They seemed to be biding their time.
Even though Percival froze the Simpson family’s accounts and seized all their projects, the Simpson family still hadn’t shown up to make a fuss. It was as if they were oblivious to everything.
They were unresponsive like dead people.
