Chapter 63
Henry’s gaze lingered on Sophia’s smooth, toned thigh, and he felt his throat tighten. A strange desire stirred deep in his stomach, and he turned his head away, his mind filled with images of her flawless legs.
Sophia bit her lip, her eyes half–lidded as she noticed the irritation on Henry’s face. Without thinking, she subtly lifted her skirt just a bit higher.
No matter what, Sophia couldn’t let anyone in the Rennett family get the wrong idea about her and Finnian. If they did she would lose the protection of the Rennen family, and everything she had worked for would be gone.
As she thought this, her eyes drifted, and she saw Odalys looking back at her with a sly smile, clearly enjoying the tension in the air.
“Is this fun for your” she seemed to ask, her lips moving.
Seeing the Rennen family in disarray was, in fact, somewhat satisfying to Odalys. Of course, Odalys wasn’t in a hurry to completely ruin these people. She didn’t want to get too entangled in their mess.
However, before her time travel, they had pushed Odalys to the brink of depression, even causing her to contemplate jumping off a building. Now, Odalys intended to make them pay. She would see them fall from grace, losing everything they held dear, and that would be her ultimate revenge
Since Sophia cared so much about her status and position, Odalys would make sure she was publicly humiliated, pushed into a corner with no way our, and left frantic and helpless, until she was driven to her breaking point
With that thought, Odalys couldn’t resist giving Sophia a whistle. Sophia gritted her teeth, her anger rising. She almost charged forward to confront her but held back, pretending to faint. She didn’t dare make a move, watching as Odalys gave her a mocking smile.
her mind.
Sophia watched as Odalys turned and got into a brand–new BMW, driving of arrogantly. “Ah” Sophia silently screamed in her m
Sophia knew she was right. ‘It’s Odalys. She’s the one behind this; she thought, Finnian called Hannah because of Odalys‘ ident Finnian is willing to call Hannah and slander me just for her? What has she promised him? No, that can’t be! I won’t let Finnian fall for Odalys tricks.
Finnian might be a bastard, but he was still connected to the Lark Group. That connection was something Sophia couldn’t afford to lose, so she needed to keep Finnian on her side
“Mmm..” Sophia let out a soft groan, and Henry froze. Hearing that suggestive sound, he turned to look at her, noticing that her phone had fallen from her lap. Without thinking, he reached out to catch it his hand preving gently on her leg.
Henry realized her skirt had shifted upward, revealing the top of her thigh, and his hand was now resting on her smooth skin. Just as he was about to pull his hand away, Sophia pressed her hand on his, and she opened her eyes in surprise.
“Henry, what’s happening to me?” she asked, her face filled with confission as she looked up at him
The confusion in her eyes caused Henry to freeze. His hand was still resting on her leg, and as she sat up straight, her hand guided his upward. The beat radiating from her skin made his throat tighten
“Ah, Henry, your hand… sorry, I didn’t know it was yours. I thought it was my phone” Sophia said.
Like a frightened child, she quickly slapped his hand away, her cheeks flushed as she turned her face away. Her eyes were red with frustration, and it seemed like she might cry.
She spoke in a low voice. “Henry, I need to get out and explain to them. I need to make it clear that this is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with the Benner Group. I need them to stop making a scene.”
As she spoke, she reached for the car door, bus Henry grabbed her arm. “I’ll handle this,” he said firmly, “I’ll take you back to the hospital first.” With that, he drove off quickly.
“Henry, do you know what’s going on with Odalys right now! Is Percival almost finished? If Odalys goes back, will she be tortured?” Sophia asked
y vehicle. “Henry
Just as she finished speaking, she glanced to the side and saw Odalys stepping out of the car and walking toward another luxury look! Could that be Odalys? Sophia suddenly gasped.
Henry followed her gaze and saw Odalys standing in front of a Porsche, the car door open as a tall figure stepped out from inside. His eyes narrowed as he parked the car by the side of the road.
Odalys held her phone and quickly walked over to the Porsche. The door opened, and Percival stepped out, noticing her standing in the blazing sum Without thinking. Percival raised his hand to shield her from the sunlight.

“Then let seat together,” Percival said in a low voice
With large strides, Percival walked toward a nearby restaurant, and Cidays followed behind him. As they approached the stairs, Percival suelderly turned around and reached out to steady her ann. “The careful” he muttered.
Odalys noticed a hole in the side of the stairs and was about to step around it when his hand grasped her arm. Both of them froze for a moment before he guided her into the restaurant,

Odalys nodded slightly and followed Percival into the private room. The interior was elegantly arranged, resembling a medieval–style restaurant. walter entered with desserts and fruits, setting several dishes down on the table.
“You called me here for a reason? Odalys asked, wiping her hands and picking up a piece of fruit to bite into. She had been about to leave when she received a message from Percival and turned the car armind to meri him,
Percival sat down and pushed the desserts and fruits toward her as he spoke. “Last night, you mentioned my poisoning, and how it might be connected to people close to me.”
“Last night, I gathered the information on people who were close to the Stewart family and had opportunities to get close to me. I was wondering if you could take a look at it, Percival asked in a low voice.
Odalys nodded slightly, taking a bite of watermelon. “Sure, but you’ll have to pay.”
“Okay,” Percival replied in his low voice. He reached over to grab a file from the side, opened the brown paper bag, and handed her the photos inside, which also contained personal information about the people.
Odalys took the file and casually flipped through it. Her fingers swiftly marned the pages until she reached the last photo. She suddenly turned back and picked out another photo, placing it on the table “What’s the relationship between these two people?”
“They’re married. Percival answered, his voice steady. His gaze was locked on the two individuals in the photo as he watched Odalys expression

His eyes darkened, and he looked at her sharply. After a long pause, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, “How did you know that when my father died, my mother became gravely ill?”
