Chapter 64
Odalys took a sip of her coffee and gently tapped the photo on the table with her finger. “From these two photos, it’s clear that your mom was probably always overworking herself for her brother, worrying about him and using the Stewart family’s assets to support him”
At this she sanded softly and looked up, locking eyes with Percival.
“Many things in life can be figured out just by looking at the surface. Your mom got dragged down by these two, and by the time she realized she had a problem with her position, your Eather was already in trouble” Odalys said this with absolute certainty.
Percival remained silent. These were private matters concerning the Stewart family, ones that were never made public. Even distant relatives of the family didn’t know about them. After all, these things were disgraceful and could hurt their reputation.
“My father’s death. was it related to my uncle? Percival’s fingertips tightened. He gripped the edge of the table with his Large hand as if trying to
crush it.
“You could say that. And your mother’s illness is also connected to them, Odalys said. She pointed at him, leaning in slightly. “And I can tell that the poisoning you experienced is tied to your uncle”
“But it’s not a direct connection. Someone’s been stirring things up behind the scenes, using your family to get close to you. Odalys continued. She didn’t like to beat around the bush she said what she saw,
“Do you know why I was able to cure the poison in your body! Odalys asked. “Because the poison isn’t from a regular drug. Someone used magic to let dark energy invade your system
“This caused your body to deteriorate when you were sick back then. The poisoning went unnoticed. Everyone just thought your illness hadn’t fully healed, and that delay allowed the poison to seep deeper into your blood.”
Callum, standing off to the side, adjusted his glasses as he quickly glanced at Percival. Percival se still, a cold aura emanating from him as he s
slowly closed his eyes.
He was trying to control his emotions, and the veins in his arms bulged, betraying the rage he was holding in
inside.
“Someone used my uncle, using my mother’s name to get close to my father, then targeted him to cause his death… and then tried to poison me?” Percival’s voice was low, almost a growl.
Odalys straightened her posture, took another sip of her coffee, and fell silent.
He continued. The goal was the Stewart family’s wealth. My father’s dead. If something happens to me, and I die from poisoning, my grandfather is too old, so the fortune would end up in my mother’s hands,”
“And my mother spoils her brother so much. Percival’s voice became cold as he let out a mocking laugh.
What a well–planned scheme. They could easily swallow up the Stewart family like this. It’s all so quiet and smooth, yet completely above board. It’s brilliant he wondered.
“You’ve suspected it all along haven’t you? You just didn’t have any proof. If you hadn’t been on guard, you might not have made it this far,” Odalys said bluntly.
As the head of the Stewart Group. Percival was not someone who would let himself be easily manipulated. He appeared calm and composed. someone who always thought ahead and controlled situations, and he would never let anyone lead him by the nose.
Tve had my suspicions. Percival admitted honestly. He opened his eyes again, his gaze now deeper, filled with a new sense of respect.
He never expected that a 20–year–old girl could see through everything so clearly and pinpoint the prime suspect from all the evidence.
“Do you believe me?” Odalys raised an eyebrow
People would usually find it hard to believe something so far–fetched, especially since Odalys was so young. Most would question her abilities. After all, if she were really that capable, the Bennett family would have tried to win her over, not pushed her aside.
“Of course, I believe you. If you could help suppress the poison inside me, then you must have abilities that others don’t have. Plus, you grew up with theology and understand magic, so it makes sense, Percival said, just as there was a knock on the door.
Callum strode forward and opened the door, watching the waiter bring in the meal. There were seven dishes, and in the center, a small cake was placed
“Mrs. Stewart, happy birthday,” the waiter said with a bow before retreating. Odalys was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Percival.

Chapter 64
“Grandfather watched your variety show and learned that the other day was your birthday. He wanted to celebrate it with you today, but he broke his leg. He specifically asked me to make up for it and celebrate on his behalf,” Percival said in a low voler,
He picked up a fork and began serving her food while speaking. “But I heard one’s not supposed to make up a birthday, I’ll just have a simple meal with you”
“Thank you,” Olalys said, still surprised. After all, they didn’t have much of a connection, yet Percival had taken the initiative to celebrate her birthday for her.
Even when she returned to the Bennett family, none of them remembered her birthday, nor had they ever mentioned making it up to her.
“Let’s cal Percival said to Odalys

He didn’t bring up the interrupted conversation, and Odalys, pi excuse to slip out, leaving the two of them alone.
After they finished their meal, Percival stood up, cut a slice of cake, and handed it to her,
“Recently, my uncle seems to have disappeared into thin air. It’s been hard to find him. Do you have any way of tracking him down?” Percival asked in a low voice.
Odalys, taking a bite of cake, saw Percival thoughtfully refill her coffee cup and hand it to her. She took the cup, took a small sip, and then said, There’s no need to rush to find him. As long as your condition is under control, he will definitely show up.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated. Odalys glanced at her phone and saw a call from an unknown number. She stared at the screen. her smile deepening. She raised an eyebrow and gave Percival a quick look.
Then, placing her phone on the table, she switched it to speaker mode and pressed the answer button, speaking softly. “May I ask who’s calling?”
“Odalys, get out here!” Henry’s voice came through.
He sounded furious, his breath sharp and quick, anxious as he spoke. “Do you know you’re married? And now you’re out there messing around? If the Stewart family finds out how cheap you are, unable to stay lonely, the Bennett family will be finished”
Before Henry could say more, Sophia’s voice also can
came through. “Odalys, why are you doing this? Even if you’re lonely, you can’t just go around cheating in public. If you come out and apologize now, we’ll cover for you”
At hearing Sophia’s leading words, Odalys smile grew even deeper. “Oh, and what’s the condition for you covering for me?” she asked softly.
Sure enough, on the other end of the line, Sophia paused before speaking arrogantly. Recently, our family’s company has been under pressure, and there’s definitely someone behind the scenes trying to bring down the Bennett Group”
“If you have the Stewart family help us, and transfer the best project of Stewart Group this year to us, we’ll keep this secret for you,” Sophia said in a low voice.
