As soon as Sophia tmished speaking, Odalys said, “Alright then”
Sophia, unable to o believe he
her cars, quickly leaned in, asking. “You you agreed”
On the other end of the phone, Odalys was quietly eating cake, not responding. At that moment, the door opened, and Callum entered.
Sophia faintly heard him speaking in a lowered voice to Percival. Her curiosity was piqued, and her heart began to race as she waited for a response from Odalys. “Odalys” Sophia quickly called out.
When there was no reply, Sophia raised the phone higher, noticing that the signal was full. Yet, aside from a man’s voice, there was no response from Odalys. “Odalys, are you listening! You just agreed, right? Odalys, say something!”
Sophia was losing her mind. Just moments ago. Odalys had agree, but now there was nothing. The silence was driving her mad. The longer Odalys stayed quiet, the more frustrated Sophia became.
Recently, everything had been weighing on her, leaving her breathless. She was no longer the delicate person she used to be.
Impatiently, she paced back and forth, wanting to storm into the restaurant and confront someone, but a bodyguard blocked her path
Even when Sophia revealed her identity as the daughter of the Bennen family, the staff didn’t even glance her way,
It was then that Sophia felt a sharp sting of humiliation Even Henry felt completely embarrassed.
He had heard of this restaurant before. Apparently, only the wealthy or elite could dine here, let alone enter the private rooms. It was all about
But Henry never expected that with the power of the Bennett family, they couldn’t even take a step
“Who was that m
man with Odalys.
inside.
ith Odalys earlier! Could it have been Percival No, that’s impossible, Percival is almost dead, Henry thought, his mind racing
Before this, Henry never knew that Odalys had friends outside the Bennett family. He had always kept her close, ensuring she had no free time to socialize with others.
Who was that man she was with earlier? When did she even meet him! Could it be that the recent p
pressure on the Bennett family was his doing? Henry thought, his breath be coming shallow.
Since taking over the Hennett Croup, Henry’s life had been smooth sailing. He never imagined a day would come when he would be humiliated enough to pace outside a restaurant
“Odalys, are you messing with me? Sophia couldn’t hold back any longer, shouting into the phone. Unfortunately, there was still no response. Just as she was about to lash our further, the call ended.
Odalys hung up the phone, blocking the number, and then looked up a Percival
“According to your renunder, last night I checked into the people around me. I found out that there are indeed financial ties between the Bennett family and someone from the Stewart family, kept secret, Percival said coldly.
In the past, Percival might have demissed this as unimportant. After all, Clarence and his grandfather had some connections. But now. Percival saw things in a different light. It wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
The Benneu family’s ability to control Percival’s condition meant they had been monitoring him all along As the head of a powerful family. Percival couldn’t tolerate anyone spying on hiin.
Upon hearing Percival’s words, Odalys looked out the window thoughtfully. She had a vague feeling that there were secrets behind this that they didn’t know about. “What could the secret bet she wondered
⠀⠀⠀ “I’m full If there’s nothing else. I’ll leave.”Odalys said quietly.
Sering her stand up, Percival slowly followed, speaking softly, “Lei me drive you.
“No need. I came here by car myself. I have to meet someone later, Odalys replied, walking toward the door. The manager and the other staff lined up to see her off
When the manager saw her leaving with Percival, he quickly bowed and said. “Mr. Stewart, Mrs Stewart, have a safe trip.”
The two walked side by side, and Sophia, watching from a distance, was about to storm forward, her eyes nearly bloodshot with rage as she glared

at Oxdalys. But before she could take a step, a bodyguard quickly stepped in front of her, forcefully pushing her aside
why are you pushing met Odalys, stop!” Sophia cried out in panic. Hearing Sophia’s angry shout. Henry furrowed his brow and looked at her.
He noticed that Sophia was glaring at Odalys with a twisted expression, no longer the gentle person she used to be. Feeling embarrassed, Henry turned and began walking toward the cat.
Sophia, pushed back by the bodyguards, stumbled a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Codalys was speaking with Percival, who bent down slightly, attentively listening to her.
Afterward, Percival gave a slight nod and watched as dalys got into the back of the car before he turned and got into his Porsche.
“Ah!” Sophia stomped her feet in frustration. She quickly ran up to the front, watching as the Porsche drove off. She returned to Henry’s car, opened the door, and sat inside.
Sophia kept swallowing nervously, tears streaming from her eyes. “Henry, did you find out who that man was?” Sophia’s voice trembled.
Sophia was trying to find something she could use against Odalys so that she could expose it to the Stewart family. She wouldn’t need to do anything herself. The Stewart family would take care of Odalys. With that thought, Sophia took out her phone.
“The license plate said S–AB Henry said, his eyes fixed on the Porsche’s plate, his voice low and hoarse. Sophia’s hand trembled as she held her phone, and it fell onto her lap.
Sophia turned to look at Henry, her face filled with disbelief. “What does that meant Sophia seemned to have an inkling but didn’t want to accept it.
“Only people from the Stewart family have special bicense plates. S–AB is the symbol of the Stewart family’s head. His license plate doesn’t need to yield to anyone, and even prominent figures in politics must give way to him, Henry explained in a hoarse voice.
Hearing this, Sophia felt her heart sink. The head of the Stewart family? No way, he’s supposed to be dying. Odalys just married into the family to help. Could he have gotten better? No. I don’t believe it”
“Henry, hurry up. Follow Odalys! We need to find out if she was really eating with Percival If she is, then the Bennett family will be saved, Sophia said urgently. Though she spoke those words, her hatred burned intensely.
How could something so good happen to Odalys? I will not allow her to live well. Sophia thought.
“Alright.” At that, Henry quickly started the car and turned it around, chasing after Odalys Jou as Henry was about to follow, he saw the Porsche make a sharp turn and head straight toward his car.
“Henry, watch out Sophia screamed, her eyes locked on the license plate, her heart racing wildly. Before she could react, there was a loud crash. The car shook, and then the Porsche shoved it sideways toward a nearby utility pole.
“No, no!” Sophia cried out in a low, terrified voice. With another crash, Henry’s car slammed hard into the utility
utility pole
The passenger side door was dented, pressing against Sophia’s arm. She was terrified, and as she looked up, she saw the Porsche retreating, turning around arrogantly as it sped off
Henry was equally stunned. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He turned and saw the car window slowly rolling down
