Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 452 She didnt speak , but that didnt mean she was unaware of everything , nor did it mean she was doing nothing .

What do you want me to do ? Percival asked , surprised .

He looked at Odalys with admiration , even a hint of reverence .

He had never encountered a woman like her before one who seemed to shine from every angle .

Just come by and check on it every day , Odalys replied casually .

She lifted her foot to ascend the stairs , but then paused as if an idea had suddenly struck her .

After a moment of silence , Odalys decided to sit down on the steps .

Percival , seeing this , made no move to act superior , turning around and sitting beside her .

Together , they gazed at the front yard of the Stewart Villa .

Odalys said .

Yesterday .

Orson and I took advantage of the Bennett familys situation and caused some trouble for Edie .

I saw her consciousness , and what I found was odd there was no trace of your father in her mind .

I mean, she and your father were married and lived together , so why is there no trace of him in her memories ? Odalys continued , her tone thoughtful All I saw was her starting to distance herself from you after your fathers death and aligning herself with the Simpson family .

This leads me to think that perhaps someone erased her memories .

But if she had her memories wiped , yet still speaks of her past , it suggests she doesnt think those memories are disgraceful .

So , why erase them ! On the other hand , it could mean shes not really Edie .

Without her previous memories , perhaps shes someone else entirely .

Though this revelation shocked her , Odalys knew she needed to share it with Percival , who had to know the truth .

Tonce suspected she wasnt who she claimed to be , but after investigating everyone who had contact with her , I found no sign of anything unusual .

Aside from returning to the Simpson family , she didnt stay anywhere for long .

All the people she associated with were regular high society wives or business figures .

I monitored these people , but nothing strange came up Percival explained , his voice steady .

Odalys raised an eyebrow in surprise .

She hadnt realized that Percival had already entertained the possibility that Edic was a fake .

Perhaps he had long suspected something was off .

Odalys said , Regardless of the reason , its true that there are no memories of your father in her mind .

After I performed the ritual with you , she seems to want to distance herself from the Stewart family altogether Odalys continued .

Shes been with the e Stewart family for so long without thinking of leaving , but after the scandal with Henry , shes been playing a dangerous game , retreating to the Bennett family .

Even if she came after the Bennett family , she wouldnt have discarded the Stewart family so easily unless she was trying to provoke you .

Its as if she sensed something was wrong and wanted to run .

Odalys paused for a moment , visibly conflicted .

But I cant prove anything , its just a gut feeling .

She seems to want to distance herself from the Stewart family , perhaps because she fears something will be uncovered .

It could be related to her lack of memories about your father The complexities of the human heart were hard to decipher , and this was one mystery that Odalys couldnt fully unravel yet .

Percival explained , trying to piece everything together .

You disrupted her plans .

She had previously plotted to curse Grandpa , leading to his leg injury .

You found the astrological signs buried under the tree and even uncovered the dead mans clothes in the pool .

It was a well guarded secret , but when things went missing , she began to suspect .

We didnt confront her about it , but that pushed her into a corner , making her act recklessly .

A person who has done something wrong will always be afraid .

When you established Magic Entertainment and grew close to Grandpa , she had nowhere to turn .

And after Dorians situation , I suspect she might have been behind it .

Thats why I had my men monitor her so she would know she was being watched .

Odalys was taken aback .

You purposely let her know she was being monitored ? To make her nervous and force her to reveal herself ? she asked in disbelief .

Percival nodded subtly , leaning back on the stairs , his strong arm bracing him as he relaxed into the position.

He looked up at the moon , the soft light casting shadows over the Stewart Villas front yard .

At this moment , he seemed to genuinely enjoy sitting in quiet company with Odilys , conversing peacefully without the tension of business or Htrategy hanging over them ..

Before , when no one was watching her , she lived a comfortable life , thinking she had control over the Stewart family .

If we hadnt pushed her into a corner , why would she have rushed to marry Henry ! Percival mused aloud .

1/2 Voucher 732 AM & c Chapter 452 He chuckled softly , a deep , almost amused sound .

When she joined the Bennett family , the essentially cut ties with the Stewart family , and that when the Simpson family could no longer sit idly by .

Chherwise , why would Quinton and Windsor have rushed back to the country .

Every move Percival made was meticulously planned .

He never did anything without purpose , and every action was designed to leave no room for opposition If he chose not to act , there was still a way out for his adversary .

But once he made a move , the other side had no choice but to lose .

This was the mindset of a master strategist one who pulled the strings , making decisions that would eventually lead to total control Youre incredible Odalys said , her eyes glowing with admiration .

At that moment , it felt as if she had found a kindred spirit in Percival someone who saw things the same way she did .

You re not so bad yourself , Percival responded , returning the compliment with a smile .

Odalys tucked her legs under her , resting her head on her knees as she gazed at him .

Her small hand cradled her face , and they shared a quart moment , exchanging smiles .

It seems like youre waiting for the Simpson family to lose their composure .

No wonder Edie and Henrys whirlwind marriage caught everyone off guard , and yet the Simpson family hasnt made a move .

She doesnt even have the right to return to them anymore .

Odalys said , her lips curling into a knowing smile .

Turns out this whole situation was orchestrated by you to force her hand , severing the Simpson familys hold over the Stewart family , Odalys added , clearly pleased with herself .

Percival smiled faintly, Exactly .

He shifted his gaze back to the tree nearby , where Odalys had asked him to place the dirt earlier .

His eyes lingered for a moment longer , as though he were searching for something in the shadows .

Im going back to my room now , Odalys said , rising to her feet .

She made her way toward the Stewart Villa , the night growing deeper and quieter .

The house was still , the servants asleep , and Evander was likely already resting- As Odalys hurried upstairs , Percival remained behind .

As he began to rise , he felt a strange sensation a flicker of something Turning around , he thought he saw a figure standing beneath the tree , but by the time he looked more closely , the figure was gone .

He furrowed his brows , wondering if his mind was playing tricks on him .

Must be the exhaustion , Percival muttered to himself , rubbing his temples .

Ive been through a lot tonight .

His thoughts lingered on the image of his father his love for coffee , the way his spirit had been trapped in the junction of energy after his death Percival felt a pang of sorrow in his chest .

Once everything was settled , he would take Odalys and bring his father home .
