Chapter 576
Chapter 576 I found out that the man named Simpson , his hometown addresses seem to be from the same place .
I checked it , and it doesnt exist , Callum explained I asked some of the older generation , and they said there was never such a place .
So , the address is fake .
But whats even more alarming is that the women who were also scammed , their partners also have hometowns that match the same location , and theyre all false .
It all points to the same person behind it all .
They are targeting emotionally vulnerable individuals .
And they share one commonality : their astrological signs , Callum continued .
He lifted his leg carefully , revealing th the side of his injured leg .
With a sudden tug , he peeled off a layer of fake skin .
Beneath it , a waterproof synthetic material was concealed, indistinguishable from real skin .
As he tore it away , a piece of paper fell out , which he handed to Odalys .
Mrs.
Stewart , take a look at this , Callum said , his tone focused These astrological signs are mostly from July , with a few from early April Callum noted .
Odalys glanced at the astrological signs , her brow furrowing even deeper .
They all have negative astrological signs , Odalys said .
Callum continued , I was going to dig deeper into these womens backgrounds , and 1 found that they , like Francis , were orphans no parents .
It all started to make sense .
The women attending high society training classes all had negative astrological signs and no parents .
And the men they were involved with , the ones they were deceived by , were also without parents .
Odalys fell silent , not sure how to respond .
I kept digging into it .
That night , after we had dinner , everything seemed fine at first .
But soon , one by one , everyone started to leave .
It was only around 10 PM , still early , but the street , once busy , was completely deserted .
The restaurant owner was nowhere to be found .
We realized something was wrong and tried to leave , but the food seemed poisoned .
Our phones stopped working , and we couldnt call out .
We tried to drive to the police , but as we went , we ended up in this fog , and thats when we lost consciousness .
I didnt fully regain consciousness until I was severely injured , nearly dying .
By then , it was too late to do anything .
I had everything ready , even drafted the message , but I couldnt send it , Callum said .
Callum thought , My hand still hasnt healed .
Im not sure if it will fully recover .
The damage is severe , and I fear it might never function properly Dont think about it for now .
Just rest and focus on getting better .
The important thing is that youre s There , Percival said .
Callum remained silent , feeling the weight of the situation settle over him .
The sense that something crucial was missing became overwhelming Mr.
Stewart , I feel like Ive forgotten something important .
I asked the others who were with me , and they couldnt remember either , not the most critical part , Callum said , his voice tinged with desperation .
We need to meet the man named Simpson , Callum added , his tone shaky as the gravity of the situation hit him .
Callum thought .
The closer we get to the truth , the more frustrating it becomes that my memory failed me at the most crucial moment .
Dont rush it .
If you cant remember , leave it for now , Percival advised .
Seeing Percival and Odalys beside him helped calm Callum , but the unease remained , gnawing at him from the inside .
Til handle the rest , Percival added .
Odalys remained silent , lost in her thoughts as she observed Callum .
After a moment , she turned to him .
Let me see your hand .
I want to check how bad the injury is .
Alright .
Thank you , Mrs.
Stewart , Callum replied .
Odalys examined his hand and relaxed her grip , seeing no significant issues .
You two continue talking .
Ill head to my room and shower quickly .
she said before leaving .
Chapter 576 Once she left , Callum looked at the door , feeling a slight mease .
He turned to Percival and asked , Mr.
Stewart , is everything okay between you and Mrs.
Stewart ! It feels like theres some tension between you two .
Am I too old Percival suddenly asked , his voice low .
Callum blinked in surprise , his mouth slightly open .
He couldnt believe what he was hearing .
His exaggerated reaction caused pain in his face , and he winced .
Mr.
Stewart , youre in your twenties , and Mrs.
Stewart is just 20.
Theres barely any age gap between you two .
Youre not worried about her age , are you ? Callum asked , now alarmed Callum silently prayed .
He thought , What if Percival ruins it after finally escaping his workaholic ways ? He used to be all about work , with no regard for relationships , but after meeting Odalys , he started to change .
What if he goes back to being single ? That would be disastrous for all of them Dont worry.
Its not that Im bothered by Odalys , Percival replied , his voice tinged with concern .
I just fear she might think Im too old for her or lack passion .
Callum looked at him , taken aback .
He thought , Is this something I should be hearing ? Is this even something Im supposed to hear ? It is completely different from what I imagined.
Mr.
Stewart , Mrs.
Stewart doesnt seem like someone who seeks out excitement .
Besides , you two get along well , right ? Maybe youre overthinking things .
Callum said , trying to reassure him , Callum was anxious , beads of sweat forming on his forehead .
He thought , A work driven , single minded president was easier to manage than lonely one .
If Percival stayed single again , it would be far more easy going , and work would feel much lighter for everyone ! Yes Percival nodded .
After discussing some work matters , Percival instructed the staff to prepare restorative drinks for Callum before heading toward the main villa When he returned to Stewart Villa , he passed Odalyss room .
He paused , hearing music softly playing from inside .
He stood there momentarily , then , remembering how tired she must be , withdrew his hand and turned toward his study instead .
The desk was cluttered with unfinished paperwork on real estate and land deals He sat down and began to work , losing track of time as he flipped through the files , unaware that night had fallen Meanwhile , Odalys had finished her shower and was drying her hair .
Stretching and yawning , she accidentally kicked something under the bed .
Groaning , she said , Who put these suitcases under my bed ? Crouching down , she pulled out three heavy suitcases .
At that moment , the door knocked Odalys looked up and said , Come in.
Freya and Selah rushed in , both excited and eager .
They had finished getting ready and were ready to join her .
Seeing Odalys bent down , dragging the heavy suitcases , they curiously leaned over to check .
Odalys , whats this ? Freya asked , her eyes wide ..
Selah leaned in , tugging at one of the suitcases , her brow furrowed as she said , What is this ? Its so heavy Help me pull it out , Odalys said , gesturing for them to assist .
