Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 601 Besides , my master was the one who had raised me all these years and even saved my life , not the Bennett family .

Dont think I dont know why you brought me back .

Your only goal was to make me a substitute bride , wasnt it ? From the very beginning , your moives were selfish .

You brought me back hoping Id die in Sophias place .

When I was a child , my parents did not hesitate to abandon me so that Sophia could take my place ! At this point , Odalys slowly turned around to fix him with an icy stare .

Talready saved you from disaster when I came back to the Bennett family .

If it hadnt been for me giving that necklace to Hannah , you wouldve been done by now , Youve had more than half a year of glory thanks to me , and thats more than enough to pay back any so called debt for bringing me into this world .

I owe you nothing more Odalys scoffed Every word she said pierced Henrys heart like a knife .

Henrys lips moved , but no rebuttal came out .

As conceited as Henry was , he knew Odalys was telling the truth .

He had heard Hannah mention the necklace before , even Oliver wanted to get his hands on it .

Recently , he overheard a conversation between Hannah and Oliver .

They all believed that getting their hands on that necklace no matter what it took would secure the Bennett familys future .

They even believed that it could steal Odalyss luck .

The power within the necklace was immense , capable of accomplishing anything .

Hence , Hannah still wanted Odalys dead As much as he wished to deny it , Henry could not deny that Odalys was right to be decisive Mr.

Bennett At this moment , the bodyguard suddenly stepped forward .

He took out a stack of money and stuffed it into Henrys hand , saying , Mr.

Stewart thanks you for coming to This 3 grand dollars is a thank you gift from him .

3 grand dollars was an amount that was neither excessive nor stingy .

Henry held the 3 grand dollars , feeling very uncomfortable .

convey the message to Mrs.

Stewart , Back in the day , he would have scoffed and thrown the money right back at her , yelling about how it was an insult .

But now , he did not even have 3 grand dollars to his name .

He could barely afford gas for the family car .

Thank you , Henry said .

Ultimately , he decided to take the money Clutching the thick wad of cash , Henry confirmed it totaled over 3 grand dollars .

Henrys fingers trembled as he clutched the stack of cash , his emotions a chaotic mess .

He stared blankly at the cas cash , lost in thought Not long ago , Henry had reached out to an old friend , hoping to rebuild his network .

This was someone who Henry had often looked after in the But instead of lending a hand , the man had Henry thrown out and humiliated , even dousing him with cold water , Henry had given up all hope in connections and his once powerful network.

Since losing his position as the head of the company , he could not even scrape together 30 dollars .

Hence , the 3 grand dollars was a lifesaver .

Tll take the money , Henry said , his voice hourse .

He spoke in the direction of the Stewart Villa before stuffing the money into his pocket and getting into his car .

He could not help but take a drag of his cigarette .

* Henry , I never expected a day would come when youd be grateful for 3 grand dollars , he mocked himself .

His he had gone downlull since his marriage to Edic .

Not only had his reputation been ruined , but the Bennett family had also gone bankrupt .

Henry ca carefully separated the money , a note fell out .

His eyes widened and he quickly picked it up .

His fingers were trembling as he unfolded it After reading it , he lit a cigarette , burned the note , started the car , and sped away .

1/3 7:36 AM c Chapter 601 198 Inside the Stewart Villa , Percival stood with his hands behind his back , watching coldly as Henry drove away , then looked away expressionlessly .

Mr.

Stewart , I have given him the money The bodyguard reported to him Percival nodded slightly , and the bodyguard returned to his post .

Odalys walked with ease , casually bending down to pick a flower .

She rubbed it gently between her fingers and inhaled the rich fragrance .

Her mood seemed unaffected by Henrys words .

It seems that Windsor did come back yesterday , but unfortunately , he was reverted back to his original state by that old man from the mountai village .

Now , hes been replaced , Odalys said to Percival .

From her words , Percival seemed to have guessed why Henry was looking for Clalys Windsor asked Henry to pass on a message to you ? Percival asked .

Odalys nodded and repeated what Henry had said earlier .

So , what hes implying is that they abandoned you because they wanted to protect you ? And had they not cast you aside and you remained in the Bennet family , youd have died Percival frowned .

Odalys nodded .

Do you believe that ! Percival asked .

Odalys chuckled lightly , tossing the flower petal into the nearby pond .

She watched it float gently on the surface until a goldfish rose to nibble it away : She said .

Then they could have given me away to an orphanage or quietly sent me back to their hometown .

Anywhere would have been better than abandoning me in the snow on a snowy night , What if I had run into bad people or human traffickers ? What if some old bachelor took me home to be his wife ? How could I possibly escape at such a young age ? Moreover , I was wearing a thin , short sleeved shirt at the time .

I almost froze to death .

If they wanted me to live , even if they didnt give me away , they could have at least given me a coat , right ? Or are you telling me that the wealthy Bennett family couldnt even spare the money for a winter jacket ? Funny how in all these years , not a single warm coat ever turned up in my closet .

Someone who wants you to live will always find a way to protect you .

But someone who wants you dead will always have excuses to justify their cruelty .

Im no saint , and I certainly dont believe in those fake sympathetic looks people throw your way when youre at your lowest .

Even if Windsor has regained his clarity and told Henry those things , its just a reminder of the past nothing more .

If everything he said is true , why didnt he say it in the private room last night ? Why did he wait until he relay the message ? was in danger before he told Henry to He has most likely realized that the current situation is not in his favor , and I might be the only one who can help him appeal to my kindness so that I will help him get rid of the thing thats trying to replace him , so he can return to normal .

Simply put , he wants to If hes truly back to normal , dont you think hell act like Hannah ? Once they realize Im useful , theyll exploit me .

Hannah proved that when she realized the necklace I gave her could save her life .

She plotted to steal it without hesitation , even if it meant hurting me in the process TM Odalys was no ys was no fool .

Having gone unloved for so many ty years , her mind was more clear headed than the average perso Fortunately , youre clear headed , Percival said .

Just now , for a moment , he was worried that Odalys had been moved by Henry .

Once she started to pity the Bennett family , it would only bring endless trouble and might even crush her .

Odalys chuckled , Do I seem like a kind woman ! Unlike you , I wouldnt bother giving money to Henry .

Besides , who knows what el money ! She raised an eyebrow .

Without waiting for Percival to say anything more , Odalys walked toward the Stewart Villa
