SWNOVELS Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Outside of watching the live broadcast , people were anxiously waiting for updates from the police station .
Some even even feared that those behind Odalys might cause trouble there , or perhaps try to use connections to smooth things over .
A few were even stationed outside the police station , refusing to leave .
Others were leveraging their networks , keeping an eye on hotlines , making sure no one from the Bennett family would try to stir up trouble or cover their tracks , In the VIP room of the hospital , the atmosphere was thick , suffocating even .
Hannah lay in bed , her face ashen with rage , eyes glued to the screen where the video clip replayed again and again .
Her hands gripped the blanket ! so tightly , it was about to rip Hannah cursed , That little bitch Odalys , how dare she ? She had the audacity to expose her identity right as the show was wrapping up , saying we abandoned her and telling people to look into what happened years ago ! Hannah hissed , voice rising with fury .
Does she want to ruin us , the Bennett family ? She must be insane ! Hannah fumed , struggling to breathe as her anger er consumed her .
How could she do this ? The live broadcast has viewers ! What are we going to do ! Caspian , still lying on the bed , glanced up at Henry .
It had only been half a month , but Henry looked like he had aged years in that time .
At not even thirty , his hair was streaked with gray .
Mom , did you and Dad really abandon Odalys all those years ago ? Henrys voice was heavy with disbelief .
millions of Odalys had said it on camera , and Henry couldnt quite process it .
Hadnt they always told everyone she had just gone missing ? But now she was claiming abandonment ? The more Henry thought about it , the more uneasy he became .
He hadnt taken her words seriously before , but now ? It felt like maybe she wasnt just trying to frame them maybe it was true .
Hannahs eyes darted around , her usual composure slipping .
I couldnt have .
She ran off , and we looked everywhere for her .
We couldnt find her , so we adopted Sophia .
Hannahs voice faltered .
She couldnt tell the full truth- -not in front of Henry .
If she did , how would be ever look at her again ! For years , shed told everyone Odalys had gone missing , and that Sophia was the one theyd found .
But now , Sophia wasnt the adopted child she had replaced Odalys , becoming the true Bennett daughter .
Mom , sippi stop lying ! If you dont tell the truth now , once the police start their broadcast , we wont h come clean .
Henrys words were filled with desperation have time to fix this .
Maybe we can still stop it if you The company was shut down , business ceased .
The land from the Lark family ! Gone taken by Odalys .
She had publicly broken away from the Bennett family o get away from them .
It Henry used to think Odalys desperately wanted to be part of the Rennett family .
But now it seemed like she couldnt wait to was like she didnt care about their name at all .
Hannahs face turned pale as she tried to form an excuse .
Im telling the truth ! she gasped , her mind spiraling into panic The door of the room suddenly burst open with a violent slam .
They all jumped , turning to see a man in a suit striding in , his presence commanding attention .
It took a moment for Henry to recognize him , his vision blurry with shock .
This man had been the one who delivered the wedding gifts from the Stewart family all those months ago .
Dorian … what are you doing here ? Henry immediately stepped forward , forcing a smile .
Hannah and Caspian also straightened up , despite their injuries , trying to appear dignified .
1/2 Chapter 212 If I didnt come would the Bennett family be asking for death ? Dorians voice was cold and biting .
Though he was just a butler , his aura was as imposing as any high ranking officials .
Hed fought in wars with Evander , and his hands had shed blood .
What do you mean by that , Dorian Hannahs previous enthusiasm evaporated in an instant .
She could feel that something was wrong Dorian wasnt here to exchange pleasantries .
He wasnt here for friendly visits ; it felt like he had come to settle scores .
Without another word , Dorian slammed a stack of photos and papers onto the table , his face darkening .
Is this the daughter you raised ! He pointed to the pile .
Sophia has been trying to frame Mrs.
Stewart on the show , leading to online attacks .
Do you even know what shes done ! Now , shes not only tarnishing Mrs.
Stewarts image , but also angering Mr.
Stewart .
The Bennett family really has a death wish , dont you ? Dorians voice was sharp as he laid the facts bare .
The Bennett family had clearly crossed a line , and Dorian was here to make sure they paid .
It was all part of Percivals plan to stand up for Odalys .
They werent going to let anyone harm her .
Anyone who dares to harm Odalys would have the entire Stewart family to answer t to .
And the Stewart family was Odalyss shield , her unshakable foundation .
No one was allowed to lay a finger on her .
If anyone dared to , the Stewart family would be the first to make them pay Are you mistaken ? Henrys heart sank , his voice trembling with dread .
Why is the Stewart family involved now ? What do they have to do with this ! Mistaken ? Do you think Mr.
Stewart is blind , or that Evanders vision is flawed ? Do you not see how clear it all is on the broadcast ? Dorian spat , his words laced with disdain .
He dropped Percival and Evanders names , and the tension in the room skyrocketed .
vity of Youre saying Mr.
Stewart and Evander have been watching the show ? Henrys throat tightened .
He swallowed hard , trying to digest the gravity of what was happening .
He thought .
Why would the Stewart family care about a trivial variety show ? Was it true what Orson had said that Percival was dying , and they wanted Odalys to have a child to inherit everything from the Stewart family ? The Stewart family was a force to be reckoned with wealth and power on a scale no one dared challenge .
Yes , both Mr.
Stewart and Evander have been following the show .
They know someone has been deliberately targeting Mrs.
Stewart , nearly causing a disaster .
Now , all your business dealings are frozen .
Im here to deliver a message on behalf of Mr.
Stewart Dorians eyes gleamed with menace .
The Bennett Groups troubles are just the beginning .
If you dont want to end up dead , stop targeting Mrs.
Stewart .
The consequences … will be faat The last word hung in the air like a death sentence .
So , the Stewart family is behind all of this ! Theyre punishing us for what we did to Odalys ? Henrys voice cracked , disbelief written across his face
