SWNOVELS Chapter 422
Chapter 422 Stop , no , please , no ! Edic murmured , her voice trembling as she barked away , but in an instant , those hands lunged at her , grabbing her by the collar with terrifying speed .
Edies eyes widened in shock as her body was yanked forward , pulled into the mirror .
Before she could comprehend what was happening , her vision went black , and she lost consciousness As Edie tell unconscious , Freya rubbed her hands together with an almost giddy excitement .
Damn , that was so satisfying … seeing her panic like that for the first time felt like a breath of fresh air .
Talmost got scared too , Selah chimed in , her voice a little hesitant .
The illusion was too real The two of them dragged Ede to the side .
Meanwhile , Odalys rolled over and jumped through the window with graceful precision .
Odalys , what do we do now ? Freya asked , her curiosity evident, Odalys didnt answer right away .
Instead , she took a talisman from her pocket and placed it on the bathroom floor .
In an instant , the room plunged into darkness .
Standing over Edies motionless form , Odalys held her breath , her eyes closed , the talisman glowing with fiery energy as the flames danced across its surface .
Time seemed to stretch as she waited .
Minutes felt like hours .
Freya and Selah stood there anxiously , exchanging nervous glances as they watched Odalys work Finally , Odalys opened her eyes , a complicated expression in them , and the flames on the talisman flickered out We should leave , Odalys said , her voice quiet but resolute .
Without another word , she turned and jumped back through the window .
Freya and Selah followed suit , pulling themselves up with ropes , disappearing into the night .
As they vanished , the bathroom door slammed open .
Edie Hannah rashed in .
She froze as she saw Edie lying on the floor , her face a picture of confusion , and kicked her sharply .
Noticing that Edie was unconscious , Hannah immediately reached down and grabbed her by the neck , slowly tightening her grip .
Just as the pressure reached its peak , she released her , a dark look crossing her face .
If you werent useful to me still , Id strangle you right now , Hannah hissed coldly .
Edies eyes fluttered open at the sound of her voice .
She blinked in confusion before locking eyes with Hannah , her face filling with rage .
Withour thinking , she lunged up and slapped Hannah across the face , her voice a sneer .
Hannah , so it was you behind all of this You really thought that all the things you did in the past would stay buried just because I die ! Think again , Edie spat as she staggered to her feet .
She scanned the bathroom , her hand reaching out to touch the mirror , confirming it was real, Her reflection stared back at her , clear as day .
The faucet was running , but the water was normal no blood .
So , everything shed seen earlier was just an illusion ? But why had she ended up on the floor ? Her mind raced .
Her eyes narrowed as she shot a cautious glance at Hannah , her instincts kicking into overdrive .
Grabbing her bag she stormed towards the door .
As she passed Hannah , she shoved her shoulder hard , deliberately bumping into her .
Hannah didnt react with anger .
Instead , she smiled darkly as she watched Edie storm out of the room , and then calmly closed the bathroom door behind her .
» you know why Edie married Henry sa suddenly ! Hannahs voice cut through the air .
Caspian , who had been standing by , frozen with his phone in hand , turned his head in confusion .
Wasnt it because she was abandoned by the Stewart family and needed a place to hide ? he asked , unsure .
Hannal laughed softly , stepping closer to him , her eyes locking with his Foolish boy , she said , her tone almost affectionate but laced with venom .
She used to be my friend .
What kind of woman willingly becomes her old friends daughter in Law ? 14 11:45 PM & d Chapter 422 She walked right up to Caspian and continued , Do you honestly think Henry was so extraordinary that shed abundun the Stewart everything , and marry into the Bennett family ? The Bennen family is bankrupt .
Were public enemies now .
Why would star want into this meu Caspian fell silent , his mind processing what she said .
She wanted something from the Bennett family , Hannah added with a cold smirk .
She thought she could take it.
But Fm afraid slac she wants Caspian couldnt help but feel a chill creep down his spine .
There was something in Hannahs voice , something unsettling , that made her suit see more like a threat than a simple observation .
He blinked , and in the next moment , Hannahs demesikir softened , almost like nothin happened .
It was as if the dark , sinister aura around her had disappeared in the blink of an eye .
He looked like a man on the brink of collapse , fully aware that the Bennett family was teetering on the edge of total collapse .
The suçtur already circling them like vultures .
He looked like a man on the brink of collapse , fully aware that the Bennett family was teetering on the edge of total collapse .
The media wai already circling them like vultures Why are you so frantic Hannah said coldly , a sly grin curling at her lips .
Why should I care about Henrys reputation ! Caspian , are you alright ! Atlas asked , his voice full of confusion .
The Bennett familys foundation was crumbling , and they were all adrift .
No one seemed to know what wa was truly happening Caspians expression darkened , and he leaned in to speak quietly , his voice low and intense .
Listen to me he said , closing the hospital room behind him .
Ever since Dad returned from abroad , hes been acting strange .
After Henry married Edie , everything changed And I don Hum Moms the same either .
Atlass eyes widened in surprise .
What do you mean ? Caspian continued , Mom and Dad are divorced , and Mom doesnt seem to care .
Shes not even trying to kick Sophia seem normal to you ? Atlas stood there , stunned, as he tried to piece together what was happening Now that you mention it it does seem off .
sand quiell , It feels like somethings going on with the Bennett family , but neither of us knows whats really happening is like they re secretly involved in something behind the scenes , and thats whats causing the Bennett family to end up like this , Caspian said quietly And now , whenever I go back home , it feels so ceric .
Its cold everywhere , and I keep having night Mom ? She said it would protect her .

The first one .
Mom , then Henry , and now Sophia .
Its like theyre all connected somehow , but I cant explain how .
My gut tells me the only person who us is Odalys .
Caspians voice dropped as he looked at Atlas , his frustration mounting Youre asking me to go back and beg Odalys No way Alas face flushed red , his anger rising as he waved his hand damisterly .
Ton her Tam her brother , he said , his voice filled with pride , but even as the words left his mouth , he could feel the lack of comiction .
He hail strength in those words , not after how Odalys had treated him , especially when she had so coldly turned her back on him .
The more he about it , the more uncertain he became 1 got into a car accident last night .
If it werent for Odalys , Id be dead right now .
Ive been so unlucky lately .
Have you thoug that Mom and Sophia mentioned ? Finians a perfect example of someone who got caught in it hes neither alive or dead , and hes lost everything Caplan rotirlin the situation .
Hearing this .
Atlas feh knot tighten in his stomach .
So , what do we do now ? Atlas asked , his voice shaking slightly with the rising panic .
