Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 424 widened in shock as he gasped , momentarily holding his breath .

Omons beautiful eyes wi once appeared pure and refined .

After her face turned a sickly yellow , it seemed to distort before his He stared in disbelief at the woman who had eyes her high aristocratic nose collapsed , her small mouth stretched into a grotesque gaping maw .

Her eyebrows had faded to mere stubs .

Her face appeared flattened , her once delicate eyes bulging grotesquely , resembling those of a dead fish .

Her once thick hair thinned and receded , leaving her with a receding hairline , a stark bald spot on top like a middle aged mans halding scalp .

Her slender , graceful fingers had turned thick and stubby , while her breasts shrank from a C cup to an A cup , and her height , which had once been a modest 52 , now seemed to shrink to barely 50 , What had once been a vibrant , captivating woman was now a deformed , unrecognizable figure .

There was even a faint odor in the air , one that didnt belong to her at all .

Gone was the soft fragrance she usually exuded .

I is this really Sophia ? Orsons voice trembled in disbelief His lips moved , but no words could come .

He couldnt find a single phrase to encapsulate what he was feeling .

Onion was shocked You should take a look at her abdomen , Odalys said , raising a hand to point .

Orson , a trained doctor , wasnt unfamiliar with examining bodies .

He knew what to do without feeling out of place Quickly , he separated Henry and Sophias bodies , lifting her top to reveal her abdomen .

His eyes narrowed as he noticed a slight looseness in the This doesnt look like the typical bloating youd get from overeating .

A womans stomach doesnt usually get this way unless shes given birth look at these stretch marks , he muttered , his voice low , trying to keep it quiet .

He couldnt contain his shock .

His words hung in the air , but they didnt feel like they were enough to explain what was happening This body of hers … its a vessel .

A carefully crafted vessel The Bennett familys luck has always been poor , which is why its been tainted with such negative energy , Odalys explained , her voice measured , as though she were unraveling a complex mystery .

t you see on the surface is an illusion .

Once she Sophia may appear to elevate the Rennert familys luck , but everything about her is a lie .

What ↑ reached a certain peak , everything about her started to reverse itself When she was adopted into the Bennett family , my own aura was ira was still present , masking her true nature .

But over the years , Sophia could have prolonged the facade .

Instead , her ambition and malice became too much , and now shes spiraled into self destruction , Odalys continued , her words slow and deliberate , as if she were piecing together a puzzle .

Orson stepped back , instinctively distancing himself from Sophia .

Even if he had never been superstitious , seeing her like this made him uneasy .

He was afraid that if he stayed too close , her cursed energy would infect him , and his luck would take a turn for the worse .

But if shes like this , why did we see her as a beautiful woman before ? Orson asked , his confusion deepening How could someone go from being so hideous to so flawless ! No surgery could achieve this kind of transformation her height had been stretched , her sickly yellow skin h her balding scalp had become a flowing mane of hair .

skin had turned pale and smooth , and even It was a miracle of impossible proportions , and Orson felt as though everything hed seen had been nothing but an illusion .

Her astrological signs are heavily laden with negative energy energy thats unique , so she was chosen .

But this was also her own desired outcome , Odalys explained , Once selected , she underwent bone reshaping , skin scraping her body was essentially swapped out for a new one .

Shes been soaking in a special candle and talisman for years , which has baptized her body , allowing her to take on the appearance we know .

Shes had constant assistance from someone behind the scenes , empowering her , keeping her beautiful .

Thats why she always looked perfect .

Before she was hospitalized , it was like she became an entirely different person .

The elderly man who had been working on her energy manipulation ..

he died after I thwarted his rituals .

Thats when I decided to expose that villa , so the people behind her wouldnt be able to continue using that cursed energy field to empower her .

Omons face went pale .

1/2 11:26 Chapter 421 So … the people who died in that villa were all connected to Sophia ? They were paving the way for her ? His breath caught in his throat .

Over a dozen people had died each death brutal and horrifying .

The entire city had been shaken to its core by the revelations .

Yes , you could say that .

The murders stirred up resentment , which gathered more negative energy in that villa .

Thats how they were able to use it to boost Sophias fortune When she attacked Finnian , it was because I interrupted a ritual .

The person behind her was killed by a backlash , and Sophias body slowly began .

to deteriorate .

Desperate , she targeted Finnian ..

But Finnian didnt know that she was after fter his fortune .

By stealing it , she clouded his mind , leading him down a dangerous path .

And that was when Finnans true nature was exposed , and the Lark family kicked him out .

Orson stood still , his mind racing .

There were so many layers to this situation so many hidden truths .

He no longer felt any sympathy for Sophia He glanced at the woman on the operating table , then over to Henry lying nearby .

He couldnt help but feel a strange detachment .

So what do we do now ? What should I do ? Orson asked cautiously , his voice low and respectful .

Percival had told him before to follow Odalyss instructions , to put her first above all else .

The Stewart family , the Lark Group they were all at her disposal Right now , he was her assistant , and he would do whatever was necessary no matter what it took I want to see how much energy is mixed in with her aura how many peoples fates are intertwined with hers , Odalys said , her gaze fixed on Sophia with a quiet intensity .

She reached out , her hand gently pressing against Sophias forehead .

Orson saw her fingers tremble slightly , and he noticed the subtle frown on her face .

Odalys ? Whats going on ? Orsons voice cracked with urgency .

Odalys didnt answer immediately .

She stood there , her gaze locked on Sophia , lost in thought .

Orson n held his breath , anxiously waiting for her to speak .

Finally , she spoke , her voice barely above a whisper .

I see … a tangled web of fates .

There are numerous intersecting lines of fortune some of them even point to the Bennett family .

Her familial ties … theyre closer than I thought .

But I dont understand .

I never saw any direct bloodline connection between her and them Orson blinked , his confusion deepening .

What does it mean that her family line is crossing with the Bennett family ? Didnt we always think there was no blood relation ? Odalys muttered under her breath , her brow furrowed .

Its not a direct lineage , but its there .

Its like an ancestral link distant , perhaps a collateral branch .

But Henry … Henry isnt related to her at all .

Her eyes narrowed as she reached for Henrys wrist , placing it over Sophias body .

The energy between them swirled together , intertwining .

The more she looked , the deeper her frown grew .

Now it makes sense .

No wonder Sophia was so desperate to get Henrys hearts blood .

Their energy is complementary .

If she uses his blood , especially with a Love Spell , she could reverse her situation entirely
