Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 473 So , with this , Oliver will inevitably get tangled up with the Bennett family … Drsons voice was filled with excitement .

Odalys , did you foresee this all along ? He was practically buzzing with adrenaline .

Magic was far more thrilling than medical school , he decided .

Move your hand , Percival suddenly snapped , his eyes icy as they fixed on Orsons hand , which was still resting on Odalyss shoulder .

Orson froze , then glanced down , realizing that , in his enthusiasm , his hand had slipped onto Odalyss shoulder and he was leaning uncomfortably clove to her .

Whats with the proximity ? Percivals voice grew colder , his warning sharp .

Flustered , Orson immediately pulled his hand back .

He hadnt meant anything by it hed just gotten carried away with the conversation .

He wasnt trying to take advantage of Odalys .

I … I wasnt trying to … Orson stammered , his face turning crimson with embarrassment .

The others had always called him a playboy , but the truth was , he wasnt nearly as experienced as people thought .

was as if his repu reputation was already His ears were burning , and he quickly turned his face away , desperately trying to avoid looking at Odalys .

It was as ruined Shall we add a little more fuel to the fire ? Percivals voice cut through the awkward silence , his tone sly .

Odalys shook her head with a smile .

No need .

If we push too hard , itll look too deliberate .

Let them destroy themselves .

Let them fall apart on their own Right Percival nodded approvingly .

Odalys turned her head , resting her cheek against the car window.

The world outside sped past them as the luxury car cruised smoothly through the streets .

Suddenly , her phone buzzed in her hand .

She glanced at the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen , her fingers pausing momentarily before she decided to pick up .

Odalys , its me , Henrys voice rasped through the phone , barely audible , as if he hadnt had a drink of water in days .

His throat was rough , and his words were laced with panic .

I told you not to call me again , Whats the point of using a new number ? Odalys frowned , clearly irritated , preparing to hang up .

But Henry , as if sensing her intent , panicked .

Wait , dont hang up .

I need your help , he pleaded , his voice strained .

His desperation was palpable , and Odalys could hear the urgency in his tone .

I suspect theres something wrong with the Simpson family .

Edies been with me , but its clear shes trying to get close to the Bennett family .

Sophias been with my father , and now the Bennett familys falling apart .

My parents are getting divorced .

The other day , Edie threatened me , saying I had to take her back to the Bennett Villa .

I think shes looking for something there .

So , I moved out and am staying elsewhere now .

She even had Quinton beat me up .

Ive noticed something odd about Quinton .

Hes changed .

Hes not the same as he was before .

Ive seen him with my father overseas , and his attitude now is completely different , Henry blurted out , spilling whatever information he could .

Odalys straightened up , intrigued despite herself .

His words were beginning to catch her attention .

So what does that have to do with me ? she asked coolly .

This is your Bennett familys mess , not mine .

The more indifferent Odalys acted , the more frantic Henry became .

At this point , Henrys mind was racing .

He knew only one person could possibly save him Odalys .

She was powerful , and with her connection to Percival , if he could somehow get her on his side , not only would he be safe , but he could possibly even gain favor with the Stewart family .

It was a win win .

Think back , Henry pressed .

Why did your mother abandon you and adopt Sophia instead ? Why did she choose her over you , even though youre Chapter 473 both daughters ? Odalys laughed , a sharp , mocking sound that echoed through the phone .

enry was stunned .

He thought these words would intrigue her , but instead , she laughed as if it were the most ridiculous thing shed ever heard .

Because shes a slut , Odalys replied bluntly , her tone laced with scorn .

If Id stayed in the Bennett family .

Id just be a servant , a tool for you all to use and abuse .

But Sophia … well , shes different .

She can flirt with you all , offer you … entertainment value .

Henrys chest tightened .

The words entenainment value , slut they hit him like a punch to the gut .

His pride , his vanity , his sense of control all of it was crumbling in the face of Odalyss casual cruelty .

Henry , Odalys said suddenly , calling out his full name , her voice icy .

Henry froze , a chill running down his spine .

An ominous feeling settled in his gut .

He wanted to hang up , but at the same time , he couldnt stop himself from listening .

Do you know why youre so unlucky ? Odalyss voice was cold , each word a needle piercing through his defenses .

Because you once someone to kidnap my master , maybe even kill him .

You thought youd kept it all secret , didnt you ? to hire But I knew .

Ive always known .

You wanted to use my master to blackmail me into helping your Bennett family .

You even thought Id pave the way for Sophia , or that Id step aside and let you take my position as Mrs.

Stewart .

Odalyss words hit him like a series of punches , and for the first time , he realized that every step , every move hed made had been seen through by her And this is why youre in the mess youre in , Odalys said with a sneer .

Its not an accident .

Its karma .

When you tried to harm me , the Bennett family was already done for .

Did you ever wonder why Hannah suddenly had her legs broken ? Why your companys been falling apart ! You tried to harm me and use me ? Youre not worthy .

Odalyss voice was icy , her laughter mocking .

Her words were like daggers , each one twisting deeper into Henrys heart .

He wanted to argue , to deny it , but the truth was undeniable .

Everything she said was right .

He thought he had been clever , hiding his schemes , but she knew everything .

Just wait for your downfall , Odalys said with finality , her voice cutting through the line .

She didnt give him a chance to respond .

With a swift motion , she hung up the phone and blocked him without a second thought .

Percival , who had been listening to the c conversation , couldnt hide the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth .

Youre smiling Whats so funny ? Odalys glanced at him , an eyebrow raised .

Percival steered the car expertly around a corner , still grinning .

You knew it was Henry calling , and you still answered on purpose .

Odalys smirked .

Just to push him a little further .

Make him feel the hopelessness , so that when Oliver shows up .

Henry will jump at the chance to ally with him .

Then well see what Olivers really capable of .

And well find out if it was him , or someone else , who encouraged the Bennett family to abandon me all those years ago .

Odalyas eyes sparkled with a dangerous gleam , and Percival couldnt help but admire her cunning .

Ah , you really are something , she added , almost teasingly Orson , who had been silently observing the two of them , couldnt help but feel like he was witnessing a love story unfold one that was more dangerous than romantic .

Just then , his phone buzzed .

He sat up straighter , his excitement palpable .

Odalys , the test results for all those rich families whove been sick have come back , Orson said , practically bouncing in his seat Well ? Odalys asked , her curiosity piqued .

Orson handed her the phone , eagerly awaiting her reaction .

They may seem like different illnesses , but they all have one thing in common .

As you suspected , theres something strange linking them all , Orson reported .

Odalys glanced at the results , her expression thoughtful 7:39 AM c c Chapter 473 What about Dangelos cancer treatment ? Has the research been completed ? she asked , her voice sharp .

Orson shook his head .

According to the prescription you gave , hes been taking the medicine as directed , and his condition has been controlled But the cancer cells in his body … theyre behaving strangely .

The medication keeps them in check but doesnt eliminate them .

My grandfathers still working on your prescription , trying to see if increasing the dosage could help .

Odalys nodded slowly , her mind racing .

Everything was falling into place .
