Chapter 152

"Henry felt a knot in his stomach. 'The Stewart family cares about Odalys more than we thought. And from what Orson said, if Percival dies, Odalys' life won't be all that bad. If she's pregnant with Percival's child right now, it's possible she could take over the entire Stewart family. We used to think that if Sophia married into the family and Percival died, things would go terribly for her.

But it looks like we were wrong. Now, it's different. She might actually end up with the entire Stewart family, and even the Lark family trying to get on her good side.'"

They hadn't expected such a great turn of events to fall into Odalys' lap.

"How is this possible? Why her?" Hannah was so angry she nearly twisted her back again. Lying there, unable to move, a flash of fury crossed her face. "When Odalys got married, she insisted on cutting ties with us. Did she know in advance that just getting pregnant would fix everything?" Hannah's disbelief was heavy in her voice.

"If Odalys didn't know this in advance, how could she be so sure about cutting ties with the Bennett family?" Hannah thought to herself. "What do we do now?" Her voice was tinged with confusion.

Henry leaned back, rubbing his temples in frustration. "Now that Sophia's reputation is tarnished, she won't be able to make it in the entertainment industry. We'll see if we can figure out a way to have her replace Odalys in the Stewart family."

Henry laid out his plan. "After all, it was supposed to be Sophia marrying Percival, not Odalys. If the Stewart family finds out the truth, they might kick Odalys out. Since the Bennett family doesn't acknowledge Odalys, the Stewart family might let things slide for Grandpa's sake. Then, while Percival is still alive, we can get Sophia pregnant. They said Percival wouldn't last more than a month, and ten days have already passed… We need to prepare. I'm not familiar with pregnancy supplements for rushing things, so Mom, can you handle it and get some for her?"

Hannah listened, glancing at Caspian. "Henry, what if the Stewart family…" Caspian's voice quivered with worry.

Chapter 132

Caspian had been severely injured and even attacked by a dog, but the police hadn't done anything about it. He'd tried to find out who was behind it, but couldn't find a lead. He had a feeling it might have been someone from either the Lark or Stewart families.

"In fact, Caspian hadn't offended either family. He couldn't shake his worries as he brought it up. 'When I was attacked, they warned me that if I ever laid a hand on Odalys again, they'd take my life. I suspect that, aside from the Lark family, the Stewart family is the only one willing to stand up for her,' Caspian said quietly.

Henry gave a bitter laugh. "Do you really think the Stewart family would stand up for Odalys? Once we take back the emerald pendant she's holding, she'll be useless to us," Henry said, a little too confidently.

After speaking, Henry turned to look at the screen beside him. "This giant python seems like something Sophia brought upon herself, but what if it's actually Odalys' plot? What if she's trying to publicly harm Sophia so she can take her place!"

This would mean she wants the Bennett family as her backers. Without them, she's nothing in the Stewart family. In those high-society families, anyone without backing has no standing. "I'm sure Odalys has weighed this all out," Henry added.

In his mind, Odalys was nobody. If Odalys got rid of Sophia, she could finally become the Bennett family's daughter.

"Is it really like that? If so, Odalys can't be allowed to live. She must die. Otherwise, even if Sophia gets pregnant, Odalys could still pull some trickery," Hannah said softly, her voice low but firm.

Caspian didn't dare to interrupt. He had over three hundred stitches in his body, and every part of him was still healing. The slightest movement would pull at his wounds, causing him pain so intense that it kept him awake at night. He didn't want to get involved in these matters anymore, especially since he feared that if it was really someone from the Stewart family behind this, the consequences could be disastrous.

"Do you think Atlas will manage to get the emerald pendant? Odalys has been keeping a close eye on him. Now that Finnian and Sophia have fallen out, Finnian might not help us anymore," Hannah said, her voice laced with worry.

Without the emerald pendant, things weren't going well for Hannah at all. She felt like everything was falling apart. First, her leg had been broken, then her face had been scarred when a phone exploded. During her hospital stay, she'd somehow managed to break her luck. It was as if unbelievable misfortunes were piling up on her.

"Mom, Oliver's here." Henry suddenly stood up with a jolt. Caspian was stunned.

"Didn't Oliver say he wouldn't come even if we begged him?" Caspian asked, puzzled. The fact that Oliver was eager to come see them made them feel uneasy, as if it wasn't a good sign. Hannah, too, felt a little uncertain.

"Maybe he was moved by us. After all, I've been asking people to plead with him," Henry said softly. "And I promised him that if he could help us, I'd give him 1.5 million dollars."

Although 1.5 million dollars was quite a lot, if Oliver could turn the Bennett family's luck around, it might be worth it.

No sooner had Henry spoken than the door was pushed open, and Oliver appeared in the room.

"Oliver, you're here!" Hannah was caught off guard when she saw him. A strange sense of panic swept over her. She tried to sit up but couldn't.

Oliver glanced around the room and said, "The hospital atmosphere is too heavy. It's not conducive to your recovery. You probably shouldn't stay here any longer."

"But we're all injured. What do we do if we leave the hospital? What if our condition worsens!" Hannah panicked.

Oliver replied, "At first, it was the emerald pendant that protected you, keeping you safe. Now that your bad luck has arrived, even staying in the hospital won't guarantee your safety. And the girl who gave you the emerald pendant could bring good fortune to the Bennett family. I don't understand why you didn't keep her."

Even the Bennett family became subtly uncomfortable.

Hannah immediately retorted, "Oliver, are you sure she brings good fortune to the Bennett family? When she was with us before, everything went wrong. After she left, we started to make a fortune. Now that she's back, we're facing trouble again. Things were never peaceful when she was around."

Hannah believed that everything bad that had happened to the Bennett family was Odalys' fault.

Oliver responded, "Is it possible that the Bennett family was always unlucky? She was by your side before, and maybe when bad things happened to you, she shielded you from the worst, so you only experienced minor setbacks. I've been doing divination for forty years, and I've never been wrong. This girl has incredibly good luck, and she's destined for wealth. Wherever she is, there will be prosperity."

Oliver looked at Hannah, then at Henry, and finally at Caspian. "It's a pity, though. It seems like none of you have good luck. You clearly don't belong together," Oliver said, shaking his head.

He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and softly added, "She is destined for a life of wealth, while you are on a downward path. You're simply not meant to be a family."

"Since you won't let her into your home, she'll have no connection to the Bennett family. It's true. You were meant to be one family, but you've driven away your fortune," Oliver said, offering a knowing smile.

I have corrected spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. I have also improved sentence structure and flow where necessary. The story still contains some stylistic choices that might be intentional (e.g., the use of ellipses), but the overall clarity and readability have been significantly enhanced.
