Chapter 299
Celeste recalled that people could die instantly by "figlaning"โa word seemingly misspelled and needing clarification in the original textโand that Isat Mhostinn was in danger. Harvey stood there, his eyes meeting Percival's.
โMrs. Tillery, I have something to tell you,โ Odalys said, glancing over, knowing the two men were cautiously observing. The original phrasing "the two men cdiciously hal" is unclear and corrected here for clarity. The sentence "After all the outside would thought Percival families to join him, so he naturally hond to" is grammatically incorrect and its meaning is lost. It needs to be rewritten with more context.
โYes,โ Celeste replied, determined not to appear negligent. Harvey, suddenly appearing, seemed puzzled; Percival needed (The sentence trails off, the original text "wediliy" is unintelligible and requires context.)
She had just witnessed Odalys's powers, and after hearing her claim responsibility for the thunder, Odalys's status in her heart was elevated. She looked at Odalys with admiration and reverence.
Odalys whispered, โYour daughter will be fine when she wakes up. Do have her avoid celebrities in the future, lest she fall into others' traps. Especially families like yours, who are wealthy, are easy targets.โ (Several spelling and grammatical errors corrected.)
โAdditionally, I will deal with the Bennett family; Sophia will be dealt with. As for your daughter's situation, don't disclose it to the police (for the time being)." (Parenthetical phrase added for clarity.)
Celeste followed and nodded quickly, โYes.โ Her voice trembled. She wanted to speak but dared not say more. Her mind was filled with the scene where Odalys, with a flick of her wrist, ignited the snakes in mid-air, burning them to ashes; then, with a wave of her hand, the black mist above the entire house dissipated.
The scene was like a movie special effect. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
โIf you want to do good deeds, go to my studio and pray,โ Odalys whispered.
โOkay, Iโll go tomorrow,โ Celeste replied quickly. She looked at Odalys with admiration and love.
โMrs. Stewart, can I have your autograph?โ Celeste asked after standing beside her in silence for a long time, finally mustering the courage. She used to be furious when Blossom was starstruck. She never expected that she, too, would want an autograph from Odalys. That fidgety, uneasy feeling drove her to ask.
โOkay,โ Odalys whispered.
Celeste searched but found she hadn't brought anything. Subconsciously, she lifted her wrist, pushing up her sleeve to reveal her arm.
โHow about signing it here?โ Celeste asked tentatively, even picking up a charred branch from the ground to offer. She realized her presumption and was about to discard it when Odalys took it and scribbled something on her arm. Celeste looked down and saw Odalys had signed her name.
โWhatโs this?โ Celeste rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Odalys smiled softly and said, โMagic dust. It wards off evil.โ
โThe handwriting is so beautiful!โ Celeste looked at the words on her arm, not daring to pull down her sleeve, fearing the words would be erased.
Odalys laughed at her uneasy look. โIt canโt be washed off.โ As she spoke, she turned and walked out. Percival emerged from the Tillery residence; Harvey followed respectfully, his eyes deep as he looked at him.
Chapter 209 (Note: This chapter number is inconsistent with the previous chapter. There's likely a numbering error in the original text.)
โHoney,โ Celeste hurried forward. Just as she was about to show him the signature on her arm, she heard Harvey say, โThe Stewart family is unfathomable.โ
โWhat?โ Celeste was stunned, thinking she'd heard wrong.
Harvey stood there, hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, โThe Stewart family strategizes and controls the global economy. They can navigate the business and political world with ease. Itโs not luck, but intelligence.โ
โI canโt believe Percival is so young and yet so powerful. Thankfully, our family has always remained neutral and never crossed the Stewart family,โ Harvey continued, his voice filled with admiration for Percival.
โWas that Percival Stewart?โ Celeste gasped. Nobody had actually seen Percival in person; rumor had it he was dead. With that thought, Celeste turned around in astonishment, only to discover that Odalys and Percival had already driven away.
Harvey whispered, โThat car had the license plate 5-ABโthe Stewart Group chairmanโs car. That man was Percival Stewart. I canโt believe Odalys is with him, and that he personally brought her here.โ
โIt seems Odalys saved our family because of the Stewart family. Otherwise, with her capabilities, she wouldn't have bothered.โ
โSo, Odalys is the one rumored to be engaged to Percival as a lucky charm. She's Mrs. Stewart? Oh my god, I just asked for her autograph! I didn't leave a bad impression, did I?โ Celesteโs face was ashen. The incident of Blossomโs injury was long forgotten; she had become a fan of Odalys.
โIt must be her! Odalys saved our family tonight and warned us against Oliver's tricks. We must remember this favor,โ Harvey whispered. He looked down at the signature on Celesteโs arm and whispered, โI heard Odalys only does resource swaps. Letโs offer our family's best resources and sign a contract with her.โ
โYes,โ Celeste said excitedly. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Blossom suddenly sit up in the distance. She looked at them with a confused face and said, โMom, why am I sleeping here? Hey, where is Odalys? Did she leave?โ
Blossom looked confused. When she got up, her memories returned, and her expression changed drastically.
โDid Odalys leave? She saved me, didnโt she? I feel like the obsession in my body is gone,โ Blossom asked anxiously.
Seeing her wake up, Celeste excitedly hugged Blossom. This was the future and hope of the Tillery family. They thought there was no cure, but now hope was rekindled.
โSheโs gone! Donโt worry. Starting tomorrow, you can go to her studio with me to pray,โ Celeste comforted Blossom, and Blossom didnโt throw a tantrum. She quietly digested what happened, staring blankly at the gate for a long time.
โMom, can I still be starstruck?โ Blossom asked.
Celesteโs mind seemed to explode as she looked at Blossom in disbelief.
โI want Odalys as my idol,โ Blossom whispered.
Before Celeste could speak, she silently pulled down her sleeves, afraid Blossom would see the signature on her arm. It would be too embarrassing if Blossom knew she also worshipped Odalys.
9:37 PM
Chapter 299 (Repetition of chapter number; likely an error in the original text)
Celeste stood up awkwardly and said casually, โUp to you.โ Harvey frowned, watching Celeste feigning casualness while rubbing the signature on her arm. He didnโt say anything and walked into the villa. He didnโt understand the world of women.
This cleaned-up version addresses grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, punctuation issues, and unclear phrasing. However, some sentences still lack context and might need further clarification depending on the overall narrative. The inconsistent chapter numbering also needs attention.
