Oliver frowned in displeasure. He thought, โAfter all, who in the wealthy circles of Crownridge didnโt know me? I was once the leading energy field master of Crownridge. Some rich people would offer me limousine services and offer over three millions dollars in travel expenses to get me to their doors to check their energy field. Otherwise, I wouldnโt lift a finger. However, Orsonโs indifference now makes me uncomfortable.โ
โMr. Lark, if you donโt deal with this in time, disaster will befall you. Did someone die in your house today?โ Oliver asked, pretending to be profound.
Orson listened and raised an eyebrow. โNo one died in my family, but someone I know died today.โ Orsonโs tone remained indifferent.
However, Orson looked at Oliver and found he had lost his previous composure. Oliver was a little flustered and uneasy as he faced Orson.
Oliver said, โThatโs right. Mr. Lark, you are tainted with the resentment of that person, who must have been close to you before. Now that he is dead, all his resentment is on you. Did someone give you a talisman or something? That talisman just absorbed a lot of resentment into your body, causing your forehead to turn dark. If you donโt remove the talisman, Iโm afraid you will be in big trouble.โ
Orson listened with a smile and said nothing.
Oliver felt embarrassed for a moment as if everything was just him talking to himself. Orson didnโt even respond, making him wonder if he should continue.
Oliver continued to brainwash, โMr. Lark, it is fate we met today. Youโd better listen to my advice, otherwise, something will happen to you. The other party is targeting the LArk family. It must be the Lark familyโs energy field is great, and someone wants to destroy it. Be careful of mistresses.โ
Orson listed and silently took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Smoking was not allowed in the hospital, so Orson did not light it but held it in his mouth. Then he leaned against the wall with his arms crossing over his chest.
โIn that case, is there something wrong with the talisman Odalys gave me? Then look again. Is the person who died today related to Odalys?โ Orson suddenly asked. His tone was flat, and his emotions were unreadable. It even made it hard to understand what he was trying to ask.
Oliver wasnโt stupid. He had seen countless people from wealthy and influential families, so he knew those people were fickle and unpredictable. Orsonโs attitude seemed somewhat careless. He also couldnโt figure out how deep Orsonโs trust in Odalys was.
โYes! The personโs death is Odalysโ doing. Now many people believe her but donโt know her goal is probably to gain a foothold in Crownridge and then dismantle you step by step,โ Oliver said.
Orson looked at Oliver in surprise. He said, โYou know all this? Oliver, youโre indeed a master. Youโre amazing! You can figure all this out. So what did you mean just now when you were outside the VIP ward and wanted to eavesdrop? Did you want to know what Odalys was up to, or did you make a move on Dโangelo?โ
Oliverโs expression changed slightly.
Before he could speak, he heard a womanโs laughter. Then, Odalys appeared, striding out from the darkness.
Odalys said coldly, โYou donโt think no one is here watching you, do you? You hid near the VIP ward and tried to peek. Are you trying to stir up trouble or provoke the Lark family into dealing with me? You said the talisman on Orsonโs body had a problem and that it would absorb resentment and hurt him? Oliver, you are truly a talent. If he had listened to you and removed the talisman, he would probably be dead before you by now. You canโt break my talisman and canโt hurt him, so you want him to throw it away on his own initiative. I didnโt know you, an energy master, had such a vicious heart.โ
Oliver didnโt expect Odalys to be there, let alone that she would expose him in public. He did want to fool Orson and make him throw the talisman away just then.
The talisman Odalys drew was powerful. Oliver had no chance to make a move. Once the kind of talisman sensed his move, it would actively attack and even take his life directly.
Oliver didnโt expect Odalys to have such a powerful talisman. He was even more convinced there must be an expert behind her. He didnโt believe Odalys could draw such a powerful charm at such a young age. He had lived for decades and had never seen it before. He would never recognize her power.
โYou are talking nonsense,โ Oliver was furious.
He was blocked there by them. If Odalys hadnโt appeared, he would have been able to escape, but now that Odalys had appeared, he felt he couldnโt leave.
โHow can I talk nonsense? Wasnโt it because of me that you were sent to the hospital today? How can you be expected to come to the hospital on your own if youโre not seriously injured? Oliver, donโt tell me you couldnโt even predict this. Youโve suffered three backlashes, and your health has declined significantly,โ Odalys said, raising an eyebrow.
Her words were light but only served to further infuriate Oliver. He had never met someone so young and arrogant.
โYou! The three backlashes were all you? Odalys Stone, are you setting me up?โ Oliver panicked.
He had been an energy field master in Crownridge for decades. He was accustomed to a life of admiration. Now, his comfortable like had been shattered. He was reduced to hiding in the Bennett Villa for his safety. It was infuriating.
โWhat else? You want to help the Bennett family deal with me, but do you think you can drive a wedge between us? Or did you believe I wouldnโt dare to act because you used Windsor?โ Odalys said with a smile.
Her questions struck a nerve and Oliver looked flustered.
โDid you have a hand in the Stewart familyโs downfall all those years ago?โ Odalys asked coldly.
Oliver was stunned. He looked at Odalys in disbelief. Even a fool could tell she was there to settle accounts. It was because of what happened to the Stewart family back then.
He thought, โI was suddenly backfired today, vomiting blood incessantly. Then I was sent to the hospital and was finally caught eavesdropping. So the news that Dangelo took his medicine today was probably also released by her, just to let me hear it?โ Oliver thought of that and his legs went limp in fear.
โDid you deliberately let someone tell me the news that Dangelo took his medicine today?โ Oliver was unsure but still wanted to ask.
โIf I have to die, I will die with a clear understanding,โ thought Oliver.
โWhat else? Dangelos stays in the VIP ward. His daily life and medications are kept secret. Why did the doctors and nurses suddenly chat about it in an ordinary ward like yours?โ Odalys asked, smiling.
Oliverโs eyes widened. He stared at Odalys before him and thought, โShe managed to scheme against me.โ
โYou!โ Oliver was speechless. He kept staring at Odalys with his eyes wide open.
