Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 409 She once helped the Drake couple , right ? That means she must have a solid relationship with the Drake family .

Caspian murmured to himself .

Why does Odalys have such good ties with all these rich families ! If I were to visit on behalf of her brother , they probably wouldnt refuse to help me get in touch with her , right ? Caspian whispered , unsure of himself as a strange longing took root inside him .

His heart raced .

He needed Odalyss help , needed her to explain everything , to tell him what to do .

If these issues werent resolved soon , he wasnt sure if hed survive but the Bennett family would definitely fall apart .

Please , help me get in touch with the Tillery family , or the Drake family , Caspian quickly dialed a number .

Tell them its Caspian , I need to talk to them urgently .

As he finished speaking , a flash of light illuminated the road ahead .

Before he could react , there was a deafening bang as another vehicle collided with his car .

He froze .

The impact threw him out of the car .

r .

and in mid air , the vehicle was hurled about 5 feet before it crashed to the ground .

The explosion that followed was deafening .

Ugh .

Caspian groaned , his body hitting the ground hard .

He shook his head , trying to clear the dazed fog .

Aside from a few scratches on his arm , he was miraculously unharmed .

He scrambled to his feet , his heart pounding in his chest .

The car was nothing more than a burning wreck , but when his eyes caught something on the ground beside him , his breath hitched a talisman , its edges already burned away , turning to ash He recognized it .

Hed seen Odalys use this very type of talisman on Freya during a variety show once .

Is it … Odalys he whispered , reaching out to touch the ashes .

But just as his fingers brushed against the burned remains , a gust of wind blew the ash away , scattering it into the air .

As if in response , Caspian felt something deep within hirn sur .

He looked up instinctively , his eyes narrowing A sleek Maybach sped past him , the windows rolled down , and through the glass , he saw Odalyss sharp profile .

her face lit by the streetlights , Odalys .

he gasped , his body moving on reflex , trying to run after her .

But just before he could , she turned , her gaze locking with his for a brief moment , Consider it repayment for the favor you did for me in a past life , when you covered my body , she said coldly , her voice carrying clearly despite its low volume .

Caspian froze , his mind racing to comprehend her words .

Did she just say … past life ? Before he could process it , the car sped off , disappearing into the night Oh my god … that was terrifying someone nearby muttered , shaking their head .

The car owner mustve been lucky if they hadnt been thrown out , theyd have been blown to pieces in that explosion .

Caspians body stiffened .

He had been wearing his seatbelt Normally , he never would have been ejected from the car in such a crash .

But in that moment , he felt the seatbelt snap , as though an invisible hand had yanked him out of the vehicle , saving his life.

If he hadnt been thrown out , he would have been shredded in the explosion .

Odalys , you saved me .

You must care about me , right ? You wouldnt want to see the Bennett family fall apart , would you ? he muttered to himself , almost feverishly .

Youll help us with the Love Spell , wont you ? Youll help me fix this Desperately , he fumbled for his phone , only to realize it had been destroyed in the blast .

Panic surged as he looked around , trying to spot any trace of the car shed been in , but it had already vanished from sight .

Moments later , the police arrived , blocking his path as they began to take his statement .

At the head of the group wa Caspian , seemed colder than usual , group was Lee , who , upon seeing Mr.

Benncit , Lee said , his tone noticeably detached .

We need you to come with us to clarify what just happened 1/2 11:44 PM dott .

Chapter 409 Caspian could sense the subtle change in Lees attitude , but he wasnt going to give up that easily .

He stepped forward , trying to force a friendly tonc .

Lee , I heard that Odalys helped you guys out with some cases before .

Ive heard shes been involved in several investigations .

You two must be familiar with each other , right ? Could you use your phone to help me contact her ? I really need to speak with her Lee slammed his notebook shut with a sharp clap , his gaze turning icy as he looked directly at Caspian .

Do you hear yourself ? Lees voice was low and stern .

Who I know is none of your concern .

Are you implying that you have inside knowledge about our investigations ? Do you think you know how we do our work ! He paused , letting the words sink in before continuing with an edge of disbelief .

And why would I help you get in touch with Odalys ? You two dont even share the same last name , Who knows what your relationship really is ? And let me ask you , Caspian did you get into that crash on purpose to draw attention ? Or was it some other reason ? Youd better explain yourself .

His tone was polite , but his words were a clear rebuke .

The other officers , who had been watching the exchange , exchanged glances .

They clearly felt some sympathy for Caspian , but Lees authority left them silent .

Caspian stood frozen , dumbfounded .

He hadnt expected Lee to be so stubborn Just then , Henry appeared , rushing toward him with a look of frustration .

Seeing Caspians disheveled state , he grabbed him by the arm , clearly irritated .

What the hell is going on here ! Henry barked .

I told you to lay low , didnt I ? Why are you out here making trouble again ! The Bennett Group cant afford any more negative press right now ! Caspians gaze darkened as he met Henrys eyes .

But instead of responding , he glanced behind him , his eyes landing on Edie Henry , did you get beaten up ? Caspian suddenly asked , his voice laced with surprise .

Henrys face was bruised , with cuts at the corners of his mouth , and his sleeves were torn .

It was obvious hed been through some sort of struggle likely a violent one .

Edie stood behind him , her posture proud and aloof , and Henry seemed strangely subdued in her presence .

Caspian didnt need to guess to know who had caused Henrys injuries you ? But didnt you get caught by the police ? Looks like the Youve got a lot of nerve , Caspian sneered .

You were trying to burn Odalys , werent you ? Simpson family is pretty well connected , getting you out so quickly .

People like you , who go around setting fires , trying to burn others … I wouldnt be caught dead associating with someone like you .

Dont ever compare yourself to Odalys , Caspian spat , his voice sharp with disdain .

Lee , still standing off to the side , cast a brief glance at Edie , his expression unreadable .
