Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 416 Henry was writhing in pain , his body feeling like it was falling apan .

His hand instinctively pressed against his stomach , and he looked up at Odalys in disbelief , only to meet her cold , indifferent gare .

I told you before stay out of my way , or Ill kill you .

Im not a Bennett , and I have nothing to do with the Bennett family .

Your mess is your OWEL problem .

It has nothing to do with me Odalys voice was flat , devoid of any hint of sympathy .

Sering Henry kneeling in agony on the ground , she felt nothing but contempt .

Men like him hypocrites she had seen far too many .

Since youre so intent on this , then give me back the necklace .

It was something you gave to Mom before .

Once something is given , its not something you take back .

Odalys said coldly .

Henrys eyes locked onto the necklace around her neck , his gaze intense .

Memories of the past flooded his mind .

He remembered Odalys mentioning that the necklace had been given to her by her master .

It was said to have spiritual energy , something that could keep a person safe .

When she gave it to Hannah , shed told her that it would protect her from harm , and from that moment , everything had seemed to go smoothly for her .

But after Odalys took the necklace back , Hannah had fallen and been crushed by a chandelier , her luck had been in freefall ever since .

Now , Henry couldnt help but fixate on the emerald pendant .

The intricate patterns carved into it sparked a bold thought in his mind .

Perhaps this necklace was indeed something extraordinary otherwise , why would Odalys keep it so close ! With a sneer , Odalys spoke .

You really have no shame .

This necklace was a gift from my master .

Even if I said I gave it to her , its still mine .

Who do you think you are , asking for it back ? Would you even dare to take it if I gave it to you ? Henry, you know , things that dont belong to you taking them could kill you .

So do you dare accept i Her voice was chilling , every word sharp with a dangerous edge .

She stared at him with a gleam of amusement in her eyes , mocking him .

Henry , despite his pain , felt a surge of greed claw at his insides .

He was desperate , his voice tight with urgency .

I want it .

Just give it to me , and I wont bother you again Odalys gave him a cryptic smile , a strange gleam in her eye .

as his eyes followed it hungrily , Slowly , she reached up and unlatched the necklace from around her neck .

She swayed it in front of him , watching as as if it were the most precious thing in the world .

Without a second thought , Henry lunged forward , trying to grab the necklace from her hand .

But before he could touch it , something from above suddenly slithered down the tree .

A small snake , its eyes gleaming with malice , shot toward him , flicking its tongue at him .

Henry froze , his eyes wide in disbelief , his nose twitching with a sharp pain .

He stared at the creature , unable to comprehend what was happening .

The snake was charging at him .

Before he could react , the snake lifted its tail and wham slapped him hard across the face .

Henry screamed in agony , stumbling back and falling to the ground .

The snake landed gracefully , its tail planted firmly on the ground , its head raised , eyes locked on Henry as it flicked its tongue in his direction .

It seemed to be teasing him , as if daring him to make a move .

S snake ? Henry y stammered , his voice cracking in panic .

How how is there a snake !!! The confidence he had earlier vanished in an instant , replaced by pure terror .

He stumbled backward , clutching his nose , feeling the blood trickling from it .

Odalys stood there , arms crossed , watching him with a smirk that made his blood run cold .

In that moment , it dawned on him Odalys had known about the snake .

But how had she known it would be there ! targeting him , not her ? The little creature hissed again , flicking its tongue , clearly preparing to strike again .

And why was the snake Henry , shaking with fear , slowly crawled away .

His face burned with the sting of the snakes tail , the pain far worse than what hed felt when Edies people had attacked him .

That was nothing compared to this .

A a are you keeping this snake as a pet ! he demanded , his voice trembling 1/2 with rage and fear .

Im your brother ! How could you do this to murt 11:45 PM Chapter 416 Are you enjoying watching me suffer like this ? His frustration boiled over , all his plans of emotional manipulation now completely falling apart .

He had thought that by playing the victim , Odalys would soften , but now , she only seemed to be enjoying his misery .

How did you get here ! Odalys stepped forward .

She reached out and flicked the little snake on its forehead .

The moment it was flicked , the snake obediently landed in her palm with a soft plop curling up into a ball and resting there .

I thought you left .

Odalys murmured .

Last night , it had swiftly slithered into the grass , and she thought after its revenge , it would return to the mountain village .

But to her surprise , it reappeared here .

She was shocked when she first saw it ..

The little snake shook its head at her , and Henry stared at the scene in disbelief .

He couldnt believe she was actually talking to a snake .

What more battling was that the snake was lying calmly in her palm without biting her .

Henry clutched his stomach , struggling to get up .

His eyes were locked on Odalys , but he dared not approach her .

His hands clenched into fists , full of hatred and anger .

Whats wrong ? Didnt you want my necklace ? Odalys asked coldly , looking at him .

Seeing the venom in Henrys eyes , she didnt get angry .

Instead , she smiled mockingly .

The Bennett familys tricks were transparent to her now .

She would never fall for them .

And by the way .

Odalys suddenly added , I just texted Edie .

She should be here soon As soon as she mentioned Edie , Henrys expression changed .

The excitement he had felt for Edie earlier was now gone .

Thinking of her aging face , he had been startled awake from a nightmare last night .

He couldnt believe how much older she looked without makeup .

It was terrifying .

You Odaly , are you trying to kill me ? Henry growled , his anger flaring up .

He didnt know if she was serious or not , but a sense of dread began to bubble up inside him .

Edie was a madwoman , so was Odalys , and even Sophia none of these women were normal .

What a damn unlucky situation he was in .

Didnt you bring this upon yourself ? Odalys replied , her voice icy .

I figured you and your wife must be newlyweds , all lovey dovey .

Isnt it for your own good that Ive called her over ? She stepped closer , her eyes glinting .

Otherwise , what were you planning to do , stay here and rage at me ? Trying to morally blackmail me and use me against her ? She chuckled dryly .

Too bad for you .

When you got married , you couldnt even get a proper deal from Percival , and you think you can get anything from me ? The most Ill give you is a slap .

Nothing more .

Her calm demeanor made Henry even more enraged He stood there , his lips moving , but before he could respond , the sound of high heels clicking sharply against the floor behind him made his body freeze .

He looked down at the shadow cast on the ground .

A figure was walking toward him from behind , stopping right next to him.

Damn it , Henry cursed under his breath , his hand trembling involuntarily .
