Chapter 286
Freys was taken aback when she heard her words.
They sent you the script, so why are you pushing me and Stellan to do it? A rare opportunity to play the lead, and you’re not going to take it?” Freya askril, clearly confused.
Selah and Francis exchanged a glance.
She said. Tve never played the lead role before. The character is great, but it doesn’t quite suit my image. Francis, on the other hand, is a former supermodel who switched careers. He’s an actor too, but he chose the second male lead. I went with the second female lead”
“So, what about you and Stellan Have you thought about it?” Selah asked.
Freya picked up the script, reading it for a moment. Before she knew it, she was already hooked:
“Are you sure you’re not interested in playing the lead?” Freya asked again, confirming.
Both Selah and Francis nodded. They immediately called Stellan. To their surprise, it seemed he hadn’t gone to sleep yet and was apparently talking to his parents.
When he saw the incoming call, he answered right away,
“Why are you still awake?” Stellan asked, puzzled.
Francis exchanged a look with the others and replied, “We had a script reading today, and we realized that you and Freya are perfect for the lead roles. Selah and I are thinking about playing the second female and second male leads
“We weren’t sure if you had time. If you’re free, would you consider taking the role?” Francis asked.
Stellan was a bit surprised.
The script was from Odalys Star readings today. The boss’s kid was kidnapped, and Odalys had figured out the location and helped rescite the
child
In exchange for the favor, the boss gave her the script and allowed them to pick th
the roles for the characters.
“Does it suit us?” Stellan asked, somewhat concerned. “This script came from Odalys Star readings. If all of us end up playing the roles, won’t it
The others had already looked over the script and it could be told it was solid.
“Damon said today that none of the roles have been assigned yet. It’s not my decision to make. If you’re sure about it, you can go to the audition tomorrow. If you pass, you’ll get the role. If not, well, we’ll talk about it then, Odalys said calmly
She could tell these people were being tied together in some way
Sometimes, the coincidence worked in strange ways. When the time was right, opportunities just seemed to fall into one’s laps
“I go over the script tomorrow and see. If it works. I’m willing to give it a try Stellan said.
After a pause, he lowered his voice and added. “Odalys, my dad wants to talk to you. Is it a good time? If not, he can call you tomorrow.”
“It’s fine,” Odalys replied. She stood up and walked toward the floor–to–ceiling window leaning against it,
a sense of regret. “Ms Stone,
Dangelo’s voice came through the phone, calm and steady, like that of a middle–aged man He spoke politely and with a sense of Lapologize for disturbing you at this hour.”
“It’s no trouble. I’m still awake,” Odalys responded.
Dangel pussed for a moment before continuing in a quieter tone. The company arranges a physical exam every year, but every time, the results show that I have no health problems
“This time, though, after the incident, I was diagnosed with cancer. Stellan and I believe that someone might have been behind this. It’s very larly that the disease was induced
“And about the car accident it was strange. My car had been running perfectly fine, but when I turned a comer, it suddenly lost control like something was pushing it from behind, and it was thrown off course”
Chapter 236
Dangelo spoke, and if it weren’t for his own experience, he probably wouldn’t have believed it either,
But be and Sienna bath clearly felt something was off. Talking about it with her today, they both had the same feeling. There was something more
to this
“The luck, perhaps.” Odalys said, her curiosity piqued. “But the Drake family is definitely being targeted. Does your company have a specific partner for the physical exams!”
Dangelo nodded, replying, “Yes, in Crownridge, there are some excellent companies, and many of them have their own exclusive health check–up. partners. The main benefit is that you don’t have to wait in line. It saves time.”
“Usually, we make an appointment in advance, and then the department people go together for the check–up. The results are sent directly to the company. It’s simple and convenient, so we handle it this way,” Dangelo explained.
Odalys fell silent
“So the problem lies with the partner for the health exams,” Odalys said, her voice steady
Dangelo understood her meaning immediately.
“Alright, I get it. I’ll have someone secretly look into the health partner and find out who’s behind it, Dangelo said, his voice low and determined.
From the current medical reports, there was no way his cancer had developed just this year
He had only completed a check–up last month, so it was impossible to have contracted the disease in just two weeks. Such illnesses generally had warning signs. It couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere
“It’s best to check everyone around you, or perhaps replace them all,” Odalys suggested, her tone calm but firm.
The people closest to him were the ones most likely to tamper with things.
Tve already claimed to be sick as an excuse and replaced my driver, bodyguard, and even the servants at home,” Dangelo replied.
He was a businessman, clear–headed and sharp
When Stellan had mentioned these things to him, he realized that the Drake family had become a target.
In such situations, one wrong move could spell disaster for the entire family.
It wasn’t like this hadn’t happened before. Many wealthy individuals had suddenly met misfortune, helicopters crashing mid–flight or deadly car accidents
They all seemed like accidents, but most were actually orchestrated.
“If anything comes up, call me,” Odalys said.
After finishing her call with Dangelo, Odalys stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, gazing out at the empty square below. The only people she could see were a few late–night food delivery drivers, and beyond that, there was no one in sight.
“Odalys, want some more?” Freya asked, holding up a skewer of grilled meat.
Odalys took the lamb skewer from her and took a bite.
“I’m starting to feel a bit sleepy. Odalys admitted.
Francis and Selals had finished eating as well, stretching as they stood up. They glanced at the clock. It was already 2:30 am
“Alright, Odalys, I’m going to bed now,” Selah said, yawning. Francis waved and went straight to his room.
After finishing the lamb skewer, Odalys noticed that the table had been cleaned up. toward Freya’s room.
“I’ve

already made the bed,” Freya said cutely, insediately climbing into bed. She even lifted the blanket for Odalys, motioning for her to lie down Odalys looked at her with a soft smile. Freya’s eager expression made her chuckle as she went to freshen up. Afterward, Odalys climbed into bed, and Freya quickly snuggled up next to her, her small hand nervously clutching Odalys arm.
Tr’s okay.
‘a good night” Odalys said gently.
As soon as the words left her mouth. Freya immediately fell asleep, leaving Odalys lying there, staring up at the ceiling Her mind raced, replaying
Chapter 280
everything that had happened recently.
It wasn’t until she had somed through the details that she finally drifted off to sleeps
Suddenly, the phone vibrated, the sound piercing through the quiet room.
Odalys glanced at it, picked it up, and saw that it was Freya’s phone. She watched as the call went unanswered, and soon, a message popped up.
