Chapter 380
“Odalys sipped forward and stood in from at Sophia, letting out a sigh before speaking. “Sophia. I know your reputation has been ruined recently. and you’re feeling upset abonat it.
“But you can’t accuse me of things I didn’t do, Why would I break someone che’s security camera?
Tm a good person. I don’t do bad things, so why won’t you let this go! You trapped me before, and now, in front of so many people, are you trying to ramm me?” Odalys und quietly,
“The police officers remained silent after hearing her word.
Both women seemed to be in distress, but while Oilalys was unluurmed, Sophia was bully injured. Her face had a large scrape, and blood was still trickling slown
“I was clear that Sophia had been hurt badly, and her clothes were a mess, covered in dirt and with scratches all over her arms.
You You Sophia stomped her foot, afinost on the verge of tears, and shouted, “Ollicer, everything I’m saying is true! She tried to hurt met After hitting me, she sent messages for the Tillery family to come siver and finish what she started They even destroyed the security cameras! I’m not lying
“For the first time. Sophia was so furious with Odalys
lys that she almost felt like she might pass out
“Alright, let’s call out the owner of this place,” the officer said with resignation, going along with Sophia’s request.
“After all, without evidence, the police were in no position to make a judgment.
The owner, hearing the commotion outside, opened the door and stepped out. Upon hearing the conversation, he looked confused
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he lit in with a lighter and took a deep drag.
“What’s going on here!” he asked, his voice irritated, still in his flip–flops and beach shorts, running his hand through his messy hair.
The officer stepped forward, flashed his badge, and explained briefly. “Someone called the police and said this woman was assaulted right outside your door.
“The security cameras supposedly caught the whole thing. She also mentioned that Ms. Stone had broken your cameras. I just want to check the footage and see what happened”
The man took another drag from his cigarette, squinting at Sophia.
“Fuck, are you stupid or something? You must be crazy,” the man snapped at Sophia.
The crowd around them immediately went silent. They hadn t expected him to speak so harshly to Sophia.
Even Sophia was momentarily stunned. She pointed at herself, a bit confused, and asked, “Are you talking to me?”
“Yeah, I’m talking to you. Damn it, I was trying to take a nap, and here you are making a ruckus outside. Did you know you woke me up?” he growled.clearly irritated
“Also, my cameras have been broken for a long time. They weren’t destroyed by her,” he added, his voice filled with annoyance,
“He was so agitated from being woken up that, had the police not been there, he might h
thave gone over and punched her
It was so annoying.
“Why are you lying too?” Sophia demanded. “What’s your reason for supporting Odalys! I get it now. Her company is near here, so you’re backing her up, right? You’re afraid she’ll take revenge on you, aren’t you?”
“If you
just tell the truth to the police, I can guarantee you’ll be safe. Sophis insisted, nearly losing her composure.
“She couldnt believe this man was so cowardly. All he had to do was speak the truth, and everyone would know what really happened, but instead, be was insulting ber
you need to see a shrink. Your face is all swollen, and you’re stomping around,
“You really are out of your mind,” the man untered. “I think you whining, accusing people of things that are true”
“My cameras have been broken for ages, and it was my son who smashed them before.” the man yelled.

The pobec, beamcher words, quickly turned around and walked toward the area. The crowil, naturally, followed suit.
They bypassed the vehicles and walked a few steps forward, only to faid the snake hanging in the street
“The snake had a sharp stone lodged in its body, and there were no signs of struggle, indicating it fud firen killed instantly.
“There really is a snake. There’s a stone stuck in it, so it must have been killed by the rock,” someone gasped. The police officers also moved forward to inspect it and connmmed that Odalys had been right.
“The ske
pas venomous, and it appeared to have fallen from the tree
“The male homeowner looked at Odalys thoughtfully. He noticed her calm and collected demeanor, and when lus gaze shifted to Sophia, he fell into a deep silence.
“The house diagonally across from mine belongs to my grandfather. There are cameras there too, and they should have footage of what happened here. How about 1 check the footage?” the man suggested.
“At that moment, Sophia panicked. If the snake was really killed by Odalys, then the broken camera might genuinely be broken at first, and everyone would start thinking she was lying.
“Sophia quickly turned her head to look at Odalys, meeting her challenging gaze. A sense of unease began to settle in her stomach. She felt like she
“She did this on purpose. Odalys did this on purpose, Sophia thought to herself.
Sophia opened her mouth to protest but quickly realized she couldn’t back out now with so many people around. It had been her decision to call the police, and it was her request to check the footage. Regret was useless at this point.
“Yes, go ahead and check the footage to see who’s lying, people around them shouted.
“By now, they were starting to believe that Odalys was innocent.
“Everyone knew Odalys had the ability to kill a snake.
After all, anyone who had seen her on the variety show knew she could kill a wild boar with her bare hands. Taking down a snake would be n challenge for her.
“Alright, I’ll check the footage, the man said.
“He turned and went back into the house. He took down the ultra–thin TV from the living room, placed it on an empty shelf, and plugged it in
Once the TV powered on, he unmediately took out his phone and accessed the footage from his grandfather’s house.
“The video flickered a few times before showing the moment Odalys bent down to pick something up. She looked up at the tree, and a snake was hanging down, in head swaying as it stuck our its tongue.
Odalys thoughtfully lookril down, picked up a rock from the ground, and turned to throw it at the snake.
“The stoor flew through the air and struck the sake perfectly, causing it to recoil before falling front the tree. The entire se
scene was displayed in high detation on the TV
“How is this possible? Eclearly saw her sanashing the camera!” Sophia’s face went pale instantly.
