“Moments later, the door to the storage room was kicked open, and Orson strode in.
“Orson?” Finnian was startled and instinctively called out as his gaze met Orson’s deep, penetrating eyes.
Orson ignored him, bending down to examine Atlas, noticing the gaping wound on his chest.
“You did this?” Orson asked in a low, ominous voice.
Finnian quickly shook his head, trying to stand, but before he could move, his bodyguards grabbed him, dragging him forcefully out of the room.
The storage room was left with only Atlas, lying in a pool of blood. Orson lowered his head to inspect the wound, his expression shifting. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“Odalys, you were right. Atlas has indeed met with bloodshed. His chest was torn open, and it doesn’t look like it was done with a weapon, more like 1 it was done by hand.”
“The wound isn’t too deep, but there are two small puncture marks, about the size of fingers. It looks like someone jabbed their fingers into him,” Orson continued.
He had never seen anything like this before. If he hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, he wouldn’t have believed it.
“It seems Sophia succeeded.” Odalys‘ voice was cold with amusement.
Orson furrowed his brow even deeper. “I’ll bring him upstairs for you to examine.”
With that, he lifted Atlas’s limp body, hoisting him onto his shoulders, and carried him up to Dangelo’s VIP room. Harvey and Percival had just finished their discussion when they noticed Orson’s arrival.
They all turned to look as he dumped Atlas onto the sofa.
“Something really happened?” Sienna exclaimed in surprise.
When Odalys returned earlier, she had told Orson that Atlas was destined for bloodshed and that something would happen to him in the hospital. Orson had rushed out, and sure enough, he found him in the storage room.
“This wound…” Harvey stepped forward, inspecting Atlas’s chest, which had been torn open. There were two small holes, and the sight baffled him.
“It looks like it was done with someone’s fingertips, or at least the tips of their fingers. The depth suggests it pierced through to the internal organs, like someone was trying to take heart blood,” Percival said thoughtfully.
He couldn’t say for certain, but this was his assessment based on what he had seen.
“Heart blood? Didn’t Sophia try to take Henry’s heart blood in the hospital before?” Orson snapped his fingers, recalling a recent event.
At the time, he, Odalys, and Freya had been outside and had witnessed the entire scene.
“So this injury was done by Sophia? How could a woman do something like this?” Dangelo was in shock.
Even for a man, tearing someone open like that was unimaginable.
“Strange things happen in this world. It’s possible. This proves something,” Odalys said, sweeping her gaze across Atlas’s body before placing her hand over the wound.
Everyone held their breath, then noticed something strange. A mist began to form in the room.
As they focused, a surreal scene unfolded in the mist. They saw Sophia struggling, then climbing onto Atlas, covering his eyes to knock him out.
She ripped open his T–shirt and pressed her fingers into his chest, tearing it open. After a moment, she pulled her hand back, her body seemingly transformed–radiant and full of energy.
Odalys waved her hand, and the mist vanished.
“Wait… her face… it changed. The wound on her face disappeared when she touched Atlas’s chest, and she looks even more beautiful now.” Sienna cried out in shock, then quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had spoken too much.

Had she not seen it, she never would’ve believed such a thing was possible.
“She needs the Bennett family’s heart blood. Plus, she already has Love Spell. With the heart blood of the Bennett family, she can quickly fix her fortune and wash away her bad luck,” Odalys said coldly.
“Harvey shuddered as he remembered his daughter being cursed by Sophia using Love Spell, causing her to spiral into madness.
The memory was horrifying, and even though he was a man, he still felt a chill run down his spine.
“Why does it have to be the Bennett family’s heart blood?” Orson asked instinctively. “Is their heart blood special?”
“Because the Bennett family has affection for her. Over the years, they have unconditionally indulged her, so their blood naturally merges with hers. Add the power of Love Spell, and it accelerates the fusion of the two, amplifying the effect.”
“If it were anyone else’s blood, it would have no effect. But for her, it needs to be someone who’s loved her. Any kind of love will do.”
The best case is, of course, the blood of an unmarried man,” Odalys explained.
Percival stood silently, deep in thought. After a long pause, he spoke up.
“But earlier, she didn’t have any Love Spell on her, and she wasn’t holding a talisman. How did she manage to merge the heart blood with Love Spell?”
The others nodded in agreement.
“She is Love Spell herself. The way she looks now, that’s the effect of Love Spell. The power within her must have been awakened,” Odalys
continued.
“I felt a surge of energy in the hospital earlier. That must have triggered Sophia’s transformation. Now that she has Atlas’s heart blood, her luck has returned. She will surely try to cleanse her past humiliation.”
Although she said this with ease, there was no sign of fear or concern on her face.
“So, is she planning to kill someone?” Dangelo asked slowly.
If she intended to kill, then they would have to find a way to stop her, or many innocent lives might be at risk.
“She doesn’t need to kill. We live in a society governed by law. Killing would only harm her. She’s probably trying to return to the Bennett family, or meet with others from the family.”
“With the Bennett family’s negative energy so strong, she can’t leave the Bennett Villa. The old man from the mountain village is still there, and he’s with the Bennett family now, Odalys mused.
Orson, hearing this, excitedly snapped his fingers.
“So, we let her go back and let the dogs fight? Watch the show?” Orson rubbed his hands together, eager for the drama.
“As long as there’s a show to watch, I don’t care about the rest,” he added.
“Yes, we’ll have someone send Atlas back to the Bennett Villa and stir up some trouble for the Bennett family. Force them to return to the Bennett Villa, Odalys said.
Percival immediately grabbed his phone. “I’ll handle it.”
“Good” Odalys nodded.
Percival made a call and soon received a response. He shared the news with the group.
“Henry’s apartment had a water and electrical leak. He and Edie nearly got electrocuted, so they had to move out. They tried to stay at a hotel, but they were turned away. Meanwhile, Caspian’s new house was rammed by a truck, completely destroying the place. It was condemned because it was an illegal building.”
“In the end, they had no choice but to move back to the Bennett Villa.”
