Chapter 501
Odalyse heard those words but didn’t look back. Some people weren’t worth turning back for, nor did they deserve sympathy.
“Let’s go! We need to find Freya” Odalyse kept eating as she jogged lightly toward the film set.
Percival followed behind her, carrying the food. Seeing her excitement about meeting Freya, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort in his heart.
“Does seeing her make you that happy?” Percival’s deep, magnetic voice carried a trace of jealousy.
“He had thought she was in a hurry to wrap up the “battle” earlier to avoid unnecessary trouble. It hadn’t crossed his mind that her rush was all for Freya
“While P
Percival didn’t see himself as stingy, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness.
He hoped Odalys would be this happy to see him as she was with Freya.
“Of course! She’s soft, fragrant, and beautiful. Who wouldn’t like that?” Odalyse replied with a playful smile.
Men would never u
understand the bond between girls.
“Percival looked at her, captivated by her bright smile.
The sunlight danced on her as if blessing her presence, accentuating her flawless profile. She seemed so full of life, nibbling on the sausage, her soft lips slightly parted.
Percival swallowed and quickly looked
away.
“What are you staring at? Hurry up!” Odalyse called out to him.
Norcing his reddened ears and his attempt to avoid her gaze, she giggled. She jogged back to him, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him forward.
Odalys vaguely heard the extras whispering amongst themselves.
The two of them shuttled through the crowd and quickly found the crew’s location.
“From afar, they saw Freya holding her phone, removing her coat as she walked toward a trailer.
“Freya.” Odalys strode forward.
Freya seemed troubled. Her gaze was glued to her phone screen, her emotions in turmoil. She hurried into the trailer, speaking to Selah. “Did you see the trending news?”
“No.” Selah was confused.
She had just sat down when she noticed something off about Freya: and leaned closer out of concern.
a scene together, entered the trailer. They sat in the air–conditioned space,
At the same time, Francis and Stellan, who had just finished filming a s reading their scripts, oblivious to their phones.
Hearing Freya’s exclamation, they quickly pulled out their devices.
“Didn’t Odalys do a livestream earlier today? She gave ten free readings. The first one was about that woman’s child. The woman’s brother–in–law cursed her child. The woman didn’t believe it at first but came back to the livestream to confirm it Freya said bitterly.
Selah was stunned. She said, “I know about that! Stellan and I were furious. That woman’s thinking was completely illogical”
Stellan nodded in agreement.
“A mother with a severely ill child would usually be desperate to try anything. But this woman instinctively defended her brother–in–law, claiming he couldn’t have harmed her child because he gave her money frequently,
*Later, she reluctantly followed Odalyse’s advice, only to discover her child did indeed start to recover. That was when she went with Odalyse.

“Check out the trending news now. Odalys ran into her just now. The woman brought her brother–in–law to corner Odalys and even tried to force her to have a child with him!” Freya said angrily.
The other three were stunned, thinking they had misheard. It was such an outrageous statement. That woman really bit the hand that fed her.
“No way! What kind of person does that?” Francis exclaimed, opening the trending news and clicking on the video.
These videos were all clipped by fans during the livestream, each only a minute long. But the conversations in them were so shocking they completely shocked everyone.
“Damn! Stellan and I were saying earlier that although she seemed pitiful, something felt off. She didn’t seem like the kind of mother who truly cared for her child. Turns out we were right, Selah said angrily.
“Her child was ill, and instead of reflecting on her actions, she’s blaming Odalys? And now she’s even trying to force Odalys to have a child with her brother–in–law, just because he has money? Selah stood up in outrage.
“Wait a minute. Doesn’t Odalys’s location in the video look like Film Capital Francis said, watching the clips closely.
“Look at that hot dog stand. Isn’t that the one by the entrance!” Stellan chimed in
“The group exchanged glances and immediately rushed toward the door. Just as they opened it, they saw Odalyse about to come in.
Freya was caught off guard. She couldn’t stop her momentum and tumbled out of the trailer, falling straight toward Odalyse.
Odalyse paused mid–step, instinctively reaching out to catch Freya
The force of the fall made her take a few steps back, but she managed to wrap her arms around Freya’s waist, steadying them both.
Freya found herself crashing into Odalyse’s arms, her face buried in Odalyse’s shoulder.
Their bodies pressed tightly together, and for a moment, Freya could hear the sound of her rapid heartbeat. Completely stunned, she stayed frozen in Odalyse’s embrace.
“Get up.” Percival’s icy voice cut through the air.
“Startled, Freya quickly pulled herself out of Odalyse’s arms. When she looked up, she was met with Percival’s cold gaze. She couldn’t help but shiver.
“Percival!” Freya shrank back, her shoulders trembling.
“She hurriedly hid behind Odalyse, clutching the hem of her shirt with a small, nervous tug.
Odalyse noticed her frightened demeanor and glanced at Percival with exasperation.
“You scared her, Odalys said helplessly.
“Percival kept quiet as he looked at the protective way she stood in front of Freya. His voice was low and slightly hoarse as he said, “She’s three years older than you. She doesn’t need you protecting her,”
Odalyse raised an eyebrow, surprised.
She studied Percival with some astonishment. It seemed like he sounded a little jealous.
“Thinking she might have misheard, she stared at him for a long moment.
you.
*Percival coughed lightly, clearing his throat. He finally spoke in a more serious tone. “She’s already 23. She should be more independent than yo Look at her, clumsy enough to fall off a trailer.”
“Falling is no big deal. But hiding behind you like this? What kind of behavior is that? Percival added in a scolding tone.
“Odalyse glanced back at Freya, and their eyes met. Both of them broke into knowing smiles and, without a word, turned and ran back into the trailer together.
Percival expected her to respond, but instead, she grabbed Freya and ran off. He stood frozen in place as he watched them disappear into the
trailer.
After Odalyse got back on the trailer, Freya seemed to remember something and quickly ran out again.
She hurried to Percival’s side and reached for the bag of smoothies and snacks he was holding
“Percival, you’re way too serious! Odalys definitely doesn’t like that, Freya said in a low voice, as if worried someone might overhear.
“She glanced around to make sure no one was nearby.
Then, leaning closer, she rose on tiptoes and whispered, “You’ve been married to her for this long. Don’t tell me you haven’t kissed her yet?”
“Percival’s ears turned bright red, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled to respond.
