Chapter 36
Atlas couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at Sophia, who was crying. He was so frustrated that he took a few steps back. “Fine, if you’re not leaving, then I will,” he said coldly.
In the face of life and death, all the affection in the world meant nothing. Even if one had to fight for attention or stir up hatred, the priority was survival.
Without life, there was no need for anything else. Atlas couldn’t ruderstand what Sophia was thinking.
“Atlas, are you really going to leave me behind?” Sophia asked in despair, looking at him.
Atlas turned resolutely, not looking back as he walked away. The water had already reached his waist, and he struggled
forward.
His foot caught on something, and Ailas fell forward, being swept away by a wave and thrown onto a nearby patch of grass.
“Odalys, help me! Atlas screamed out. It was only then that he felt a sense of fear. He kept shouting, but the only sound was the howling wind and rain.
At that moment, images of Odalys kept flashing in Atlas‘ mind. He remembered the time Odalys was running errands on set. That night, there was a typhoon, and Atlas was rushing back to the set. The car was struck by debris, and he injured his leg.
Atlas made a call, and Odalys rushed through the typhoon to drag him out of the car, even carrying him several miles to get hun to a clinic.
The doctor had said that if Atlas had arrived any later, his leg would have been ruined. Therefore, Atlas had a high fever for three days and nearly died.
Thinking about it, Adas shuddered and turned toward Group B, hoping to see Odalys‘ figure once more. Unfortunately, she didn’t come.
“Odalys. I’m going to die. If you don’t come now, I’m really going to die, Atlas whispered, his voice full of desperation.
At that time, Atlas‘ heart was filled with regret. He thought, If only I had been in the same group as Odalys, then she wouldn’t have ignored me like this. She wouldn’t have been standing there so pretentiously, refusing to leave when something happened.
[What’s Sophia even doing? If she wants to die, fine, but don’t drag Atlas down with her. Atlas, hurry up and this drama queen.]
[Good thing Atlas is smart and just walked away!]
[That damn Sophia, throwing a snake in front of Finnian. If he got bitten, his face would be ruined!]
get away from
[Sophia has no brain! Stupid! The seawater is flooding, and she’s still not running? Does she really think Odalys is going to come save her? Who does she think she is?]
Immediately, those who had been half–asleep online were fully awake and began typing in anger, attacking Sophia. News about her trended again quickly.

Meanwhile, Sophia stood there, feeling wronged, looking around at the pitch–black surroundings. Her flashlight had run out of power, and she tried to find her way out frantically, only to find the area empty.
Sophia sobbed quietly. “Why did you all leave me? What do you gain by letting me die? Are you all trying to hurt me?
Everyone says Odalys is good. What’s so great about her? Why does everyone run to her? What makes her so special?”

soon as Sophia finished speaking, a wave crashed towards he “Ah she exclaimed, swept away by the wave. Her face turned pale, and her body was thrown into the air as if tossed to the clouds.
Finally, solled her eyes and lost consciousTIONS.
Oh no, did she really die?
[Answering the person above: Normally, she probably didn’t survive.]

They always say you won’t die if you don’t provoke fate, but she just kept pushing it. Everyone else stayed safe, and only she got into trouble. She’s probably bad luck.)
[From now on. I’m telling Finnian to stay far away from her! A woman like this with emotional instability is way too dangerous. Luckily, Finnian ran fast.]
[What now? Does Sophia really get swept into the sea? Oh my Gol, she’s risking her life for a variety show.]
Everyone was shock, their attention fixed on the screen, too afraid to even type anymore. Even Sophia’s fans fell silent!
Some couldn’t understand why Sophia was still blaming Odalys when the wind, rain, and waves were all natural phenomena. What did Odalys have to do with it?
In the Crownridge, at the Bennett residence, a phone call broke the quiet of the house.
“Mom, something’s happened, Henry said, rushing to Hannah’s bedroom.
Hannah looked confused as she stared at the phone screen Henry handed her and asked, “What happened? Does Odalys cause trouble again!”
“It’s the wind and water flooding, and Sophia got swept away by the waves, Henry replied hoarsely. If it weren’t for the assistant’s call, he wouldn’t have realized the storm had caused this.
“Sophia was swept away? What about Atlas? How’s he doing? Didift we tell him to make sure Odalys took care of Sophia? How did this happen?” Hannah asked, her face dark.
Hannah never expected that Odalys, that wretched woman, would fail to care for her siblings properly.
“Atlas was swept away too, and his condition is unclear, but Sophia definitely got swept away. Right now, her survival is uncertain” Henry said with a grim tone. He never thought they’d face something like this on the first day of the show.
Hannah shouted, “That damn Odalys! She’s a total disaster for us Why did we bring her back? If it weren’t for her, neither Sophia nor Atlas would have been in danger..
“All this trouble because of Odalys. If it weren’t for the pressure from the Stewart family, we never would have brought her back. She’s cursed us; this return of hers is meant to kill us all
“I should have known, we should have gotten rid of her when we found her. If she had died, she wouldn’t have caused us all this trouble.”
As she watched Sophia’s pathetic image on the screen, Hannah fainted.
Seeing this, Henry rushed over to support Hannah and called for a doctor immediately.
“Henry, Sophia’s in trouble. Caspian entered the room. He had just heard what Hannah had said and, after a moment of hesitation, muttered, “But, wasn’t it us who brought Odalys back
That thought only lasted a second in his mind before Caspian pushed it aside quickly.

Chapter 36
On the island, late at night, strong winds and heavy rain swept in and seawater flooded the island, brushing against everything.
All the crew members took shelter in Group B’s cave. Luckily, the cave was large and not too cramped.
“The water’s coming!” someone screamed.
Finnian and Lucian rushed in, their faces grim as they looked at the cave entrance, where seawater was now rushing in. The two froze in place.
But when the water hit the entrance, something seemed to block it, and the surrounding water started to recede,
Everyone stared in disbelief, glancing at each other, thinking they were seeing things.
“It’s really holding back the water, Freya whispered, still in disbelief.
Earlier, Odalys had mentioned it, but Freya hadn’t taken it seriously. Now, seeing the water stop, she exchanged a look with Selah. And Stellan also glanced over.
Stellan’s fingertips pressed against the side of the suitcase as he looked up at the profile of Odalys. He saw her observing the situation outside calmly, her emotions stable and unflustered.
