“Even though Sophia liked to appear beautiful and showcase herself in front of the camera, she didn’t have to go this far.
**What do you mean by that?” Sophia’s expression changed, her face paling slightly.
“Sophia had expected that if she took the initiative to approach Odalys, she wouldn’t be met with such coldness. But she had miscalculated,

“Sophia’s heart skipped a beat, and her face drained of color. It felt as though Odalys could see straight through her, and it made Sophia even more
“How could Odalys know I sought the love talisman? Wait… trouble? Sophia’s heart began to race, her palms sweating.
“Are you joking! Why would I need a love talisman?” Sophia let out a cold laugh, her voice laced with a hint of nervousness.
“She tried to mask the awkwardness, but her inner panic was almost impossible to conceal
“Sophia remembered hearing Odalys‘ words, and they made her nervous for no clear reason,
“Back on the variety show, Sophia’s popularity wasn’t great, so she had secretly gone to find a love talisman. That was when she had acquired the Love Spell, to help display her personal charm.
“Sophia wanted men to fall deeply for her and give her their undivided attention, But unexpectedly, Odalys had destroyed her plans.
“Sophia hadn’t anticipated that Odalys would injure Finnian’s palin and ruin the Love Spell Sophia had paid a hefty price for. That spell was now completely wasted.
“Sophia stared at Odalys, wanting to say something more.

I’m going to lie down in my room for a bit. We can go out later this afternoon,” Odalys said, turning to head inside her room,
“Sophia rushed forward, trying to stop her. Freya imunediately stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

“Freya had never liked Sophia, and her dislike had only intensified.
“Sophia, stung by Freya’s words, hit her lip, forcing a strained smile as she said, “Why are you so defensive? Yes, we’re competitors, but you did
have to go this far”
as you don’t cause trouble or keep pestering us, we can all get along just fine.” Freya said with icy indifference
“Selah stepped forward, grabbing Freya’s arm and whispering, “Freya. Odalys just gave me a divination. L
“Selah lowered her voice as she spoke, walking backward toward the room. With a loud bang, the door slammed shut

“Feeling awkward. Selah turned to leave but froze when she noticed Stellan standing with his arms crossed, staring at her coldly
“Sorry. I think they must’ve misunderstood me, so they’re acting so hostile toward me. Sophia approached Stellan, hoping to engage him in
ver all. Soellan was different from the others. He had a powerful background.
“Mi. Bennett, why do you feel the need to explain to me! 1 think we’re not at a level where you should feel obligated to tell me all this,” Stellan replied dismissively
eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Stellan in disbelief, but all she saw in his gaze was cold indifference.
“In the past, many rich young men had punued Sophia, but now, she was being shunned and couldn’t even get a meal. It was beyond humihat
“Sorry to bothers you” Sophia forced a biter smile. She turned to walk toward the next room, ready to retreat and rest.

1ying on her bed, Sophia could seem to fall asleep. She felt lightheaded from hanger, as though she might faint.
“She quickly got up, grabbed the bag of crackers she had stashed in her purse and began eating. After a few bites of crackers and a half–glass of
water, she felt a bit better

What am I supposed to do?” Sophia muttered softly to herself.
Her current situation was extremely unfavorable, and she couldn’t figure out how to turn things around. For a moment, she regretted her impulsive
decision carber that mortING
“Why have I gone and picked up the snake egg She thought about it, and a dark, malicious look crossed her face.
“What if it dies” she whispered, a wicked thought forming in her mind.
“Sophia remembered how Odalys had used the snake repellent spray when she went to the deserted island. The village was surrounded by mountains, and the villagers must have snake repellent spray too. She thought of Rafarl
“If Rafael has some, he would probably give it to me. right? The thought made Sophia’s mood improve. She lay back on the bed and soon drifted od to sleep
Just as she was falling asleep, she heard a faint sound. A chill wind blew past her, and she suddenly felt a cold shiver down her spine. She quickly turned her head and saw a giant python outside the window.
it must be a hallucination.” Sophia whispered to herself, shaking her head in disbelief,
“But still she cautiously approached the window. She reached out to open it, but just then, there was a loud crash, and the glass shattered all over the door

“Started Sophia quickly stepped back. Several shards of glass flew toward her, cutting her arm. The giant python wa peering in. locking eyes with her.
“Ah, what do you want! Don’t come closer, please! I already gave you back the snake eggs. Why are you still after me?” Sophia screamed in terror. “But the giant python paid her no mind. It slithered through the broken window and charged at her, knocking her back hard against the wall.
“Pain shot through her body as the fell, and the giant python slowly slithered toward her. It exhaled a hot breath directly onto her face.
“What do you
want from me?” Sophia cried out, her voice trembling with fear
“She tugged at the hem of her dress, but the python’s breath caused the fabric to flutter up, sending a cold wave over her. She saw it lunge at her and her eyes widened in horror.
“Ah pervert, no!” Sophia screamed in terror.
“She desperately tried to pull her skirt down, but felt a sharp pain. She cried out in pain and sat up in bed, only to realize the familiar room was now empty. Aside from her heavy breathing, there was no other sound.

I must have been dreaming.” Sophia muttered bitterly to herself, a dry laugh escaping her lips.
She shifted slightly, leaning against the headboard, and glanced at the window. It felt cold, and the dream still lingered in her mind, vivid and
unsettling
“The panic from the dream had left her restless, and when she touched the bedspread, she realized it was slightly damp
“How did this happen? Did the snake crush me in my dream, and that’s why my bones got dislocated, causing me to wet the bed?” Sophia whispered to herself.
“The thought startled her. She had felt something strange when she was in the woods earlier, and now, the sheets were damp in a small spot.
“Sophia quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped it, but the more she thought about it, the worse she felt.
Just then, a knock came from the door. Sophia jumped, startled.
“Who is it?” she asked, irritation rising in her chest. She hurried to the door and opened it to find Atlas standing outside, holding a portion of cereal, offering it to her.
