Chapter 140
“The atmosphere in the room suddenly went quiet. Everyone loved good gossip, and it was clear from Sophia’s flustered expression that she had a
lot to hide.
“Meanwhile, Odalys stood calmly, radiating confidence. At that moment, it was obvious who was lying, and no further explanation was needed.
I haven’t said anything yet. Why are you in such a rush?” Odalys sneered.
“Sophia grined her teeth, glaring at Odalys, her fury practically burning through her eyes. She wanted nothing more than to kill Odalys.
“Once I get back, I’ll have my brothers deal
with Ord
Odalys, I won’t let her get away with this, Sophia thought, her mind racing with revenge.
“Did you all see that! Sophia is guilty! She’s done too many shady things, and trapping people is second nature for her. As for what she did to me tonight, should I sue her!“” Odalys turned her head and addressed the camera
Ah, Odalys is looking at the camera. Quick, look at me!]
To cool! Odalys just shut Sophia down with a few words. Go ahead, and punish her!]
TWow, Sophia’s guilty? Looks like Odalys has some dirt on her.
“I’m curious. What did Sophia do when Odalys returned seven months ago? Someone, get the scoop, fast! I need all the gossip!]
“The viewers in the livestream got excited instantly.
“The gossip–filled atmosphere was enough to keep everyone on the edge of their seats. They stared at the screen, eyes wide as they saw that Sophia’s wrist was still in Rafael’s grip, their bodies nearly pressed against each other.
I give you all a linle hint. How about that?” Odalys
ys said with a smile.
“The cameraman, clearly excited, moved the camera in closer, making it easier to receive Odalys voice,
***For example, one tune, in the women’s restroom on set… and stormed toward her in a fit of rage.
Odalys started, but before she could finish, Sophia yanked her arm out of Rafael’s hold

“Odalys, you bitch, shut your mouth?” Sophia shouted, furious.
“Odalys swiftly turned and slapped Sophia across the face.
“Sophia was stunned by the slap, unable to believe what had just happened. She turned her head slowly, the sting on her face making it hard for her to process. She looked up at Odalys in shock
***You slapped me? How dare you slap me?” Sophia’s voice trembled
Having been pampered by the Bennett family for so long, no one had ever d
ever dared speak to Sophia so harshly, let alone hit her.
“But ever since Odalys joined the variety show, she had been constantly tormenting Sophia, trying to ruin her reputation. Sophia couldn’t take this humiliation
“Odalys spoke coldly “Why shouldn’t I slap you! You’ve been trying to trap me for no reason. You’ve been spreading lies about me. Why can’t I hit you? With so many people here as witnesses, even if I slap you, it’s on you.”
“To Odalys, entering the entertainment industry wasn’t a must, so her public image and reputation didn’t matter much to her. All she cared about was her own satisfaction. Anything else, she simply didn’t care.
“You” Sophia’s eyes met Odalys‘ cold ones, and instinctively, she took a half–step back
sophia thought back to the scene earlier that afternoon when Odalys grabbed her by the throat, and a wave of panic washed over her.
Sophy knew Odalys was insane. When she went crazy, she didn’t care about anything.
“Odalys, what are you planning to do?” At that moment, Atlas charged forward
“Group A had noticed the noise and realized Sophia was missing. They rushed over to this area, and as they arrived at the courtyard, they immediately sensed something was wrong. They all knew Rafael lived here.
“They hadn’t expected to walk in on a confrontation between Odalys and Sophia. They were even more shocked to see Odalys slap Sophia and verbally attack hier afterward.
“Atlas anger Wared, and he rushed forward, standing in front of Sophia. He glared at Odalys, his voice dripping with fury. “Isn’t this enough of a scene for you?
“You’ve become just like a shew, hitting people whenever you feel like it. You went after Group A this afternoon and even hurt Finnian’s hand.”
Have we ever said anything bad about your Look at you, taking advantage of us not being around, ganging up on Sophia! guilty!TM Atlas was absolutely furious.

“Sering Sophia getting bullied had Atlas worried beyond belief. All the coldness he had felt toward Sophia earlier completely vanished.
“Odalys spoke coldly. “When I hit you guys you didn’t say a word. fint that because you feel guilty! You’ve done bad things, and now you don’t
cant me to say anything. Atlax do you really think you’re that impressive2
This time, you and Sophia have been messing with me over and over, trying to get me alone so you could match the emerald pendant from me
“Atlas was stunned. He couldn’t believe Odalys knew about this
supposed to be a secret, just between the two of them. They had planned everything to provoke Odalys, get her to go out alone, and then
they would make their move.
“You What nonsense are you talking about?” Atlas was shaken, his voice unsteady
“Odalys stood before him, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips. She leaned in slightly and said softly, “Looks like I guessed wrong. Since you don’t want it, then…”
“She pulled out the emerald pendant and, with a swift motion, tossed it in the air,
“Odalys, are you insane! Give it back to me!” Arlas panic was clear. He lunged forward, but Stellan stepped in and grabbed him, holding him back from getting any closer to Odalys
“The emerald pendant dangled in Odalys‘ hand, swaying back and forth as she toyed with it between her fingers. “Yes or no? If you say no, then I’ll just destroy it.”
“Atlas stood still, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Henry and Hannah had warned him that without the emerald pendant, Hannah might die, and the Bennett family would fall apan. This pendant was the key to the family’s survival
“Atlas clenched his fut, has throat dry as he struggled to control his emotion. “Give me the emerald pendant.” He forced the words out, his hand shaking as he reached for it
“Odalys glanced at him with a cold smile. “You’re just going to reach out and take my stuff like that! Seems like the Bennett family really has no
“You think you can just trap for for no reason, and now you want to take Odalys did the emerald pendant back into her pocket and turned to leave.
e my thing, without so much as a please? How convenient,” she mocked.

“Atlas watched helplessly as the pendant swayed in front of him for a few seconds before it disappeared into her pocket.
“He struggled to move forward, grinding his teeth, his voice full of frustration. “What do I have to do for you to give it back to me?“”
“Odalys turned her head slightly, meeting his gaze with a penetrating look.
—
“Give it back!” she repeated coldly “This emerald pendant was a gift from my master, The Bennett family wants to take what’s already mine. Do you know that people would pay millions of dollars for this?
“But here you are, trying to snatch it away from me. You guys really think you can just take whatever you
want from me?
“Atlas felt his discomfort growing. His fists were clenched tightly, clenched in silent frustration as he looked at Odalys
***We’re all family here. Why do you have to be so cold and distant?” he snapped.
Odalys raised an eyebrow, pointing at herself and then at him. “Family! My last name is Stone, yours is Bennett. How could we ever be family?”
