Chapter 193
In
an instant, everyone turned their attention to the Oluward City Police Department.
The anticipation for the upcoming livestream the next day grew palpable as everyone waited to hear more about Obaly claims,
As for the Bennett family, they were oblivious to the storm that was brewing
They will thought they could use Odalys—since her contract was about to expire–to force her into renewing it. They even had plans to manipulate her into helping them by linking her to the Stewart family.
What they didn’t realize was that all these plans had been completely shut down by Odalys herself.
After finishing everything, Odalys glanced at Atlas and Sophia, whose faces had become noticeably uncomfortable. Raising an eyebrow, she asked with a playful smirk. I just revealed my past–why do you both look so uncomfortable? Could it be that you were planning to use my background against me, causing trouble on the side?”
Atlas felt heartached. He was deeply troubled.
He had heard Henry mention that if Odalys was noticed by the Stewart family, the Bennen family might try to use her connection to the Stewart family for their own benefit. Now, he realized that any chance of the Bennett family reconciling with her had been utterly destroyed.
He couldn’t bear to think about it anymore–he could almost feel the future of the Bennett family slipping away.
“Atlas. I’m in pain… she murmured, holding onto Atlas as she leaned against him, trying to hide the hatred in her eyes.
Atlas helped her back to their residence. Once he had settled her down to lie on the bed, he didn’t say a word. He turned and walked away, giving Sophia no opportunity to speak.
“Odalys, you bitch. You’ve ruined everything for me,” Sophia muttered, clenching her fists,
She hadn’t expected Freya to foil her plans, but now, Odalys had taken everything from her. How could she accept this? But for now, there was nothing she could do.
She tried to comfort herself, thinking “Once tomorrow comes, things will be better. With Henry’s help, we can use the contract issue to get rid of Odalys once and for all.”
Meanwhile, Freya ran up to Odalys, throwing her arms around her
“Odalys, you’ll always have me. From now on, my family is your family. You saved me, and you’ve been so good to me. If the Bennett family tries anything. I’ll stand by you, no matter what.” Freya whispered, burying her face in Odalys chest, her heart finding comfort in the steady beat of her
“Thank you” Odalys smiled, touched by Freya’s words.
Stella and Selah approached, followed closely by Francis.
Your contract ends tomorrow? Stellan asked first.
Odalys nodded, her voice low. “Yes, it ends tomorrow, and I’m not
not renewing it. After tomorrow, the Bennett Group and I will have no further ties.
Just as the said that Adas emerged from the room.
Hearing her words, he fell a deep uncase. Was she really so eager to sever ties with the Bennett family?
But they were her relatives, her flesh and blood–why was she so desperate to cut them off?
These were her family, yet Odalys seemed to have no regard for them at all.
Meanwhile, Finnian stood there, stunned. He couldn’t take his eyes off Odalys. He had once considered approaching her, like Francis had, but now he realized he no longer had the right to
Listening to her just now, he felt sick at the memories of how close he had been to Sophia, and how they had both tried to suppress and undermine Odalys
He was horrified by his past actions and found it impossible to face them

In the entertainment industry, contracts were the most terrifying things.
Many artists found their contracts extended indefinitely, trapped by companies who used all kinds of methods to keep them in line, including blackmail or even forced agreements.
The victims were often too afraid to speak out.
Odalys was the first artist in the entertainment industry to be so upfront and resolute.
“I know, but it’s still important to clarity, Odalys murmured. “We don’t want the public to be misled by misinformation.”
she had already anticipated this moment from the very start, when she agreed to join the variety show. Everything was going according to her plan
“Well then, how about we make some delicious food and celebrate?” Freya suggested eagerly. “After all, once we go back tomorrow, who knows when we’ll all be able to meet again.”
“I think that’s a great idea! Selah quickly agreed.
Odalys looked at Selah with an inscrutable gaze. “What about you! Since your contract with the company ends after this show, are you not
renewing either!”
Selah had not expected Odalys to turn the conversation to her own contract.
“Yes, I promised that I’d end it after this variety show. I have to pay a penalty for breaching the contract, but I’m not renewing it. Everything is already settled, I’ve signed the papers, Selah quickly explained
Odalys listened, then pulled Selah closer, asking. “Did you bring the signed contract with you?”
“I didn’t bring it, but I took photos of it,” Selah replied.
Odalys told her to open her phone and show the photos to the camera, just like she had done with her this moment with the viewers.

She had always loved acting, but the company had no plans for her other than to be a supporting role. She wasn’t satisfied with that. “Good. Then I salute your decision,” Odalys said with a smile.
The others immediately chimed in, agreeing that it was worth celebrating. food, with Selah joining them.
But Odalys stood there, watching Selah, her mind far away,
The atmosphere became more relaxed as everyone began to prepare
In her past life, on the day she died, she had seen the news of Selah’s death, Back then, she was already suffering from severe depression, and when she heard about how Selah died so tragically–reportedly being lured to a “dinner by the company, only to be locked in a room with a dozen men – crushed her.
Selah’s body was torn apart, covered in injuries, and she bled heavily. After the men left, she took her own life, hanging herself in the ro hotel cleaning staff found her when they came in to clean, and the scene was horrific.

Perhaps it was because of this shared fate that she felt a strange connection to Selah. In this new life, when she agreed to the arranged marriage, the trajectory seemed to change. Now, Selah was safe and not being tricked into that fatal dinner. Instead, they met on the variety show.
This was also why, during their time on the island. Odalys had done a reading for Selah, helping her get Lucian thrown in jail.

It seemed like everything had changed. Watching Selah join the groups, carrying food and heading out to gather ingredients, Odalys couldn’t help but smile. Things were different now.
“Wait for me! I’m coming too” Odalys called out as she hurried to catch up with Selah.
