The phone rang, and before Stellan could say anything, his mother’s voice came through, cheerful yet strangely calm. “Son, your father just told me everything. Don’t worry, I’ve already got a peace talismun for us.”
“He good and wait for us to get home.” She said, and quickly hung up
A heavy silence settled in the car
Stellan closed his eyes in pain, muttering to himself, “Odalys… Could it really be true! Some calamities are unavoidable, no matter how hard we
When we land, you need to fly straight back. And remember the talisman I gave you” Culalys whispered, her voice low but clear.
Stellan immediately dug through his backpack, found the talisman hidden at the bottom, and held in rightly. “Got it. I know what I need to do.”

[Odalys showed Stellan and Francis the Star reailings yesterday, but they were talking too softly for us to hear. Did she predict something about Dangelo?]
[I can’t breathe. Is he going to make it?]
The fans and netizens felt their hearts race. Just when they were still processing the live broadcast from the police, now something was happening
with Stellan
Everyone was on edge.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine” Selah tried to comfort him.
Freya opened her mouth to speak, but found that no words could ease the tension.
She glanced at Stellan, who was trying to act brave but looked pale and sweat–drenched, his hand trembling in his lap. Tll be okay,” he said, forcing a smic, though his voice was shaky.
Though he said he was fine, the cold sweat on his palms told a different story,

It was still during the live broadcast, and there were things Francis couldn’t say. Plus, he knew his girlfriend was probably watching, so he had to
keep his composure.
“Sorry, Francis is driving right now and can’t take your call is there something I can pass on to him?” Stellan said, glancing at Francis.
Despite the air conditioning running. Francis’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat
“Okay, I understand.” Stellan replied, finally ending the call after hearing the other side’s words.
Stellan held the phone for a few seconds, then spoke in a lowered voice. “She said she’s at the airport. When you meet, you two will fly back together, and after landing, you’ll go straight to a restaurant.”
Francis frowned, feeling a tight knot in his sonuch
If this were any other time, he might have thought she was trying to publicly declare their relationships
But now, after distancing himself, it felt less like love and more like an attempt to trap him
“Understood, he murmured, staring blankly ahead. The road ahead seemed to blur.
Last night, he had thought long and hard and realized their relationship could no longer continue. He valued his life too much to let himself be caught in this mess.
Before they left, he had sent a message to someone, asking them to investigate the situation. He was sure the answers would come soon
“Pull over. I’ll drave,” Odalys suddenly announced.
Francis slammed on the brakes.
Odalys opened the door and swiftly moved to the driver’s seat. As they passed by each other, she grabbed Francis’s arm and whispered. “We’re not going to the airport anymore.”
“We’ll change the location. I’ve already arranged for another car to take us to the international airport for a direct flight, Odalys said quietly. She had just texted Percival, and he replied that everything was taken care of
Francis blinked in surprise. “But summer break is starting, and there are very few flights to Crownridge. Are you sure you can get us tickets?”
He had already checked and found there were no tickets left, not even high–speed trains directly to Crownridge. The earliest tickets were ava

in a week.
He panicked when he heard Odalys mention the airport
The airport was inevitable–if they were leaving, they’d have to fly. She must have already figured out everything, including which flights, to ensure he couldn’t escape.
“Don’t worry, I can get us on a flight, Odalys replied, her tone calm.
She slid into the driver’s seat, buckled her seatbelt, and turned to Selah and Freya, flashing a playful grin. “You’re not getting car sick, right?”
“What do you mean?” Selah asked, her excitement growing,
Odalys Happed her finge
fingers, “We’re taking the mountain roads at full speed”
“Bring it on. I’ve got my seatbelt on Freya said, gripping the armrest with a fearless look in her eyes.
With a grin. Odalys floored the gas pedal. As they approached an intersection, she sharply turned the wheel, veering off onto a side road, leaving Group As car trailing behind.
“Wait, shar’s taking the wrong road, Atlas muttered, gripping the steering wheel.
They had been on the main route to the airport, but now Group I was taking an unexpected shortcut.
Torget it. They’re probably trying to lose us Speed up! Let’s get to the airport first, Sophia urged, her voice full of excitement.
She guessed that Odalys was trying to steal the spotlight.
The variety show was treading, and anyone who showed up at the airport would surely be interviewed by the media.
The first ones there would attract the most attention. Odalys and her team must be trying to ditch Group A and claim the spotlight for themselves.
