Chapter 285
“Odalys, where are we going” Are we staying at a hotel Freya asked, her steps quick as she kept close to Odalys, worried she might be left behind.
“How about we say at the Stewart Villa? Or we could go to the apartment with Francis and them?” Odalys suggested.
Freya immediately shook her head when she heard the Stewart Villa. “I Edie keeps hounding me, going back to the Stewart Villa will make her go
crazy
“She already doesn’t want me involved with the Stewart family, so I think it’s better to go to Francis place
“Does Francis‘ apartment have any empty rooms? Freya asked curiously.
The apartment was rented by Odalys, and Freya had never been there before.
“It does,” Odalys replied. She had always been generous, so she didn’t mind spending a little more on things like this.
After heading downstairs, the two of them drove toward Francis and Selah’s place, which was a high–security apartment complex with a relatively low occupancy rate.
“Huh, how did you get into this place! I’ve never seen any advertisements for it, Freya said, her eyes lighting up as she looked at the apartment building.
Odalys smiled but didn’t answer. They stepped into the elevator, and after reaching the 19th floor, Odalys punched in the passcode to enter.
The door opened with a soft click, and Selah, wearing a face mask, was sitting on the sofa. Francis was also lounging, both of them looking over a script. Hearing the door open, they jumped up in surprise.
“Who’s that?” Selah asked, instinctively grabbing a nearby fruit knife. When she saw Freya and Odalys walk in with their bags, she quickly lowered the knife.
“Odalys, what are you doing here?” Selah ran over, excited to see her.
Odalys looked at Selah and Francis, who were holding scripts and reading them. She was a little surprised and said, “I brought Freya over to stay a couple of days. I thought you two were asleep, so I didn’t message you. But you’re still up?”
Francis set down the script and walked over.
“We were doing a table read. We’ve been discussing it and are almost finished, Francis explained.
The script was getting more interesting the more they read, no wonder it was a contender for awards.
“Alright, which room is still available?” Odalys asked.
The apartment had four bedrooms, each bedroom with its own bathroom.
“The two rooms in the front are both empty.” Selah quickly said as she ran to open th
the doors.

ent is really nice”
Freya turned around, scanning the apartment. It was even bigger than her own fat. She let out a soft sigh and said, “This apart
“I think so too. It’s rare to find a four–bedroom with its own bathrooms, and the kitchen’s well–placed. You get a great view of the square” Selah added.
Freya took one last look around and walked into one of the rooms. After making the bed, she sat down in the room, feeling an unfamiliar sense of energy.
“Odalys, how about I just stay here with them? It’s more lively with more people, and if anything happens, it’ll be nice to have someone around,” Freya said. She didn’t really need private space.
“If you’re okay with it, sure. It’s not like the room’s being used anyway,” Odalys replied.
Freya immediately went to work, making the bed and hanging her clothes in the wardrobe.
Selah watched them move in for the night, curious button polite to ask too many questions.
“She’s having some issues with her house. We were supposed to stay there tonight but couldn’t, so we moved in here last minute,” Odalys explained. Selah was stunned. Even Francis, upon hearing the news, quickly walked over

“Her house has problems? Is it haunted“” Francis asked with excitement

“It’s not that dramatic,” Odalys replied. “The house was previously owned by someone else before it was sold to her. That person has fixated on her and wants to drain her luck.”
“This is why, even though she’s gotten a bit famous in the past two years, her opportunities keep getting snatched away. The last disaster and the love misfortune both came from this situation,” Odalys explained briefly, though she didn’t mention Edie.
When it came to the Stewart family, the less people knew, the better
“That’s awful. Can we find out who did it If we know who it is, we can keep an eye out for them. Selah said, her eyes wide with concern.
Francis glanced at his phone, surprised. He handed it over to Freys, saying, “Freya’s manager just died in a car accident. It’s already trending on the
hot search”
“What‘ No way!” Selah was startled. Although they didn’t know Freya’s manager personally, being close to Freya meant they paid attention to such thing.
“Freya, do you want to go to the hospital?” Selah asked, taking a deep breath.
After packing up her clothes, Freya sat heavily on the bed. When she heard about her manager’s accident, she felt a momentary sadness,
But then she remembered the doll in her wardrobe with her birthdate written on it, clearly an attempt to harm her. Such a person didn’t really deserve her emotional investment.
Freya had had a good relationship with her manager before, but now, to find our she was actually Edie’s person…

“Let the company handle it,” Freya said, making a firm decision.
Selah hesitated, her lips twitching as she spoke, “But she was your manager. If you don’t take action, won’t people think you’re cold–hearted?”
Freya finally spoke up, her voice quiet but firm. “She put a doll with my birthdate in my wardrobe. 1 just found it while packing.”
Her words hung in the air, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
Selah blinked, stunned, her mind slow to process the information.
“She put that in your room! Why?” Selah asked, dumbfounded.
Francis, who had been listening, seemed deep in thought. “The entertainment industry is chaotic. Your manager doesn’t always have your back. My manager has always wanted to harm me.
“Not only does she want to hurt me, but she also tried to set me up with someone else, so they could become my girlfriend. Then, behind my back, she’d terminate my contract and even try to harvest my organs.”
“Not all managers are good people. If she’s done this, then Freya’s decision not to Francis said, his voice filled with empathy.
makes perfect sense. If it were me, I wouldn’t go either.”
Selah nodded, her expression sympathetic. “You’re right. If it were me, Id feel scared too. Even if I went to the hospital, I wouldn’t know what kind of trouble I’d antract”
It was already past 1.AM.
1.AM, and the mention of this issue had left everyone restless and unable to sleep.
“Are you hungry? How about a late–night snack? Looks like none of us are going to sleep right away? Francis suggested, glancing at the group.
Selah patted her stomach. She hadn’t had much to eat all day, too focused on reading the script.
“Sounds good” Selah said, giving an OK gesture.
Freya got up and started heading out. “How about some barbecue?”
Im good with anything. Odalys replied.
Francis quickly pulled out his phone and undered some barbecue. Forty minutes later, the delivery arrived. They set the food on the coffee table. and Selah walked to the fridge to grab some beers, bringing them over.
“Let’s have a drink,” she said, handing everyone a can

Chapter 285
Each of them grabbed a can and began to drink, enjoying the barbecue.
“So, how’s the script going? Any characters you like? Odalys asked.
Freya leaned over to peek at the script. Selah pointed at it and said. “Every character is pretty good. Also, I think the lead female role would be perfect for you, Freya. If only Stellan could play the male lead, it would be even better.”
