Chapter 51
The internet exploded in an instant, with some even calling the insurance company to ask for information.
Sophia had no idea about any of this, but when she saw the cameraman following behind her, she felt a wave of desperation. rising within her. It’s over. Once this airs, even if they don’t have any solid evidence, my reputation will be ruined, she wondered.
Sophia glared at the insurance company employees, wishing she could just take them out right then and there.
“Did you make a false report? The officer stepped forward, looking at Sophia with a stern expression.
Atlas stepped up to stand in front of her, ready to speak, but then he saw the officer pull out handcuffs. Sophia instinctively stepped back, her voice trembling as she whispered, “It wasn’t me. It must have been someone who used my phone to make the call
“I wasn’t the one who called. I don’t know anything about any accident insurance.” Sophia immediately tried to distance herself from the situation
Seeing her reaction, Atlas gritted his teeth and whispered, The deceased was a background worker from my company, the Bennett Group. The Bennett Group has always provided insurance for its employees. I was the one who made the call”
Sophia’s eyes filled with tears as she lowered her head. The officer gave a cold smirk, handing over a video clip. This is footage from the live stream. The person who made the call was her. What’s the matter? Are you trying to fool the police
too?
Sophia froze, staring at the screen. She saw herself making the call, the footage clearly broadcast. Her body trembled slightly.
“At the time, the cameraman wasn’t with me, and the live stream wasn’t even on. How could it have aired?” Sophia was on the edge of a breakdown.
She had thought that if the cameraman wasn’t around, no one would know. What she didn’t realize was that the entire island was covered with hidden cameras, and everything had been broadcast. Sophia’s image had already crumbled, and her public
persona was gone.
“What are you all standing around for? Why aren’t you going down” Odalys‘ voice rang out, sounding confused.
Sophia felt a chill run through her. She couldn’t believe it. When she turned around, she saw Odalys approaching, dressed in high–waisted black pants and a white shirt, walking casually toward her.
Sophia staggered backward in shock, unable to believe her eyes. “Y–you… I thought you were dead?”
“Did you want me dead? Odalys asked, her tone a mix of amusement and mockery, “You bought me a hefty accident insurance policy? But I haven’t heard that the Bennett Group buys such insurance for employees.
“And I’ve never heard of this policy either. Ms. Bennett, are you in such a hurry to make an insurance claim because you invited me to the beach last night and tried to push me into the water?” Odalys asked with arsly smile.
Sophia recoiled in horror, stumbling backward. She turned to flee but was stopped by the police. “Please come with us to the station to give your statements. Thank you.” The officer politely, but firmly, ushered everyone into the car.
After they gave their statements at the police station, Lucian was immediately detained. The footage from the night before, clearly showing Lucian sprinkling powder on Sophia at the beach and then shoving her into the water, had been captured and broadcast.
Lucian stood there stunned, unable to comprehend. “How could they be streaming at that time? No, officer, this has nothing. to do with me. He was panicking, his words spilling out in a rush when he saw Selah walking over.

She began. “Officer, Lucian was the one who contacted me. He used his influence to pressure me into getting Odalys to meet up with him. He was planning to take advantage of her. I did set up the meeting
“But when I realized something wasn’t right, I got worried abour Odalys. I stopped her halfway.” Selah said, her voice quivering as her eyes reddened. It had almost been too late. Selah had nearly caused Odalys‘ death.
The cameraman, excited by the developments, continued to follow behind, granted permission to keep the live stream going at the police station. The viewership was off the charts,
Now, every trending topic was about the events from the variety show. Though it had only been live–streamed for two days, it had already become the king of variety shows.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Lucian snapped, his voice rising in frustration. He hadn’t expected to be betrayed by Selah at such a critical moment. He had thought he could manipulate her, which was why he had been so bold.
Tm not lying. To keep evidence, he asked to meet, and everything he said was recorded. Here’s the audio, Selah said as she willingly handed over the recording.
Selah hesitated for a moment before continuing. “Officer, I suspect this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this.”
The officer took the recording, nodding slightly. “We’ll continue the investigation.”
“Selah, you bitch, how dare you betray me!” Lucian exploded, jumping up in anger, but the officer quickly restrained him.
Lucian, desperate, looked around, hoping to find Sophia, but both she and Atlas were nowhere to be seen. Panicked, he shouted, “Officer, I need to see Sophia!” But the officer simply cuffed him and began to lead him away.
“Odalys didn’t die, did she? We were just playing a game last night. You have no right to arrest me!” Lucian struggled as he was dragged out
After giving their statements, Freya and Stellan quickly made their way over.
“Odalys, you’re amazing. You knew they’d try to expose everything today, so after you disappeared last night, you didn’t show up again. You were on the boat before anyone else this morning, Freya said, keeping her voice low.
“I didn’t expect them to try to harm you, but you’re fine. Looks like Sophia didn’t actually commit a crime,” Freya whispered.
Odalys smirked, running her hand through Freya’s hair. “Even if something had happened to me, the Bennett family would’ve covered for her. Besides, I didn’t plan to deal with her right now, Odalys replied coldly.
Before her time travel, Odalys had been suppressed to the point of depression, ultimately driven to suicide by their actions.
All of this had been orchestrated behind the scenes by Sophia, and Odalys would get her revenge. She would slowly torment Sophia, making her wish for death but unable to escape it. If Odlys sent Sophia straight to jail now, it would be too easy on
her.
‘Since Sophia cares so much about her reputation, I’ll destroy her good name completely, Odalys thought
“Odalys, I’m sorry, Selah said, standing there awkwardly. After Slah confessed to Odalys the night before, Odalys had still gone through with the plan. She had pretended to fall into the sun, and when Luciarfeft, she had swum back to shore.
Freya and Stellan had arrived soon after, and they had all discussed the plan. They decided to fool the others.
In the morning, they had kept Group A waiting while Odalys boarded the boat first, creating the illusion that she was truly dead That was why Sophia called the insurance company.
“What are you apologizing for? Right now, the most important thing is to grab a bite to eat and then head back. We’re all bark anyway. Odalys said softly.

Stellan quickly raised his hand. “I know a place with great spaghetti.”
“Let’s go!” Freya agreed, also eager to head out.
Selah never imagined that one day she would be having dinner with the famous stars Stellan and Freya. After Odalys forgave Selah, the four of them quickly ordered a car and went to eat spaghetti.
Once they left the police station, the live–streaming stopped. The viewers, anxious for more updates, were left on edge, but unfortunately, the cameramen had finished for the day.
