Chapter 52
[Oh my god, was it Sophia who seduced Lucian and had him threaten Selah to get her to meet Odalys in the middle of the night and try to kill her by the sea?]
[That’s terrifying. I thought something was off with the livestream last night, but I thought it was part of a game. I never imagined it was real.]
[Where are the fans of Group A members now? The police have shown up, and yet they’re silent? They love causing a stir, don’t they? Come on, and say something.]
[Odalys is really smart. It seems like she’s got everything under control.]
(I really like her. I hope she opens an account. I want to be one of her first fars.]
[Am I the only one who thinks the members of Group B are really chill? They just wrapped up what they had to do and then went out to eat, like regular people. They’re total foodies.]
[I need to visit the Bennett Group. I want to ask if they give every employee this kind of insurance. Anyone want to join me? Let’s go together.]
The netizens were being reckless, directly heading to the entrance of Bennett Entertainment. For several days, no celebrity from Bennett Entertainment dared to come out or go in. Many collaborations that had been arranged were canceled.
The competition was watching the Bennett family’s downfall, and some of them were even taking advantage of the
struation.
At the spaghetti restaurant, the four of them finished their meal and started scrolling through their phones. Selah stared at the screen in shock, unable to believe what she was seeing. “Wait. Everything except for when we went to the restroom, took a shower, or slept… has been streamed?”
“I didn’t expect hidden cameras, Freya whispered. This kind of reality show recording method was a first for her.
Stellan scrolled through his phone and then sighed. “The Bennett Group is going to have a really hard time bouncing back from this
“Odalys, come on and tell us. What’s your relationship with Sophia and Atlas?” Freya asked, clearly curious. It was obvious that the two of them weren’t just targeting Odalys out of simple Hatred.
Odalys took a sip of her juice, smiling as she made eye contact with them. I’m the real daughter of the Bennett family by blood. Atlas is my third brother. After they abandoned me, they adopted Sophia.
“She probably feared I’d take away the love and resources that were meant for her, Odalys said candidly. The revelation was explosive, and everyone held their breath in disbelief.
“Want. They did all of this just for that… bitch? They even boug you a huge accidental death insurance policy? Was everything that happened last night part of a scheme?” Freya said, then quickly took a sip of water to calm herself.
“Exactly. If I die, they get a payout of 70 million dollars. What do you think?” Odalys said with a quiet laugh, standing up.
Odalys turned to head to the counter to pay but saw that Stellan had already taken care of the bill. She waved her hand in resignation. I need to go. We’ll meet up next time when you’re lice.
“Are you still coming to the variety show in four days? Freya askid urgently. After a few days of spending time with Odalys, Freya found herself genuinely liking her.

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I? My contract with the Bennett Group expires right after the variety show. I won’t break the contract early and pay them compensation. That would be a bad deal. Don’t you think?” Odalys teased.

With a casual wave, Odalys stepped out the door. Freya, Stellan, and Selah watched her leave, then stood up to follow her. A car sent by the company was waiting outside.
Seeing them getting in. Selah was about to call a cab when Freya suddenly spoke up.
“Come on. I’ll give you a ride back” Freya suddenly said to Selah.
Selah was about to refuse when Freya continued, “If I drive you back, your company people will know you are close to me They’ll be less likely to make things hard for you. Take a look at your contract. If you can, just break it.”.
“I know,” Selah said. After learning that Selah had reported Lucian, it was clear the company would target her. Breaking the contract was her only way out.
Selah thought back to when Odalys had done a divination for her earlier. She whispered, “Odalys is really something. When she did the divination, she was hinting that if I helped Lucian, my life would be over.”
“She must have seen it coming. Selah said, reflecting on the situation. Selah felt that participating in the variety show was the best decision she’d made. Meeting Odalys was the luckiest thing that had happened to her.
Sophia finished
giving her statement at the hospital. Though there were hidden cameras on the island, the evidence was still insufficient. She was a suspect but there was no way to definitively prove that she intended to kill anyone.
And with the poison in her system, she fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
When Sophia woke up in the hospital, her phone kept vibrating. The constant noise startled her, and she picked up the phone to check the news. To her shock, she found that her name was dominating the trending searches.
“Am I really trending?” Sophia said, stunned. Previously. Sophia phone had been taken by Atlas, and she had no idea what was going on online.
When Sophia opened her phone, she saw all her videos being recommended. She quickly opened Tik Tok and realized that all the ugly sides of her had been revealed.
“How is this possible? How did everything from last night get broadcasted? Wasn’t the production team off work by then?” Sophia said, bewildered. She scrolled through the trending topies, and her vision blurred as she passed out.
Sophia had never imagined that her dream of becoming famous overnight through the variety show would come true, but not in the way she had expected. Instead of being admired, she was being scorned. Everyone was calling her promiscuous, vicious, and a bitch.
“Sophia!” Caspian burst through the door and saw Sophia unconscious. He rushed over, noticed the trending topics on her phone, and angrily turned to yell at Atlas. “Didn’t I tell you to take her phone away? Why did you let her see this?”
Atlas, feeling sore all over, didn’t expect Caspian to immediately lash out at him. He was stunned, thinking. “We’re both poisoned. Sophia gets to lie in a hospital bed, but they’re interrogating me. We almost fought earlier. This isn’t fair!
He tried to explain. “I couldn’t stop her from using her phone. Besides, if she hadn’t started trouble and seduced Lucian to trick Odalys, trying to kill her, none of this would have happened.”
“I told her to lay low, but she insisted on causing chaos. Are you blaming me for that?” Atlas’s frustration, built up over the past few days, exploded at that moment. He trembled with anger, glared at Caspian, and turned to leave.
“You still have the nerve to walk away? What have you been doing? Now, because of one variety show, Sophia’s ruined, and the company’s nearly on the brink of bankruptcy Caspian yelled.

Atlas took a few steps, then turned around. “What d
did you just say? Atlas couldn’t believe his ears.
Caspian threw his phone onto the table, leaned back, and rubbed his temples. “Right now, a whole bunch of netizens are waiting outside the company, trashing us.
“All the deals we had lined up are canceled. All of the celebrity collaborations under the Bennett Group have been pulled meaning every celebrity in the Bennett family is now out of a job.”
