Chapter 602
Before Percival could utter a word. Odalys had forcefully shut the door with a loud bang.
Not far away, Evander and Dorian poked their heads out from behind a tree and looked over
“Did you offend her!” Evander asked urgently.
He hurried over with his cup, and Callum followed closely behind.
He never expected that stepping out for tea in the morning would lead to such juicy gossip.
“It was not often that Odalys slammed a door, so when it happened, Evander could not help but feel imeasy.
“Mr. Stewart, what happened?” Callum asked. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Dorian stood where he was and subconsciously looked in the direction of Odalys’s bedroom.
From the window, he could see Odalys drawing the curtains ti
tightly as if shutting herself off from the outside world.
“I don’t think so, Percival finally said after a prolonged silence, shaking his head in response to Evander’s question.
Just now. Odalys did not look angry when she walked away.
Moreover, the amount Percival gave to Henry was not much. He wanted to make use of Henry to suppress the Bennett Group and force the person behind the scenes to come out into the open. Dragging this out any longer would not solve anything.
Although the Bennett family was already in disarray, the true culprits had not yet revealed themselves,
Brandon and Oliver seemed to have ulterior motives, but they were probably just bait and not the real masterminds.
“Hey, you brat! Go and coas her! Women need to be coaxed, so go coax her! At my age, I went out of my way to help you get a wife. What am I supposed to do if you lose her?” Evander was greatly worried.
Seeing that Percival was still standing there, with no intention of going upstairs, Evander was so anxious that he stamped his feet, wanting nothing more than to kick Percival
‘Grandpa, you’re overthinking this. We didn’t have a fight.” Percival shook his head helplessly.
However, when he met Evander’s angry gaze, Percival fell silent.
“He glanced thoughtfully toward Odalys’s bedroom, lightly rubbing his fingers as he pondered. Without another word, Percival turned and headed upstairs, leaving the others downstairs to stare after him until he disappeared.
“What is Henry doing running to our house so early in the morning? He’s affecting the relationship between the married couple, Evander said, running his hand through his hair in annoyance.
He hated the Bennett family and even wished that the Bennett family would disappear from his sight.
“Henry suddenly came to see Odalys, so there must be some things he wants the Stewart family to help with. It seems that the Bennett family is still not ready to give up Callum said thoughtfully
Evander and Dorian were silent after hearing this
Odalys, meanwhile, returned to her room and lay down, scrolling through the news on her phone. She did not give the earlier incident a second thought, unaware that the people downstairs were concocting all sorts of wild scenarios in their heads after her dramatic exit
“Are
‘you free now“” Odalys made a call.
On the other end of the phone, Francis immediately got up and walked toward the bathroom after answering the call.
“I just finished shooting a scene. Em on break now,” he whispered, after closing the bathroom door.
“Last time I said your last name Ziegler wasn’t good, that the last name attracted negative energy easily, so I told you to change it to the last name Zephyr instead. After changing your name, have you been having nightmares?” Odalys asked.

Recently, the things that had been happening around Francis were rather strange.
“Yes. What’s even stranger is that there seems to be a voice in my heart that keeps urging m
me to change my name back. I have no idea why.” Francis
This thought lingered persistently, like an unshakable obsession.
your current name shouldn’t attract negative energy. It’s likely your previous
“Seems like someone in the crew is stirring up trouble. Otherwise, yo name held some benefit for certain people, so they are trying to manipulate you into reverting to it.
“After all, you’re orphaned. It shouldn’t matter what your last name is. You can’t possibly be attached to the last name. Odalys said.
She had inexplicably thought of Francis after meeting Henry earlier.
“So now what. Odalys What should I do? Francis asked, feeling a little nervous.
He leaned back against the door. In the quict bathroom, he vaguely heard his own heartbeat. Even his palms were starting to sweat
“After filming is finished, during your lunch break, call Freya, Selala, and Stellan, Didn’t I give each of you a talisman before! Have them put the talismans in your room.
“Put your on talisman under your pillow. Don’t go anywhere in the afternoon, remember to take a nap at 12 noon sharp. Odalys said.
Francis was a little anxious and uneasy.
“Okay” His voice was hoarse with nervousness.
Francis gripped the phone so tightly that the phone case was almost deformed.
Although he seemed calm and composed, he was actually quite nervous
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll set you up?” Odalys asked over the phone, detecting the nervousness in Francis’s raped breathing. Francis was clearly tense bat refrained from asking or saying too much
Francis chuckled at that question
“If I weren’t for you, I would have died at the hands of my ex–girlfriend and manager when I went home after recording the vanery show. How could I still be alive!
“Besides, I know exactly what kind of person you are! Even if you mess up, I’m not one to just give up
“It’s obvious that something is wrong with me. Lately, I’ve felt this suffocating force pushing down on me. It’s impossible to ignore, Francis Cadmitted
Originally, he did not want to mention it to Odalys, worried that it might add to her burdens.
But now that Odalys had brought it up, he did not want to hide it from her anymore.
“Since you
you trust me, then do as I say. Let them put the calisman in your room later,” Odalys said.
Francis nodded and said. “Got it.
After ending the call, Francis took a sharp breath and pocketed his phone. He splashed cold water on his face to calm himself down
After that, he turned and opened the bathroom door, only to see a figure flash by.
“Who is it?” Francis hurried out, but it was empty outside, with no one to be seen.
Francis frowned, staring at the empty hallway thoughtfully.
He did not linger there. He turned and walked toward the dressing room.
While eating mango pudding, Freya sat with Selah–engrossed in celebrity gossip. “I can’t believe she’s still posting selfies. It’s unbelievable, Freya remarked.
“Who are you talking about?” Stellan asked, approaching after changing his clothes.
pudding, she handed over her phone. “Sophia. After the last incident, she lost all her fans. I thought she’d keep a low profile
As Freya chewed on her p for a while.

Unexpectedly, she just posted a selfie saying she wants to start over, a and claimed that the whole thing about hurting her fann innocent, Freya said disdainfully
She had seen shameless people, but not this shameless…
After casting a quick glance at the phone, Stellan remarked, “Looks like Sophia is trying to play the victim and shift the focus, hoping
Selah munched on a snack and frowned. “So negative publicity is still publicity? Even if she wants to make a comeback, does the Bennem family even have the resources to back her up now?”
