Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline (Chapters 111 to 120)

Chapter 111

But now, Finnian felt that Odalys was getting further and further away from him. She had even drawn a line with him. His rationality was telling him that what he had done before was wrong.

Even if he felt that he was wrong, it was impossible for him not to think about Sophia all the time. However, he was as if he had been possessed.

“You guys chat. I’m going out to get some fresh air,” Finnian said as he got up and walked out.

Francis saw how angry he was, and a playful look appeared on his handsome face. He clapped his hands and said, “I’ll go out for a walk too and see if I can find something to eat.” Sophia’s body froze. She looked at Finnian’s departing figure and then at Francis’s disregard for her. She almost spat out a mouthful of blood. They actually didn’t give her any face at all.

“What’s wrong with these two? Why are they throwing a tantrum?” Atlas cursed in shock.

Then, he reached out and touched her head. He said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I am here for you.”

“Atlas, you’re the best.” Sophia hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. She felt Atlas’s love, but she was dissatisfied. Thinking of Finnian’s hateful gaze, she panicked.

She had clearly given him a Love Spell, but he seemed to be starting to hate her. He clearly felt that something was wrong and subconsciously resisted the Love Spell. Once he resisted with all his might, he would really break the Love Spell.

“No! I can’t let him break it. Otherwise, how am I going to charm him?” Sophia said in a low voice.

Moreover, Henry was right. The Lark family’s land could help the Bennett family make a comeback.

Now that she had control of Finnian, not only did she want him to be devoted to her, but she also wanted to use him to infiltrate the Lark family.

Even though the Lark family cut off his resources now, Finnian was still one of them. Wealthy families valued blood ties the most. As long as he was a member of the Lark family, it was enough. Thinking of this, Sophia could not help but feel anxious.

“This won’t do. We have to cast another talisman on him,” Sophia whispered as she bit her lip.

After drinking the Love Spell, he would love her deeply, but if he subconsciously resisted it, she had to give him another talisman. After the second talisman, Finnian’s subconscious would be manipulated by her. At the thought of this, she could not help but clench her fists tightly. “Why did you pinch me?” Atlas grunted in pain.

Sophia was stunned. She quickly lowered her head and realized that her fingertips had dug into his palm. Blood seeped out from Atlas’s palm. She was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.

“Atlas, I’m sorry. I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Sophia was so frightened that tears flowed out of her eyes.

Atlas was originally in pain. When he saw her pitiful appearance with red eyes, he could not help but smile and say, “Silly girl, I’m a man. This is nothing. Let’s go out and see if there’s anything to eat.”

“Okay,” Sophia replied obediently.

She took the phone and realized that she still had a signal, but she could not access the Internet or see any information on the Internet. It seemed that they could only call each other, but they could not contact anyone from the outside world. It was exactly the same as last time.

Therefore, she did not know that the live-stream was in an uproar again.

A person said: [Why is she wearing such a loose V-neck top when she is with a group of men? Is she trying to seduce them?]

Another person said: [Wow! Sophia’s side profile is really amazing. I fell in love with her already.]

Someone else said: [Wait, am I the only one who feels that Sophia’s appearance has changed? It feels different from before, but I can’t tell what’s different.]

A person said: [It’s not just Sophia. I keep feeling that Finnian’s face has also changed. He looks a little weird. He’s clearly very handsome, but I keep feeling that there’s something wrong wit him.]

Another person said: [Don’t spout nonsense. Sophia is the daughter of the Bennett Group! Are you guys jealous and want to slander her?]

Someone else said: [I can’t take it anymore. How is she kind? Didn’t she deliberately provoke Lucian to harm Odalys last time? It’s only been a few days. Have you forgotten about it already?]

A person said: [That’s right. Lucian is still in jail. Maybe she spent money so she wasn’t arrested.]

At this moment, the arguments in the live stream kept escalating. There were even fans who dug out the scene of Sophia being carried by Atlas in the last episode. Her legs were separated as they grabbed onto Atlas’s waist.

A person commented: [Looking at this picture, I almost feel that she’s a prostitute. Look at how her legs are. Who would ever do that?]

Another person said: [That’s right! Her chest is already stuck to Atlas’s arm. Maybe she has been a prostitute before.]

The netizens took screenshots and made them into videos. They even made it to the trending topics.

A piece of news wrote: [Shocking! What are Sophia’s legs doing?]

Another wrote: [What is the relationship between Sophia and the other men?]

Someone else wrote: [Why is she wearing a V-neck and bending down to talk to other men? Does she think her breasts are big?]

These posts were trending. Sophia’s fans immediately started to attack the people who posted these, but they were criticized and eventually banned by the platform. The discussions on the internet were getting more and more heated.

The Bennett Group was already in an awkward situation. The variety show had just started, and Sophia was once again on the trending searches. She led her team members to continue driving in the rain without listening to advice. After Odalys notified her, she still did not listen and wanted to be the first to arrive. Unexpectedly, she got into a car accident that caused everyone to be injured.

Group B did not fight for it, but they ended up being the first to arrive. Sophia was mocked by the entire Internet for having evil intentions.

Naturally, the people in Group A did not know about this. Sophia’s thoughts were all on Finnian. She needed to find an opportunity to be alone with Finnian when the photographer was not around and give him the last talisman.

“Atlas, let’s go look for Finnian. We’ve worked together before, so we might be able to understand each other better.” Sophia ran forward and pulled Atlas out. Atlas had no other choice but to listen to her.

The photographer followed behind and realized that her top had slipped off, revealing her attractive shoulders. It was almost night, and the temperature had dropped drastically. Everyone subconsciously put on their jackets. However, Sophia still exposed her shoulders as if she did not notice. “Isn’t she cold?” A staff member muttered in confusion. The others looked at each other, not daring to make a sound. “It’s getting dark. It’s definitely not safe for us to go to the forest behind the village. Why don’t we see if any villagers are willing to give us some food?” Sophia’s eyes lit up as she suggested loudly.

Francis and Finnian walked in front and ignored her. However, Sophia jogged forward and walked past them.

She was excited as she skipped towards the courtyard in front.

She stood outside and winked mischievously at the camera as she lowered her voice and said, “Let’s see if the cute villagers will help us.”

Chapter 112

As Sophia spoke, she raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door. There was a knock on the door, but it was strangely quiet inside. No one answered.

She stood there awkwardly and kept rubbing her hands. She said to the camera, “They definitely didn’t hear us. Let’s knock again.”

She raised her hand and continued to knock. After a while, footsteps came from inside.

A seductive smile appeared on Sophia’s face. When the door opened, a man in thick pajamas stood at the door and asked unhappily, “What?”

Seeing this man, who was almost 50 years old, Sophia’s smile deepened.

“Sir, we’re here to record a show. There was a car accident on the way, and we haven’t found anything to eat yet. Can you please give us some food? We’ll return it to you tomorrow when we find something to eat.” Sophia asked in a low voice.

Her voice was melodious as the man looked at her.

Looking at her smooth skin and her exposed shoulders, the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He looked at her V-neck with ill intentions.

The man kept rubbing his hands while staring at her. Come in with me,” the man said before turning and heading inside.

Seeing this, Sophia hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to ask her group to accompany her, she saw the man turn around fiercely and say to her, “If you want food, come in and get it yourself. They’re not allowed to come in.” As she listened, a sense of foreboding welled up in her. However, she had knocked on the door. If she refused to enter, it would definitely seem a little weird.

She hesitated for half a second before gritting her teeth and walking in. After all, her team was outside. If something really happened, she would shout and they would come in to save her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go in for a while. Anyway, I’ll return it to him tomorrow,” Sophia said and walked in.

As she approached the man, she felt his gaze becoming more and more vulgar. Before she could speak, she saw the man stride forward and walk past her to stand in front of the door. He slammed the door shut with a bang.

“Why did you close the door?” Sophia was stunned. She was shocked. She looked at the dim light in the room. The furnishings inside were simple. It was obvious that this man was poor.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She wanted to run out, but he touched her exposed shoulder.

“Wait, I’ll get you something to eat,” the man said as his large palm slid down her shoulder. As he walked past her, he accidentally bumped into her chest. She was so frightened that she took half a step back and kept swallowing her saliva.

When the man walked past her, he even glanced down at her clothes. Then, he walked to the dining table in satisfaction and handed her two bags of spaghetti, as well as a few black bananas.

“Is that enough?” the man asked.

When Sophia saw the food, she was stunned and did not reach out to take it.

“This banana was just plucked from a tree yesterday. It’s very sweet,” the man said.

He shoved the things into her hands, then took a loaf of bread and handed it to her. When he realized that her hands were full, his gaze was hooked on her chest.

The man kept swallowing his saliva. Then, he approached her and asked, “How long are you guys staying here? Are you the only woman in the group?”

“A week,” Sophia answered subconsciously.

When the man heard that, his eyes lit up. Then, he turned around and rummaged through his things. He took out a few potatoes and packed them for her. He also took a bag. After putting the things that he had stuffed into the bag, he handed them to her.

“The back of the mountain is very dangerous. If you don’t have anything to eat, come and find me. I’ll hunt for you,” the man said, and naturally put his arm around her shoulder as they walked out.

Sophia avoided him awkwardly. The man did not mind, but his hand still brushed across her chest.

She felt disgusted and so angry that her entire body was trembling. She knew that this man was taking advantage of her and kept looking for opportunities to touch her.

“I’ll be leaving then.” Sophia bit her lip and rushed out of the door. She ran out, afraid that the man would chase after her. In the past, she would have slapped him, but not now.

She had to show off the fact that she was the one who obtained the food for the group. That way, they would have a better impression of her. At the thought of this, she suppressed her nausea and quickly ran out.

“This gentleman gave us some spaghetti, some bread, a few potatoes, and the bananas he picked in the forest. It’s all-natural,” Sophia said as she showed the contents of the bag to the camera.

She blinked mischievously and said with a smile, “It seems that the villagers are very friendly. However, we have no choice today. From tomorrow onwards, we will have to rely on ourselves to find food.

“I just promised him that I’ll give him some when we find food tomorrow. I won’t take advantage of him.”

Atlas took the item but felt a little disgusted. He usually wouldn’t eat this food, but now, no one dared to say anything.

Especially the bananas. There were some black spots on the skin. It looked like it had been there for a long time.

“Let me see if this wild banana tastes good,” Sophia said. She took a banana, peeled it, and took a bite.

The sweet taste in her mouth continued to spread. She nodded repeatedly, and her eyes lit up.

“It’s really delicious. It tastes different from what I had before.” Sophia tried her best to smile as she followed behind Atlas.

However, her gaze was on Finnian. She was looking for an opportunity to interact with him in private.

An audience member in the live stream wrote: [Am I the only one who feels that her shoulders are a little red? Could it be that she was groped by that man just now?]

Another person commented: [Why did they close the door? Why did she stay inside for so long?]

Someone else said: [Am I the only one who feels that she doesn’t like the food but can’t bear to show it? I feel like vomiting when I see her eating. She looked like she was afraid of being poisoned.]

The netizens stared at the camera. Some even took a screenshot and enlarged it. They saw that her exposed shoulder was indeed a little red, a stark contrast to her skin. The Internet was in an uproar. Sophia’s fans were furious, but they could not win against the netizens. However, they did not have the money to remove the trending topics and could only watch as an overwhelming number of people defamed Sophia.

*****

Group B went straight to the end of the village and entered the forest. The air in the forest was especially fresh after the rain, and they could vaguely hear the cries of birds and beasts.

“I think there will be mushrooms. Let’s pick some,” Odalys said in a low voice. In the forest after the rain, the mushrooms were almost inexhaustible.

“Odalys, do you know how to differentiate between edible and inedible mushrooms? I heard that some of them are poisonous.” Freya was a little curious and immediately bent down to follow behind her.

“I heard that you can’t eat the ones with bright colors.” Selah chimed in.

Chapter 113

As Odalys spoke to them, she pushed aside the fallen leaves on the ground and saw a few white mushrooms. She plucked them.

Then, she broke off some branches and woven them

together with the leaves into a frame. She carried them in a basket as she plucked the mushrooms.

“After the rain, there should be some potherb. Take a look and see if there are any,” Odalys said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Stellan’s voice. “Come quickly, there are a lot of potherb here,” Stellan said.

He rolled up his sleeves and pushed the potherb down. Soon, he dug out a few. He was so excited as he waved his hand and said, “There’s still a lot here.”

“Why are you so excited?” Selah was stunned.

Seeing that Stellan rolled up his sleeves and started digging, everyone quickly walked forward.

In a short while, he dug up more than ten potherbs and threw them on the ground. Odalys found some grass, tied them up, and placed them aside.

“Let’s leave them here. I feel that the wind is a little wet. I

think there should be a stream ahead. Let’s see if there are any shrimps or fish in it,” Odalys said.

After Stellan dug up the potherbs, he was extremely excited. “Let’s go,” Stellan said and walked forward.

Freya was so happy that she could not close her mouth. She smiled and chased after him, saying, “You are so strong. It won’t be much for you to carry all of these potherbs by yourself later.”

“Yes, I can carry all of them,” Stellan immediately nodded and said.

Selah and Odalys looked at each other and could not help but laugh softly. They could tell that Freya had set a trap for him, and Stellan was enjoying it. A few of them walked along the path and soon heard the sound of running water.

The wind was a little strong, and the air was a little humid. They passed through the bush and walked to the roadside. When they saw a stream in front of them, their eyes lit up.

“It’s too late now. It’s not safe to go down. We’ll come over tomorrow to see if we can catch any fish. We might be able to catch some river shrimp in this muddy river,” Odalys said. Selah could not help but swallow her saliva and said, “I miss the fish you roasted previously.”

“Me too. I’m starting to get hungry,” Freya said.

Stellan looked around and realized that the sky was already dark. She said in a low voice, “It’s dark. If we can’t get a net today, we can only eat the vegetables tonight. What do you think?”

“It’s good that way! Odalys’s culinary skills are amazing.” Freya was simply her fan. It seemed that as long as it was something made by Odalys, she liked to eat it.

“Don’t flatter me. I’ll cook later. You guys do something with the grass we cut earlier. After it’s dried tomorrow, we’ll use it to fill the holes in the roof,” Odalys said.

The others listened and nodded repeatedly.

“Let’s go back,” Odalys said.

A few of them walked back. Stellan took the initiative to carry the potherbs he had dug previously. Odalys carried the mushrooms she had picked. After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt something running past her.

“What is it?” Selah was shocked.

Odalys strode forward and kicked it out of instinct.

Odalys went forward in shock and realized that it was a pheasant. It might have heard them talking and was frightened, so it tried to escape.

Unexpectedly, it crawled to Odalys’s feet and was kicked away by her. It fell and hit a rock, dying on the spot.

“It’s a pheasant,” Odalys said in disbelief. She couldn’t believe her luck.

“We’re going to have chicken tonight. Odalys, I love you so much.” Freya saw this and pounced forward to hug Odalys.

She almost jumped onto Odalys.

Odalys held her body helplessly and said, “You’re pressing on me so hard that I can’t breathe.”

Selah laughed and picked up the pheasant. The

photographer was also stunned. When he saw something flying out, he subconsciously pushed the camera over and caught Odalys’s kick. The pheasant ran as fast as it could, but she was faster.

The pheasant was sent flying by her kick and hit a rock. When it fainted, it even glanced at her. Its indignant gaze was recorded by the camera.

An audience member in the livestream asked: [Why is she so strong?]

Another person said: [No way. I feel this kick can kill me instantly.]

Someone else said: [When this pheasant died, it didn’t even think that it would die this way, right?]

A person said: [Group B is very harmonious! I want to join them!]

Another person said: [Stefan is so kind. He is carrying the potherbs all by himself!]

Someone else wrote: [I realized that the three women in Group B are dressed conservatively, unlike the one in Group A. She revealed her shoulders and followed a man into the room alone to get food.]

A person asked: [Take a guess. Has Sophia been touched by that man?]

Another person said: [Those men in Group A are all useless. Don’t they feel bad about making a woman get food for them? If Sophia is taken advantage of, then those men are the culprits.]

Everyone began to criticize Finnian, Francis, and Atlas. Their Twitter accounts instantly were filled with scolding. The trending topics were about Sophia’s chest-revealing and Odalys’ strong kick. The two of them formed a stark contrast. They clearly did not interact at all, but they seemed to be competing with each other.

Odalys and the others returned to the dilapidated house. They worked together harmoniously.

Freya washed the pot and boiled the water. Selah went to spread out the grass that had been cut. Stellan was peeling the potherbs. Although they were clumsy and had obviously never done any work before, they tried their best.

Not long after, Odalys finished killing the chicken. She found a pot to boil water and threw the entire chicken in. She also threw some mushrooms in.

“We can have mushroom chicken soup later,” Odalys said. Freya kept swallowing and continued to add firewood. After Stellan was done with the potherbs, he cut them into thin slices and placed them aside.

“By the way, I have some chili pepper,” Odalys said. She touched her pocket.

Stellan was a little surprised when she took out a few peppers from her pocket and handed them over. His eyes lit up, and he asked, “Where did you get this?”

“When I was walking in the forest, I saw some wild peppers, so I picked a few,” Odalys said. Stellan took pepper, washed it, and cut it into pieces.

After Selah was done with the grass, she jogged over to wash her hands and asked, “Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Just wait,” Odalys said.

No one knew why she put the whole chicken in. They all asked curiously, “Are we going to eat the whole chicken?”

“Later, we’ll add chili and cut the chicken into small pieces. Then, we can also eat it with the soup,” Odalys said.

They did not expect her plan for the chicken. They were all stunned.

Chapter 114

After all, it was convenient to eat in restaurants now. Most people did not know how to cook these things. They did not expect the soup to be edible. Half an hour later, Odalys brought the chicken to the table.

There was also a plate of grilled chicken with roasted vegetables and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.

The dining table was made of stone slabs placed on a rock. It happened to be square-shaped. It was just right for the four of them.

“Smells good.” Freya lowered her head and took a sniff. Her stomach growled again.

It was already nine o’clock in the evening, and the meal time had long passed. However, they had not eaten much the entire day, and they had gone to look for food. They had exhausted their energy, so they were naturally starving. “Odalys, have a chicken drumstick,” Freya said as she picked up a chicken drumstick for Odalys. Seeing this, Selah gave her a wing.

“You guys eat. You don’t have to give me any,” Odalys said, feeling flattered.

Seeing this, Stellan also picked up a piece of meat for her and said, “If it weren’t for your work, how would we have chicken to eat? Eat up.”

“Yes, eat up,” Freya and Selah jeered.

The atmosphere was very harmonious. The photographer and the other two staff members were moved by their atmosphere, and their mood improved a lot.

As for Group A, it was different. They were lifeless as they stared at the expired bread. None of them moved.

Sophia forced a smile, but it looked quite awkward. She picked up the expired bread and said, “Actually, it’s edible. It’s not moldy. Even the villagers can eat it, so can we.”

“What’s that? It smells so good.” Finnian sniffed. He realized that the rich fragrance seemed especially unreal.

He subconsciously walked out. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed.

They could vaguely hear laughter coming from next door. They stood in front of the door and saw the people from Group B sitting around, eating happily. They even heard words like chicken drumsticks.

“Why do they have chicken drumsticks? Did they ask the villagers for them?” Sophia asked curiously.

Smelling the fragrance, they naturally felt a little uncomfortable since they had not had anything for the entire day.

If they had known earlier, they would have eaten at the airport before coming over. That way, they wouldn’t be this hungry.

“Not only are they eating chicken, but they also seem to have other food,” Atlas said in surprise.

He subconsciously walked over, and the others followed behind him.

He walked closer and realized that there were two plates of chicken on the table, some chicken soup, and some potherb with chili. The fragrance filled the air.

“This chicken smells so good,” Stellan exclaimed as he nibbled on it.

When Selah heard this, she picked up a piece and took a bite. She realized that it was indeed quite fragrant. She said in a low voice, “The meat of a pheasant is delicious.”

“That’s right. I think I can eat a lot of it,” Freya nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, the production team prepared a pot for them along with other seasonings.

“You guys are eating chicken? How can there be pheasants here? Could you guys have taken it from the villagers?” A hint of viciousness flashed across Sophia’s eyes.

She did not expect the people from Group B to get so much food. Moreover, the dishes on the table were so sumptuous that she could not help but drool.

“I can still tell the difference between a pheasant and a domesticated chicken.” Freya nibbled on a chicken drumstick and saw them staring at the food on the table.

She immediately reached out to protect it and said warily,” Don’t even think about it. It’s only enough for us.”

Sophia knew that she must have said it on purpose. She originally did want to ask for some.

Sophia forced a smile and said in a low voice, “We also found something to eat, but we just wanted to come over and see how dilapidated your house is. If it rains in the middle of the night, won’t you get drenched? But it looks like you guys are fine with it.”

Her gaze was fixed on Odalys. Unexpectedly, Odalys picked up the chicken drumstick and took a bite. The fragrance of the meat assaulted Sophia’s nose. She felt so uncomfortable that she turned her face away.

Previously, her family would always give her the best food, and no one would fight with her for it. Now that she was standing awkwardly and watching others eat, she felt a little ashamed.

“You guys can’t finish your meat. Why don’t we eat a few pieces for you?” Atlas could not help but ask. As soon as he finished speaking, Odalys raised her head and looked at him coldly.

“There’s no need for that. The food is just enough for all of us. You don’t have to help us. It’s not good for you to keep staring at us while we eat, right?” Odalys said coldly.

Atlas was furious at her direct rejection. Odalys was his younger sister, but she did not care about his feelings at all. She did not even share any food with him. It was the same when they were on the deserted island.

He was so angry that he took two steps forward and stood in front of Odalys. He said, “No wonder our family only likes Sophia. Who would like a selfish person like you?”

Sophia listened and felt that something was amiss. She quickly rushed forward and pulled Atlas away, afraid that he would say more.

“Atlas, she was the one who got the chicken. It’s normal that she won’t let us eat it. Let’s not make things difficult for her,” Sophia said pitifully.

It was not that she did not want to eat, but she vaguely felt that the next few days would not be as optimistic as she had imagined. This village was a little strange. It looked safer than the island, but when she thought of that wretched man, she felt unsafe.

“Feels good, doesn’t it?” Odalys suddenly asked.

Stellan nodded knowingly and commented, “It’s indeed not bad. If not for your kick, this chicken would have flown away. Your kick seemed to have made the chicken taste a lot better.”

These words were clearly said deliberately for the people in Group A to hear.

“We’re relieved that you have something to eat. We’re all on a diet. We can make do with spaghetti tonight. However, if your house leaks, you can come to our place to shelter from the rain,” Sophia said in a low voice as she bit her lips. She wanted to appear kind and generous.

“Take care. I won’t send you off,” Odalys said coldly.

Sophia was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She gritted her teeth and pushed Atlas back. Francis and Finnian remained silent the whole time.

“Does Sophia like to stir up trouble so much all the time?” Francis suddenly asked in a low voice.

Chapter 115

Obviously, Francis had heard of Sophia before and knew that there must be someone behind her. This time, he came over to get to know her, but after interacting with her today, he decided to stay away from her.

He vaguely felt that if he came into contact with Sophia, he would probably be slandered. It seemed that it was better to keep away.

“She is quite willful,” Finnian replied. It was not convenient for him to say anything else. As soon as he said bad things about Sophia, he felt a vague pain in his chest, and his head hurt badly.

He stood there and looked at Odalys. He wanted her to see if he was possessed, but he was unable to say anything.

“Why is Finnian looking at you?” Freya leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Selah nodded and said in a low voice, “That’s right. He kept looking like he wanted to say something, but hesitated. Moreover, he looked a little tired, as if his essence had been absorbed.”

“Speaking of absorbing essence, I feel that Sophia and Finnian look different than before.” Although Stellan did not gossip about others, he could not help but interrupt.

Odalys didn’t say anything. She just silently looked away. From the moment she saw Finnian at the airport, she could tell that something was wrong with him.

Between Finnian and Sophia, there was an invisible thread. The control is within Sophia’s hands. It was obvious that she had tampered with Finnian.

Ever since Odalys got Sophia’s hair last time and saw her being skinned when she was young, she knew how Sophia’s glory came about.

She must have been secretly in contact with some evil people. That was why she maintained her beauty so steadily. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to make a move on Finnian.

“I’m full,” Odalys said in a low voice. They finished all the food. Stellan took the initiative to wash the dishes. With a rumble, lightning flashed. It looked like it was about to rain. They looked at each other and quickly retreated into the room. Odalys looked at the grass that was drying and said in a low voice, “Although it’s not dried yet, we have to make do with it for now.”

“Alright, what should we do?” Freya nodded.

Everyone rolled up their sleeves and came over, thinking that they could just use it to fill the holes. Unexpectedly, Odalys walked out, picked up a kitchen knife, cut some branches, and walked back.

She cut the branches into thin slices as the others watched in shock.

“Odalys, aren’t we trying to fill the holes in the roof? Why are you doing this?” Selah was dumbfounded.

Odalys smiled proudly. She shook the pieces in her hand and said in a low voice, “Later, we can use these pieces to spread the grass on the roof.”

“I thought we just needed to fill the holes with the grass.” Freya was also dumbfounded. After all, she had never done this kind of work before.

“If it’s blocked, it will definitely leak. This is how people dealt with this problem in old times,” Odalys said. She moved very quickly, and the others followed her example. They picked up the branches and placed them on the ground. They grabbed a handful of neatly arranged grass and pressed it on it. Then, they stacked it layer by layer. “Press harder,” Odalys said to Selah.

Freya was a little timid. She was afraid that she would make a mistake, so she quickly asked, “Odalys, what about me?”

“Use your foot to step on it. Otherwise, you will not be able to hold it still,” Odalys said and demonstrated to her.

Stellan had good hands-on skills. Seeing her demonstrate to the two girls, he immediately followed suit. Although it did not look good, it was not bad.

“Stellan did it quite well. Use a little more strength like him,” Odalys said.

Stellan pursed his thin lips and smiled faintly. After being praised, he was obviously in a good mood.

“Wow, I think I know it now,” Selah shouted excitedly.

Freya didn’t dare to move. As she stepped on it, she grabbed the grass and tidied it up. She said, “I think I can do it too. Though it looks ugly, as long as it works, it’s fine.” They moved very quickly. However, there was still not enough grass. Odalys stood up and walked into the forest with a knife. She worked very quickly and grabbed a lot of tall weeds.

She tied them up with grass and walked back with one in each hand. Odalys’s actions stunned the netizens in the live-stream. Everyone gasped.

A person commented: [Previously, she said that she grew up on the mountain. I thought she was probably lying. Now, I believe her.]

Another person wrote: [She actually knows how to weave grass. Moreover, she’s very skilled. If she didn’t do it often, she definitely wouldn’t be able to do it like this. Moreover, her method of tying grass is the same as my grandmother’s.]

Someone else said: [Oh my god, she is so strong. I can’t even carry a handful of grass. She’s holding one in each hand and walking so fast.]

Everyone’s eyes widened. When they saw her teaching the others how to tie up the grass, they fell silent.

Her temper and patience were extremely good. Even if things did not go well, she would guide others and not criticize them.

When the fans of the other three saw this scene, they silently followed Odalys on Twitter.

Odalys had just registered a Twitter account that day and had already gained 7 million fans. Many of them came straight from the live broadcast, and the rest were fans of other celebrities on the show. She naturally did not know about this.

“Why is there so much grass?” Freya wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned around.

She was stunned. Odalys had cut more grass than she and Selah had done for half an hour, and she had carried all of it back by herself. It was very heavy. Previously, Stellan had carried it back. She could not even lift it. However, Odalys did it so easily.

“It’s going to rain soon. Let’s hurry up,” Odalys said in a low voice.

In a short while, she made seven rows. Stellan made two rows. Freya and Selah made one row each. In the end, these two worked together to make another row.

“I’ll climb up. Stellan, pass them to me later,” Odalys said. She raised two poles and quickly climbed up. Freya stood there and raised her hand to support her. Unexpectedly, Odalys had already climbed to the roof.

“I thought you needed a ladder.” Selah was dumbfounded.

After Odalys jumped onto the roof, she reached out and said to Stellan, “Help me throw it up.”

“Okay.” Seeing this, Stellan lifted the weed raft and threw it up. Odalys grabbed it and laid it on the roof. There were a total of 11 rows. They covered the entire roof.

Kenny, a cameraman, and other staff members stood not far away. When they saw her being so agile, they gasped. They did not expect her to know this.

“What if the wind blows it away later?” Freya asked after a moment of silence.

Chapter 116

Odalys held a row of weeds and tied a knot at the connecting point. Then, on both sides of the roof, she tied the straw rope in two places. In the end, she asked Stellan to pick up some stones and place them on.

“OK, done,” Odalys said before jumping off the roof.

Seeing this, Freya and Selah rushed forward to catch her. Unexpectedly, Odalys stood steadily on the ground without even stumbling.

On the other side, Francis stood in the dark and looked at Odalys. “She is good.” Francis was a little dumbfounded.

At first, when he saw Odalys at the airport, he despised her and felt that she must have relied on hype to gain popularity. He did not expect her to be so skilled. From the way she handled the matter just now, he knew that she was extraordinary.

“Fortunately, we picked a good house. Otherwise, it would be difficult to go through tonight.” Finnian had come to stand beside him. He looked at Odalys with a complicated gaze and felt a little jealous.

In the living room, Atlas got up to take a shower, leaving Sophia alone. She saw the photographer walking out, saying that he wanted to go to the toilet. She relaxed and quickly got up. Then, she took something out of her bag, lit it, and threw it into a cup.

An audience member in the live stream asked: [What is she doing? What did she just burn?]

Another person wrote: [I just played it back and realized that it seemed to be a yellow talisman. Could I have seen it wrongly?]

Someone else asked: [What is she up to? I vaguely feel that something is amiss.]

A person asked: [Does she think there are no surveillance cameras here because the photographer went to the toilet? Last time on the deserted island, there were invisible surveillance cameras everywhere. Hasn’t she learned her lesson?]

The netizens were shocked. Everyone was attracted by Odalys. When they came back to their senses, they realized that Sophia was actually burning a talisman.

No one dared to say anything else. They saw her burn the talisman and throw it into a cup. She poured water into it and brought it out. Then, she saw Finnian and Francis standing side by side.

She stood there thoughtfully. She turned around and poured another glass of water before walking out.

“Drink some water. Be careful not to catch a cold,” Sophia said as she handed the water over.

Francis took the water but did not drink it. Finnian took a sip and felt that it tasted a little bitter. He frowned and said, “What kind of water is this?”

“This is a special coffee. It can ward off the cold,” Sophia said with a low laugh.

Finnian noticed that the liquid in Francis’ cup seemed to be different from his. Just as he was about to pour it out, he saw Sophia looking at him pitifully.

“Are you going to pour it out because I was the one who got it for you?” Sophia said. She bit her lips and stared at him in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes.

An audience member in the live stream said: [Finnian, don’t drink it! There’s something wrong with the water.]

Another person said: [Sophia is so bold. Is she drugging him?]

The other fans fell silent. Only Finnian’s fans kept commenting in the chat. Sophia’s fans were stunned. They were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything after seeing her burn something and throw it into the cup. They felt that there was no way to justify what Sophia just did.

Outside the room, the lights were dim. Finnian originally did not want to drink the liquid, but when he saw her like this, he picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

“I knew you were the best,” Sophia said, quickly reaching out to take the empty glass. She was afraid that he would see the dust in the cup.

“I think I caught a cold. I’ll go back and rest,” Finnian said as he walked in.

There were only two rooms, so Sophia took one. The other three men had to share the other room. There was no furniture in the room, so they slept on the floor.

“Mr. Zephyr.” After watching him leave, Sophia turned to look at Francis. Francis took half a step back and looked at her warily.

“It’s really inconvenient for a man and a woman to talk alone. You should go back,” Francis said, and put the cup aside.

He turned around and walked next door. The house next door looked like it had been renovated.

“It’s really not bad. When we came, it looked quite old. After what they did, it has become a new house. Moreover, if there’s sun during the day, it won’t be too hot inside,” Francis said in disbelief.

Stellan originally wanted to ignore him, but when he heard him say this, he shrugged.

“Odalys is amazing, right?” Stellan said and walked in. Francis wanted to follow, but he was stopped by him.

“Sorry, it’s too late now. It’s not convenient for you to come in,” Stellan said.

Francis waved his hand and said, “Then I’ll come back tomorrow.”

As he spoke, he walked out. Lightning flashed continuously. With a few rumbles, the lightning seemed to have struck from the sky. After a while, it rained heavily. When the production team saw that it was raining, they immediately left.

The dilapidated house was filled with furniture. The three girls squeezed into a room and kept a small room for Stellan, but the washroom was shared by everyone.

“Stellan, you take a shower first,” Odalys said. Stellan lowered his head and saw that his clothes were a little dirty. He did not stand on ceremony.

“Alright, I’ll shower first,” Stellan said as he walked into the room with his luggage. He took his clothes and entered the washroom.

Odalys and the other two girls returned to their room and lay down on the bed.

The bed was just enough for the three of them.

“We can finally sleep together again,” Freya said, wriggling like a worm and lunging at Odalys, pinning her to the bed. She rested her chin on Odalys and rubbed her face with both hands. “Your face is so tender.”

“I want to touch it too,” Selah said, and also touched it.

Odalys lay there and let them rub her face helplessly. She said, “You have to take responsibility for me after touching my face.”

The two of them laughed and continued to touch her. Odalys flipped over and pressed them down, scaring them so much that they jumped off the bed.

“How dare you run after teasing me?” Odalys said and chased after them.

Selah and Freya fell to the ground. They hugged their stomachs that were hurting from laughing and could barely stand up.

“No, let me calm down first.” Freya quickly waved her hand. Odalys looked out of the window. A figure flashed past quickly.

She could confirm that this person was not from the production team or Group A.

A person in the live stream asked: [Fuck, what did I just see?

Is someone peeping outside the window?]

Another person said: [A person just flashed past the window. Could there be a pervert?]

Someone else asked: [Did Odalys notice it? I saw her looking at the window. I hope that she will be on her guard.]

A person said: [Oh my god, I was so scared. On a thunderstorm night, someone was peeping outside the window. I’m scared.]

The invisible camera in the room covered the entire room. Other than when they changed their clothes, it was working 24/7. This would ensure that their things would not be touched by others, and it would also ensure their safety.

However, the production team did not tell the celebrities about this. Everyone thought that there were no cameras in the room. Only Odalys knew where the invisible cameras were.

“Odalys, what are you looking at?” Freya noticed that something was wrong with her expression and quickly got up from the ground.

Chapter 117

Odalys pointed outside the window and said softly, “A figure flashed past just now. I’m sure it’s not from the production team or Group A next door.

“I feel like it’s a villager here. I don’t know if he’s passing by or…” Odalys didn’t hide anything.

After all, if it were a bad person or a pervert, she’d better tell them and let them be prepared.

“That person can’t be passing by. No one lives near here. Oh my god, I’m a little scared,” Selah said as she shrank back.

Seeing this, Odalys said in a low voice, “I’ll sleep by the window tonight.”

“Should we tell the production team?” Freya’s face turned pale.

It had been a long day, and the consequences would be unimaginable if anything happened to them while they were asleep.

“It’s useless to say it. The other party didn’t peep. Besides, I might have seen it wrongly. Moreover, if someone wanted to peep in the middle of the night…” Odalys said with a sneer.

Freya and Selah looked at her expression and were less panicked.

“It’s nothing serious, trust me,” Odalys said.

Her words reassured them.

Odalys took out her backpack, took a cloth, and spread it out. She hung it at the window and blocked it. This way, even if someone peeked from the outside, they couldn’t see what was inside.

She pushed the window again to make sure it was good and locked. Then, she took a rope and tied it to an iron plate. Once the window was opened, it would pull the rope to let the plate make a sound from the knock.

“Alright, let’s prepare to take a shower and sleep.” After Odalys was done, she stretched.

After a shower, Stellan greeted them and returned to his room to rest.

After they washed up and prepared to sleep, the production team also turned off the camera remotely and ended the day’s live broadcast.

However, the others who had just watched the live broadcast were frightened and unwilling to sleep.

Some people even privately messaged the director, hoping they would turn on the camera outside the window. They wanted to monitor it from afar for the female celebrities.

Kenny naturally saw these private messages, but he ignored them.

Although he was also puzzled about who the figure outside the window was, Kenny did not care. After all, if the netizens felt nervous about it, it would attract the curiosity of those people when the live broadcast started tomorrow. On Group A’s side, all the boys had finished showering. Finnian felt uncomfortable, so he went to sleep first.

“Why are they laughing so loudly? Do they think they can attract traffic like this?” Sophia lay on the bed and listened to the joyous laughter coming from next door.

This made her look a little lonely. After all, there were three men and one woman on her side.

All the men kept a distance from her. Francis did not seem to like interacting with her.

Sophia was a little frustrated. Previously, she felt that since there were no other girls here, at least the attraction was on her. She did not expect it would make her feel a little uncomfortable now.

“Keep laughing. Mom will transfer the Bennett Group’s shares to me when I get the emerald pendant. At that time, you won’t be able to go home,” Sophia thought.

At the thought of this, she could not help but close her eyes.

However, she did not notice that a figure flashed past outside and stared at her room for a long time. That person seemed to be restless.

*****

Late at night, after everyone fell asleep.

Odalys got up alone, put on her clothes, and walked out. She came to the window and took a look. Then, she followed the scent and walked to a separate courtyard. “A bachelor?” She narrowed her beautiful eyes.

She stared at the courtyard and confirmed that this person was the one who had passed by the window previously. After confirming that he was in the room and had not gone out, she turned around and left.

The village was strangely quiet at night. After the rain, other than the sound of mosquitoes, there was only the sound of frogs echoing.

She followed the scent she had smelled earlier and arrived at a remote house outside the village.

Looking at the hundred-year-old tree planted outside the courtyard and the ancient house that exuded an aura of history, she pushed open the door and entered. Odalys stood in the courtyard and saw it was filled with flowers and plants.

Many fabrics were hanging in the courtyard. She could tell they were used to make clothes.

“Looks like this is the place.” Odalys looked around.

She wasn’t in a hurry to go in. Instead, she retreated quickly, closed the door to the courtyard, and walked back silently.

Although she didn’t know if she was overthinking, the conversation with Evander at the Stewart mansion rang in her ears.

If the other party schemed against the Stewart family, he would retreat unscathed. He could not stay in Crownridge anymore.

In that case, this remote village was the best choice. Communication here was not well developed. It was almost cut off from the outside world. If he wanted to hide, it was the best choice.

However, this was only her guess. After confirming the location, she decided to find an opportunity to observe during the day. ‘It’ll be best if I can interact with the people in the courtyard,’ Odalys thought.

Thinking of this, she returned to her residence, changed her clothes, and lay down. After a while, she fell asleep.

The next morning.

A fragrance awakened Freya. She licked the corner of her mouth and said softly, “It smells so good. I want to eat it.”. “I want to eat it too,” Selah muttered.

The moment they turned over, they suddenly opened their eyes.

They looked at each other, then turned around and saw that the side of the bed was empty. Odalys had disappeared. They hurriedly got up, changed their clothes, and walked out in slippers.

“You’re up?” Odalys looked back with a smile.

When Freya and Selah saw her rolling up her sleeves and busying herself, they walked forward in surprise.

“Odalys, why are you up so early? Didn’t you sleep last night?” Freya asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, Stellan walked over with a bucket of water.

“She got up at 5:30 in the morning,” Stellan said, putting the water aside.

There was a well nearby. They usually went there to pick up water for daily use. Therefore, Stellan took the initiative to fetch water back so that they could cook later.

“Five thirty in the morning? It’s only past six o’clock.” Selah gasped.

Looking at Odalys’s energetic appearance, she felt a little embarrassed.

“Go wash your face. It’s time to eat,” Odalys said.

As soon as she finished speaking, they turned around to wash up. Although the photographer was not at work, the invisible cameras were all switched on at five.

Many people who stayed up late without sleeping clicked in when they saw Odalys at five in the morning.

[She went to pick mushrooms alone after the rain stopped. This woman is so energetic.]

[I’m curious what delicious food she’s going to make.]

[She’s so diligent and capable of everything.]

The fans wished they could lock their gaze on the screen, afraid they would miss her figure.

Freya and the others came out after brushing their teeth and washing their faces. Odalys walked to them with food and placed it on the stone table. She also set up the cutlery.

“Help yourself to something in the morning. I made mushrooms and taros. In addition, I made the asparagus sour and hot. This is a delicacy in the countryside.

“There’s also a vegetable soup. I picked up a few prawns by the stream and added it to the soup,” said Odalys.

Chapter 118

The four dishes were all dishes that were not common in restaurants, but the fragrance was strong.

“It looks delicious,” Selah said.

They sat down. Stellan tasted the spicy taros and realized that they were yummy. The fragrance filled his mouth after he ate it. He said softly, “The taro can be cooked like this? It’s my first time eating it. It’s not bad.”

“Of course, you can cook it like this. Other than meat, taro can also be made into a dessert. I found it by the stream when I entered the forest this morning. I dug some back. If it’s too hot at noon, I can make dessert,” Odalys said.

Freya was still a little sleepy. She held her face sideways and looked at Odalys.

While they were eating breakfast, screams came from next door.

“Did he have a fever?” someone whispered.

Atlas did not look too good. He got up from the bed in fear and looked at Finnian’s pale face. If he had not felt Finnian’s body temperature, he would have thought that Finnian was dead.

“How did this happen? He didn’t eat anything else besides stale bread last night,” Francis said.

They helped Finnian sit up and fed him some water.

When Sophia heard their voices, she hurriedly ran over in her pajamas. Because her nightdress was a sling, coupled with the fact that she was not wearing any underwear, she was a little exposed.

She couldn’t care less and quickly walked next door.

When she pushed the door open and entered, she saw that Finnian’s expression was not right. She quickly walked forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The two of them looked up in surprise when they heard her voice. They did not expect her to push the door open and walk in. This was a men’s room, which was more or less inappropriate for her to enter like that.

“He seems to be sick,” Francis said.

Seeing that her chest was a little exposed, Francis quickly turned his head away.

“Let me see.” Sophia stepped forward. Francis quickly made way for her.

She sat there and reached out to hug Finnian’s body. She let him lean on her shoulder as she patted his face and said, Finnian, wake up.”

“Sophia.” Atlas watched as she hugged Finnian affectionately.

She was dressed like this, but she was leaning against Finnian. Displeasure flashed across Atlas’s eyes. He clenched his fists and stepped forward to separate the two of them.

Sophia ignored him and said, “He feels a little hot. He probably caught a cold last night.”

As she spoke, she took out a pill and stuffed it into Finnian’s mouth without letting anyone see it. Then, she put some water into his mouth and forced him to swallow it.

“What did you feed him?” Francis looked at her warily.

The biggest taboo for celebrities was to eat other people’s food, especially medicine.

When she handed him the water last night, he did not drink it, but Finnian did. Francis even suspected that there was something wrong with the water last night.

But he had no evidence, so he could only hold it in and not say anything.

[Is there something wrong with the glass of water last night?]

[Finnian has always been exercising. How could he fall sick from the rain last night?]

[Am I the only one who thinks there’s a problem with

Sophia? She wanted to harm Odalys in the variety show last time. Don’t tell me she’s trying to harm Finnian this time.]

[I don’t care what the situation is. She just took the medicine and stuffed it into his mouth. Could it be drugs or something?]

The netizens were anxious. Everyone almost went crazy when they saw this scene early in the morning. They wanted to crawl in and stop it, but it was too late. The medicine was stuffed into Finnian’s mouth.

After Finnian took it, he leaned against Sophia.

They were in an ambiguous position as if they were a couple.

“Sophia, why don’t you go to your room and change your clothes before coming here?” Atlas was seething with anger. He looked at her sexy nightdress that was exposed in front of so many men.

He felt a little upset. After all, her family had protected her very well since she was young.

They hadn’t seen it, but Francis and Finnian saw it. How could he feel good?

“It’s fine. Let’s wait until he wakes up,” Sophia said in a low voice.

She was a little nervous and couldn’t care less about anything else.

Last night, he drank the last cup of magic water. With this medicine, Finnian was tied to her. Even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

However, she was still nervous and wanted to see the medicine take effect with her eyes.

“Hiss.” Finnian suddenly grunted.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Francis and Atlas standing there. Finnian patted his head in confusion before whispering, “What’s wrong with me?”

Finnian had just finished speaking when Sophia hurriedly replied.

“You’re sick. I just fed you medicine. How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you want to see a doctor?” Sophia asked anxiously.

Finnian shuddered when he heard her voice.

He quickly turned to look at her, and his cold gaze became hot.

“Sorry that I’ve made you worry. I’m fine,” Finnian said. He quickly sat up straight and leaned into her arms. Then, he reached out to touch her head and said, “Don’t worry. I’m much better now.”

Finnian’s voice became extremely gentle. There seemed to be sparks in his eyes. It was as if he had had a crush on her for a long time.

“You’re fine? That’s good. You scared me to death.” Seeing this, Sophia smiled smugly.

She pushed him gently and covered her chest to block the sexy part. She slowly stood up and said, “Then I’ll go back to my room to change, in case the photographer comes and misunderstands.”

Francis was silent. His eyes sized her up and finally locked onto Finnian.

“Good girl. Just go quickly,” Finnian said hoarsely.

The two men standing at the side watched their interaction in confusion.

Yesterday, Finnian looked impatient. But he was affectionate now. It was as if he could not tolerate anyone other than her.

“Then I’ll go back to my room,” Sophia said as she glanced at him.

Seeing the deep affection in Finnian’s eyes, she raised her chin arrogantly and walked toward her room.

Finnian leaned against the headboard and looked in the direction she had left. He chuckled and said, “How naughty.” Atlas fell silent.

He frowned. He felt something was wrong, but could not put his finger on it.

Francis shrank his neck and quickly found an excuse. He took the towel and walked out to wash his face. Atlas followed behind him and still looked back at Finnian occasionally.

Not long after, they washed up and realized that the people from Group B were having breakfast.

“Hungry?” Finnian walked toward Sophia.

He held her hand and walked next door to stand beside

Group B. Then, he reached out to pick up the plate of spicy taros and handed it to her, saying, “Have some.”

“What…” Sophia’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

When they saw the people from Group B, they looked at them strangely as if they were crazy.

The next second, Freya suddenly stood up and snatched the plate away. She held the food and said, “Are you crazy? If you want to eat, go and make it yourself. Why are you here to snatch food for no reason?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Finnian suddenly rushed over.

His eyes turned cold, and his hand reached for Freya’s neck. Freya was also shocked. She wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.

“Finnian, what are you doing?” Stellan stood up and went forward.

However, he saw Finnian’s hand grab Freya’s neck. Before Finnian could exert any strength, a fork flew toward him and poked his arm.

Chapter 119

“Ouch!” Finnian groaned in pain.

He retracted his hand in pain and saw the marks left by the fork on his arm. Blood kept oozing out.

Finnian covered his arm and turned to look at Odalys. It was as if he wanted to eat her up. Odalys sat there and looked at him coldly.

She said, “If you dare to attack my people again, it won’t be as simple as being scratched by a fork.”

Sophia saw Finnian being scratched and turned around angrily. She glared at Odalys, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully, “Don’t go overboard, Odalys.

“We’re all here to participate in a variety show. Even if we’re not good friends, we should show each other some respect. You attacked someone without saying a word. Do you think you’re very impressive?”

Odalys burst out laughing.

She stood up slowly and took a step forward. Her aura was so powerful that Sophia took two steps back.

“Then you shouldn’t have been so shameless. Don’t come over to snatch food for no reason. When we didn’t let you eat it, you even wanted to hurt us. If I hadn’t attacked just now, wouldn’t Freya have been strangled to death by him?

“Your group is too arrogant. How can you still have the cheek to shout at me? Do you think you can do that just because the photographer isn’t at work and there are no outsiders here other than us?

“Do you think no one can see what you did because it’s not a live broadcast?

“Or do you think I can’t tell what you’ve done? Don’t you know better than anyone else what’s wrong with Finnian?” Odalys sneered.

These few words scared Sophia so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She looked at Odalys in shock. Seeing the provocation and warning in Odalys’s eyes, Sophia panicked.

After all, she had done something wrong first. It was unknown if Odalys had seen through her. However, she could tell Odalys’s words had a hidden meaning.

“Could it be that she knows? No, that’s impossible. Odalys is an idiot. How can she be so powerful?” Sophia kept convincing herself in her heart.

Odalys stood there with her hands behind her back.

Odalys stood there with an indifferent aura, looked at Sophia coldly, and smiled. It was as if she were looking at a clown.

“Why? Are you feeling guilty? Or should I tell everyone what you did?” Odalys raised her eyebrows. She was angry.

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat.

She knew Odalys too well. She knew Odalys was like this before she got angry.

Right now, she did not dare to provoke Odalys’s bottom line. She did not know if Odaly knew. She quickly turned around and hugged Finnian’s arm.

“I’m not hungry. Really. Don’t be angry. Let’s go get some food ourselves.” Sophia shook her head at him with red eyes.

Seeing that she was sad, Finnian’s heart felt like it had been stabbed by something.

He slowly looked at Odalys. When he saw her clear and beautiful eyes, his body froze momentarily. It was as if something he was suppressing kept shouting.

“Hiss.” He kept shaking his head in pain.

He seemed to be a little confused. When he felt that someone was bullying Sophia just now, his first reaction was to seek justice for her. However, his rationality told him that there was something wrong with him.

“Your head hurts again, right? Let’s go, I’ll help you back to rest.” Sophia saw this and quickly helped Finnian back.

When she passed Odalys, her eyes were red, and she bit her lip as if she had been wronged.

“I know you don’t like me and hate me. I’m okay with that, but please don’t target the people who want to protect me. I’m okay with anything else,” she sobbed softly.

It was as if everything was fake and everyone was bullying her.

“You’re so phony, do you know that? There’s a saying that a bitch is always pretentious.” Odalys didn’t tolerate her and directly scolded her.

Sophia’s tears immediately flowed out. Odalys had never dared to offend her. Even if she scolded Odalys, Odalys would endure it. Ever since Odalys got married in her place, it was as if Odalys had been brainwashed.

Sophia stomped her foot in anger and hurriedly helped Finnian out.

“Are you feeling better?” Sophia asked gently.

She was a little angry. The moment she saw him strangle Freya, a trace of joy flashed across her heart.

She wanted Finnian to strangle Freya to death. Unfortunately, Odalys, the bitch, ruined my plans and even scolded me, Sophia thought hatefully.

“Hey, I’m fine, really,” Sophia said in a low voice.

Her gentle voice wiped the frustration in Finnian’s heart away.

She helped him out, but he was a little curious why something in his heart seemed to be struggling to wake up, but was suppressed when he saw Odalys’s eyes.

It was as if something had been erased. He felt it was not supposed to be like this, but he could not explain why. “He’s not feeling well. We’ll find something to eat later and let Finnian rest at home,” Sophia said in a low voice. Francis had no objections, but Atlas felt uncomfortable. He was unhappy to see his sister so protective of another man.

“Let’s go to the village,” Atlas said. He grabbed her wrist and forcefully took her away, not giving her a chance to be alone with Finnian.

However, Francis followed behind her. He just looked at her with a probing gaze.

After he left Sophia, Finnian sat there and looked at her figure in a daze. Many unfamiliar memories were forcefully generated in his mind.

“Hiss.” His head hurt so much that he could only go back to his room and lie down.

[Am I the only one who feels something is wrong with Finnian? It’s as if he’s being manipulated.]

[There must be something wrong with the water and medicine that Sophia gave him.]

[Where are the people from the production team? Why didn’t they do anything about it? Something has already gone wrong.]

[Did Odalys notice something? I feel that there’s a hidden meaning in her words. Sophia is so guilty. She must have done something evil.]

The netizens were in an uproar and were even more dissatisfied with Sophia.

Odalys stood there and watched them leave. Then, she turned to look at Freya and asked, “How are you? Did he hurt you?”

Freya still had lingering fears. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. He hasn’t pinched me hard.”

Then, Freya asked doubtfully, “Why does he feel a little violent? It’s a little different from before.”

When she met Finnian’s eyes just now, she felt very unfamiliar. It was still him, but he seemed different. It was as if he had become another person.

“It’s indeed different,” Odalys suddenly said.

Previously, she was only suspicious. She was certain that Sophia had tampered with Finnian just now.

The current Finnian was no longer the same person. Sophia had affected his entire mind. He might even kill others for her.

Therefore, Finnian was now a knife in Sophia’s hand.

He would do it directly if she wanted him to do anything to anyone.

“Ignore them. We’ll eat ours,” Odalys said in a low voice. She stood up and changed her fork.

This matter did not affect their meal. Freya was careless and forgot about it after sitting down. She even ate quite happily. Stellan and Selah secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they saw it.

Chapter 120

Boom! At this moment, lightning flashed, and it started to rain heavily outside.

“It’s raining.” Freya looked up. The rain pattered on her face. She quickly ran back with the plate. The others also carried the plates and other dishes.

They had just returned to the living room when the rain outside blurred their vision.

“Fortunately, we’re done eating. Otherwise, we would have to eat rain soup,” Freya said with a smile.

She had a cheerful personality and a sweet appearance. When she wore one-piece pants, she looked tall and cute. “By the way, these people next door had just woken up. It’s raining so heavily. How do you think they’re going to settle their breakfast?” Freya was a little curious. When she thought about how Sophia would be hungry, she felt good. Stellan put down the plate and wiped his fingertips.

“If Odalys didn’t wake up early to find food, we would also be hungry,” Stellan said.

His words woke them up.

Freya quickly looked at Odalys and said, “Odalys, when you wake up in the future, call us along. We can’t let you do everything.”

“That’s right,” Selah agreed.

Odalys didn’t mind that, but she nodded and said, “Okay.”

She woke up early and went out to inspect the situation behind the village, so she did not call them.

“It seems like the rain won’t stop anytime soon. Why don’t we play card games?” Odalys suggested as she pulled over a chair.

“That’s right. We can play card games. Although we can’t connect to the internet, we can play it in the un-networked mode,” Freya said as she immediately took out her phone.

Selah and Stellan also sat over.

The four of them played card games. The one who lost had to wash the dishes at night, and everyone was okay with it.

Next door, Group A.

Sophia supported Finnian and returned. When she saw that it was raining outside, she was stunned and said, “We haven’t had breakfast yet, and it’s raining?”

But no one answered her.

She felt a little aggrieved. She turned around and saw Atlas sitting at the side without saying anything.

Sophia walked to his side, gently pushed his arm, and asked in a low voice, “Atlas, what’s wrong?”

Atlas’s eyes were red. He looked up at her, still hating the scene of her wearing sexy pajamas and hugging Finnian in the morning.

“Come with me.” Atlas grabbed her arm.

He dragged her outside and looked around. After confirming that there were no cameras, he let go of her.

He combed his hair with his hand and lowered his eyes in frustration. He looked at her and asked, “Why are you suddenly so good to Finnian?

“And you didn’t put on your underwear this morning. You only wore a nightdress when you rushed in to hug him.

“Is it true that you got a room with Finnian? Did you have an affair with him before?” Atlas felt his chest was stuffy.

He felt terrible when he thought about how someone else had taken advantage of his sister, whom he had protected very well.

Sophia was stunned by his question. Then, she reached out and hugged his neck tightly. She leaned into his arms and swayed her body coquettishly.

She said, “Pfft, Atlas, you’re imagining too much. I was anxious this morning and was worried that something had happened to him, so I rushed in regardless of everything. “Besides, in the entire variety show, the person I care about the most is you. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? I haven’t spent the night outside since I was young. How could I go to a hotel with him?”

Sophia said coquettishly and appeased Atlas with just a few words.

He looked at her coquettish and aggrieved expression, and his anger dissipated.

“You’re not allowed to do this again,” Atlas said as he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He rubbed her hair with his large palm.

Sophia leaned into his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. At an angle he could not see, the corners of her lips curled into a scheming sneer.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Sophia said coquettishly.

She stretched out her small hand and wrapped it tightly around Atlas’s waist.

Her body kept rubbing against his. It looked like she was wheedling, but Atlas’s body was stiff. Then, there was a male reaction.

“Love you,” she said. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Atlas on the mouth.

It was a light kiss, and Atlas lowered his head happily. He watched as she turned around shyly, pushed him away, and ran inside.

Atlas stood where he was and reached out to touch his lips. Her warmth was still on them.

He chuckled softly and turned to leave.

However, he saw the cameraman standing not far away, staring at him in shock. The machine on his shoulder was aimed at him. Atlas stood rooted to the ground in shock.

He strode forward to look at the camera, then back at the photographer.

“She’s my younger sister. She’s a little upset, so I’m coaxing her.” Atlas’s voice was hoarse.

He was starting to panic. ‘If this scene is broadcast live, will others say it’s incest? However, it seems to be too late now.’ On second thought, he felt it didn’t matter.

Anyway, he was not Sophia’s biological brother. If he were misunderstood, he could marry her.

He had never thought of letting Sophia marry someone else and leave the Bennett family. He felt that since the Bennett family had raised her, she would have to stay with them, and it didn’t matter if she was his sister or his wife.

“Of course, I understand,” the photographer said with a glint in his eyes.

Atlas looked into the photographer’s eyes and turned his head guiltily. He pretended that nothing had happened and walked into the living room.

The living room was originally empty. There was not even a seat.

This house looked new, but did not have the liveliness of the dilapidated house next door. Although it leaked out there, at least it was well-furnished. Coupled with the straws Odalys put on it, the rain did not affect it.

They felt a little unbalanced because they had chosen a good house but didn’t even have a seat. Moreover, they slept on the ground.

“I’m going to lie down for a while.” Francis turned around and walked into the room.

Finnian lay on the floor with his body turned sideways. Francis sat at the side and looked at him thoughtfully without saying anything.

Only Sophia and Atlas were left in the living room.

“Don’t worry, we’ll go out when the rain stops,” Atlas said in a low voice.

Sophia’s smile was a little forced. Then, she raised her feet and walked out. She stood there and looked outside. The moment she turned her head, the smile on her face froze. “Why are my clothes in a mess?” Sophia said in disbelief. She took two steps forward and realized something was wrong with her clothes. After showering last night, she washed them and hung them to dry, her underwear at the bottom. But the order was messed up now.

The rope where she had hung her underwear earlier was empty. Her underwear had been moved to the other side.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale. She did not know if her memory was wrong.

‘Did someone touch my clothes? Was it the three people from Group A, or…’ Sophia clenched her fists tightly. She felt a little embarrassed but didn’t know how to put it.

“What’s wrong?” Atlas heard her voice and quickly walked out.

Sophia shook her head and said in embarrassment, “I’m fine. I just wondered if my clothes would stink if it kept raining.”

They looked at each other as if sparks could fly out from their eyes.

The photographer stood in the dark and silently pushed the camera over.
