Chapter 29
[What was exactly going on between them that Sophia had to go against Odalys? Is she jealous of Odalys?]
As the fans chattered away, Atlas hurried over.
Seeing Sophia sprawled on the ground from afar, with a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, he quickly strode forward and helped her up, only to hear Lucian say, “Ms. Bennett was knocked down by a wild boar. Is she okay?”
Upon hearing this, Atlas turned livid in an instant.
As he recalled how Odalys battled the wild boar earlier, a fire ignited deep within him, and he immediately pushed through. the crowd.
“Odalys, did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately lure the wild boar here and then severely injure Sophia with the excuse of fighting it? She’s such a sweet girl. What exactly did she do to displease you?
“You want to target her with the show, and you want attention, don’t you? Don’t forget your contract is signed with the Bennett Group! You’re an employee of mine,” Adas roared.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting him to suddenly target Odalys.
Stellan immediately stepped in front of Odalys, glaring at Atlas. “Before you start hurling insults, Atlas, please get the situation straight. It was Sophia who led the wild boar over and intended it to attack Odalys.
“Odalys almost died fighting the wild boar to save us. Now you’re trying to smear her. Are you serious?
“Or you think you can be unreasonable just because you are a Bennett? So many people present witnessed it; it’s not something you can twist around,” Stellan said coldly.
Never expecting someone to speak up for Odalys, Allas felt his pride stung by the words, retorting through gritted teeth, “Stellan, don’t think that you can conspire together just because you’re in the same group.”
“Conspire?” Freya, seething, stepped forward and grabbed Sophia’s arm, dragging her over and throwing her forcefully in front of Atlas, regardless of any injuries she might have.
“Come on! Sophia, do you dare swear to God that you didn’t lure this wild boar over? Group A has a photographer, right? Let’s check the footage from the camera to find out where it came from and who lured it over.
“Atlas, you are just her lapdog who bites people for no reason! Wre all here to participate in the variety show together. You play your games, and we do our things; we’re completely unrelated.
“Now you’re here slandering Odalys, and you bring up some contract to play with words. Odalys signed a contract with you. so she deserves to die? Does she have to stand there and get mauded by the wild boar brought in by Sophia?
“How much did you pay her? Was it a top–tier contract? If I remember correctly, she was just an extra, and I’ve seen her running errands for you, buying coffee in the crew.
“Is such a payment really worth taking her life?” Freya retorted coldly.
Atlas’s lips moved, but no words came out.
He had no idea how Odalys brainwashed these people. It was only known to him that there was someone behind Stellan, but no one in the circle dared to mess with Freya. And nobody knew what her true identity was.
At this moment. Atlas was suddenly wide awake and a bit regret for being too impulsive just now. With the livestream still going on, he was probably going to be roasted online.

“Mr. Bennett, do you think the kick I gave you was too soft? You were blocking me in the bathroom when we first got on the boat, threatening me with the contract.
“You signed an S–month probationary cooperation with me, said it was compensation, but ended up making me work like a maid. Forget it. I’m fine with that. Now, there’s only half a month left until the contract ends.
“After we finish the variety show, the contract will expire. Don’t try to use the contract to guilt–trip me! You don’t get the final say here.” As Odalys spoke, she stepped forward..
At the sight of the bloody dagger in her hand, Atlas took a hesitant half–step back. Recalling how she fiercely stabbed the wild boar’s neck with the dagger, he felt a vague chill on his neck and subconsciously shrank his shoulders.
You, Sophia, and Finnan have been causing trouble for me since the start of the show. Do you think I won’t expose your dirty laundry?” Odalys sneered
The sentence sparked instant hatred in Atlas’s eyes. Biting back his fury, he turned and grabbed Sophia’s wrist, saying in deep voice, “Let’s go.”
“Atlas, it’s my fauk. I’ll apologize to her. Don’t quarrel for me. Sophia sobbed, her voice trembling.
The more she feigned weakness, the greater the fury in Atlas grew. Yet, with so many people present, he couldn’t make -things harder for Odalys any further, or the consequences would be beyond his control.
He had thought that once they were on the island, he could have his way with Odalys, but never did he expect her to slip from his grasp.
He swore inwardly that he would never let her escape from the Bennett family. But he forgot that Odalys was forced to marry into the Stewart family yesterday and no longer had anything to do with them.
He seemed to deliberately ignore this as if it never happened.
[I always thought there was something fishy, and now it seems Odalys has some dirt on Atlas.]
[What kind of leverage could make him flee in panic? I bet he must have done something wrong–murder? Or rape?]
[Lol, what a sight! Did you see how the two bitches run away?]
[Give me more gossip, please, Odalys! More juicy news!]
[Stellan and Freya are fierce! They go straight at Atlas head–on for Odalys. So sweet!]
The viewers watching the live couldn’t stop praising Group B.
Meanwhile, it was late at night at the Bennetts‘ villa in Crownridge. Hannah sat in front of the TV with a face mask on, snacking on fruit while watching the live, eager to see how her daughter and son were faring on the island
To her shock, a wild boar appeared, scaring her out of her wits.
“Caspian, come here! A wild boar! How could there be a wild boar in a variety show she was so scared that she shouted out.
Hearing her, Caspian walked over with a cup of coffee while Hery happened to return from outside. Recently, all of the Bennett family’s businesses seemed to be facing obstacles, leaving him overwhelmed yet unable to pinpoint the issue.
He heard Hannah’s shout right upon his return and quickly sat down on the sofa.
How come? What are the program staff doing?” Caspian was also frightened, the coffee in his hand spilling onto the floor.

Their attention remained fixed on the live. They watched as Sophia kept retreating, whispering something, then discussing with Atlas whether to lure the wild boar toward Odalys,
Hannah paused upon hearing her. She hadn’t expected Sophia to say that; her lips moved, but the words were forced back down her throat
“So typical of Sophia, a smart cookie! She knew that Odalys came from the mountains and, even if injured by a wild boar, wouldn’t die,” Caspian, however, applauded triumphantly.
