Chapter 30
In contrast, Henry, his face darkened as he watched the scene unfold, gripped the car key tightly.
In the TV. Sophia turned and ran toward Group A’s bonfire, with the wild boar chasing after her, and upon spotting Odalys, she made a beeline toward hier. But right before Odalys, she stopped abruptly and leaped to the side.

As she crashed heavily to the ground, the wild boar charged toward Odalys at breakneck speed, only to be kicked away a
Last moment.
Everyone’s suspended breath was finally released. The atmosphere in the villa was eerily tense.
Hannah had been screaming the last minute but now suddenly fell silent. No one spoke as if somewhat guilty. They wanted to applaud Sophia for leading the wild boar away. But Odalys was their blood–related family.
“Shit! How could Sophia say those things in front of the camera? It’s living, and once those words are out, how will she ever clean her reputation?” Caspian was anxious,
He quickly took out his phone to surf the web, only to see the scenes of Sophia leading the wild boar toward Odalys on
various apps.
Many netizens cut this part out, spreading the short videos everywhere.
Fans of Stellan and Freya had also been inciting conflicts, even posting various videos and photos of Sophia taking photos together.
[Wow, Sophia looks like a hooker.]
[Sophia enjoys ambiguous contact with men.]
[Sophia is a manipulative bitch, aiming to kill Odalys in the show]
[Atlas is brainless; please send him an emergency neurosurgeon.
[What grudge led Sophia and Atlas to plot a boar–assisted murder? Any insiders?]
[I’m begging Odalys to create a Twitter account. I want to follow her.]
Caspian glared at the screen filled with vitriolic trending topics, his anger nearly causing him to hurl his phone. He exclaimed incredulously, “What’s wrong with these netizens? Have they lost their minds?”
“Henry, what now?” He quickly threw the problem to Henry.
Henry sat still on the sofa, staring at the tense scene between Atlas and Odalys. “I’ll go check the contract,” he replied.
“Yes, check the contract right away. We absolutely can’t let Odalys slip out of our control. Once she’s gone, who will be there to highlight Sophia? Caspian echoed instantly, afraid that Odalys would get out of their control.
After all, she was brought back to be a shield for Sophia, a scapegoat. Even with blood ties to him, Odalys was inferior to Sophia, who liked to coax him, while Odalys never would.
“Now that it’s out in the open, it’s going to be tricky. She’s married into the Stewart family in place of Sophia. Although her husband is on his last legs, and the Stewart family certainly won bother with such minor issues, she’s now part of them
“If we bully her too much, they might retaliate against us,” Henry analyzed. As a businessman, he was sensitive to such issues.
Hannah and Caspian were both stunned at his words.

They seemed to have overlooked the Stewart family all along. In their plan, Percival was dying and could be ignored. Once he passed away, they could bring Odalys back to the Bennett family.
At that time, they could ask the Stewart family for some projects. As long as they could push the Bennett family to new heights with the Stewart family’s help, a little patience wouldn’t hurt.
“The key is that Atlas has openly confronted Odalys. Now that everyone knows what happened, it might be hard to keep it from the Stewart family. Maybe we should find an opportunity to bluff our way through with them tomorrow?” Hannah suggested.
Henry’s face turned grim at her words. He stood up, turning to look at Hannah and Caspian.

Do think they would even see us? It isn’t somewhere just anyone can go. With our position, we wouldn’t even get

“Atlas is a dumbass. Even if he wanted to make a move on Odalys he could have done it in a corner where the cameras couldn’t see. Why do it in public?
“Behave yourselves lately, and don’t stick your necks out for them. Our group has been under attack since yesterday. I’ve been investigating all day, but I can’t figure out who’s messing with us.
“Now that Atlas has made it open, everyone knows that Odalys’s contract is signed with our group, and Freya even accused us of bullying Odalys. I’m sure our stocks will plummet tomorrow, and… Henry stopped explaining, his frustration evident as he tossed his car key aside.
Hannah’s face changed dramatically in an instant. “Let’s hire some trolls to clean it up,” she probed. In her opinion, some hired trolls would make things right.
“Clean it up? Freya and Sophia are sworn enemies. Now that Sophia has provoked Freya and her tens of millions of fans, how many trolls can we hire to compete with her? And there’s Stellan.
“Maybe you don’t know much about the industry, but both Stellan and Freya have backers! Once we start an official confrontation, we’ll offend the people behind them.
“Now that we’ve already been attacked, if we were to provoke the people behind them, making enemies everywhere, the Bennett family will be finished.” With that, Henry strode toward the second floor.
Desperate, Hannah plopped down on the sofa, yanking off the mask and tossing it into the trash.
“That brat’s trying to bring ruin upon us. When she was born, the fortune teller said she was a jinx. Just half a year after her return, she is bringing about our destruction, she muttered under her breath.
Caspian’s eyes were also filled with hatred. “So, we absolutely cannot let the Stewart family accept her. We need to stir up some trouble to make them believe that she is extremely cunning and that it was she who replaced Sophia in the marriage.”
Finishing, he picked up the car key and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious and dim study filled with shelves of rare books in the Stewart Mansion, a tall man sat in an exquisite office chair, his deep eyes fixed on an iPad nearby.
“Mr. Stewart, Mrs. Stewart seems like a fighting pro, Callum commented.
Seeing her slaughter the boar, he gasped. Never did he expect that she could fight so well besides healing patients.
Her dashing stance was something even he couldn’t manage, yet the efficiently stabbed the boar to death. Thinking of this, Callum couldn’t help but shrink his neck and glance at Percival subconsciously.

When his gaze landed on the scene in the livestream where Ails fiercely rebuked Odalys, his slender fingertips stiffened on the table, and with a slight tap, the nearby coffee cup cracked, spilling coffee onto the table.
Callum quickly grabbed some tissues and wiped the table.
“Dig up dirt on these people, the more, the better. Percival ordered, emotionless..
With that, he stood up slowly, turning off the livestream on the iPad at the same time.
“Mr. Stewart, do you want to expose their dirt? Callum asked quickly.
Percival strode out, not even bothering to look back as he replied, “Hold onto it for now,”
“Yes sir.”
