Chapter 208 Selah , unwilling to be scolded , quickly raised her phone , saying , Here , we have photos and videos .
You kissed , then kissed each others necks , and took off your T shins , The sound of the phone screen flashing the video made them stagger back , shocked .
Seeing this , Stellan wasted no time in striking the final blow , To avoid disturbing you , we had to stay in the shadows , didnt want to ruin your fun .
We know you were just sneaking around outside , having an affair , and didnt show ourselves .
Is that a problem ! Plus , wasnt it you , Sophia , who called us over in the first place ! Odalys threw the spotlight back on Sophia .
Sophias face turned pale , and her lips moved , wanting to explain .
But it was too late for words .
Finnian lunged forward , attempting to snatch the phone , but Stellan swiftly blocked him , saying , Youd better not touch our people .
Or dont blame me for getting physical , Stellau added , pushing Finnian away .
Atlas was livid .
Delete th those photos and videos , or Ill send you a lawyers letter , Atlas threatened .
But no one took him seriously .
The footage had already been broadcast ; what did it matter now ? Keeping it could serve to embarrass them again in the future .
Fine , were waiting , Odalys said with a smirk .
They turned and walked away .
Back in their room , they slammed the door shut .
The lock had been kicked in , but they pushed furniture against it to ! keep them from following Atlas , we should head back Sophia said , pulling Atlas toward the exit .
Finnian gritted his teeth , shooting her one last look before turning to leave .
Meanwhile , from a distance , Rafael , standing in the shadows , watched everything unfold .
His legs were weak , and he whispered to himself .
This woman is truly terrifying .
I never imagined none of us could stand against her , Rafael muttered , immediately turning and fleeing .
He feared Odalys , worried she might have him marked .
If that happened , hed be in serious trouble .
Even though he wasnt married , he didnt w want to end up castrated .
A mans dignity still mattered .
As Rafael escaped , two figures stood beneath a tree , observing everything Father , looks like this woman is something else , the middle aged man .
that had transpired .
murmured The old mans gaze shifted away thoughtfully , replying .
The Stewart family treats her with great respect .
She was able to quickly neutralize the poison in you .
She even restored the tendons Id severed in an instant .
People like her are not easily defeated .
This mess tonight was started by that woman .
She wanted to set a trap for her , but in the end .
Odalys turned the tables on her .
This woman is highly intelligent .
Looks like the Stewart family never intended to harm us .
If they dal , we would have been dead by now .
The old man continued , his voice low but filled with certainty .
The middle aged man , hearing this , quickly supported him .
Father , should we cooperate with the Stewart family ? The old man did not respond , instead raising his foot to head back .
It seemed that Rafael had already been subdued by Odalys .
Everything appeared to be under her control , as if shed orchestrated it all without lifting a finger .
People like her were not ones to be challenged ; they could only be followed , or else the consequences would be grim .
The tragic death of their family members in the past night just be the opportunity they needed .
After the they left , Sophia and the others still stood in place .
What happened ! Didnt you say you were confident ? Finnian questioned , stepping forward .
He could no longer trust Sophia .
She had pushed him further down the abyss time and time again .
Now , just looking at her made him sick .
1/2 Chapter 208 We got played by Odalys .
When I knocked , she deliberately refused to let anyone open the door , making me fear that she wouldnt leave .
I got a little worked up Sophia said , regaining some clarity .
So she used my emotions against me , luring me into her trap .
She sent other staff members first to test the waters , and when I went back in anger , she slipped out She was waiting , trying to see if we were lying to her .
She figured it out from the start and caused such a scene just to ruin you guys , Sophia continued , now fully realizing shed fallen into Odalys trap , but it was too late .
And you said the drug would make her lose her mind when she got close to me why did I mistake Atlas for her ? Finnian demanded, his mind .
racing back to Odalys words from earlier that afternoon .
Shed said from the beginning that once she agreed to work with Sophia , they were tied together .
He still felt uneasy about what had happened .
He hadnt known what he was doing in the moment , and now he realized the drug Sophia had given him had messed with his mind .
It was Odalys pulling the strings in the background .
If you dont believe me , feel free to stay away from me in the future .
Theres no need to keep questioning me , Sophia snapped , her temper flaring as she stormed off .
She didnt want them to hold her accountable for what had happened .
So , she made a show of leaving in a huff , pretending to be angry so they wouldnt press further .
She hadnt yet figured out how to handle them or explain herself .
But one thing was certain Odalis had to go .
She was a disaster waiting to happen .
No wonder the Bennett family couldnt tolerate her .
People like her woul would end up destroying everyone around them .
Lets clear things up when we get back tomorrow , Finnian suggested He still wanted to stay in the circle and couldnt afford to ruin his reputation Atlas said nothing .
He brushed past Finnian and headed straight to Sophias bedroom .
Standing by the bed , watching her lay there , he was silent .
He knew she wasnt asleep , but neither of them spoke .
The seconds stretched on in tense silence .
You knew she wasnt going to show up , didnty you ? You just wanted to provoke her , to get as pawns .
You knew if she didnt show up , Finnian and I would get caught , didnt you ? You didnt warn us when you could have .
et more attention , right ? From the start , you used everyone If you had , we wouldnt have looked so foolish in front of the staff .
But you didnt because you knew wed be embarrassed , and you chose to hide in your room instead , pretending you didnt know what was going on .
Why didnt you warm us ? Atlas voice rang out in the room , filled with frustration .
Sophia remained silent , lying there quietly .
Other than a twinge of guilt , she had no other response , not wanting to argue with him .
She knew that as long as she kept calm , a tear or two tomorrow would make him soften .
But if they started fighting now , it would all be over .
She knew exactly how to manipulate the Bennett family , and dealing with Atlas was a breeze .
Sophia .
Im really disappointed in you .
Youve always played the game perfectly , cleaning your hands of any responsibility , but you forget Im your brother .
Ive gone to war with Odalys for you , publicly acknowledged you as my sister while disowning her .
Ive done all this , and its still not enough ! Sophia , you have no conscience , Atlas said , his disappointment heavy in the air .
With that , he turned and walked away without looking back .
