Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Are you out of your mind ? Odalys asked coldly .
Sophias missing , so you should be calling the police , not coming to me .
Whats so special about her ? Do you expect me to keep an eye on her ? What is she to me ? And what are you to me ? Odalys tone was cold .
Atlas was taken aback by her words , his frustration growing .
Furious .
Atlas shot back .
Im your brother , and Sophia is your sister .
Is this how you treat family ? Just because we like Sophia more , youre holding a grudge ? What are you trying to do , destroy us , ruin the Bennett family ? Is that what you want ? You beat Sophia last night and even hurt Henry .
Moms leg was broken .
Im starting to think you were behind that ! Seeing her remain so calm , with no sign of guilt or fear , only made Atlas more angry .
Why is she living the high life while were stuck in this mess ? Atlas thought bitterly , unable to shake the feeling of resentment .
Before , Odalys had been meek and compliant with the Bennett family , always giving .
But since she left , shed turned into a winner in life , while they were all left to deal with chaos .
And that thing you said on that variety show , Atlas continued , his voice sharp with anger .
You claimed our family abused and abandoned you , and even had the cops back you up .
Do you realize that everyone in the industry is now gossiping , saying it was the Bennett family who did it ? Now , people are watching us.
Theyre even questioning if youre really one of us .
He paused , his eyes hard as he wondered , I think she just forces us to take her back .
But Atlas wasnt about to let her come back so easily .
He wanted to teach her a lesson .
All this talk , and you just want to know where Sophia is , dont you ? Odalys raised an eyebrow , unfazed by his accusations .
Atlas felt like hed hit the air .
His anger was building , but she wasnt giving him the satisfaction of a fight .
He couldnt vent his frustration .
Are you going to help us find her ? Atlas asked , suspicion creeping into his voice .
Odalys was being too accommodating , and it made him uneasy .
Ill help , but only if Hannah , Henry , Caspian , and you come with me , Odalys replied .
A sense of foreboding washed over Atlas .
She wants us all to go together ? Is she planning to murder us on the way ? Whats she up to ? he wondered , feeling uneasy .
If you dont want to , then forget it , Odalys added , her tone cold .
Im going to eat .
Move .
Atlas hesitated for a moment before quickly making a call .
He didnt wait long before hanging up and speaking in a low voice .
Theyre on their way You better pray that Sophias okay , Atlas warned , his voice dark .
Otherwise , we wont let you off the hook .
He turned to leave , and Odalys was already dialing her phone .
As Stellan and the others drove out , still some distance from the restaurant , they heard Odalys words and immediately turned the car around to head back .
A black SUV parked outside .
Caspian rolled down the window and looked out at the scene .
Are you sure she wants the whole family to go ? Caspian asked , a slight unease creeping into his voice .
Odalys is always bold with her actions .
If shes making this kind of request , I have a feeling its not a good sign , he thought .
Yeah .
Shell only help if we all go together .
The police havent made any progress .
If something happens to Sophia , the Bennett Groups reputation will be even worse , Atlas replied in a low voice .
Hannah had just been lifted into the car .
Sitting in a wheelchair , she watched Odalys through the window , a flicker of jealousy in her eyes .
Let her get in the car , Hannah said coldly .
1/3 Extra Check in Vouchers Ad Free Reading 8:27 PM Chapter 263 Atlas turned , ready to walk over , but then saw Odalys heading toward another vehicle .
The door opened , and she slid inside without hesitation .
Before he could say anything , the car sped off .
Follow her .
Odalys called out through the open window .
Atlas froze for a moment , then immediately jumped into the passenger seat .
Caspian , she told us to follow her .
Hurry up .
I need to see what shes up to .
Did you call the police ? Hannah asked in a low voice .
Henrys left hand was bandaged , his pain keeping him from moving it .
His right hand held his phone as he spoke quietly , Yes , we suspect Sophia was maliciously kidnapped by Odalys .
The police are behind us .
Lets go ahead , and theyll follow , Henry said in a hushed voice .
At that moment , Henry was exhausted , both physically and mentally .
After his hand was injured last night , he was sent to a small clinic .
There , he was overcharged , 15 thousand dollars just for a bandage and some wound treatment .
He was furious , wishing he could scream out .
In the past , 15 thousand dollars wasnt a big deal to him .
But now , with the Bennett Group on the brink of collapse , he couldnt bear to spend so much .
All of this was Odalys fault .
If it werent for her , the Bennett Group wouldnt be in such dire straits .
Today , Henry was determined to ruin Odalys reputation .
With the police backing them up , if something happened to Sophia , Odalys would be locked up for a long time .
Did you start the live stream ? Hannah whispered , reminding him .
They were using the official Bennett Group account for the live stream , hoping to salvage the companys reputation .
They also wanted to capitalize on the publicity to make a comeback , using the current crisis to spin things in their favor .
Itll start soon , Henry replied .
He had just posted an announcement saying that Sophia was missing and that they suspected she had been kidnapped .
In five minutes , they would begin the live stream with the police , all in an attempt to locate her .
There are already a million people waiting to watch .
Seems like Sophias popularity isnt any less than Odalys , Atlas said , looking at the live stream data on his phone .
They had expected that the Bennett Groups fall from grace would mean no one would care .
But now , with over a million people eager to tune in , it was starting to get interesting .
Do you think this is too harsh on Odalys ? Caspian asked , glancing over at the others while driving .
He had an uneasy feeling about what was happening .
For him , hurting Odalys for the sake of gaining attention might soon backfire and bring them more trouble than it was worth .
Too harsh ? Did she think about how harsh she was when she attacked you guys ? Henry replied coldly , his face dark with anger .
Henry hadnt slept all night because of the pain in his hand .
Now , all he wanted was to take the opportunity to crush Odalys and make sure she could never recover .
Dont forget .
If the Bennett Group goes under , you guys wont have it easy either .
Yesterday , she hurt my hand .
Next time , she might kill you , Henry said , intentionally trying to scare them .
The others fell silent , the gravity of his words settling in .
As the car in front came to a stop , Henry immediately started the live stream .
He turned the camera to himself , his expression somber , Im sorry to be broadcasting under these circumstances , but last night , celebrity Sophia went missing and hasnt returned .
Weve been unable to reach her by phone .
We suspect shes been kidnapped , he said .
The Bennett Group has already contacted the police , and the patrol car is following us .
We invite all of you to witness this with us ⦠will protect Sophia .
The Bennett Group will never bow to evil forces , Henry continued , his voice full of determination .
As Henry saw the viewer count surge into the millions , he felt a surge of excitement .
Together , we 2/3 è¬ 8:27 PM Chapter 263 He set his phone down , allowing the camera to capture the view ahead clearly .
+13 Make sure to point the camera at Odalys later .
Lets solidify the suspicion that shes the one who kidnapped Sophia , Hannah whispered , her voice low .
