Chapter 238 They knew everything about the artists schedule the exact times , the people they met , their next stop , what car they were taking , even the license plate number .
It was all laid out in meticulous detail .
If the person meant well , it would be one thing , but if they had darker intentions , it would be too easy to destroy you They could even make you disappear Wiltrare .
Once the police started investigating they could always claim you had something to do , somewhere to be .
Who would suspect the people closest to you ! During this time , they could clean up everything , leaving no evidence behind .
If it comes to that .
Ill rent a place next to the police station .
That way, if something happens , I can call for help immediately .
Francis mulled over his thoughts his voice tinged with fear .
He couldnt trust the bodyguards .
How could he be sure they werent on the other side ? And the idea of being carved open alive , with his organs stripped away that gruesome scene was enough to make his blood nun cold .
Its not that complicated .
We just need to turn the tables on them , Odalys said calmly .
Francis , your phone has a tracker , right ? Lets lure them out and let them expose themselves Freya and Selah exchanged quick glances .
We need to charge your phone , though .
If things go sideways , we need to capture everything on video to expose them Freya said , her voice low While they were discussing their next steps .
Sienna , who had just st fallen asleep , suddenly woke up Even Dangelo , who had been unconscious , stirred .
The pain was unbearable , but he said nothing , just listening to the conversation around him .
His eyes fell on Odalys , a mix of emotions in his gaze .
He couldnt hold it in anymore and coughed , a sharp sound that interrupted the rooms tense atmosphere .
Stellan , his eyes wide in relief , turned around to find both of his parents awake , looking exhausted but alive .
His eyes welled up , and he rushed forward .
This is Ms.
Stone , right Dangelo raised a hand , stopping Stellan in his tracks .
He remained still , not wanting to aggravate his injuries , his expression unreadable as he regarded Odalys Ive heard him talk about you before .
He warned me to stay indoors .
I thought it was just superstition , but now .
His voice trailed off .
When everything went wrong , he ran over , gave me a talisman , and said it would protect ine .
I saw it with my own eyes when the explosion happened again , that talisman shielded me from the flames .
Dangelos voice softened as the weight of the memory hit him It was you who saved me and my son .
If you hadnt given me that talisman , I wouldve died .
And Stellan he might not have made it either .
The gratitude was clear in his voice , and the depth of the situation settled over the room like a heavy fog .
Dangelos sharp , businesslike mind had come to realize the gravity of what had just luppened .
Stellan , Odalys saved our lives , both me and my son .
Remember this .
If she ever needs help , no matter w when or where , you stand by her .
She gave us a second clunce , and thats something we can never repay easily .
He paused , then reached for his phone .
How much did that talisman cost ? Ill pay y pay you back .
Unfortunately , his entire body ached so badly that he didnt even have the strength to hold his phone .
Odalys watched as Dangelo woke up .
Though he was covered in injuries , his spirits seemed intact .
Only then did the weight in her chest begin to Odalys sl ys shook her head , her voice steady .
Mr.
Drake , no need to worry .
Stellan already gave me 15 million dollars in advance .
Ive accepted it .
The words were simple , but the effect was immediate .
Francis froze , his face blank as far scrambled to transfer more money .
He quickly typed in a million dollars , his hands shaking slightly .
Odalyss phone buzzed with the incoming transfer .
She glanced at the screen , confused by the sudden generosity .
She turned to look at Francis , who looked a little embarrassed , scratching his head nervously .
1/2 Chapter 238 You show me divination and now youre offering money to save me ? This is life saving money , isnt it ? Francis said , trying to keep his tone light .
though it was obvious he was feeling the weight of the situation .
Odalyss lips twitched , but she didnt respond .
It was the rule ; no refunds for divination services Coughing again , Dangelo tried to speak but was interrupted by a fit of violent coughing Stellan , watching his father struggle , hesitated .
He knew the pain Dangelo was in , but there were bigger issues at hand .
Dad , please rest .
Ill have the doctor come in to check on you Dangelo , ever the businessman , took in the situation quickly .
Call the family bodyguards .
I trust them more than anyone else right now .
Theyll be more reliable than any hired help .
Odalys shook her head .
Mr.
Drake , please rest .
Well handle the rest .
Fair enough , Dangelo said weakly .
Her silence was all the answer he needed it was a no .
Dangelo gave her a once over , but there was s something about her he couldnt quite decipher .
Stall , he chose not to press further .
After Stellan finished making arrangements , he and Odalys turned to leave .
Meanwhile , Sienna , who hadnt fallen asleep , broke the silence .
That Odalys is quite remarkable , she remarked .
I heard she was abandoned , she added in a lowered voice .
Weve got people in the police department .
From what Ive gathered , it might have something to do with the Bennett family , Dangelo frowned at the mention .
The Bennett family ? As in Bennett Entertainment ? The very same , Sienna confirmed with a nod .
Dangelo stayed quiet for a while , despite the pain wracking his body .
A seasoned businessman , he wasnt one to let discomfort cloud his judgment .
My injuries wont heal overnight , so youll handle the family matters for now .
Spread the word from now on , anything related to the Bennett family is to be completely severed , he instructed with cool precision .
Your cousin works at a bank , doesnt he ? The Bennett family secured a loan through him , right ? Come up with a reason and have him reject any further requests .
Odalys saved our lives this is a debt we owe her , Dangelo concluded firmly .
Got it , Sienna replied before sighing Its just astonishing how were my daughter , Id never let her go .
utterly foolish Hannah was to throw away such an incredible daughter .
If Odal The irony wasnt lost on her after all , their similar names had once been a running joke in their social circles .
As they spoke , Odalys and the others left the hospital , heading for a remote part of the countryside .
They arrived at an old , dilapidated villa Freya looked around , feeling a chill .
Where are we ? she asked , her voice uneasy .
Odalys didnt respond immediately .
Lets go inside .
Francis , keep your phone on .
We need them to track us .
They walked toward the villa , and Odalys kicked open the door with a force that sent it flying open .
She stepped inside , scanning the room with a keen eye .
The corner , once hiding a body , was now Well , this is interesting , she said with a cold smile .
w empty .
