Chapter 215
Chapter 215 Odalys was taken aback .
She had planned to find an opportunity to visit the old man , but she hadnt expected Freya to bring it up .
Without hesitation , she nodded , Alright , Youre the best .
Odalys ! Freya exclaimed , jumping to her feet .
She slapped her own backside playfully before grabbing Odalys hand and pulling her along .
As they walked , Freya picked a few yellow wildflowers and tucked them into her hair .
How does it look ! Freya asked , glancing over at her .
Odalys glanced at the flowers Beautiful , she replied .
Freya , not missing a beat , also picked some flowers and placed them in Odalys hair .
Selah , seeing this , followed suit , pinning a couple of flowers .
into her own hair while taking selfies .
Bring your lace closer , she said , grinning .
Cheese ! they all laughed together as they posed for the camera They walked , chatting and picking flowers , while Stellan and Francis trailed behind like bodyguards , silently watching but with distant looks in their It was clear they were both worried about what Odalys had said earlier about what could happen next .
Selah approached the old mans door and knocked .
The elderly man , nervous , looked at his son before quickly opening the door .
He had expected Odalys alone , but seeing the entire group standing there caught him off guard .
He hesitated before asking politely , What brings all of you here ? were leaving .
Freya explained with a sinile .
We couldnt finish all the food , so we brought it to you .
Stellan and Francis entered , carrying the food .
The elderly man didnt seem to be too surprised by their actions , as he knew they would honor their word .
He stood still , watching Odalys with a thoughtful expression .
Dont worry , Odalys reassured him as she passed .
Ill keep my promise .
Wait for my news With that , the old mans tension seemed to ease He had feared that once they left , they would abandon him , but now he could relax .
After a few m more words , the group quickly left .
The photographer stayed outside to respect their privacy , as Odalys had requested .
Once back in the SUV , everyone settled in Francis , you should come with us , Freya suddenly said , breaking the silence .
She knew if Francis went back to Group As SUV , he would be sidelined and left out .
Sophias behavior was crystal clear to her .
Alright , Francis a agreed without hesitation , grabbing his bag g and following them to their vehicle .
Sophia , who had been watching from a distance , couldnt believe her eyes when Francis got in with Freya .
Without even a word , he turned and left her behind .
How shallow , Sophia muttered under her breath .
Now that they think theyve found a better opportunity , they ury just wan want to suck up to them .
People , after all, always wanted to get closer to those who could offer them something better .
Get in .
Atlas said flatly , not engaging with Sophias comment .
He glanced at her face before turning his gaze away .
She had said she wasnt wearing makeup last night , but it was clear she had put some on today .
Chapter 215 the Sophia he remembered .
And somehow , she looked different something in her expression , her appearance it wasnt the S It was almost as if the woman in front of him wasnt the same one he had known before .
The change felt unsettling , but Atlas couldnt understand why.
Am I going mad he wondered .
These thoughts were too strange to make sense of : Meanwhile , Finnan , who had been watching Group H.
, saw Stellan take the drivers seat and was about to step forward when the SUV suddenly revved and speil away .
Are you getting in Sophia asked , her tone slightly inked .
Finnian besitated , but when he saw that Atlas had already taken the drivers seat , he hail no choice but to sit in the passenger seat .
Sophia , left behind in the back , felt a pang of surprise .
They had left her there without a second thought : Alright , guys , the variety show is wrapping up .
Were heading back to catch our flight now .
But on the way , well stream a bit of the scenery for you .
Sophia announced , smiling into the camera .
She adjusted the lens to catch her profile , her confidence radiating as she straightened her posture .
She had deliberately worn a V neck dress that slay to accentuate her curves for the camera , After all , any publicity is good publicity , she thought , already anticipating the attention .
Wasnt there supposed to be a police station livestream ? Finnan suddenly spoke up .
The mention of it made both Atlas and Sophia stillen .
Given that Odalys was the heir to the Bennett family , they were sensitive to such topics .
Fine , lets watch it together , Atlas said , clearly not believing that Odalys would be alkandoned by her family .
He was certain she was lying and wanted to see how she would explain herself .
Feeling a little lighter now , Atlas leaned back in his seat , ready to watch the livestream unfold .
Hack in Group Bs SUV , Stellan drove , while Francis sat beside him .
Odalys , Selah , and Freya were in the back , all pulling out their phones now that the variety show had ended , and the signal had returned .
Quickly , lets watch the police station livestream , Selah urged .
Freya adjusted her camera and said , Lets all watch it together .
If you have any questions , leave them in the comments and well answer them .
Also , our show is almost over , so thank you for sticking with us .
She then positioned her iPad on the seat beside her , ensuring the screen was large enough for everyone to see .
Francis immediately pulled out his phone and started the livestream , while Stellan used his phone for navigation , his attention split .
At exactly 5:00 PM , the livestream from the police station began .
The camera focused on the face of a middle aged man , his badge clearly displayed : Officer Knox Cantrell .
He greeted the viewers .
Hi everyone .
Tim Knox Cantrell , the police officer youve been trying to find since yesterday , Due to a heavy workload and multiple cases on hand .
we worked through the night to revisit the original case .
I know youve all been eagerly waiting for this , and I didnt want to let you down , so I reviewed the case last night and even found the surveillance footage .
Lets take a moment to recall the events together , Knox began .
He paused , then continued , his tone steady but serious , It was the year 1 had just graduated from the police academy and started my first jobs here .
That night was my very first shaft .
I heard crying , and when I went to investigate , I found a man dressed in a magic robe holding a little girl .
He was reporting that the child had been abandoned outside and had nearly frozen to death .
The temperature that night was around -20 ° C , and the child was wearing nothing laut a short sleeve shirt , nearly frozen still .
As Knox spoke , he pulled out the old surveillance footage and opened it , pointing at the screen .
This is the little girl from that night , He clicked on another video and continued , I immediately pulled up the surveillance and spotted a suspicious vehicle .
I asked a colleague for help to track down the owner of the vehicle , and we made a call to contact them .
The video played on , and the clear sound of Knoxs voice echoed from the recording , as he repeatedly confirmed whether the people in question had any connection to the child .
