Well stick to the original route .
That shortcuts ten kilometers longer , Finnian said , watching the road ahead .
Chapter 218 Chapter 218 Atlas had originally intended to follow them , but upon hearing their conversation , he immediately turned and drove back the way they came .
to reach the airport before Group BL He was anxious , his instincts kicking in , and he pressed the accelerator , hoping to Did the Bennett family really abandon her ! Finnian muttered , staring at the news on The officers had confirmed it .
This was no rumor ; it was the harsh truth .
His heart skipped a beat .
He glanced at Atlas and then at Sophia , but neither of them seemed willing to discuss it .
They were avoiding the topic altogether .
Atlas drove faster , and by the time they reached the airport , the place was practically deserted Where is everyone ! Where are the reporters ? Atlas asked , bewildered , pulling into the parking lot .
The airport , a smaller one compared to major cities , was unusually quiet .
There were hardly any people around , and no sign of the media crowding the terminals Did Group B get here before us ? Sophia suggested , voice barely above a whisper .
Finnian and Atlas nodded , taking her words at face value .
They stepped out of the car and headed toward the security checkpoint .
After passing through , they still found no media outlets , no reporters chasing after them .
Sophia felt a pang of disappointment .
She bit her lip , frustration building up inside her .
How could there be no one ? Didnt Twi Twitter just say there would be interviews ? Sophia grumbled .
She was sure that Odalys and the others had arrived .
After the interview , they probably made sure everyone else left , deliberately avoiding being on camera themselves .
Youre talking about an interview ? Is it the one for the variety show ? All the reporters left already , someone passing by overheard and immediately chimed in , eager to gossip .
The three of them froze , standing there in stunned silence as they stared at the person .
It was clear that the person had watched the live stream , but it seemed like they hadnt recognized them A passerby overheard her words and said , I heard Odalys and her group didnt even fly from this airport .
They went to another one instead .
All the people who were supposed to be here went to that one , not sure if theyll make it in time .
Sophias head exploded with disbelief .
She quickly checked her messages , only to realize that Odalys had blocked her long ago .
Frantically , she dialed Kennys number .
After a brief moment , Kenny confirmed it : Odalys had chartered a private jet to a different international airport , flying back without them .
A private jer ? Sophia almost screamed .
Who booked it ? Why didnt they call us ? Why didnt we get a seat ? Her emotions spiraled out of control .
She couldnt believe what she was hearing .
No fans , no interviews , nothing .
The airport was dead silent , and no one even recognized her .
Now she was hearing that Group B had flown out in style .
It felt like a slap in the face .
So , you guys are going too ? Are you all flying back on the private jet too ? Sophia turned to look behind her , only to realize the programs staff were nowhere in sight .
The production team had abandoned them too .
Kenny , whats going on ? You said the seals were limited and we didnt respond to your messages .
But we werent the ones making the decisions about the jet ! Kenny tried to explain .
Sophias grip tightened around her phone .
The thought of flying privately , especially on a last minute chartered jet , was an impossible feat for anyone except someone with immense wealth .
She had no idea how Odalys could afford such a luxury .
Chapter 218 She needed answers .
Who arranged this ! Was it Stellan or Freya ! she demanded , Kenny fell silent for a few moments before finally speaking .
I heard it was Odalys family who arranged it .
Suphia was incensed .
Her family ? Youre lying .
They didnt arrange a jet for her .
If they did , theyd have arranged one for us too ! This is all a lie ! She was screaming now , her throat raw , Kenny hung up on her Shaking with rage , she opened WhatsApp and found a message from Kenny , sent an hour ago .
She hadnt noticed it before , but now it was too late to respond Finnian looked over at her , noticing her growing distress , What happened ? he asked .
I in the car by the programs team .
They hadnt followed them here , but the live broadcast was still Sophias gaze was locked on the camera placed i ninning She turned to them with a frown .
I just got confirmation Odalys family arranged the private jet .
Theyre going back to Crownridge without us .
Finnian couldnt hide his disbelief .
A private jet ! For her ? Who would do that ? Shes broke ! The Bennett Group never paid her , the family never sent her money .
How could she afford a private jet ? Sophias down .
is thoughts spiraled out of control , her heart filled with a deep , bitter resentment .
She wanted to see Odalys fail , to watch her come crashing Finnians s lips parted as if he wanted to say something , but he quickly silenced himself .
The words the Stewart family hovered on his tongue , but he was too afraid to speak them aloud .
Could it be true ! Had the Stewart family really taken such an interest in Odalys that they would arrange for her to fly in style ! he thought .
Look , Atlas interrupted , holding up his phone .
Group B has already arrived at the international airport The viewership was skyrocketing over a hundred million people were watching the live stream of Group B , while their own stream barely had two thousand I dont get it .
Sophia murmured , her mind a whirlwind .
Why does she have to put on a show like this ? She couldnt shake the thought that maybe Odalys did manage to book a private flight , with a dedicated route , no waiting in line , and VIP treatment .
No security checks , no baggage claim just straight through to the exit , where shed be whisked away by a black car .
Sophia clenched her fists Hold on , Atlas said , glancing back at the screen .
Theres still a crowd of reporters After the interview , the reporters made way , and the group walked straight ahead .
Even Sophia was stunned by the treatment .
It seemed like there was someone at the airport specifically there to greet them .
Sophia stared at the screen , her gaze caught by a tall figure standing beside a black Porsche Cayenne , The man was towering , holding a large black umbrella , seemingly waiting for someone The umbrella tilted to one side , obscuring his face , but the watch on his wrist visible just eno enough- -was priceless .
She had seen that watch before ; it was said to be a one- -of a kind , the only one in the world .
Who is this ? Sophias heart tightened .
She watched as the man suddenly stepped forward and walked towards Group B.
They were talking , even taking photos , but once the shots were taken , everyones attention shifted to this figure .
Finnian and Atlas seemed to be watching Group Its livestream , their eyes glued to the figure on the e screen .
Who is he ? The Cayenne hes driving diere are driven it e only i three in the world , Finian muttered instinctively , recognizing it from when Orson had But the one Orson had driven was borrowed from the Stewart family .
