Chapter 239 When she had gotten Sophias hair earlier , she had performed a ritual in the dead of night , using the energy of her hair to trace the aura bound to The moment she broke the opposing formation , the backlash hit him hard .
In that brief moment when the old man was spitting blood from the backlash , she struck , ending his life without hesitation .
With his death , Sophia lost his power , and her appearance changed .
Her once graceful features now seemed hollow , her entire aura now a shadow of her former high society elegance .
This was why she was in such a hurry to deal with Finnian , to siphon some of his huck and energy to restore her own .
And now , using Francis , she was bold enough to bring everything into the open .
It was all part of her plan to use this villa , to pull the threads and follow the clues until she exposed the enemy , leaving them no room to escape .
This place is creepy , isnt it ? Do you think its haunted ? Selah asked with a shiver , her voice full of unease .
Freya , equally unnerved , grabbed her arm and whispered .
Dont say things like that ! Its freaking me out .
Stellan , however , w was more focused .
As he checked the doors and windows , he raised an eyebrow .
This villas layour is a little odd .
How so ! Francis asked , half distracted but still curious .
Stellan surveyed the space and pointed toward the windows .
There are eight of them , but each one is different .
When we were filming , I saw something similar a formation The setup was close To this one .
Im not sure if its a coincidence , but look the arrangement of these chairs is also octagonal , perfectly aligning with the windows He gestured to the living room .
Odalys raised an eyebrow , surprised .
She hadnt expected Stellan to apply his filming knowledge in this situation .
Yes , this is definitely a formation .
During the day , sunlight gathers in this spot , and at night , it gathers moonlight , she added , her tone more cryptic .
It was clear to her now : someone had been using this place for rituals , sitting in the center , drawing power .
The old man who had died here had been seated there when she ended his life , his blood staining the ground where he fell .
With a cold smirk , Odalys turned and led Selah and Freya toward a side room , her voice steady .
Stellan , come with us Okay , Stellan replied , puzzled but following Francis was about to follow , but before he could take a step .
Odalys turned sharply , pushing him back .
He stumbled a few steps , unable to react before she slammed the door shut behind him .
Francis lips moved as if to speak , but the sound of an engine revving outside cut him off .
prople stormed in , led by none other than his Francis Where the hell have you been ? Weve been looking for you all day and night .
Youre hiding here ?? The manager , wearing a hat and sunglasses , marched in with a haughty air .
Behind her stood a woman in a white Sophia dress , her eyes swollen and red from crying .
She looked at Francis with a tragic expression , biting her lip as tears streamed down her face .
I knew you were avoiding me , didnt I ? You were hiding from me on purpose because I went to the airport to pick you up , right ? You went off to do a variety show , and now youre s seeing someone else ! Is that it ! You think Im no longer good enough for you , right ? Thats why you wont even reply to my messages , wont answer my calls , and now youre holed up here by yourself ? Ive been with you for over six months , I even quit my job to be by your side .
And now youre just going to throw me away ? The womans voice cracked as she look a step closer .
Francis instinctively stepped back .
Once , he would ve felt protective toward her , seeing her as fragile , but now , all he saw was something twisted in her eyes eyes that , despite their bears , were full of coldness , Ive already told you were not right for each other .
I broke up with you .
What more do you want from me ! Francis rubbed his temples , trying to stay calm 6:20 PM ₫ Chapter 239 Before she could respond , several tall , imposing men walked in bodyguards , by the looks of them .
They stood by the door , blocking his escape Are you planning to force me back ! I told you , I dont want to be with you .
I wont marry you either , Francis snapped .
Dont forget , youre my manager , but Im on vacation .
Im not obligated to participate in anything you want me to .
The managers lips curled into a smirk , and she calmly removed her sunglasses .
Crossing her arms , she looked at him with disdain .
You really think youre some big shot now , dont you ? I made you into an international model , and now youre acting like youve made it ? If it werent for your body , do you think Id be running around after you , putting in all this work ? Have you even looked in the mirror lately to see what youve become She sounded exasperated .
Francis was silent His fists clenched involuntarily as he glanced toward the room where Odalys and the others had gone .
Go check in there , the manager barked .
As if on cue, the bodyguards stormed toward the door .
Francis tried to stop them , but they were faster , kicking the door open .
The door slammed open , and the bodyguards searched the room before turning back .
The rest of the bodyguards filed in with the same report , The villas been checked .
No ones here Francis heart skipped a beat .
Though he trusted Odalys and the others , a lingering fear still gripped him .
They had no obligation to protect him .
If they wanted to run , it would be understandable .
But he couldnt shake the feeling that hed been caught off guard before he even had a chance to react .
In the midst of his internal turmoil , his phone buzzed .
He looked down and saw that Odalys had just received the a million dollars hed sent her earlier .
His breath caught for a moment .
Before he could process the shock , the bodyguards seized him , holding him still as his phone was snatched away by his manager .
Her eyes widened when she saw the transaction on on his scr You were still thinking about sending money to someone else right before you die ! The managers face flushed with rage .
The woman in the white dress stepped forward , wiping away her tears .
She looked at Francis coldly .
So , you really were cheating , huh ? But thats fine .
You wont be around to regret it .
Since youve betrayed me , your death wont even make me feel guilty , she said , her voice void of any emotion .
The bodyguards held Francis tightly as he struggled , his shin ripping off to reveal his toned abs .
His lips moved , but all he could think of was the woman he once loved who had now turned into a stranger , full of venom .
What do you want from me ? Are you doctors ? What is this ? Are you going to kill me ? Francis shouted as he fought back with everything he had .
