Chapter 270 Odalys continued , her tone sharp and unwavering , This is the result of your own scheming against Orson , trying to take his place .
You never understood gratitude .
Orson allowed you to return to the Lark family , even providing you with resources and opportunities through the Lark Group .
+13 But instead of appreciating that , you tried to crush him completely .
What youre facing now is exactly what you deserve .
It has nothing to do with anyone else .
She paused , her gaze cold and unrelenting .
Even if you cling to me , it wont change your situation .
And dont even think about dragging the Stewart family into your mess .
You know exactly where you stand .
You followed me , hoping to test the waters ? Let me give you a word of advice .
If you dont , this low point youre in will just be the beginning .
Odalys warned icily .
Finnians aura was clouded , a clear sign that his streak of good luck had run dry .
If he had been kind , done some good , and shown gratitude , perhaps things might have turned out differently , she wondered .
But unfortunately , Finnian neither appreciated nor reciprocated kindness .
Instead , he betrayed it , ensuring that his life would only spiral further downward .
Youre into Star readings , arent you ? You can save others , so why cant you save me ? Finnians voice grew desperate .
Odalys let out a sharp laugh as she slammed her fork down onto the table .
Rising slowly , she locked eyes with him and smirked .
Why should I save you ? When you and Sophia teamed up to plot against me , did you ever stop to think about what kind of situation Id be left in ? she retorted , her voice cutting through the air like a blade .
Finnians face hardened as he tried to justify himself .
But youre doing just fine now , arent you ? And besides , youre not an ordinary person .
Even if something happened to you , it wouldnt be that bad .
If you pull me up now , I might be able to return the favor someday , he added , his tone almost patronizing .
Nobody wins forever .
You cant always count on being this lucky .
The future is unpredictable , and you shouldnt look down on me .
If you help me now , Ill make sure to help you in the future .
Before Odalys could reply , Freya burst out laughing .
She crossed her arms and shook her head in disbelief .
Ive never seen anyone beg with this level of shameless confidence .
Seriously , do you hear yourself ? she wondered .
Her voice grew sharper as she continued , Why would she need you to pull her up ? Look at everyone here .
Any one of us is more capable of helping her than you are .
What makes you so special , Finnian ? Who do you think you are , acting like youre in a position to give her advice ? Freyas words cut through Finnians fragile pride like a knife .
As Finnian turned his gaze to the others , he found no sympathy .
Stellan and Francis barely spared him a glance , their expressions full of disdain .
At that moment , humiliation washed over him in a wave so strong it almost knocked him over .
His voice faltered as he tried to cover his shame .
You all want to push me into a corner ? Odalys , youd better not regret this , he spat .
Finnian had expected that tailing them into the private room and catching them alone would give him a chance .
But now , standing in the harsh light of their indifference , he realized just how little they thought of him .
She spoke softly , His luck is gone .
Sophia must have absorbed it all .
Finnian might be desperate enough to do something extreme now .
As Finnian stormed out , Odalys watched his retreating figure .
Hes beyond reasoning , she thought .
I wanted to snap him out of it , but hes so caught up in his bitterness that he blames everyone else for his own mistakes .
Youre wasting your breath trying to get through to him , Francis said , his voice calm but firm .
The Lark Group abandoned him .
And hes being shut out everywhere .
Hes convinced that you refusing to help him is a sign of contempt .
They could understand it .
6.29 PM Chapter 270 seem like someone whos got a lot of good fortune left .
Selah glanced over with curiosity , clearly intrigued .
Odalys explained in a low voice , Sophia used up her luck during the filming of that show .
If it werent for that luck , Rafael would have raped her back then .
She barely managed to escape every time .
Everyones actions deplete their energy .
Kindness doesnt always bring rewards , but cruelty always comes with consequences , she added , her tone somber .
Some people were kind their whole lives yet received no reward for it .
Some people did terrible things but lived a life full of blessings .
It was all about personal choices .
Every time she deliberately provoked Rafael , she managed to walk away unharmed , Selah said after thinking it over .
She stole the pythons eggs , yet the python didnt devour her .
If it had been any other snake , shed have been eaten already .
The others fell silent .
What Odalys pointed out seemed to make sense .
By the way , when you get back , take time to study the script carefully .
After getting a good grasp of your characters , well set a time to sign the contracts .
As for the shop , theres no need to set up individual private lounges , Odalys instructed .
After finishing their spaghetti , it was already 3 PM .
Francis and Selah hailed a cab to head back to their apartment to rehearse the script .
Stellan , on the other hand , went shopping before heading to the hospital to care for his parents .
Oh , earlier you said you wanted to introduce me to your cousin , but you honestly seem more like an orphan , Odalys remarked , turning toward Freya with a puzzled expression .
Freya , who was busy texting , froze for a moment , flustered by the unexpected comment .
I really do have a cousin .
I was adopted , and officially , I have a cousin .
Hes wonderful , and I think youd be really happy if you married him , Freya explained earnestly .
Not far away , a Maybach approached .
The moment Freya recognized the license plate , she panicked , hastily covering her face .
Odalys , I just remembered something urgent .
Ive got to go ! Freya spun around to leave but hesitated as if remembering something .
She came back , quickly stuffed something into Odalys bag , and then dashed toward her Ferrari , shielding her face .
Whys Freya in such a hurry ? Odalys muttered , confused .
After Freya drove off , Odalys reached into her bag and found several pouches .
Pulling them out , she noticed each pouch had a name on it , Selah , Freya , Francis , and Stellan .
She opened one of the pouches and discovered a card inside , along with a ruby .
What in the world ? Odalys was stunned .
Are you finished ? Percivals pleasant voice came from above her .
Odalys looked up , meeting Percivals deep gaze .
He was dressed in a black shirt paired with slacks , casually standing behind her .
Quickly , Odalys shoved the gifts back into her bag and walked toward him .
Percival , what are you doing here ? she asked , surprised .
Percival turned and opened the car door for her .
She slid into the passenger seat , and he leaned over her to buckle her seatbelt .
Then he returned to the drivers seat , started the car , and began driving .
I just finished up some work and was heading back when I saw you on the side of the road .
I thought Id check on you , Percival explained in his deep voice , glancing her way .
And you ? Are you done with everything ? If so , lets go home , he asked softly .
In the past , Percival was always swamped with work , often sleeping at the office and rarely coming home .
