Chapter 144 Odalys placed her fingers gently on his wrist to check , then slowly slid them over , examining his hand .

After a moment , she spoke .

This injury … its probably been around ten years .

Your finger was broken once , and since it wasnt treated , it healed improperly , Odalys said quietly .

She lightly tapped the finger that had once been broken , and the elderly man tensed up .

His usually calm and indifferent expression shifted slightly , revealing a flicker of something che in his eyes , Its getting late .

Brandon said , retracting his hand .

If youre done , please leave .

Odalys smiled faintly , then turned to leave .

But as she was about to step away , she seemed to remember something .

She glanced back at him thoughtfully , then said , If you want your finger fixed , 1 can reset it for you .

After breaking your fingers again and reconnecting them they will heal , though slower than it would for a younger person .

** Your tendon can still be reattached , she added , then turned and walked away .

Brandon sat there , stunned by her words , watching her leave with the others .

His eyes became distant and deep , lost in thought As the gate to the courtyard closed .

Odalys voice reached him once more .

Im staying at the production teams house at the edge of the village .

Ill be here for five more days .

So , if you want to treat your hand , come find me .

As soon as she finished speaking , the gate slowly closed , blocking her from view , Brandon remained seated , staring after her .

A strange seemed to rise in his eyes as he whispered .

Who exactly is she ? *** Is it a coincidence , or he murmured to himself .

emotion He remembered her saying that her method could heal his injury and that she knew exactly what had happened to him .

His fingers trembled slightly .

Her words about leaving in five days echoed in his ears , and suddenly , Brandon struggled to sit up from the lounge chair , his steps unsteady It seemed as though he wanted to follow her , but after taking a few steps , he stopped and glanced back thoughtfully at the room .

Libis Chuck- 6:33 PM ₫ Chapter 144 * Standing there in the dark , he remained frozen , staring into the pitch black night .

His expression shifted from excitement to despair and then settled into a vacant , emotionless stare .

He stood like that until his figure drowned into the night Meanwhile , Freya jogged ahead before turning around to walk backward , glancing at Odalys .

I heard the production teams equipment suddenly broke down .

I wonder if well be able to continue the live broadcast tomorrow .

If the machines are down , well probably have to leave early and wont stay here for the full five days , Freya said in a low voice .

Odalys chuckled softly .

The machines arent broken .

Theyll probably be fine by tomorrow .

Really ! You can tell that just by looking ! Freyas eyes lit up .

She looked at Odalys with admiration , almost rushing to give Odalys a hug .

Odalys smiled without responding .

In reality , when everyone first entered the courtyard , she had already drawn a talisman and discreetly placed it on the caremas screen .

see or hear anything .

When the production team returned to check , they Unnoticed , the screen went black , and the live broadcast viewers couldnt se wouldnt find any issues with the equipment .

An hour later , the talisman would vanish on its own .

So , there was no way they would find any malfunction with the machines .

Odalys had made sure no one could learn what had really happened inside the courtyard , If Brandon really was connected to the Stewart family , and he was the one collaborating on custom clothing for them , there were definitely secrets that needed to stay hidden , secrets that no one else should uncover .

With this thought , Odalys smiled faintly .

Are you tired Oh , Im really exhausted .

My back is killing me .

I just want to lie down now Selah complained , rubbing her back .

Stellan gave Odalys a thoughtful look but said nothing .

*** Alright , lets head back to rest .

Well try to wake up early tomorrow Odalys said quietly .

The group walked briskly back , humming a tune from time to time .

When they returned to their quarters , they sensed a tense atmosphere coming from Group A.

Finnian and Francis sat by the door , not saying a word .

Adas leaned against the wall , scanning the room , a and Sophia was the only one missing- 6:33 PM Chapter 144 *** What are you staring at ? Atlas snapped , his eyes locking onto Odalys as he felt their gazes on him .

He was arrogant and easily offended , unable to handle feeling wronged .

Today , Odalys slapped him twice and then completely ignored him , which made him feel suffocated He just couldnt figure out why she had changed like e this .

Odalys used to be nothing like this .

Youre so full of yourself .

Freya retorted , unable to hold back from firing back at Atlas .

Freya grabbed Odalys and began walking back toward the room .

As they entered , the door slammed shut with a loud bang , causing Atlas to tremble with rage , his hands shaking in anger .

Atlas clenched his teeth and muttered to himself , They must be doing this on purpose , right ? Group B is trying to push us down .

We have to beat them tomorrow .

However , Francis and Finnian didnt respond to him .

They just stood silently , looking out at the night .

Then , without a word , they turned and headed toward the room .

Hey ! Why arent you saying anything Youre just going to watch as Group B steps all over us ? Atlas growled , his frustration mounting .

He had expected them to stand by him , but instead , they turned their backs and walked away .

Atlas quickly followed them , but Francis spun around , giving him a dismissive look .

Bennett , the way you talk , it sounds like youre trying to rally a bunch of people to your side .

Instead of preaching to us , why dont you go talk to Sophia ! Maybe you should tell her to stop causing trouble and stop dragging us down .

Weve been getting so much criticism because of her .

If she ends up getting us all in trouble , were all going down with her .

*** Self awareness is important .

Group B handles their own business without bothering us .

What right do you have to accuse them of doing this on purpose ? *** We couldve worked hard together and beaten them , but what have you done ? What has Sophia done ! All youve done is blame others , but what have you actually done ! ** And lets not forget , you two were the ones who caused that mess .

Since youre so fond of making trouble , then I really dont want to be associated with you .

Francis spoke coldly , his voice full of disdain Francis had never liked Atlas , not understanding why Adas was so blind to what was happening .

3/4 Chapter 144 You Allas was at a loss for words , ds , his fac himself back from lashing out .

face burning with embarrassment .

He stood there , grinding his teeth in frustration , barely holding same way .

If Sophia hadnt tampered with my coffee , making me feverish and Finnian spoke quietly , his tone decisive .

I feel the sam dehrious , I wouldnt have been tricked into causing that mess Luckily , nothing happened to Group B.

If something had gone wrong .

I wouldve been the one responsible .

Theyre being generous by not holding me accountable .

If you think Sophia is in the right , then we wont be associating with either of you Finnian immediately distanced himself from Atlas and even tried to find a way to make things right with Odalys .

But he felt powerless , his heart heavy with guilt and frustration , Have you all been enchanted by Odalys or something Atlas couldnt believe it .

The words spilled out before he could stop them
