Chapter 324

Odalys wouldn't interfere with the fates of others. Oliver's organs had been targeted by his ex-girlfriend and manager before. Odalys said, "Francis, be careful. The blood Oliver vomited indicates he's seriously ill. His organs are damaged, and he'll likely try to replace them. You were targeted before, proving your body is a desirable target. If he targets you again, it will be very dangerous."

Francis felt his scalp tingle, his body stiffening. "What should I do?" he croaked.

He'd thought staying abroad, away from his agent and ex-girlfriend, would solve the problem. He hadn't anticipated that his good health would make him a constant target. He wished he hadn't focused so much on his health.

"Give me your hand," Odalys said.

Francis's eyes lit up. He eagerly extended his hand. Odalys applied a strange medication to his palm and withdrew her hand without comment. Francis stared at his palm, rubbing it repeatedly for reassurance. He knew better than to ask questions.

The others did the same, understanding Odalys' methods. They acted as if they knew nothing.

"Alright, thank you for your help today. Let's call it a day," Odalys said, standing to leave.

The others were stunned and followed her. "We're closing already? We've only been open two hours," Selah said, dumbfounded. She expected a busy day, but they'd only done a few star readings, chatted, eaten, and drank coffee. "I've never seen a company so relaxed," she added.

Odalys chuckled. "Ten star readings a day is all we do. Besides, who said we weren't doing anything? Didn't you two go to an audition and get a contract yesterday? You also chose a good day for your production launch! All you have to do is wait for the launch and start filming. When you film, the company will"

"Besides," Odalys continued, "we are Mage Entertainment. Magic is in the star readings and energy fields; entertainment is you guys acting! And don't you share the remuneration from your contracts with me?"

Freya looked at Odalys with admiration. She'd never seen anyone run a company so effortlessly.

"Aren't you planning to sign any other artists?" Freya asked.

After they left, the door automatically locked. This wasn't necessarily a good thing; Odalys didn't have the energy to manage more people. She'd heard that the energy held at the orgies conducted near her mentor's mountaintop residence in Crownridge was the strongest in the region. The orgies repelled Glover when he visited her mentor.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Selah asked.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked out. They saw Dorian waiting respectfully outside, clearly expecting Odalys.

Hearing their voices, Dorian turned. Seeing Odalys, he stepped forward and whispered, "Mrs. Stewart, are you finished?"

Hearing him call her "Mrs. Stewart," everyone was surprised except Freya. Remembering the private jet and motorcade, they didn't ask anything. Odalys had mentioned being married; she had no need to create hype.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Odalys asked, surprised to see Dorian.

She saw him holding his phone, his expression unnatural. "What's the matter?" she asked softly.

Dorian hesitated. He'd been distracted all morning, and Percival suggested he talk to Odalys.

"Mrs. Stewart, I can't accept this! I'm almost sixty, and I was deceived by a good-for-nothing! I can't stand it," Dorian said. Although in his fifties, he was well-maintained and looked younger. He'd been with Evander since the army; Evander had saved his life. Dorian felt his life belonged to the Stewart family. This humiliation felt like a slap in their face.

"Mr. Stewart asked me to come to you. It's up to you to decide what to do. I'm not reconciled. I want to do something. Is it possible?" Dorian asked respectfully.

Freya was surprised by Dorian's respectful attitude. He was fiercely loyal to the Stewart family and wouldn't humble himself for outsiders. "They want to scheme against you? Then we'll beat them at their own game," Odalys whispered.

"Beat them at their own game? Can we help?" Selah asked excitedly. They hadn't started filming, so even if they went back now, they’d have plenty of time.

Seeing Odalys, Dorian gritted his teeth. "I was tricked. Someone tried to swindle me out of thousands of dollars through an online romance scam."

"Dorian, you're telling me you fell for an online dating scam?" Freya exclaimed.

Dorian's face turned crimson. "I felt bewitched. I don't know why, but I wanted to keep chatting. Now, something feels very wrong. Why would a man my age feel such a strong urge to connect romantically online?" He wasn't a lovesick fool; he'd even considered leaving the Stewart family for this woman.

"You've been possessed," Odalys said.
