Chapter 325

The moment Odalys finished her sentence, everyone fell silent, their shocked gazes turning towards her.

Uklalys said, “Someone has been manipulating you. They must have used a charm or something to disrupt your energy field, leading to a sudden change in your thoughts and making you easy to control.”

“They are just trying to use you to get information,” Uklalys continued.

Dorian listened, his eyes red with anger. He stamped his feet. “Who is this person? I’m going to kill them!” he said through gritted teeth.

Odalys looked at his angry face, then turned and walked towards the company building. She opened the door and entered, followed by the others.

The group sat on the sofa in the living room, the atmosphere eerily quiet. No one spoke.

Dorian said seriously, “Mrs. Stewart, what should I do? We can’t let anyone walk all over us! They can insult me, but they can never look down on the Stewart family!”

“They must be trying to find out about the Stewart family! We can’t just let this go.”

His words silenced the others even more. The Stewart family was a particularly sensitive topic in Crownridge. Everyone knew Dorian was from the Stewart family. When Percival had picked up Odalys earlier, she’d called his name in front of them. Yesterday, when she went to the hospital, they knew Percival was with her. So, the man who appeared with Odalys was Percival. The people present knew Odalys was married to Percival, who was recently rumored to be seriously ill, even dead.

“Send him a message,” Odalys whispered.

Donan was stunned. “Are you sure?” Dorian asked, confused. He really didn’t know what Odalys was up to, but he naturally had no experience in this kind of matter.

“Reveal something about the Stewart Group and lure him into a trap. Didn’t he want to ask you out? Then we’ll go see him!” Odalys said coldly. She thought it was better to confront this person in person and teach him a lesson.

“What if this matter is exposed? I thought the other person was a sexy girl, but they’re a rough man,” Dorian whispered.

Francis grew even quieter after listening. He felt that strange things were happening. He had only read about such things online, but he never expected it to happen around him in real life.

“So what if his disguise is exposed? He brought it upon himself,” Odalys said.

Dorian immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to her. Odalys took the phone, opened the message box, and saw dozens of messages from the scammer. They were all asking Dorian to meet at a hotel. Those mushy words gave her goosebumps.

“Oh my god,” Treya leaned closer, looking uncomfortable. Selal silently hugged Treya’s arm to shield herself from the unsightly words. If the scammer was really a girl, Selal felt she would definitely be a scheming woman.

Chapter 323

Odalys typed and sent the message: "Sorry, something came up at home, so I wasn’t looking at my phone."

As expected, the scammer instantly replied: "Babe, what happened?"

Dorian rubbed his hands nervously. Meeting Odalys’s gaze, he quickly said, “Before I came, Mr. Stewart told me to leave this matter to you.”

“Okay,” Odalys nodded.

After a moment of silence, she typed: "It’s nothing. Something happened at home. I heard that the stock market has been turbulent recently, and Crownridge is in chaos."

"What exactly happened!" The scammer seemed a little excited. He had always wanted to know what happened to the Stewart family, and it was clear that this was what he was after.

Odalys replied: "My employer is not feeling well. Didn’t you watch the news last night? A female member of their family was sick last night, and the family is in a mess now."

The scammer was typing, but no message had been sent for a while. Everyone held their breath, staring at Dorian’s phone screen. Even Dorian’s palms were sweating with nervousness.

The scammer: "Is that so? Don’t be sad, babe. I got us a room! Why don’t you come over so we can have a drink and relax? Anyway, those matters have nothing to do with you. I just want my little baby to be happy!"

He immediately sent a photo and a location: "I’m waiting for you in the suite at Monolith Hotel, Room 878."

Stellan stared at the hotel name for a long time, his face turning extremely ugly.

“There’s something wrong with this hotel,” Stellan said.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, obviously puzzled.

Stellan explained, “Many female stars in the entertainment industry were forced into sexual scandals in this hotel. Some even attempted suicide. But after the incident, the hotel’s surveillance cameras conveniently malfunctioned.”

“So many people in the industry avoid it like the plague. Even if they have nowhere else to stay, they wouldn’t consider this hotel. But it’s indeed a high-end hotel, and many people went there for its luxurious appearance.”

Freya nodded quickly. “Yes, something will happen if you stay in this hotel. I heard that a girl stayed in this hotel before, and her door was opened in the middle of the night. When she was taking a bath, a strange drunk man broke in and wanted to take a bath with her. She called the police and found that the man was drunk, so he paid her a thousand dollars to settle it.”

Selal thought of something else as she listened. “Lucian always liked to stay in this hotel before, and I kept asking him why, but he always kept it a secret! Every time he came back from staying there, the company would give him some good resources. I didn’t think about it before, but now it seems that there must be something wrong with this hotel,” Selah said.

Lucian Pierce was the boy who participated in the variety show before. In the end, because he wanted to win Sophia’s favor, he tried to tempt Selal and kill Odalys. Selah didn’t help him, but told Odalys about it. Afterward, Lucian’s attempt to harm Odalys was exposed. After returning from the island, Lucian was immediately arrested by the police.

Hearing her mention it, it took the others a while to realize.

“In that case, there is really something wrong with this hotel. After staying here for one night, Lucian can get resources. Either he participated in harming people, or there is a dirty deal going on there,” Francis analyzed. He couldn’t find a better reason.

Chapter 25

Staring at the hotel’s name, she felt a little dazed. Before her death in her past life, she saw Selah hanging herself after being gang-raped, and it happened at the Monolith Hotel.

I have corrected grammar, punctuation, spelling, and made the text flow more smoothly. Some names were inconsistently spelled (e.g., Odalys/Ordalys/Cadalys) and I standardized them to Odalys. If there are specific names that should be different, please specify. The text also contains some inconsistencies in character names (e.g., Treya/Freya). I have made a best guess correction, but again, if there are differences you want to implement, let me know.
