Chapter 335
“Odalys, you bitch! You have to marry him, as I said! Did you really think I brought you back to the Bennett family so you could enjoy life?”
“You filthy good-for-nothing from the countryside! Letting you stay in the Bennett family will only pollute the air.”
“You shameless girl! How dare you eat our food? The food in the Bennett family isn't for you! Get out! Get out!”
“Mom! Why is Odalys looking at me like that? Does she want to kill me? It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for you guys doting on me, Odalys wouldn’t…”
“Odalys, you bitch! If you weren’t still useful, I’d have sold you off by now!”
“Mom, isn’t this simple? Let her marry in Sophia’s place. Once her husband dies, we’ll bring her back. There’ll be plenty of men willing to pay for her. We’ll auction her off, let them spend thousands of dollars for a night with her. She’ll sell like hotcakes.”
“If she dares to refuse, just drug her. Worst case, inject her with something addictive. When she’s hooked and penniless, she’ll crawl back to us on her knees,” Hannah added coldly.
Their vile words and smug expressions were all captured in the video, now playing for everyone to see. Instantly, the entire Bennett Villa fell eerily silent. Even the Bennetts hadn’t expected Odalys to have recorded everything.
“Odalys! You dare record us in secret?” Hannah’s face twisted in shock. She had thought that playing the victim would absolve her of guilt, but she hadn’t expected Odalys to counter with such damning evidence.
Odalys said, “It wasn’t secret. This is just the Bennett family’s daily life. You not only plotted against me but also planned to inject me with drugs to control me and sell me to men for your own profit!” Her voice was laced with contempt.
Atlas’s face darkened. He stared at Odalys, his lips trembling as if trying to form words, but he swallowed them instead. Stumbling back a step, he collapsed to the floor. Caspian’s words from earlier echoed in his ears, warning him not to do something he would regret for the rest of his life.
In disbelief, Atlas turned to Caspian and asked quietly, “Caspian, were we… too much?” He had never thought of himself as wrong, but as the video played, a wave of nausea swept over him. The Bennett family suddenly seemed unbearably vile. Seeing their faces from an outsider’s perspective, he felt an unexpected sense of shame and regret.
Odalys broke the silence. “So, the Bennett family is the reason I ended up like this. When I was little, you tried to abandon me, even kill me. Now that you’re in trouble, you want to use me.”
She declared, “Let me make this clear to everyone here and to all the media. I have long severed ties with the Bennett family. The disownment agreement was signed by them. The fact that they tried to harm me is undeniable. If anything happens to me in the future, it will be the work of the Bennett family. No matter what the Bennett family does, it has nothing to do with me. I refuse to let my name be dragged into their affairs ever again.”
As Odalys spoke, her tone grew colder. Then, she laughed. Turning to Hannah, she pulled out another document. “After I was abandoned, someone secretly filed a case on your behalf. The statute of limitations hasn’t expired. I am now officially suing Hannah and Windsor for child abandonment.” She slammed the legal document down in front of Hannah. “Get ready for prison,” Odalys said coldly.
The room was deathly quiet. Even the reporters held their tongues, focusing on documenting every moment of the live broadcast. That night, the livestream had 200 million viewers. Initially, most logged in to watch the Bennett family’s humiliation. But when Odalys appeared on camera, the numbers surged by an additional 300 million people. The audience came for Odalys. Her popularity was undeniable, and her legion of fans grew even more. Some admired her resilience, some were captivated by her beauty, and others sympathized with her plight, betrayed by her own family. No matter the intent, this incident skyrocketed to the top of the trending charts once again.

The Bennett family’s notoriety now surpassed any previous business success they might have achieved. Their name was utterly tarnished.
Suddenly, a group of furious women barged in, causing chaos outside. “Bennetts! Come out!” Reporters instantly turned their cameras, rushing outside to capture the commotion. Some pressed their lenses against windows, determined to keep live streaming.
Odalys turned slightly, seemingly unaffected by the chaos. Freya quickly grabbed her arm. “I’m fine, don’t worry,” Odalys said softly. Selah observed her closely. Seeing her calm demeanor, Selah exhaled a sigh of relief, reassured that Odalys was truly unshaken.
“How could you plot against your daughter? Do you even know what drugs can do? And you wanted to inject them into Odalys?”
“If Odalys doesn’t want to be your daughter, we’ll take her! From now on, she’s our national sweetheart. If you don’t love her, we will!”
“Exactly! And you, Sophia, you little tramp, playing innocent while sleeping around! You didn’t even spare Henry. You’re all despicable!”
The women hurled their accusations while pelting the Bennett family with eggs. These shareholders wanted to get up and run, but a woman rushed forward and punched them.
“You ruin women, then go after men. It’s scumbags like you who ruin society!” Another woman shouted as she joined in, punching and kicking the fleeing shareholders.
Frederick tried to escape but stumbled and felt dizzy. With a loud “thud,” he fell, landing heavily on Sophia. Sophia shrieked, nearly coughing up blood from the impact. Her chest throbbed painfully as she struggled desperately, but Frederick landed on top of her, his hands beginning to grope at her clothes. Sophia froze, realizing he wasn’t unconscious but deliberately pressing against her to take advantage of her.
“Don’t move. My needs might be already used. The Stewart family won’t spare me, so let me enjoy myself for once,” Frederick muttered.
“Oh my god! You’re disgusting, right in front of everyone!” someone exclaimed as they noticed the scene. Everyone was stunned, even the Bennetts forced to look. They saw Sophia being pinned under Frederick, their bodies pressed scandalously close.
