Chapter 378
The last time Blossom had an interaction with Sophia, Blossom woke up filled with dread. Even though she was awake, the events replayed in her mind like a constant, terrifying dream. If it weren't for Odalys saving her, Blossom didn't dare think about what could have happened.
"Are you fine?" Sophia asked.
Sophia was stunned. "You're my loyal fan, right? You were at my wrap party last time, so how come?" Sophia had never taken these fans seriously. She believed her charm was so great that everyone would like her. But now, Blossom, her supposed loyal fan, was slandering her, and Sophia sensed things were about to get much worse.
Lately, the Bennett family's problems had been too distracting for Sophia to focus on her fans. She always assumed they would continue supporting her, but now her own loyal fan was glaring at her with anger. Sophia felt embarrassed and angrily pulled her hand away.
"Yeah, it's because I went to your wrap party that I almost had my dad give all the family endorsements and other resources to you. I went home and got sick afterward. Shouldn't you explain?" Blossom said coldly.
Sophia was speechless. Blossom's young face was filled with fury and confusion; her gaze was sharp enough to kill. Sophia was shaken by her look. She never imagined that her fan would hate her like this. She couldn't accept it. "Why do the people who love me always end up hating me?" she wondered. "The members of the Bennett family are like that, and now my fan is too. What did Odalys do to make people who like me eventually leave me?!"
"Isn't that how it should be? Since you like me, you should beg me to help your family with endorsements. Call your dad right now. If he agrees, I'll immediately do the endorsement, and the fee will be a million dollars, just for you," Sophia whispered, trying to steady her emotions and feign helplessness. Unfortunately, this tactic no longer worked on Blossom, who no longer cared.
Blossom slapped her across the face. Despite her youth, Blossom was full of fiery passion. At one point, Blossom had adored Sophia so much that she would have offered everything she had. But later, realizing she had been used and almost lost her life, everything changed. The more she thought about it, the angrier Blossom became. She shoved Sophia away.
"What are you doing? How dare you hit me? Do you believe I'll have you kicked out of the fan club? You'll never attend my wrap party again!" Sophia threatened. Sophia couldn't believe what was happening. Her most loyal fan dared to strike her.
"Humph! You nearly cost me my life, and now you still dare to threaten me?" Blossom charged at her.
In the distance, two figures rushed toward them: Harvey, gentle and elegant, and his wife, Celeste. This once-tender family was now pouring all their anger onto Sophia.
"Ah, you dare hit me? Help! I'm going to sue you. I'll call the police! Odalys, save me!" Sophia cried, terrified. She tried to flee, but Celeste grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back. Harvey ripped off his tie and used it to bind Sophia's wrists. "Mini! You dare hit me! Do you know who I am? I'm Sophia, the daughter of the Bennett family! Does the Tillery family want to ruin their reputation in Crownridge?" Sophia yelled.
The more Sophia yelled, the angrier the Tillery family became. As they punched and kicked her, Sophia truly felt fear. She glanced at Odalys, only to find her holding a stone. "What what are you going to do?" Sophia asked, confused. Odalys swung the stone and smashed it into a nearby monitor. The camera immediately went down. Sophia's pupils dilated as she stared at Odalys, and then at the broken monitor.
Chapter 379
"Odalys, I'm your sister, but you actually helped them destroy the surveillance. Are you crazy?" As soon as Sophia finished speaking, Celeste slapped her across the face. The force of Celeste's slap left Sophia's face swollen, and blood began to drip from the corner of her mouth. Blossom kicked her in the chest, watching as Sophia collapsed to the ground.
The family stood there, watching Sophia barely cling to life, and the anger they had been holding in finally spilled out. They exhaled in relief. Blossom seemed to regain her energy. They knew that if Blossom didn't release the anger she had been bottling up, she would eventually become depressed. They had just received a message from Odalys and rushed over in a car to ensure Blossom could let it all out. Seeing Blossom strike someone, they realized for the first time that she was stronger than they had thought.
The Tillery family was strict in their upbringing, and Blossom had always been well-mannered and never resorted to violence. Today was the first time she had ever done so.
"My Stone, thank you for sending us the message. After Blossom released her anger, I truly feel like she's back to normal," Celeste said as she walked over, holding her daughter's hand.
Blossom stood there, gazing at Odalys with admiration in her eyes. She quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Odalys' arms, hugging her tightly. "Odalys, thank you for saving me."
"How do you feel now? Has the anger been released?" Odalys didn't reject the hug, but instead, with a smile, asked.
Blossom's face, flushed with excitement, nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's been released," Blossom said as she raised her fist in the air.
Odalys exchanged a glance with Harvey. He removed the tie that had been binding Sophia's wrists, and once she was free, Sophia struggled to get up.
"Murder! Someone help! The Tillerys are trying to kill me!" Sophia shouted as she ran outside. The Tillery family didn't chase after her, and not far away, some people heard her and rushed over.
Seeing Sophia standing there, disheveled, her face swollen and blood still seeping from her mouth, someone immediately stepped forward to speak up for her, asking, "Who hit you?"
"They did! The president of Tillery Group and his daughter came and hit me. Odalys sent them to deal with me. She's a liar, and she would kill without blinking!" Sophia exaggerated wildly. Sophia wanted to pin a crime on Odalys, hoping to smear her reputation so badly that Odalys would never recover. But as soon as she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
"Are you crazy? Odalys tried to kill you? What are you, for her to lift a finger against you?"
"Do you even know who Odalys is? Last time I went to her company for treatment, I felt so much better the next morning. How could she possibly kill anyone?"
"You look familiar. Aren't you that Sophia who likes to cheat!" someone stared at her, scrutinizing her closely.
Sophia was stunned, quickly covering her face, but everyone instantly spat on the ground, yelling at her, "Shameless bitch! I saw the livestream last"
"Me too. You and some guy were having sex in a barrel, and we all saw it!"
"How can you be so shameless! If Mr. Tillery really wanted to kill you, wouldn't he do it somewhere more private? Do you really think you're someone important?"
