[Elianna bis /bbso /bdelicate. Even when people are picking on her, she doesn’t get mad and still apologizes. I’m really starting to worry babout /bhow shall fare bfrom /bnow on.]

Someone spoke sense here.

b(/bbI /bbdon’t /bthink that girl did anything wrong. If her words aren’t sexual rumors, then what is?)

That onement instantly set off a wave of bacsh from Elianna’s fans.

[You have ba /bfilthy mind. No wonder everything looks dirty to you.]

[Her words were perfectly fine. You’re the one twisting them into something bad. Are you just here to smear Elianna?b] /b

[Haters, get out of our livestream now.]

Elianna had been in showbiz for years. While she’d never won any major awardsb, /bshe had managed to bag ba /bfew minor ones along the way.

Her acting skills were above average, and the TV dramas and movies she starred in drew an audience, helping her build a solid fanbase.

“I’ll let it slide this time,” Skr said. She had no intention of turning the show into a battlefield on the very first day.

Elianna hurried off with her phone.

Everyone gathered at Elianna’s ce, where the director first had Skr introduce herself.

“Hey everyone, I’m Skr Lambert,” said Skr.

[Lambert? No way. Is she rted to Freya?]

[It’s just a coincidence. Just because she’s a Lambert doesn’t mean she’s the heiress of the Lambert family.]

[Yeah, not just anyone can im ties to the Lambert family.]

Expecting Skr’s appearance on the show would stir up online spection about her background, Freya had people ready to monitor and flood the

Freya watched with a smug smile as the live chat filled with meanments about Skr, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

She was the only rightful heiress of the Lambert family. No one else could im that title.

After Skr got acquainted with the other guestsb, /bthe director had them collect their assignment cards.

Each task card was worth a different number of points. The more tasks theypleted, the more points they earned and the more rewards they could redeem.

The production team allowed contestants to pick as many tasks as they wanted, as long as they could get them all done.

There was another way to earn points by selling the items they collected. They needed three dors to redeem one point.

In rural areas like this, it was impossible to make a fortune by seiling goods. Since they were not professionals, they’d bbe /bblucky /bbto /bdors a day. So honestly, it was much more cost–effective to just do a few more tasks for points.

Victor left the decision to Skr.

Skr picked out a few mountain–based tasks.

Keeping them all in one area saved them from running around everywhere.

There was ba /blot of valuable stuff in the mountains. She nned to use some for her tasks and sell the rest for extra points.

Victor nced at Skr and asked, “Skr, the mountains are crawling with bugs. We might even run into wild boars. You’re not scared, are byou/bb?/bb” /b

Skr shook her head. “Not at all. You scared, Victor?”

Victor said, “Me? Not ba /bchance.”

Walking together, they drew attention everywhere they went.

Standing nearby, Elianna grew pensive after hearing Victor’s words. After ba /blong moment, a faint, almost sly smile curved her blips/bb, /band ba /bdark bglint /bbshed /bbin /bher eyes.

She thought, ‘What a perfect opportunity. The mountains are so dangerous. If anything happened to Skr bout /bthereb, /bno one could bme /bbme/bb. /b

When it was her turn, Elianna followed suit and also chose two mountain tasks.

Elianna shot a nce at her cluelesspanion. ‘Dragging Sabrina along will just slow me downb, /bbI /bneed to find a way to shake iher /iboff/bb,/bb‘ /bshe thought. Elianna put on her sweetest smile and suggested, “Sabrina, let’s take on more tasks. I’ll handle the mountain assignments while you take care of the field work. We’ll split up to cover more ground.”

Sabrina nodded.

Having agreed on a n with Sabrina, Elianna set off immediately.

Elianna couldn’t risk losing sight of Skr. If that happened, her whole scheme would fall apart.

She hurried to catch up and finally closed the gap. Not wanting to seem obvious, she pretended it was a coincidence and followed at a safe distance, close enough to see them, but far enough to avoid suspicion.
