“Do you assume the wind will pick up just because you say so? Before I came, I checked the weather forecast and my brother also confirmed with the weather bureau. There won’t be any wind, let alone tsunamis or earthquakes, for the next half month.. It’s completely safe,” Chloe said.
Subsequently, she took out her phone and handed it to Patrick.
“Mr. Nicolson, take a look. This is a message from the weather bureau,” Chloe said, handing her phone to Patrick. She then deliberately moved closer to the cameraman, and the camera immediately panned to her phone screen.
Upon seeing that. Patrick gave a cough. “Since the weather bureau said there’s nothing to worry about, there’s likely no cause for alarm. However, since Gabrielle expressed some concern, we should stay alert, just in case. It’s always good to be prepared.”
He then called out to the other staff members, saying, “Everyone, pay attention. If the weather changes later on, we need to ensure our safety.”
Hearing that, Chloe, who was holding her phone, paused for a moment.
She assumed that by undermining Gabrielle, she could embarrass the latter and in turn, boost her own image.
Unexpectedly, Gabrielle didn’t get angry. Moreover, Patrick even took her words into consideration. This made Chloe so frustrated that she wanted to stomp her feet, but she dared not show it in front of the live camera.
Chloe forced out a smile and said, “It’s better to be cautious.”
She reached out, intending to pull Gabrielle back. Yet, Gabrielle turned and left, not allowing Chloe to touch her.
Chloe, grimacing, glared at Gabrielle’s figure, wishing she could tear the latter apart on the spot.
Netizen A: What is Gabrielle doing? Is she trying to show Chloe her displeasure?
Netizen B: She’s a mere extra, a low–tier actress, yet she has the audacity to overstep her bounds. How despicable.
Netizen C: No wonder she doesn’t even have a Twitter account. She’s probably too unrefined, always wanting to be the best and fearing that haters would tear her down.
Netizen D. Actually, the weather on the island is indeed unpredictable. Gabrielle is right. It’s always best to be prepared, just in case. I’m all for Gabrielle’s perspective.
Inside the live stream, the fans immediately started arguing-
Patrick was observing the interactions within the live broadcast room. He glanced up at the sky, remarking. “It’ll be even better if the weather poses a problem. Unexpected incidents can spike the show’s popularity as long as no lives are at risk”
Despite what he said, he dared not let others hear.
Not far away, Nadia, carrying her luggage, waved to Gabrielle as she disembarked from the ship. “Gabby, over here.”
“Nadia, let me help you.” Jennifer offered. She walked toward Nadia, intending to assist her with her luggage
With a dismissive wave of her hand. Nadia said, “It’s fine. I don’t have much stuff. I can carry them myself.”
Brendan remained silent, carrying his belongings as he disembarked from the ship. He stood a short distance away, waiting patiently.
Gabrielle disembarked from the boat, a bag slung over her shoulder and another small luggage bag in hand. Her steps were brisk, almost as if she was riding the wind, and in just a few strides, she had walked away.
Meanwhile, Chloe was taking small, measured steps, trailing behind. Benjamin was carrying her luggage for her, while Caleb held her makeup bag
“Slow down.” Benjamin followed behind, cautioning Chloe as if he was afraid she might fall.

Their luggage was abundant, creating a stark contrast with Gabrielle’s situation

Netizen A: Are they on vacation? Aren’t they supposed to be going to a deserted island? Yet, they’re even bringing along an LV bag
Netizen B: Why would she wear a P–neck camisole to a deserted land? Does she think there aren’t any mosquitoes around? Or maybe the thinks her chest as large and wants to show it off to everyone.
Netizen C: Oh, my. Chloe is just like a true lady. The feeling of being protected by two men is amazing. How adorable!
Inside the live stream, comments were a mixed bag. Some were disparaging, while others were filled with envy.
However, once the boat reached the shore, the crowd found that their phones had no signal. They were unable to see the comments in the livestream. Only the production crew had access to these.
Patrick trailed behind, standing in his spot with his hand raised. “Now, you’ll be divided into two groups, each consisting of four members. You’ll be living independently on the island. As for how you’ll manage, that’s entirely up to you. The production crew won’t be intervening. You only need to focus on living your life. The film crew will follow along, but we won’t interfere with any problems you encounter. You’ll have to handle everything by yourselves. Also, Gabrielle mentioned the wind might pick up. Despite the weather forecast indicating everything is normal, everyone should still exercise caution. I hereby announce that the variety show has officially begun. From this moment on, your phones won’t be able to connect with the outside world, but you do have access to an internal network. You can communicate with each other. I’ve already set up a group chat, so you can discuss any issues there.”
After Patrick finished speaking, the crew immediately moved off to the side..
The guests, carrying their luggage, began their journey toward the heart of the island. At first, the path was relatively smooth. However, as they ventured further, they found themselves surrounded by an overgrowth of weeds.
“D*mn it. Is this a primeval forest? It looks untouched,” Benjamin said, staring at the scene before him, unable to believe his
At first, the production crew hadn’t specified which island they were going to. Everyone assumed it was a holiday resort island. However, after they witnessed the scene, a chill ran down their spines,
“There’s no path left. How are we supposed to proceed?” Chloe was dumbfounded.
The elegant demeanor she had been maintaining previously was on the verge of crumbling.
After being adopted by the Seavers family, she was raised with immense love and care, never having experienced hardship. Even when she joined the film crew, there was always someone assigned to cater to her needs. The sight of the chaotic forest frightened her, causing her to shrink back.
“Everyone, put on your jackets to ward off the mosquitoes,” Gabrielle said at that moment.
She pulled out the sun–protective clothing she had prepared earlier and put it on. Nadia and Jenniter also hurriedly took out their light jackets. Following them, Brendan quickly put on his clothes as well
“Really?” Caleb said, a bitter taste lingering in his heart.
From dawn till now, Gabrielle hadn’t spared him a single glance. It was as if they were complete strangers. Recalling the slap she had given him the previous night, Caleb still harbored resentment in his heart. Last night, she had intentionally tried to embarrass me. Had I not made a quick escape, my scandal would have been exposed today.
On the boat, Calela deliberately took photos of Chloe. While admiring her enticing pose, he intentionally moved closer. assuming that Gabrielle would come forward in a fit of jealousy. However, after waiting for two hours, Gabrielle remained unfazed, even as they were embarking now.
Deep withus, Caleb felt a sense of imbalance. Yet, in front of the camera, he could only bear it stoically
Looks like there’s a wind picking up tonight. We need to find a campsite quickly or we might be in danger,” Gabrielle uttered. Her words left others feeling somewhat uneasy.
Nadia quickly moved closer to her, whispering. “Is the wind picking up? We should hurry, then. If we’re near the shore, the waves might sweep us away soon.”

Upon seeing the situation, Jennifer instinctively looked toward Ryan. He was avoiding her gaze, protectively standing by Chloe’s side, suggesting. “Ms. Seavers, would you like to wear my jacket?”
As he spoke, he passed over his own jacket.
