She saw Gabrielle holding the neatly arranged straw mats, tying them together at the seams. Then, on both sides of the roof, she weaved the straw into long ropes, looping them around to secure them.
In the end. Brendan was tasked to gather some stones and use them to hold it in place.
“Okay, it’s settled.” Gabrielle declared before leaping straight off the roof.
“Ah!” Upon seeing the situation. Nadia and Jennifer rushed forward, intending to catch her. Unexpectedly, Gabrielle stood firmly on the ground, her legs not even trembling the slightest.
Over at the neighboring side. Tristian stood in the darkness, watching Gabrielle’s silhouette.
“Is she really that amazing?” Tristian was somewhat taken aback.
When he first saw Gabrielle at the airport, he dismissed her with contempt, assuming that her popularity was merely the result of media hype. However, he was surprised to find out that she was actually quite skilled.
Judging from hertomposure while handling the situation earlier this treman is definitely not ordinary.
“Luckily, we chose a decent house. Otherwise, tonight would have been tough.” At some point, unbeknownst to him, Caleb had come to stand by his side.
He watched Gabrielle’s figure with a complex gaze, feeling a hint of sourness in his heart.
Benjamin got up to shower inside the living room, leaving Chloe alone.
She watched the cameraman walk away, announcing he was off to the bathroom. The tension she had been feeling finally eased. Quickly, she got up and rummaged through her bag, pulling out an item. After lighting it, she tossed it into a cup.
What is she up to? What did she just burn?
I rewind it, and it seems to be a sigil paper. Could I have mistaken it?
What is she up to? I have this vague feeling that something is off.
Does she really think there are no surveillance cameras just because the cameraman has gone to the bathroom? Has she not learned her lesson from last time on the deserted island, where hidden cameras were everywhere?
The online community was taken aback. Everyone was captivated by Gabrielle, and as they snapped back to reality, they discovered, to their surprise, that Chloe was actually burning a sigil.
Everyone fell silent, watching as she burned the sigil and tossed its remains into a cup. She then poured water into the cup and carried it out. There, she saw Caleb and Tristian standing side by side.
She stood there, lost in thought, then turned around to pour another glass of water. Holding it, she walked out.
*Have some water. Don’t catch a cold,” Chloe advised, handing over the glass.
Tristian took the water but didn’t drink it. Caleb took a sip from his glass, finding the taste somewhat bitter. He furrowed his brows, asking, “What is this?”
“It’s black tea–good for preventing catching a cold,” Chloe said softly.
Upon seeing the situation, Caleb noticed that Tristian’s drink seemed slightly off. He was about to discard it when he caught sight of Chloe’s pitiful gaze fixed on him.
“Is it because I’m the one who poured it so you won’t drink it?” Chloe asked, her lips quivering as she stared at him, tears welling in her eyes.
Tristian, don’t drink! There’s something wrong with the water.

ashes into the water. They were too frightened to say a word.
With a move like that, even hiring a million ghostwriters could not save her reputation.
Outside the room, a dim light was cast.

Initially, Caleb had no intention of drinking. However, upon seeing her in this state, he inexplicably picked up the water and drained it in one gulp.
“I know you are the best,” Chloe said, hastily reaching out to take the empty glass after he finished drinking.
She was terrified he would notice the dust at the bottom of the glass.
“I think I’ve caught a cold. I’m going to rest,” Caleb said as he turned and walked inside.
Since there were only two rooms, the girls slept alone while the three guys squeezed into the other room. The house had no furniture, so they had to sleep on the floor.
“Mr. Dominguez.” After watching him leave, Chloe turned to look at Tristian.
Tristian took a half–step back, watching her with a hint of caution.
“It’s not appropriate for a single man and woman to be alone together. You should probably go back,” Tristian suggested, setting his cup aside.
Turning around, he walked toward the tiled house next door, which appeared to have been given a fresh new look.
“It’s quite impressive,” Tristian said, a hint of disbelief in his voice. “When I first arrived, it seemed quite old, but after this makeover, it’s like a brand new house. Besides, it won’t get too hot inside if it’s sunny during the day.”
Initially, Brendan had no intention of paying him any mind. However, upon hearing his words, he shrugged his shoulders.
“Our goddess has made her move–totally crushed you guys,” Brendan said as he stepped inside.
Tristian wanted to follow, but he was held back by an outstretched hand.
“Sorry, it’s quite late now. We’re not able to receive guests,” Brendan stated.
Tristian stood there, gestured with his hand, and said, “I’ll come back tomorrow then.”
As he spoke, he started to walk away. The sky flickered with continuous flashes of lightning. After a few resounding booms, it was as if the lightning had split the sky, and in no time, a torrential downpour arrived.
Upon seeing the rain, the production crew immediately packed up and left.
The furniture inside the worn–out room was surprisingly complete. Three girls squeezed into one room, reserving the smaller one for Brendan. However, they all shared the same bathroom.
“Brendan, you can shower first,” Gabrielle suggested.
Brendan lowered his gaze, noting the grime on his clothes, but he didn’t fuss about it.
“Sure. I’ll go first, then,” Brendan said, picking up his luggage and heading into the room. He grabbed his clothes and headed straight for the bathroom.
Gabrielle and the other two returned to their room and flopped straight onto the bed.
The bed, measuring 2.1 meters, was just the right size to accommodate three people.
“We can finally sleep together again,” Nadia said. She wriggled around like a playful kitten, pouncing on Gabrielle and pinning her down on the bed.
Resting her chin on Gabrielle’s body, she cupped her face with both hands, rubbing it gently as she commented, “Your skin is

Gabrielle lay there, feeling somewhat helpless as they rubbed her face. She said, “You touch my face. You take responsibility”
“Haha” The two laughed as they continued to press on, only for Gabrielle to suddenly turn the tables and knock them over. scaring them enough to jump off the bed and run around barefoot, seeking a place to hide.
“You’ve got the guts to tease me, but now you’re running?” Gabrielle asked as she chased after them.
Jennifer and Nadia huddled together, collapsing onto the ground and holding their stomachs from laughing so hard they could hardly get up.
*Stop. Give me a break. Haha.” Nadia quickly waved her hands.
Gabrielle was staring out the window when a figure darted past, moving incredibly fast.
However, she was sure this person was neither from the production crew nor Team A.
What the hell did I just see? Is someone peeping from outside the window?
A figure darted past Could it possibly be a pervert?
Did Gabrielle notice it? I saw her looking out the window. I hope she will stay alert.
Good heaven: I was almost scared to death. On a night filled with flashes of lightning, someone’s peeping through the window. Mom, please sade me. I’m scared
The hidden cameras in the room scanned it in a full 360–degree sweep, constantly monitoring. They only stopped recording when they were changing clothes or sleeping, remaining on at all other times.
This way, they could ensure their belongings wouldn’t be tampered with and also guarantee their safety.
However, the production crew didn’t inform the guests about this matter. Everyone assumed there were no cameras in the room. Only Gabrielle, with a glance, knew where the hidden cameras were located.
“Gabby, what are you looking at?” Nadia noticed her odd expression and quickly got up from the ground.
