Another netizen wrote: What could possibly be the deep–seated grudge that Chloe held against Gabrielle? I couldn’t help but wonder… Is this jealousy!
While the fans were engaged in a lively discussion, Benjamin also hurried over.
From a distance, he saw Chloe fall to the ground, a trickle of fresh blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. He hurriedly rushed forward with large strides. As he was helping her up, he overheard Ryan say, “Ms. Seavers was knocked down by a wild boar. Is she injured?”
When Benjamin heard that she had been knocked down by a wild boar, his face instantly turned pale.
Just a moment ago, he had seen Gabrielle in a struggle with a wild boar from a distance. A blaze ignited continuously within his heart. Without hesitation, he swiftly moved forward, forcing his way through the crowd.
“Gabrielle, did you do this on purpose! You lured the boar over and then used the fight as a chance to seriously injure Chloe? She’s so kind–hearted. What could she have possibly done to offend you? You’re planning to use the show as a platform to make things difficult for her, aren’t you? Do you want to stir up trouble? Don’t forget about your contract. It’s signed with Seavers Group. You’re an employee of our company,”
Everyone was taken aback, completely unprepared for Benjamin’s sudden outburst.
Upon seeing the situation, Brendan immediately stepped in front of Cabrielle, fixing a cold gaze on the man before him. “Benjamin,” he said, “before you start hurling insults, perhaps you should get your facts straight. It was Chloe who lured the wild boar here, clearly intending to use it to attack Gabrielle, Gabrielle risked her life fighting a wild boar to save us. It’s hardly fair to tarnish her reputation now, is it? Or are you suggesting that just because you’re a Seavers, you can disregard all reason? There are many witnesses here. You alone cannot distort the truth, Brendan said coldly.
Benjamin felt somewhat ridiculed by his words. It was a blow to his pride.
“Brendan, don’t think that just because you’re in the same group, you can be accomplices, Benjamin said through gritted
teeth
He hadn’t expected that someone would actually stand up for Gabrielle.
“Accomplices, huh?” Nadia, in a fit of anger, rushed forward, seizing Chloe’s arm without a second thought. Regardless of any injuries Chloe might have, Nadia dragged her over.
With a firm grip, she swung Chloe over, pushing her right in front of Benjamin,
“Come on! Cisloe, do you dare to swear to the heavens and earth? Did you intentionally lure this wild boar over here? If you dare not admit it, doesn’t Team A have a photographer? Let’s see the footage. I’m curious to see, in the recorded video, where the pig came charging from and who intentionally lured it over. I know you, Benjamin, are nothing more than a lapdog. biting people without reason! We’re all human, here for the same variety show. You do your thing, and we’ll do ours. There’s no need for our paths to cross. Now, you’re here, deliberately slandering and using some contract to justify your actions? Just because Gabrielle signed a contract with you, does it mean she deserves to die? Does she have to stand here, waiting to be trampled by a wild boar? How much did your company pay her for the contract? Is it a top–tier contract? If I remember correctly, she’s just an extra. I’ve seen her running errands for you on set, even fetching you coffee. Is this amount of work meant to kill her?” Nadia retorted coldly.
Benjamin’s lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a single word.
He had no idea how Gabrielle had managed to convince these people. He was aware that there were people behind Brendan. However, no one in the circle dared to provoke Nadia, yet nobody knew what her true identity was
Ar that moment, Benjamin snapped back to reality, feeling a pang of regret for his impulsive behavior just moments ago.
The live broadcast is still going on. I bet people are going to tear me apart!
“Mr. Seavers, did you think the kick I gave you was too light? You cornered me at the restroom door as soon as we boarded the ship, threatening me with that contract. They signed me on for an eight–month trial period, promising compensation for my efforts. I was fine with working like a slave. Now, the contract will end after half a month. After we finish the variety show, our contract will end just in time. Don’t use the contract to guilt–trip me! You don’t call the shots here.”

The image of her fiercely plunging a dagger into the wild boar’s neck came to mind. He felt a slight chill creep up his neck and subconsciously shrugged his shoulders.
“From the time you. Chloe, and Caleb started the variety show, you’ve been constantly causing trouble for me. Gabrielle said coldly. “Do you think I won’t dare to expose your deeds”
As soon as her words fell, a flash of murderous intent surged within Benjamin’s eyes.
Suppressing his inner rage, he turned around and grasped Chloe’s wrist, whispering. “Let’s go.”
“Ben, I was wrong… Chloe sobbed, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll apologize to her. Don’t let my mistake ruin your mood.”
The more she showed her vulnerability, the greater the fury grew within Benjamin.
However, with so many people around. he couldn’t put Gabrielle in a difficult position anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to quell the consequences.
Previously, it was assumed that by arriving on the island, control over Gabrielle could be established. Unexpectedly, she had managed to break free from that control.
No, he absolutely couldn’t allow her to leave the Seavers family.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Gabrielle was coerced into marrying into the Zechman family just the day before, severing all ties with the Seavers family. He appeared to deliberately overlook this fact as if it didn’t exist at all.
A netizen commented: I had a hunch before, and now it seems like Gabrielle really does have Benjamin wrapped around her finger.
Another person wrote: What kind of leverage made him run off in such a hurry? I have a hunch that he must have done something wrong. Could it be as serious as murder, arson, or even assault?
Someone wrote: Haha, those two sneaky schemers ran off in such a huff. What a relief!
Another netizen wrote: We’re craving for some gossip. Gabrielle, please spill the tea!
Someone commented: Brendan and Nadia are so cool! They face everything head–on, and their protective love for each other is simply endearing
The Seavers residence, Drocver.
As night fell. Marilyn sat in front of the television with a face mask applied enjoying some fruits as she watched the live broadcast. She was eager to see how her daughter and son were faring after just arriving on the island.
Unexpectedly, she saw a wild boar appear, which gave her quite a fright.
“Felix, come quick! There’s a wild boar. How on earth is there a wild boar in a variety show?” Marilyn was quite frightened, calling out in a hurry.
Felix was walking over with a cup of coffee when Zachary just happened to return from outside. Lately, it seemed like all of the Seavers family’s businesses were facing obstacles. Despite being incredibly busy and stressed, he couldn’t figure out what the problem was
No sooner had he returned home than he heard his mother’s voice. He quickly made his way to the couch and sat down. “How could there possibly be a wild boar? Does the production team just sit around doing nothing?” Felix was also quite startled, his coffee spilling onto the ground as he held it in his agitation.
Their attention was constantly fixated on the live broadcast
Chloe was seen continually stepping back. She suddenly murmured something under her breath. Then, she began charting with Benjamin, discussing whether they should lure the wild boar toward Gabrielle.
Marilyn paused, taken aback.
She didn’t expect Chloe would say such a thing. Her lips moved slightly, but the words that reached her mouth were

a wild boar,” Felix said, a hint of pride in his voice.
