“What’s going on? What exploded? Meghan panicked and hid behind Samson.

Samson brushed off the eggshell and sparks from his body. His face showed panic, but he made sure to comfort Meghan by patting her back. Don’t worry. The eggs exploded. Everything’s okay now?

Meghan was surprised and asked, “How did the eggs explode!”

Samson remarked, “I recall that eggs shouldn’t be heated in the microwave, or they might explode. I didn’t expect them to explode when we heat them over the fire Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Annoyed, Meghan stamped her feet fiercely. “Those four eggs were supposed to be our lunch. Now the eggs have exploded. What should we eat?”

Samson looked unhappy.

Meghan looked at Jolene angrily and asked, “Why didn’t you remind us? You were born in the countryside. You must know this kind of common sense. Did you deliberately not tell us so that I would have nothing to ear

gu would explode…

Jolene shook her head vigorously and said, “No! I didn’t mean to withhold the information from you. I didn’t know the eggi

However, Meghan didn’t believe it.” “Do you think I will believe you? How can you, a peasant, not know such common sense?”

Jolene said, “I have never roasted an egg before. I really don’t know

Besides, life in the countryside isn’t as rural as it once was. It’s not necessary for people born there to engage in farm work, Jolene mused.

Although Jolene was born in the countryside, her family pampered her and seldom let her work.

Her parents mentioned that she just needed to focus on her studies and didn’t have to do any farm work. Besides, she was young and couldn’t be of much help.

Furthermore, she only lived in the countryside until junior high school. To ensure she could get a better education, her parents took out a loan to buy a house in the city, and the whole family moved there.

As a result, she didn’t know much about everyday life in the countryside.

Meghan said angrily. “How dare you talk back to me?”

Jolene shut up and didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Meghan said impatiently. “Dur to your negligence, Sam and 1 have no lunch. Now go to the forest to find food for us. Don’t return if you can’t find anything!TM

Jolene said in panic. 1. Am I going alone! I’m scared

Meghan refuted, “Don’t play the sympathy card here! You were born in the countryside. How can you be scared of going into the forest? Don’t think you can fool me! Are you pretending to be scared to get Sam to go into the forest with you?”

Jolene quickly denied it, “I didn’t…

Meghan sneered. “Stop daydreaming. Who do you think you are to seduce my brother? You’re not even fit to be a housekeeper in our family. Know your placer

Jolene was trembling with anger and denied it, “I have no intention to seduce your brother!”

Meghan said, “If you have no intention to seduce Sam, then go into the forest and find food by yourself. Prove yourself with actions instead of empty words”

ཏེ ན ན ཆོད པ འོན ན ཕ བ ོ ྃ་

Jolene bit her lip.

At last, she walked into the forest alone with tears in her eyes.

“Humph! Do you think you can fool me!” Meghan snorted.

Samson stared at Meghan in disbelief, Anding the person before him unrecognizable.

He couldn’t recognize Meghan anymore,

Is this mean and unruly Meghan my gemile and sensible sister? Yes, Meghan used to be wayward and spoiled in private. But now, she always throws

tantrums and makes a fuss with everyone, as if she has turned into a completely different person, Samson thought.

“Meghan, why did you become like this Jolene is a girl. It’s not safe for her to go into the forest alone. You shouldn’t force her into it. What if she gets lost or something happens? Samson frowned.

Meghan pouted, and her eyes turned red with grievances. “Sam, are you lecturing me for an outsider?”

Samson replied, “What you did was wrong. It is my responsibility as your brother to correct you. Don’t see it as a lecture. Tim only trying to help you.

Meghan burst into tears and sobbed with grievance “Boo–boo, I was left in such a shabby place. My body is covered in mosquito bites. My face is swollen and almost disfigured after being beaten by that mean woman. Evangeline. Half of my tooth is chipped. I slept on the grass at night, and my whole body ached. I haven’t had anything to eat since yesterday morning

She continued, “I’ve suffered so much and was in a bad mood. That’s why I lost my temper and spoke in a had tone. But you lectured me for an outsider and didn’t care alxiut me at all. You have changed…

Meghan cried her heart out.

Seeing her tears, Samson panicked instantly and hurried to wipe them away. T’m sorry Stop crying. I won’t lilime you anymore. You’re always right. It’s the production team’s Cault to make you suffer so much. Others were also wrong. They were not understanding and had no sympathy for your torment. They are all bad guys. When we go back, I will help you get back at them, especially Evangeline!”

Meghan threw herself into Samson’s arms and cried, “Okay You must keep your word. Forget about the others. You shall not spare Evangeline!

the price”

Samson said firmly, “Of course, I’ll make Evangeline pay

Meghan’s eyes became vicious.

‘Evangeline, I’ll make your life a living hell the cursed in her mind.

Ugh, I’m so angry Why is Meghan so terrible! She forced Jolene alone into the forest to find food. If they’re truly in the wilderness, with no production team members secretly removing the danger, wouldn’t she be held accountable for anything that happens to Jolene!) one of the

Is Samson an idiott How could he believe in everything Meghan said?-someone addeil

[Evangeline is his biological sister, I can’t believe he wants to take revenge on her for a fake sister. Is he out of his mind another netizen chimed in.

(That’s disgusting. I suspect there’s something off with the Gallagher family. They all think alike, that’s why they flock together, someone remarked.

I think so 100. Otherwise, why would the Gallagher family support Meghan and plot against their flesh and blood for her sake!] someone echoed

[How does Samson want to get sick at Evangeline‘] someone wondered,

[Did you see Meghan’s vicious smile? It’s sending shivers down my back. It’s horrible.] Here came another comment

[Hahaha, this show has captured her true colors. I’m looking forward to the day when she knows the truth!] another netizen typed

Four hours had passed since Jolene went into the forest, but she still hadn’t caught anything

She wasn’t very physically fit, and it was already an achievement for her to walk in the forest. Even boys couldn’t catch prey, let alone her.

Jolene noticed that it was getting dark. She was afraid of spending the night in the forest and decided to backtrack.

However, she didn’t return empty–handed. She picked up two eggs

Meghan cursed when she saw that Jolene only brought back two eggs. She snatched the eggs and gave one to Samson while Jolene continued to

Jolene didn’t dare to complain.

With the experience from earlier in the day, Samson didn’t dare to put the eggs directly into the fire.

He found a flat slate, placed is on the fire to heat, and then cooked the eggs on it, managing to make them into barely passable fried eggs.

After eating an egg, Meghan was even hungrier.

She shouted angrily, “What’s up with the production team? Why haven’t they come to pick us up yet?”

Samson’s face darkened as well.

He also felt that the production team had gone too far.

‘It’s a dereliction of dury to leave us behind for so long!” he thought.

It smells good.

What is Evangeline roasting?” Meghan smelled the aroma and couldn’t help saying with a touch of jealousy.

Samson’s mouth watered vigorously.

Why didn’t I know Evangeline was so good at cooking before The smell of her barbecue is so good every time and makes my mouth water, she remarked silently

Meghan stood up and said to Samson, “Sam, let’s go and have a look.”

Samson nodded.

The three of them began to walk in the

e direction of Evangeline,

Evangeline’s dinner today was fish.

She caught the fish in the river.

It was a

as a grass

carp weighing at least ten pounds.

She split the fish in two, with half for grilling and the other half for cooking with mushrooms

The aroma of

of grilled fish was tantalizing

around.

The delicious aroma of the food attracted many birds to hover in nearby trees, and squirrels also came to look a

Evangeline was confused.

“Grilled fish is not in the diet of birds and squirrels. What are they doing

how doing here!” she wondered.

Suddenly, Evangeline spotted several uninvited guests.

Samson, Meghan, and Jolene were heading toward her.

Evangeline merely cast a casual glance at them and then ignored them.

The three of them stopped when they were only several feet away from her, with their eyes all fixed on her food.

Evangeline continued her activity, ignoring them.

Since they enjoy watching just let them be, as long as they don’t disturb me, Evangeline mused.

After more than ten minutes, the grilled fish and mushroom fish soup were ready.

Evangeline took out the cutlery, filled a bowl with the soup, and squinted with satisfaction.

It’s so delicious, she mused.

Meghan and Samson gulped at the same time. The swallowing sound was so loud that it even drowned out the sound of Evangeline drinking soup

Evangeline finished the soup and took a bite of the grilled fish.

They swallowed again. The aroma of the food amplified their hunger infinitely.

Seeing Evangeline eating heartily, Samson said, “Evangeline, you cooked so many dishes. You can’t finish them all by yourself. Share some with us.”

Evangeline cut him off bluntly. “Piss of”

Samson said again, “There is so much food. It’s a waste if y

you

can’t eat them all. We should not waste food. I merely want to help your

Evangeline said again, “Piss off!”

Samson was a little unhappy, but he still said in a gentle tone. “Evangeline, we are family. You can’t eat alone. Share some with me

Evangeline sneered. “Don’t try to claim kinship. We are not family. Have you forgotten my warning? Don’t say we’re family if you meet me outside in the future, I feel disgusted.”

Samson gritted his teeth and said, “Til pay for it. Let me and Meghan have some food. I’ll pay you when we get back!”

Evangeline raised her head to look at him with a faint smile and uttered. “Are you serious?”

Samson’s eyes lit up as he thought, Does that mean Evangeline has wavered and agreed to sell the food?

He hurriedly said, “Yes, I want to buy it Name a price. Even if it’s higher than the market price, I can afford it!

Evangeline replied, “That means 2 billion dollars for each of you, 4 billion dollars for both of you. If you agree to it, I will share the food with you”

Meghan and Samson widened their eyes angrily and shouted, “Are you that poor! Even if your food is made of gold, they won’t be worth that much!”
