“key, you’re thinking the same thing as me, right?” Jodie couldn’t contain her excitement and asked
eagerly. She was confident in her decision-making skills and knew that not only would he agree with
her, but he would also find her quite remarkable. Suddenly, she felt a surge of confidence and tossed
her long hair gracefully. “I believe—” ke shed a gentle grin, and his pure and meek expression
drew everyone’s attention.When she heard the word he said, she jumped up with joy. “I knew it—”“That
Miss Foxy’s analysis is correct.”“What?” Jodie’s excitement came to a sudden stop. Thinking she must
have heard wrong, she looked at him in disbelief.However, ke’s eyes fell softly on Amelie. One
could practically see his attraction to Foxy… Who would believe that he had no interest in her?
Nevertheless, Jodie had long suspected it, and now that his gaze was so candid, she was so angry that
she nearly exploded. Then, she shouted, “Leo!”Meanwhile, Leo stood silently, and his gaze was also
fixed on Amelie. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect her to say what he wanted to
say first. When he learned that she was Foxy, he only thought she was pretty talented, but he soon
realized that her thinking was so sharp and intelligent. “She’s right,” he responded to Jodie after a
while.I can’t say I me ke for siding with this woman, but even my brother sided with her! Still,
Jodie couldn’t figure it out. What kind of monster is this woman?Then, she red fiercely at Amelie.
Receiving her death stare, Amelie shrugged silently. It’s a good thing I wore the mask here. If my true
identity is revealed, Jodie’s anger might double.“Since that’s the case, let’s make some food first. I’ll
wash the vegetables.” Elyse quickly brought out a basin of greens and spoke up. Then, she cleverly
blocked Leo’s view of Amelie when she walked by the two.When Fabian saw that everyone had
decided, he quickly assigned tasks. The girls and Chester went to look for a water source and wash the
vegetables. At the same time, the remaining men set off toward the distant building to see if it could be
used. Nheless, Jodie naturally didn’t want to do any hard work. When Leo and the others left, she
angrily got on the bus and went to sleep. Hence, Amelie didn’t bother with her and took out a basket of
vegetables to wash.“Let’s do it together,” Giada walked over, happily linking her arm with Amelie’s as if
she had forgotten all about her earlier disdain for Amelie.The water source wasn’t difficult to find, but
the area was deste. Since Amelie grew up in the countryside and had experience, she led the group
in clearing a road without the proper equipment. In the end, she ended up taking over as leader of the
small group, which had been led by Chester. After a while, they finally arrived at the water’s edge. The
water was not polluted and was crystal clear, which excited Elyse, Chester, and a few others who went
to y in the water.Meanwhile, Amelie silently walked to the higher ground and washed the vegetables
with her head down.Then, Giada held a tomato in her hand, looked around, and squatted down after
making sure no one was paying attention. She gently tapped Amelie and said, “That Mr. Alston is so
impressive. Although he’s stern, his decisions are urate and amazing. No wonder hispany can
be so sessful. He’s such a great man! Don’t you find him attractive?”Amelie smiled absent-mindedly
and replied, “Not really.” She used to find him attractive, but that was in the past.“You’re so smart. How
come you have no ambition at all?” Giada pushed her in disapproval. “I’ve seen him nce at you a
few times.”“nce at me?” Amelie tried to think and could only recall sensual moments between Leo
and Elyse. “I think you’re mistaken.”Nevertheless, Giada sighed lightly as she looked Amelie up and
down. She couldn’t help but try to lift the edge of Amelie’s mask with her fingers. However, Amelie
grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?”“I didn’t mean anything by it. I assumed that wearing this
mask the whole day must be tiring for you. There’s no filming equipment here, so you can remove
it.”“No need.” Amelie pushed Giada’s hand away.Afterward, Giada looked at her thoughtfully as she bit
into the tomato. “Miss Foxy, is something wrong with your face since you always cover it with a
mask?”“Mmm.” Amelie gave a vague answer as she didn’t want to bother exining herself to
Giada.When Giada heard her response, she suddenly rxed, and her face lit up with a smile. “No
wonder! That’s why you don’t dare to fall for Mr. Alston.”Amelie was speechless. My appearance has
nothing to do with not falling for him.“Since you’re not interested in him, I’ll pursue him.” Giada yfully
spoke and stuck out her tongue. As it turned out, she had been asking around Amelie for so long
because she wanted to pursue Leo herself.Suddenly, a bbergasted smile crossed Amelie’s face
under her mask. After four years of marriage, I still haven’t won his affection. Thinking she could win
him over in one TV show is ridiculous! Initially, she intended to give Giada some well-meaning advice
but ultimately kept her mouth shut. Sometimes, it is best to let someone learn from their mistakes.As
dusk settled in after dinner, neither Fabian nor Team A had returned. Amelie could tell that Fabian had
gone to find Fiona, as he had taken something with him when he left, which was probably food for her.
However, Fabian’s departure didn’t affect Team B’s activities, as Leo was a stabilizing force, and
everyone seemed to feel secure with him around.“Those with talent are different, like Leo. No matter
where he goes, he can quickly adapt to the environment. He’s practically a God!” Giada eximed, her
eyes constantly flicking toward the second floor where the men were surveying the terrain. Her gaze
was fixated on Leo as she had already marked him as her man since deciding to pursue him.Then,
Elyse elegantly chimed in, “Yeah, Leo has always been exceptional. I’ve known him for years and have
never seen him falter. He’s my strongest support.”Elyse’s words emphasized her and Leo’s unique
rtionship, which made Giada feel like she had swallowed a fly.On the other hand, Jodie, who rarely
bothered to speak to them, said something out of the blue. “Not only you guys, even I, as his little sister
who grew up with him, haven’t seen him defeated yet. In school, his grades were the best, and
whatever he did, he always performed dozens of times better than others.”Amelie listened quietly to
their conversation, blinking. Suddenly, she thought of those days 10 years ago. Leo was silent, moody,
anxious, and quick-tempered. If things didn’t go his way, he would throw things and not take care of his
health. In addition, he was a problematic teenager, utterly different from the person they were
describing. Perhaps, he was her bad karma from her previous life, so he showed her all his ugly sides.
When she finally changed him, he left andpletely forgot about her. Touching her left eye, which
had almost no sight, she sighed quietly.Meanwhile, Team B still had yet to return at night. For safety
reasons, everyone took turns keeping watch in pairs. So, she took the initiative to team up with ke,
as few people knew about his poor health, and she was worried he might overexert himself. When it
was their turn to patrol, she didn’t wake him but went out alone. The night wind was freezing and biting,
especially in the deserted wilderness. Even though the building they stayed in was old and falling apart,
at least the old walls protected them from the cold. However, they were still concerned about the
possibility of wild beasts or other intruders.Amelie held her phone, which had the shlight function,
and slowly walked around the perimeter. As she walked, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, like
something stepping on leaves. The sound was incredibly eerie and ominous in the dead of night.
