Chapter 286
The sun rose early in the wild, casting a faint red hue on the horizon as everyone woke up.
Finally, the host appeared and announced that today's task would be harvesting and processing coffee.
Only then did everyone notice a sprawling coffee plantation not far from their wilderness campground.
Most were accustomed to only drinking coffee and had never harvested or processed it. When the host revealed the task, the crowd cheered eagerly, wanting to start immediately. "Ah!" A scream suddenly pierced through the camp.
Everyone stopped in shock, and Finlay dashed into Team A's tent
"Is that Maisie?" Ariella hurried over and inquired.
Glancing around, five out of six girls were present, Maisie alone was missing,
Sharon was about to speak when two more screams rang out, prompting everyone to rush over.
Just as they reached the tent, Maisie's anguished voice echoed out, "It hurts, so much paint A snake, a snake bit me."
On hearing this, everyone's faces turned serious.
Without hesitation, Kenneth ripped open the tent Пap
Inside, they found a pale-faced Maisie curled up and clutching her leg, crying out in pain.
Finlay paled and shrank back to the far end of the tent.
A bright green snake darted out of the tent and swiftly disappeared.
"Am I going to die?" Maisie, who had never experienced such fear, trembled and sobbed.
Finlay regained his composure and yelled, "Doctor! We need a doctort"
Kenneth didn't hesitate, rushing in to lift Maisie gently and carry her away.
The production team, upon hearing about the snakebite, reacted swiftly.
Thankfully, the on-site medical team quickly attended to Maisle, getting her into a vehicle without delay.
This unexpected incident sobered everyone, instantly dampening their earlier enthusiasm.
It was a while before the doctor emerged from the vehicle.
"How is she?" Finlay asked anxiously
The doctor removed his gloves and reported, "Luckily, it was a non-venomous snake. We administered anti-venom, so there should not be any major complications."
Though relieved, Finlay could not help but ask, "But how could there be a snake when she was perfectly fine!"
Maisie, who was pale and limping, emerged from the car.
Finlay hurried to support her.
Her eyes were reddened, and she was clearly shaken. She glanced towards the tent and added, "Exactly! How did a snake get in! Yesterday, sulfur powder was spread everywhere around here. There's no way a snake could have entered by itself"
Her implication was clear: someone must have placed the snake there.
Everyone nodded in agreement, exchanging complex looks as they murmured. Indeed, sulfur powder was used:
"Should we involve the police?" someone suggested.
Maisie suddenly turned to Sharon and asked, "Foxy Damon, what do you think! I've been seriously injured. Shouldn't we call the police?*
10:14 AM.
Chapter 286
Sharon was speechless.
"What are you implying? Do you think Foxy harmed you?" Ariella snapped back, her anger palpable.
Maisie's expression hardened as she replied, "Who else could it be? She knows exactly what happened last night better than anyone!"
Sharon remained silent at the accusation
She glanced awkwardly at Maisie, then at Edwin.
Edwin stood aloof in the distance, indifferent to everything unfolding around him.
Only when Sharon looked at him did he meet her gaze, devoid of embarrassment but filled with deep serenity.
deep silence.
There was no awkwardness in his eyes as she had thought. There was only a deep
thought, "What had transpired the previous night"
Maisie's words prompted everyone to gaze at Sharon with intense curiosity, ripe with gossip.
Sharon quickly looked away to evade their scrutiny and replied."
Rogers, your accusations seem rather unfounded,"
She thought. 'She saw me with Edwin last night, and now she's blaming me for setting a snake loose? What twisted logic is this?
Maisie stumbled forward, whispering in Sharon's ear, "Don't think I don't know, You've been secretly seeing Mr. Stanley, Last night, seeing us together made you jealous enough to unleash a make on me!" Sharon was at a loss for words, and she thought, Which eye did she use to see us together!
This is unbelievable!
"Regardless, I have nothing to do with the snake incident. Please refrain from baseless accusations. Stepping back, she distanced herself from Maisie.
She feared Maisie's hostility might rub off on her.
"Raseless accusations? Deep down, you know the truth. Will you only be satished when the police are involved? Maisie refuted, her hostility was palpable.
Sharon defended herself, "What are you implying? You get bitten by a snake, and suddenly, it's someone else's fault. Are you thinking clearly?" Before Maisie could reply, a forceful push sent her stumbling Sharon stared in disbelief at the person who had pushed Malic.
"What strange atmosphere is this on the mountain? How did everyone become so unpredictable here?
'Maisie is one thing, but Tina... is helping met
Has the world turned upside down!' Sharon wondered as she glanced at the rising sun in the cast.
Tina clearly wasn't genuinely trying to help Sharon.
However, she had overheard Maisie and Sharon's conversation. Knowing Edwin and Foxy were involved, Tina couldn't bear the thought of police involvement jeopardizing their relationship.
After all, her own happiness hinged on their happiness.
Despite being shoved around, Maisie remained silent.
As Tima was Edwin's sister, Maisie couldn't afford to offend her.
She glared fiercely at Sharon but refrained from mentioning the police again.
The production team was keen to avoid police involvement.
If it escalated, it could harm the show's reputation. If something were to happen, all the investments into the show would be wasted.
Seeing Malsie's reluctance, the director reassured her, suggesting it could be treated as a work-related incident. She could opt out and still receive her contractual compensation.
