My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 260

look for the key,” Chester stated. They had both chosen according to their own stances.The others were soon divided into teams as well.“I’ll go look for the two of them,” Blake said, joining her without hesitation.As soon as Leo heard that, he scowled, and his demeanor turned even colder.“I’ll go look for them as well,” Jodie declared, going over to their team in an unusual turn of events.Then, Giada turned to Leo. “I’ll follow Mr. Alston. Whichever team he joins, I will.” She began to shoot him with obviously flirtatious looks.His cold gaze never looked at her, so he naturally did not notice her flirtation.Seeing that, a chill spread within Elyse’s eyes. Still, she did not say anything about it. “While I’m worried about Miss Shaw and Mr. Hargreve, I was raised as a delicate and sheltered kid,” she said with a chuckle. “If I look for them, I’ll easily give them extra trouble. So, I’ll look for the key.”When Gordon observed that everyone had chosen a side, leaving the team searching for the key with only a handful of members, he declared that he would search for the key.After they were done dividing into groups, they began to eat their breakfast.So, when the show host knew they would look for Fabian and Fiona, he told them where the two had likely gone.After breakfast was over, Leo told Giada to stay for the search. His words made Chester so happy that he had to add his convincing voice. Despite her reluctance, she remained because she did not wish to appear too defiant and give Leo a negative impression of her.Soon, the other four team members entered the forest according to the host’s clues.While it was not a dense forest, it was particularly dark due to how tall and leafy the trees were. They were so tall that barely any sunlight made it through the canopy, making the area within the forest relatively humid. They could only smell the cool breeze of fresh air and the damp stench of rotting plants.At that time, Jodie rubbed her nose in discomfort. Without a specific goal, I would never willingly walk through this place!While Blake walked at the back of the group, Amelie frequently turned to check on him, worried that he would overexert himself and trigger an asthmatic attack. He would smile at her every time and shake his head to indicate he was doing fine.Meanwhile, Jodie was walking between the two and saw them exchanging glances and clenched her hand so tightly that her nails dug into her palm. I wish I could strangle this b*tch to death. What a flirt!“The path splits into two here, and both seem to have been walked through. We cannot be sure which path they took,” Leo said suddenly, stopping and turning to look back at them from the front of the group.Even though he was raised in a pampered environment, he ensured that he remained physically fit. Hence, the walk was not taxing for him.“I’ll go this way,” Amelie said, pointing to one of the paths.“I’ll go there as well!” Jodie swiftly said.Leo blinked and stared at Jodie.She uneasily shrugged and explained, “It looks wider and not so scary.”She felt threatened by her brother and noticed his glare. He might not say much, but his eyes were highly observant. One look was often enough for him to see through a person’s demons. Moreover, she was so afraid of him that she did not even dare look him in the eye.“Mm.” Ultimately, he did not stop her from doing what she wanted.Although Blake wanted to stick close to Amelie to take care of her, it felt terrible to force Jodie to walk the more arduous path. “Take care,” he said to Amelie with a warm smile.“Got it. You stay safe as well,” she replied.As she thought of him as a little brother, she did not think further about the interaction.However, to Jodie and Leo, that was not the case. He shot Amelie a cold, forceful glare before silently marching away. On the other hand, Jodie couldn’t hide her rage as her nails dug into a nearby tree, snapping its branches.Eventually, the four had now split up.Amelie and Jodie continued hiking into the forest, and thirty minutes later, a deep ravine appeared before them. The ravine’s stream flowed down a cliff, and its waters were so swift that it seemed dangerous.Amelie noticed faint footsteps on the ravine’s edge and had to kneel to get a better look at them.She is directly facing a cliff, and a slight nudge will cause her to lose her footing and fall into the river below. Despite her fears, Jodie gritted her teeth and inched closer to Amelie. So, she
