The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 14 There’s Something Worse Simone noticed her team members staring at her and jokingly said, “So you’re just going to let me carry you guys to victory?” Her team members replied, “Yep.” Amused, Simone suggested, “Then I suggest we pay a visit to the families the village head told us about. We can set a schedule of when we’re showing up; then, we can go straight to them and exchange work for money or food.” Zac, who had decided not to move around anymore, agreed after hearing Simone’s plan, “Yeah, we should do that.

I admire people who take things seriously. ‘And she didn’t take any credit either. Anyone else would’ve started showing off. ‘Are you referring to the women in the other livestream?’ ‘I haven’t been following that one. Have they achieved anything yet?’ Since the teams were separated, the production teams set up two livestreams. If any guest moved alone, a livestream would be opened for that guest. Viewers could compare the two teams, and Zac’s fans were starting to complain. ‘I’ve been watching both livestreams. Those guys knocked on at least a few dozen doors, and only one household accepted their help because they were too embarrassed to refuse.’ Jojo cooked for that family and got their teams some eggs and greens. ‘Aaron and Leon praised her, and then she kept showing off how she learned to cook before coming to this show.’ ‘Yeah, it’s like she wants everyone to know she took her time to learn.’ ‘She kept showing off
