Chapter 8 A Trap For Sc*Mbag No 5

Hearing the conversation between the siblings, Jonah did not find them overly dramatic or annoying; on the contrary, he was excited deep down. “Here’s a hot topic right after the opening!” He spread his hands with a look of resignation, saying, “We can’t help it. This is the only road leading to the village.” Aaron was displeased. “Can’t you figure out a solution? Can motorcycles go up there?” Before Jonah could answer, Zac shot a glance at the siblings and scoffed. “Just blame yourselves for dressing up like this despite knowing we’re filming this reality show in the countryside.” He wore casual clothes and sneakers, especially for this purpose.

Also, he noticed that apart from the siblings and Leyla, the other guests were dressed suitably for trekking. “So, it’s their problem.” He continued sarcastically, “You didn’t come prepared, and you’re being dramatic?” Everyone present was stunned by his words, not expecting him to be so blunt. “The rumors are true. This guy does have a sharp tongue,” thought the other guests. Both Keira and Eric were also quite speechless about how the siblings and Leyla were dressed. “You’re asking for it if you come to participate in a rural reality show dressed like this.”

dress up like this? If I hadn’t known, I’d think you were here for an awards ceremony.” It was hard not to burst into laughter at his words, not to mention that his sarcastic description was quite on the mark. Jodie did not expect the man to mock them so bluntly in front of everyone and could not help but feel aggrieved. “What an insensitive man!” However, the more he treated her like this, the more she wanted to win him over. With a hint of stubbornness, she gave in. “It’s okay, I’m fine. I can keep walking.” Seeing Aaron’s darkening expression and Jodie’s teary eyes, Simone inwardly gave Zac a

“Who can take responsibility if something goes wrong?” For a while, everyone was at a loss for what to do. Meanwhile, fans of Zac, Aaron, and Jodie began arguing in the live chat. Aaron and Jodie’s fans criticized Zac for being rude and mannerless by mocking Jodie, the little fairy, whereas Leon was praised by them for being a courteous and warm-hearted man, forming a stark contrast with Zac. However, Zac’s fans refused to back down, arguing that it was inappropriate and posey for Jodie to participate in a rural reality show dressed like this. “Isn’t she being a burden on everyone right now? And besides, Zeus is just telling the truth. How does that make him rude and mannerless? Can’t they let someone tell them when they’re wrong?” As for casual viewers watching the live stream and the argument in the live chat, they also found Jodie somewhat less likable. On the mountain path, Jonah looked at everyone, asking, “Does anyone have a solution? It’s indeed unlikely for Miss Jodie to walk to our destination wearing high heels.” Simone replied, “That’s easy!” Everyone shifted their gaze toward her, waiting for her to

for a while, she would have conveniently ‘recalled’ the flat shoes in her suitcase and changed into them. Now that she could not establish that image anymore, she had no choice but to slap herself lightly on the head, saying, “Oh, my! Had Simone not mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten I’d brought them.” Everyone else was left speechless. “How can you forget such a thing?” Zac sneered with a look of incredulity. Since entering the entertainment industry, he had seen too many people who acted one way in front of others and another behind their backs. Of course, he did not bother to care about them as long as these people did not mess with him. That being said, he seriously did not have a good impression of this Jodie girl. At a previous party he attended, she had approached him while pretending to be innocent, trying to flirt with him. “Do I look like someone who’s indiscriminate with women? Now, knowing that we’re going to film the show in the countryside, she dresses in such a scheme and pretends to forget her shoes. Maybe she’s trying to establish some

Jodie, Simone did not feel upset. In reality, she could not wait for him to act like a doting brother who spoiled his dear sister in every way possible on the show. After all, nobody knew yet that Jodie was not his biological sister. Once her relationship with them was revealed later, she would no longer be singled out for blame. “He doesn’t care about his sister, who’d gone missing for years and was nearly sold to the mountains, instead favoring his adopted sister unconditionally. And here’s the thing—these two aren’t related by blood. Won’t such intimate gestures lead people to think that there’s another kind of relationship between them?” Simone had previously discovered at Gray Residence that Jodie was extremely possessive of her five elder brothers. Not only that, she had a habitual fondness for intimate physical contact with them, hugging and cuddling them even when they were already adults. For instance, she had acted like a spoiled child in the living room, asking her brothers to carry her back to her bedroom. She was quick to rest her head intimately on her brothers’ shoulders
