Evangeline smirked, hoisted her backpack, and led the way into the forest. The others followed.

Once inside, she noticed the weeds had been cleared. The production team had shown them some mercy, after all.

As she walked, she spotted a rabbit. Without hesitation, she sprinted after it. However, rabbits are known for their speed when fleeing danger. In the blink of an eye, it hopped into the distance. Evangeline bent down, picked up a stone, and flicked it. The stone struck the rabbit accurately on the head, killing it instantly.

"Wow! Amazing!" exclaimed the cameraman, shocked.

Evangeline raised an eyebrow. "How lucky," she murmured. The rabbit was enough for her. She picked it up and retraced her steps.

Approaching the riverbank, she took a folding knife from her gear and began processing the rabbit. At that moment, Meghan appeared and witnessed the bloody scene. She screamed, "Ah! Evangeline, you're so ruthless! You seem good at this. Do you often kill animals?" Evangeline hurled the rabbit's intestines at Meghan.

"Piss off," she snapped.

"Ah!" Meghan cried, nearly fainting. I can't believe she threw such a disgusting thing at me, she thought.

"Evangeline, you've gone too far!" Teary-eyed, Meghan stomped her feet and ran off to find a change of clothes.

The netizens erupted: [Holy crap! Evangeline is vicious! She actually threw intestines at Meghan. That's disgusting!] [Meghan is so good-tempered. If someone dared to do that to me, I'd break their hands!] [Am I the only one who thinks Meghan is bringing this upon herself? Evangeline has been picking on her, but she kept approaching Evangeline. Isn't she asking for trouble?] [I think Meghan just reaped what she sowed. She was trying to make the audience misunderstand Evangeline. She deserves to be bullied!] [I support Meghan. Evangeline was so good at killing rabbits. She must be used to it!] [Evangeline is mean and unfriendly. She may enjoy abusing animals, too!] [Let's criticize this malicious woman and drive her out of the entertainment industry!]

Evangeline worked swiftly, gutting and skinning the rabbit. Then, she collected dry branches, started a fire by the riverbank, and, once coals formed, began grilling the rabbit. (Roasting it directly on the fire would blacken and smoke the meat, making it taste bad.)

The food-foraging team returned, looking disheveled but empty-handed. Jolene held some wild vegetables, unsure if they were edible.

"It smells so good," Jolene inhaled deeply, savoring the aroma. Seeing Evangeline's roasted meat, she was shocked. "Evangeline, you found food? What have you got? Did you catch it yourself? How did you manage to catch something so quickly!"

However, Travis snorted, "She must've gotten lucky and stumbled upon a barely alive creature!" Jolene thought his words were reasonable.

"We didn't catch anything. What are we going to eat tonight? These wild vegetables might not even be edible" she said weakly. Kendrick gulped, enticed by the aroma. He glanced at the darkening sky and suggested, "Before it's completely dark, let's search again."

The three ventured back into the forest and found the poultry released by the production team. In just ten minutes, they spotted at least ten chickens; some had broken legs, making them slower. However, they couldn't catch any. After half an hour, with the sky darkening and visibility decreasing, they came out empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Evangeline's rabbit was done, and she began eating. Crispy and golden brown, the hare meat looked incredibly delicious. The three involuntarily swallowed, their stomachs rumbling as they watched her.

Another online discussion erupted: [I didn't expect Evangeline to have such culinary skills. The rabbit she grilled looks crispy outside and tender inside. It looks appetizing!] [This hare meat is well-roasted. It looks much more tasty than the dishes cooked by food bloggers I've seen.] [I'm getting hungry. I'm going to order some food.] [It's decided. I'm having hare meat tonight, too!]

Jolene retracted her gaze and asked Dallas, "Mr. Fowler, what are you guys eating?" She planned to ask Dallas and the crew for some food later.

Dallas smiled and took a fist-sized red fruit from his pocket. "We also sent people to look for food and found a fruit tree, but it wasn't enough. We don't have enough for all the staff. Sorry, you guys have to figure it out yourselves." Jolene was disappointed.

Dallas and the crew began eating the strange fruit. However, within ten minutes, those who had eaten it convulsed and collapsed, vomiting blood profusely.

"Oh no, the fruits are poisonous!" someone exclaimed.

Five or six crew members who hadn't eaten the fruit rushed to help, but felt helpless as none had medical skills. The affected people vomited blood for a few minutes, then lost consciousness. Someone checked and shouted in panic, "They they seem to have stopped breathing! Quick, get them to a doctor!"

The surviving staff hastily carried the unconscious individuals onto the cruise ship. The ship started up and quickly left the island. The guests were dumbfounded. In minutes, the entire production team had disappeared, leaving the celebrities stranded.

"Mr. Fowler, come back and take us with you! How could you leave us here? What are we supposed to do?" Jolene ran to the riverside and shouted at the departing cruise ship. However, the situation on the ship was chaotic, so no one paid attention. They could only watch helplessly as it sailed away.

Jolene was on the verge of tears. "We've been abandoned here. What do we do now!"

Kendrick, older and more mature, said calmly, "Don't worry. They must have panicked and forgot about us because many crew members passed out. Once they calm down, they'll remember us. Right now, all we need to do is wait patiently." Jolene found his words reasonable and calmed down.

Just then, Meghan and Samson walked out of the forest. Meghan was empty-handed; Samson carried a pile of hay. She said apologetically, "Sorry, guys. We didn't find a suitable place to sleep. This open space seems decent. We'll make beds here. Sam and I gathered some hay for everyone."

"Huh? Where's Mr. Fowler? Where's the camera crew? What about the staff? Why are they all gone! Where did they go?" Meghan suddenly noticed the production team had vanished. Confusion painted her face.

Jolene explained, "Mr. Fowler and most of the production team ate some wild fruit, and they all fell unconscious due to poisoning. Those who didn't eat the fruit brought them onto the cruise ship to seek medical help. See those bloodstains on the ground? That's what they vomited. The blood hasn't even dried yet."

Meghan glanced at the bloodstains, startled. The place resembled a crime scene. She frowned, "All the staff left? Not a single person stayed? Does that mean we're not filming anymore?"

Travis said, "Before they left, someone checked the breathing of those who fainted and said they had stopped breathing. Filming naturally can't continue since even Mr. Fowler has collapsed. We'll have to wait until the company contacts the investors and sends a new production team."

With filming discontinued, Meghan's amiable demeanor disappeared. She showed signs of annoyance. From the moment she got off the cruise ship, she had been disgusted with this place, especially the forest. She wore a dress and the grass brushing against her legs caused pain and itching. Insects kept biting her. However, during filming, she had to pretend not to care.

She wondered when the cameraman following her and Samson had disappeared. They were probably too tired to hear the commotion.

Suddenly, Meghan smelled the delicious aroma of Evangeline's roasted rabbit. Her stomach growled. Unable to control her saliva, she was desperately hungry. She often skipped meals as part of her dieting routine, but today, her hunger was unbearable.

She looked at Jolene. "What did you find for food?"

Jolene lifted the wild vegetables. "Just these"

Meghan's face darkened. "Sam and I worked hard to ensure everyone could sleep well tonight. Yet, you three only managed to find a bunch of wild vegetables? Pigs wouldn't even eat this stuff! While Sam and I gathered hay, we saw several limping chickens. You three couldn't even catch those. Pathetic!"

Jolene was displeased. "We tried our best. Those chickens and rabbits ran so fast. We just couldn't catch them!" "How should you reprimand us? You guys only found some hay! That bit of hay isn't even enough for one person to sleep on. There are so many of us. How will we sleep tonight?"

Meghan looked at her. "Are you blaming me?"

Jolene, intimidated, took a step back and shook her head. "I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying" She knew Meghan's brother's status in the entertainment industry, so she dared not offend her.

"Humph!" Meghan scoffed.

Samson said, "Since you don't appreciate the hay we found, solve your sleeping problems yourselves!" Jolene bit her lip, not daring to speak.

Meghan, seeing Evangeline eating, swallowed hard. She turned to Samson and acted pitifully. "Sam, I've been walking in the forest all afternoon, and I'm so hungry…"

Samson glanced at Evangeline. Displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Wait here. I'll go get some food for you."

He walked toward Evangeline with determination, followed by Meghan and the others. "You, split the hare meat in half for Meghan," Samson ordered arrogantly.

Evangeline replied, "Get lost."

Meghan criticized, "Evangeline, how can you treat Sam like this!"

Evangeline snapped, "You too, piss off."

Meghan bit her lip. "Evangeline, don't cross the line. We came to reconcile with you out of concern for you. How can you be so mean? With the production team gone, we're left alone in this wilderness. How do you plan to spend the night without our care?"

Evangeline remarked sarcastically, "I'm well-equipped. I'll spend the night as I want. The ones who should worry about tonight are you guys, not me."

Meghan was livid. Samson's expression soured. "Evangeline, you're being unreasonable. Meghan cares for you, yet you don't appreciate it. Fine, but why did you have to be so sarcastic? When have you become so mean? Can't you learn from Meghan! We would've liked you more if you were as sensible as her!"

Evangeline sneered, "I don't care whether you like me or not."

Samson took a deep breath. "I'll take it as you're being stubborn. Apologize to Meghan right now and promise to turn over a new leaf. When we return, I'll plead with Dad and Mom to let you return to the Gallagher residence."

Evangeline looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Heh, return to the Gallagher residence? I don't care. There's not a single mentally-sound person in the family. I'm afraid I'd become stupid too if I were to hang around you guys every day. I won't go back even if you beg me."

Samson and Meghan glared at Evangeline, enraged.

Angry and starving, Meghan, without the cameras, said through gritted teeth, "Sam, cut the crap and teach her a lesson! She picks on me and even sells our family shares privately. On top of that, she's mean and violent to us. We should have taught her a lesson long ago!"

Evangeline sneered, "You're good at distorting the truth. The stocks I sold belonged to me. Otherwise, how could I have sold them? Use that underdeveloped brain of yours before falsely accusing me."

Meghan was furious. She ignored Evangeline and turned to the other three. "Evangeline insulted me and targeted me. If you take my side and teach her a lesson, I'll have Edward provide you with resources when we return. You guys will get a part in at least one high-budget film and be recommended for luxury brand endorsements!"

All three were tempted. Jolene said, "If things get exposed, won't it be bad for our image?"

Meghan sneered, "The production team is gone, and no one will see it. As long as we don't tell, who would know! If she dares to spread rumors, as long as we deny it and accuse her of bullying us instead, do you think the netizens would believe us, reputable celebrities, or her, a scandalous person?"

The three relaxed. In unison, they said, "All right, we'll follow your plan. Tell us what to do." They were not surprised by Meghan's off-screen persona. They had heard she wasn't kind and gentle in private. Many celebrities presented a kind image publicly while being different behind the scenes.

Meghan smirked and pointed at Evangeline. "Go snatch the grilled meat and her backpack from her. I saw she brought a tent and an inflatable bed. We'll have a place to sleep tonight!"

The three approached Evangeline with hostile looks. Unbeknownst to them, many state-of-the-art miniature hidden cameras were planted in the forest. These cameras were as clear as professional ones and had excellent audio. They were extremely tiny and didn't emit any light. After the production team left, these cameras were activated, and the livestream continued uninterrupted.
