The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 278 Simone, The One They Should Not Have Offended

Zac was filled with an immediate sense of comfort when Simone patted his head, causing him to beam with joy. He chose to ignore the piercing glares from Aaron and Leon, who had already aligned themselves with Simone. "Alright." He flashed a warm smile and reluctantly rejoined his own group. Witnessing this, Jodie couldn't help but inwardly curse Simone for her audacity. However, she saw Zac's assignment to her group as a golden opportunity. The audience in the live broadcast room was also captivated by the scene. 'Ah! Simone and Zachy are so cute together!' 'I wish Simone would pat my head too. It looks so comforting.''My ship is sailing! Their affection is so sweet!' 'I can't help but ship them. Their chemistry is undeniable.' 'I used to want to see Simone shining alone. But Simone and Zachy are a perfect match.' 'Yes, her ex-boyfriend was handsome but always had a cold demeanor. Zachy is better; he can protect and comfort Simone.' 'Zachy is also very handsome, no less than her ex-boyfriend.' 'Simone's personality is more compatible with someone like Zachy.' 'When Zachy protects Simone, he becomes assertive and dominant. When he spoils her, he is like a loyal dog. When he is spoiled, he becomes a little puppy. He can switch roles anytime. So many options.' 'Quick! Bring the City Hall here. I want to see them get married on the spot.''It's a pity that Zachy's luck is so bad; he will be separated from Simone in this episode.' 'Even though they are separated, I believe Zachy will still find ways to be with Simone.' 'Simone will continue to take care of and spoil Zachy. Just thinking about it is so sweet.' 'I am so excited!' 'Haha! Zachy's face turned black when he was switched to Jojo's group. I couldn't help but laugh.' 'Jonah is not being fair, creating such a grouping. Both groups are like a death trap.' 'Of course, Zachy and the Gray Family siblings don't get along. Simone is in the same group as her ex-boyfriend and ex-brother. This episode will be interesting.' 'Poor Zachy. When he wants to cry, Simone's ex-boyfriend and ex-brother are secretly laughing.' 'Wow, I just realized that none of those who said they wanted to be in the same group as Simone were actually assigned to her group.' 'The grouping from the roulette wheel this time is so unfair. They all want to cry.' 'Simone: I might not be able to handle this episode.' The groups had been formed. Simone asked Jonah, "Should we go find the group with the mystery guest, or should the production team find them?" Jonah replied, "We have a mission card here to find the target. Follow the mission card and go find them. As long as the other party agrees, you will be able to successfully form a team." Simone took the mission card and opened it to take a look. It contained a simplified map with instructions to enter Cubilis and walk into the main street. After walking a kilometer, they should turn left into the alley, then follow the map and turn left again. Upon entering the seventh shop, they should invite the first person they meet, excluding the shopkeeper. If the person agreed, the team formation would be successful. If not, they should ask the second person they met or wait for the first customer to enter the shop. While Simone was reading, she recited it during the live broadcast. Aaron listened and said, "It's all about finding someone with fate; it's all up to chance." The viewers in the live broadcast room also had similar thoughts, curious about what kind of ordinary, mysterious guest Simone and her team would encounter. Zac asked, "Jonah, after we enter Cubilis, do we still have to work and earn money for food and accommodation ourselves?" Jonah nodded. "Yes, the rules are still the same. But you have to be careful; you can't do modern things to make money. Cubilis follows a retro route, so no modern dances or songs." Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a wry smile. "It's like they're making things difficult for us again." They realized they didn't have any ancient skills either. On the other hand, Jodie was delighted. She knew the traditional dance and the harp and could use them if necessary. Jonah thought to himself, Isn't this obvious? The point is to make things difficult for you. Otherwise, what's the point? He smiled and reassured them, "I believe in you. It's already noon, and we're not that mean. Each of you will be given 15 dollars as startup capital. After entering Cubilis, enjoy lunch first and then make money." Cubilis was a huge ancient city, and they were still outside it. There were cars and other modern transportation outside the city, but they would disappear after entering Cubilis. Jonah added, "By the way, we will also pay the entrance fee for you. Isn't that nice?" Cubilis required an entrance fee for maintenance. Visitors entering the city had to pay—14 dollars per person. After paying the entrance fee, everyone would receive an entrance token engraved with the date. It was valid for three days. The guests couldn't help but laugh and cry. If they were not allowed to use their own money, and the production team hadn't paid the entrance fee, how could they have entered? How dare Jonah actually say that? Next, everyone handed in their phones and exchanged them for the ones provided by the production team. They went to a clothing store outside the city, and each had chosen a set of clothes.This time, it was the production team that paid for them. "This set of clothes is also a gift from the production team. However, for the next few days, if you want to change clothes, you'll have to earn money and buy them yourselves in Cubilis." Aaron was dumbfounded. "Are you saying we can't wear the clothes we brought in Cubilis?" He had never been to Cubilis before. Jonah smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. It's a rule set by the authorities before entering the city. No matter what era you're dressed in, you have to wear traditional attire. The same goes for shoes. You have to wear the ones you brought when you leave." Aaron was speechless. Am I bringing a whole suitcase of clothes for nothing? Then he noticed that, apart from himself, Jodie, Leon, and the others didn't have as much luggage.So, he asked, "Did you bring enough clothes for a week?" Zac looked at him proudly and said, "We only brought clothes for today and the last day. Simone reminded us earlier that we have to wear traditional attire in Cubilis, not our own clothes. Things like watches are also not allowed. And we can only use cash; no mobile payment is allowed." He asked deliberately, "You guys didn't know?" Aaron remained silent. This realization is painful. We don't have Simone's reminder, and we have never been here before. How can I know? He smiled awkwardly. "Indeed, we didn't know." Then he looked at Simone and said, "You're amazing; you know everything." This was both an attempt to please Simone and a genuine compliment. Simone glanced at him and said, "I've been here before. The production team informed us a week ago that this episode would be filmed in Cubilis. Didn't you guys do any research beforehand?" Although she had been to Cubilis in her previous life with her master, in the week before, she still spent a lot of time studying the map of Cubilis and watching some related videos and news. Aaron was taken aback by this counter-question. He touched his nose and said truthfully, "No, we really didn't." They simply didn't consider it. Zac looked at Aaron and said, "You guys are lucky this time. You found the right person. Otherwise, you would be in trouble." He boasted again, "Unlike us, we all listened to Simone and looked up the map and introduction of Cubilis in advance." Keira also laughed and said, "Yes, Simone shared the information and videos she found in advance with us." Aaron and the others missed out on the information. It served them right to offend Simone so significantly. Aaron remained silent. He was struck again. This time, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
