The Grant family wore grim expressions on their faces. "Why does the Grant family have to deal with someone like Elaine?" Yoel shouted angrily. "Mom! Dad! Elaine sold thirty percent of our company's shares to our competitor! We can't let this go!" Quentin exclaimed. Frederick frowned. "She won't come home with us. Theodore's men are protecting her, and she won't answer our calls. We can't meet or contact her. What else can we do?" Miranda bit her lip and turned to Yoel. "Yoel, Elaine is a celebrity under your company, right? You could use your position as her superior to give her orders!" "I can only give her work-related orders," Yoel replied. Gavin had an idea and said excitedly, "That's okay! You can give her some work! We can't retrieve the shares anymore, and with Theodore protecting her, we can't harm her directly. But we can find another way to make her pay." Everyone looked at Gavin as he continued, "Miranda will be participating in a survival show, right? Yoel, you can get Elaine on the show too. Make her sign an agreement to elevate Miranda's image by acting foolish and mean. That way, we can boost Miranda's popularity and expose Elaine's true nature to the audience. The netizens will take care of her afterwards."Yoel nodded. "That could work. The show needs a female guest from my company, so I'll have Elaine fill that spot." After discussing their plan, Yoel called Elaine using the housekeeper's phone. "Hello?" Elaine answered coldly. "It's me, Yoel. Don't hang up yet. I'm calling to discuss work," Yoel said. Elaine remembered that she had signed a contract to work for Yoel's company when Miranda dragged her into the entertainment industry. The contract was for five years, and only one year had passed. The terms stated that if she left early, she would have to pay a compensation of one hundred million per year, with four years remaining. She realized she should have asked Frederick for more money. "Well? What job are you going to give me?" Elaine asked annoyed. "Miranda will be participating in a survival show next week. I'll have you on the show as well. Your job will be to intentionally bully Miranda so people will start talking about her. Essentially, you'll be her foil," Yoel replied. "I'm fine with participating in the show, but don't expect me to be Miranda's foil. That term wasn't in the contract I signed," Elaine replied with a sarcastic smile."Aren't you afraid I'll blacklist you?" Yoel muttered angrily. "Go ahead if you want. I'm not worried about losing my job right now," Elaine replied. "You..." Yoel was on the verge of exploding with anger. "I don't mind agreeing to your request, but I want something in return," Elaine added after thinking for a moment. "What is it?" Yoel asked. "After the show, you have to terminate my contract without compensation," Elaine said. Yoel didn't immediately agree, but Elaine continued, "If I bully Miranda as you requested, I'll be hated by netizens and lose all commercial value. I won't earn any money for your company even if I stay." After considering her statement, Yoel agreed. "Alright, unblock my number. I'll text you the details soon." "I want to sign the agreement first. I want it clearly stated that my contract with your company will be terminated after the show," Elaine said. Yoel clenched his teeth but had no choice but to give in. The next day, Yoel sent her two contracts he had prepared. The first contract required Elaine to intentionally bully Miranda on the show to make her appear weak.The second contract was the one Elaine had requested. After carefully reviewing the contracts to ensure there were no issues, Elaine went to a law firm with Yoel to have them notarized. Upon returning home, Elaine began researching the show. It was a new show in the first phase of shooting. Besides a message from the director and a brief description of it being a live survival show, Elaine couldn't find any other details. She had no choice but to research survival skills. She also bought a variety of tools to help with wilderness survival. I'm not sure if I can bring them on the show, but I'll buy them anyway. If the director doesn't allow it, I'll just give them up. I need to be prepared, or I'll suffer throughout the show. In addition to preparing tools, she intensified her physical training. The day for shooting the show arrived. Elaine brought a large suitcase and had the bodyguards drive her to the meeting point as instructed by the film crew. Everyone had already gathered when Elaine arrived. It seemed like they had been waiting for a while. Yoel, you jerk! You told me to meet here at ten, but it's only half past nine, and everyone is already here! He's setting me up even before we start shooting!With that in mind, Elaine took her fifty-inch suitcase out of the car and walked towards the crowd. She wore a green sun hat that shielded her face and neck from the sun. It had a flap at the front that she could pull down to cover her face and throat, leaving only her eyes visible. While it provided complete sun protection, it didn't look very aesthetically pleasing. She was wearing a dark green jacket, black cargo pants, and hiking shoes. In addition, she had a trekking pole with her. The other three male guests and two female guests had already arrived before her. They were all dressed stylishly. Miranda even wore a white spaghetti-strap dress and ten-centimeter heels. The other female guest, Janice Zink, was a member of a girl group. While her outfit wasn't as extravagant as Miranda's, she wore a pink dress and high heels as well. The three male guests were Jett Duvale, Xavier Quinn, and Gavin Grant. Elaine's brow furrowed when she saw Gavin. Gavin? What is he doing here? I know he entered the entertainment industry with Miranda to look after her, but I didn't expect him to be so concerned about her that he would join a reality show with her! He really is a great brother to her! "Who is that? She's so covered up that I can't even see her face!" Janice asked curiously while examining Elaine from head to toe.Elaine pulled down the veil of her hat to reveal her face. She wasn't wearing any makeup, not even lipstick. However, she had exquisite facial features, so she looked stunningly beautiful even without makeup. The livestream had already started a while ago. When Elaine appeared on screen, the comment section fell silent for a few seconds before it erupted. I was wondering if the person would be an A-list celebrity or something. Turns out it's just Elaine, the pretentious woman! I can't believe she made everyone wait for her! Who does she think she is? She's just a nobody, and yet, she has the audacity to show up late! I can't stop laughing at that huge suitcase she brought! Is she moving or something? Not only did she arrive late, but she also dressed in a way that made the other guests look unprofessional! How disgusting! She's such a conniving woman! Heh... She even has a natural makeup look on purpose! I bet she deliberately dressed herself up to appear professional for survival! Why did the film crew even invite her as a guest? Doesn't the director know how she tried to harm Miranda three months ago? Does the film crew have some kind of grudge against Miranda or something? Why are they allowing that evil woman to continue hurting Miranda? She failed to harm Miranda three months ago and got injured instead. She better behave herself this time, or she'll face the consequences of her actions again!As Elaine walked up to the guests with her suitcase, Miranda greeted her with a faint smile. "You're finally here, Elaine! We've been waiting for you for a long time! Let's not dwell on our past grievances and try to get along on this show. Maybe we can even reconcile... Ah!" Miranda was interrupted when Elaine walked up to her and kicked her aside. Because Miranda was wearing heels, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. "This is a nice spot. It keeps me out of the sun. I'll stand here while I wait. I hope you guys don't mind," Elaine said with a sarcastic smile. Getting to work right after arriving on set? Elaine is certainly professional! Gavin quickly helped Miranda to her feet and glared angrily at Elaine. "You've gone too far, Elaine!" Miranda grabbed Gavin's arm and shook her head. "Don't blame her, Gavin! She didn't do it on purpose! It was my fault for losing my balance!" People started commenting in the chat: What the heck? Did Elaine just kick Miranda? She's gone too far! That's assault! Doesn't the film crew care at all? Elaine should be kicked off the show! Miranda is way too forgiving! I can't believe she's defending Elaine after being kicked like that! We must protect Miranda! I feel sorry for Miranda... Screw that woman!Afraid that Elaine might kick them next, all the other guests silently moved away from her. With all the guests present, the director grabbed a loudspeaker and said, "Now that everyone is here, I'll announce the details of the show. Survival In The Wild will have six guests spend seven days and seven nights in a forest. You can form your own groups and help each other throughout the seven days, but the film crew will not provide any assistance once you enter the jungle. You will not receive any food or water from us, so you'll have to survive on your own. Also, you will not be allowed to bring your suitcases into the jungle. We will give you each a hiking bag, which you will fill with items of your choice. You cannot carry more than what the bag can hold, and you cannot bring any communication devices. Additionally, we will be live streaming the show on the internet at all times, so remember to give your best performance no matter what happens. Keep in mind that people are watching your every move! Alright, grab a hiking bag and start filling it!" After receiving the hiking bag from the staff, Elaine began packing it with items from her suitcase. She brought a flashlight, a folding knife, a lighter, a kettle, cooking utensils, a poncho, a basic first aid kit, some toiletries, toilet paper, a portable toilet, and seven sets of underwear, all stored in compression bags to save space. She also packed three T-shirts in compression bags. Since the jacket she was wearing was enough, she didn't bring any additional outerwear. She even prepared some hardtacks, but the film crew wouldn't allow her to bring them into the forest as it would give her an unfair advantage. It wouldn't be much of a survival show if the guests entered the forest with food and water. After packing all the items into her hiking bag, she attached a foldable tent to its side and tried lifting it. The hiking bag weighed about fifteen kilograms, but it wasn't a problem for her. Elaine was the first to finish her preparations. The other five guests were still packing their things. Miranda's suitcase was filled with pretty blouses, skirts, shoes, hats, and cosmetics. She brought seven beautiful dresses, seven pairs of shoes, seven hats, a fancy-looking satchel, and sets of underwear. There were simply too many items to fit into her hiking bag. Miranda turned to Gavin and pleaded, "I can't fit my makeup and skincare products into my hiking bag, Gavin. Can I put them in yours?" "Sure. I'm not bringing much, so you can put them in my bag," Gavin replied. And just like that, Miranda stuffed her things into Gavin's hiking bag. "The show takes place in a primitive forest, so it's recommended that you bring long-sleeved clothing and survival tools," the director reminded them. He had sent all the guests a list of recommended items before their arrival, but they arrived with a collection of fashionable clothes instead. Are they here for a survival show or a fashion show?Despite the director's kind reminder, Miranda and Gavin completely disregarded it. They believed that the film crew would be equipped with survival tools while accompanying the guests, and they would ensure the guests' safety. Miranda thought that she could simply ask the crew politely for supplies if she needed them. She was determined to appear her best on camera in order to gain favor with the audience. Once the guests were ready, the film crew transported them to the forest. Gavin and Miranda rode in the first car, while Janice and Xavier took the second car, leaving Elaine and Jett in the third car. Jett completely ignored Elaine and promptly fell asleep after getting into the car. Elaine didn't mind and made the most of her remaining time by searching for survival tips on her phone.
