"For me?" The murderous intent in Elaine's eyes diminished, but she still held her cold gaze. Alpha scratched its head. The monkey then pushed the wild hare closer to Elaine. Evidently, the wild hare was indeed for her. Mixed emotions washed over Elaine as she stared at Alpha. From the looks of it, the monkey had surrendered as it was impressed by her fighting skills. With a smile, Elaine bent down and picked up the wild hare on the ground, whistling happily. "I accept the wild hare. I'll forget your offense this time. Never try to ambush me again, or I won't hold back next time." With a final warning, Elaine left with the wild hare in her hand. Netizen A: Sheeeesh! The longer you live, the more you see. Did Alpha just give Elle some food? What's going on? Netizen B: Obviously, Alpha surrendered. It's an act of apology to Elle, begging her to spare its life! Netizen C: You're amazing, Elle! It's mind-blowing how you can not only defeat an entire troop of wild monkeys but also impress them! Netizen D: I think Elle has been holding back. She seemed to effortlessly capture Alpha every time, even when it climbed onto a tree. How did Elle train to obtain such strength and agility? Netizen E: Elle must have suffered greatly in the past and spent a lot of time in the wild. That's why she's so familiar with the wilderness. That's so sad. Citizen A: Since Alpha gave Elle food, does that mean the monkeys have considered her the new alpha? Citizen D: I think that's possible... Netizen B: Hahahaha! Congratulations Elle for being newly crowned the alpha monkey! Netizen C: Congrats Elle for gaining a troop of monkey disciples! Netizen E: Congrats Elle! You're now the queen of the monkeys! When Elaine returned to the riverbank, she saw Miranda and the others once again. She quickly noticed the two hares in front of the crowd. The two hares were injured, but they were still alive. From the color of their fur, Elaine could deduce that they were wild hares, not the ones that had been released by the filming crew. She was somewhat surprised by the sight. Never would she have imagined them successfully catching hares. She was beginning to think they were not as useless as she had thought. Elaine merely glanced at the crowd before looking away without sparing them a second thought. Taking the hare in her hand to the riverbank, she fished out a pocket knife and began to skin the hare, cutting its abdomen open. The gory, blood-stained scene caused the other five to frown in repulsion. "Elaine is really cruel. How can she skin the hare without even flinching? It's clear she lacks kindness. I bet she does terrible things like this all the time!" Miranda mumbled softly. Gavin's expression darkened as he remained silent. His eyes were filled with fury. He was still upset that Elaine had done nothing when his life was in danger the previous night. Miranda was right. Elaine isn't kind at all! How can someone with a heart not be bothered when their own brother's life is at stake? Just then, Jett spoke up, "Who's going to talk to her?" Upon hearing the question, Janice immediately took a step back out of fear. Cradling her cheek, she gulped. "I don't dare to. My face is still hurting." Elaine's slap had been forceful. The spot where she had slapped Janice was still aching. Xavier shivered and said with lingering fear, "I won't go either. She has been gentler with Janice, but when it comes to us guys, her blows were stronger. My feet still feel sore from yesterday. If I were to endure another beating, I wouldn't be able to go hunting tomorrow."However, their food that day had not been a result of their diligent hunting. The two hares were caught purely by luck. When they went to search for food in the forest, they spotted the two injured wild hares with their feet caught in dried vines not far into their journey. Unfortunately, they faced another problem after catching the hares. None of them had brought a knife with them when they packed their suitcases. They had nothing to use to kill the hares. Hence, they could only wait for Elaine to return and borrow her knife. Yet, when they saw Elaine, fear seeped deep into their bones, causing none of them to be brave enough to approach her. Jett turned to Gavin and Miranda. "How about the two of you go? After all, you're her family. She might be more patient with you guys." "Excuse me? Which one of your eyes saw that she has been patient with us? She hit Gavin and me worse than any of you!" Miranda snapped. What she said was true. The wounds Gavin and Miranda had obtained from Elaine had been the most severe out of all five of them. "In that case, let's play rock, paper, scissors. The loser will go and talk to her," Xavier proposed. The crowd nodded in unison, accepting the suggestion. Xavier continued, "Right. I'll go against Jett. Gavin can go against Miranda. The losers from both teams and Janice can do palms up or down. Whosever palm is the odd one out shall be the loser." The others nodded once again, indicating no objections. After a round of competition, Gavin was the final loser. Reluctantly standing up, Gavin dragged his feet to Elaine and stood behind her. "Elaine, lend us your knife," he stated coolly. His tone was unfriendly, unlike someone who was asking for a favor. Instead, it sounded as though he was looking for trouble. Without even turning her head around, Elaine retorted, "No." Instantly, Gavin exploded in anger. "Elaine Caldwell! How can you be so selfish? Let's ignore the fact that you refused to share food with us. Right now, we're just asking to borrow your knife, and you still won't share! You're truly selfish, wicked, and vile! You don't even care about your own family as long as you have food and drinks for yourself! Someone like you would surely be a traitor in times of war!" To Gavin's frustration, Elaine simply rolled her eyes, disregarding his accusations. The only feeling she had was a slight regret. She shouldn't have saved him last night. Not only was Gavin ungrateful after she had saved his life, but his attitude towards her worsened.In her opinion, she had saved an ungrateful child. Gavin was so furious that he felt like he could explode. His temper only worsened when he saw that he had been ignored. Glaring fiercely at the back of Elaine's head, Gavin suddenly lost control and raised his leg to kick Elaine. With quick reflexes, Elaine swiftly moved to the side, avoiding the kick. Gavin then extended his arm to push Elaine. Before he could even touch her, Elaine grabbed his wrist, forcefully twisted her elbow, and threw him into the river. Before Gavin fell into the water, he managed to grab hold of Elaine's shirt with his free hand. Splash! Gavin had pulled Elaine into the water with him. The dagger and the hare slipped out of her hand and were carried away by the current. By then, Gavin was still tightly gripping Elaine, furious. "Everyone in the Grant family, young or old, is honorable and kind. Even Miranda, someone who isn't related by blood, is kind and considerate. Where on earth does someone as heartless as you come from? You're the stain on the Grant family, the complete disgrace! You've thoroughly humiliated the Grant family!" Gavin shouted."As your older brother, I will teach you a lesson today to prevent you from crossing another line in the future and tarnishing the reputation of the Grant family!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to strike Elaine. Just then, the expression on Elaine's face turned ominously serious. Slap! Before Gavin could hit her, she beat him to it and slapped him across the face while simultaneously gripping his wrist with a force that could crush his bones. "Ah!" Gavin cried out in pain. The sharp pain shot through his wrist, causing him to release his grip on her. With a kick, Elaine pushed him away. "Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson? Don't involve me with the Grant family! I have cut off all ties with your family! You think I'm the one humiliating the Grants? Hah! I'm afraid people would associate me with fools like all of you in the Grant family! People might think that I'm as pathetic and idiotic as you all! Get lost! And don't provoke me anymore!" With that said, Elaine began swimming towards the shore. On the other hand, Gavin was struggling in the water. His body hurt so much that he couldn't muster enough energy to stay afloat, causing him to be carried away by the currents. "H-Help!"Gavin cried out in horror. To his dismay, Elaine didn't even turn to look at him. Once bitten, twice shy. She wouldn't make the same mistake. She had saved him the night before, but all she received in return was hostility. She didn't want to deal with that again. "Gavin!" Miranda screamed, panicked. "I can't swim. Can any of you swim? Go save Gavin. If we don't, he'll drown!" Janice urged. Xavier shook his head helplessly. "I can't swim either." "I used to be on the swim team before my debut. I'll go save him." Jett spoke as he was already taking off his shoes. Just then, Miranda had an idea. Pretending to lose her balance, she fell onto Jett and wrapped her arms around him, acting as if she had lost her rationality due to panic. Tears streamed down her face as she shrieked, "Gavin! Gavin, you can't die! How can Elaine be so cruel? Gavin's her biological brother! She wants to kill him! She's too heartless!" Miranda sobbed. Jett furrowed his brows. "Let me go. I'll go save your brother immediately. There's still time!" However, Miranda held onto Jett tightly while wailing even louder. It was as if she hadn't heard him. She wanted Gavin to die right then and there.Once she returned, she would be able to tell the Grant family and the world that it was Elaine who killed Gavin. Everyone there could testify. They had all seen with their own eyes that Elaine had fallen into the water with Gavin and had harmed him in the water. Not only that, she left him behind as she returned to the shore. She didn't care if he was dead or alive. By then, the Grant family would be devastated and disappointed in Elaine. No one would recognize her as a Grant anymore. They might even send Elaine to jail. If that happened, Miranda could finally relax. She wouldn't have to worry about Elaine returning to the Grant family and taking her place. In that case, Miranda would still be the prized jewel of the Grant family. Gavin's such a useless fool! He couldn't help me when he was alive, but he might be able to help me get rid of Elaine if he's dead! I might as well let him die! "Miranda, let go of me! If you don't let me go save Gavin now, he might actually drown!" Jett grew restless. As he spoke, he struggled to free himself from Miranda's grasp. To his surprise, Miranda seemed to have the strength of an elephant. He couldn't shake her off.Jett was usually much stronger, but perhaps it was because he had only eaten a few eggs in the past three days, his body had weakened severely to the point where he couldn't even push a woman away. Turning his gaze to Xavier and Janice, Jett exclaimed, "Don't just stand there! Get her off me! If I don't go save Gavin now, he'll drown!" Janice and Xavier had been shocked by Miranda's outburst. It was only after they heard Jett's instructions that they snapped out of their daze. They immediately rushed forward to pull Miranda away. "Ahh! Don't touch me! Don't pull me away! I don't want to leave Gavin!" She sniffled, "Don't leave me, Gavin! I don't want to lose you. You must always stay by my side..." Miranda pretended to be so shaken that she mistook Jett for Gavin. She held onto him tightly, crying uncontrollably. Upon seeing Miranda's disturbed expression, neither Janice nor Xavier dared to touch her. Janice was afraid to touch her, while Xavier wanted to avoid any trouble for himself. After all, Miranda was writhing around like a snake. He might accidentally touch her somewhere he shouldn't. If Miranda were to accuse him of taking advantage of her, he would have no way to prove his innocence.Netizen F: What the hell? I can't help but swear. Is Gavin out of his mind? How dare he drag Elle into the water and try to hit her? If Elle doesn't know how to swim or fight, she would be the one being carried away by the currents. She would be the one needing help now, wouldn't she? Netizen B: He really is as terrible as he is stupid! He had the audacity to throw a fit when he didn't get what he wanted from Elle. It's such an insult to Elle that a fool like him is her biological brother! Netizen A: What is this nonsense? Elle rescued him yesterday, and not only did he try to harm Elle, but he also caused her to lose both her knife and the hare meat. What an ungrateful jerk! Netizen A: Just let him die! Netizen C: He struck first! Elle was just defending herself! Even if he dies, Elle is not guilty! Netizen G: Hahahaha! Can you guys see it? Look at Miranda's sly expression. She's purposely holding onto Jett so he can't save Gavin! Gavin always targeted Elaine for Miranda's sake, and now, Miranda is dragging Jett down so Gavin can't be rescued! Karma's a b*tch! Netizen A: Miranda is so evil. Even though Gavin is idiotic and bad-tempered, at least he's genuinely nice to Miranda and always protects her. Yet, she wants to leave Gavin to die... I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. How can there be someone so evil in this world? Netizen B: Genetics could have played a role. Her biological mother was a drug addict who intentionally swapped her for Elaine. She even abandoned Elaine in the ghetto to fend for herself. Looks like Miranda perfectly inherited her mother's genes! Netizen E: I wonder if the Grant family is watching the livestream. I wonder what they're thinking when they see Miranda holding onto Jett and preventing Gavin from being rescued. What would they think? Netizen A: Heh! This looks like retribution for the Grant family's actions! Netizen G: I hope they'll forgive Miranda and allow her to continue staying in the Grant residence, giving her the chance to kill off the Grant family one by one. Since the Grant family adores Miranda so much, rejecting their biological daughter for her, surely they would be overjoyed to be killed by Miranda! Netizen F: HAHAHA! That's right! How could they blame Miranda? Gavin is someone who would do anything for Miranda. He was willing to harm his own biological sister for some fake chick who's not even related to him by blood! Now that he's being abandoned by his dear sister, he surely wouldn't blame Miranda. Netizen D: If the Grant family can force Elaine to sign a contract that can destroy her future just to make Miranda look good, they're nothing but a bunch of rotten apples. Death would be merciful for a family as rotten as that! Meanwhile, in the Grant residence, dinnertime had arrived. The entire family was seated at the dining table, watching the livestream as they ate. Naturally, they saw all the scenes that everyone else was seeing. They also saw the discussions by the netizens. “Ah! Gav! My baby! Go save my baby! He's being washed away! Miranda, what are you doing? Let go of Jett! Let him rescue Gav!” Yelena rushed in front of the screen and burst into tears as panic overwhelmed her. She wanted nothing more than to crawl into the screen and save her son herself.
