The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 523 The Last Day

James nodded. "All right, I understand the situation. If Gavin needs to make a police report, the production crew will fully cooperate and hand over the recordings to the police." They breathed a sigh of relief when James didn't have any more questions. Any further investigation would only intensify their guilt. After concluding the topic, James began asking about something else. "How were the last few days for all of you?" Miranda's eyes reddened as she pitifully replied, "We were constantly bullied by Elaine. Every time we managed to find some food, she would take it from us and force us to watch her eat. The last six days felt like a living hell. It was terrible." Everyone else nodded in agreement. Shaking his head, the shocked James remarked, "I can't believe Elaine is like that. She has gone too far!" Miranda bit her lip, adding, "She grew up in a poor neighborhood surrounded by hoodlums, and that's why she behaves like one. Even though she was reunited with the Grant family, and we have tried to patiently educate her in an attempt to reform her, she refuses to change. She did behave better in front of the camera, but once you were gone, she showed her true colors. She tried to bully us and seemed determined to ensure that all of us died here." Miranda let out a sigh before breaking into a wry smile. "I used to really want to change her, but now, I have given up. Her hatred for me is overwhelming. Even though I did nothing wrong and tolerated the harm she has done to me, she feels no remorse and simply intensifies her attacks against me. I'm worried that if I continue to be near her, I will end up being killed before I can change her. Anyway, I give up. I just hope that she sees the light and doesn't continue on this dark path." James exclaimed, "You truly are a kind person! Despite all the wrong she has done to you, you still want the best for her." Smiling, Miranda replied, "Perhaps I was born with a kind nature. Ever since I was young, I could never stand by and watch anyone suffer. Even if they were to hurt me, I wouldn't blame them as long as they didn't cross the line. All I want is for them to change for the better." James added, "There are just too few good samaritans like you in the world!" A bashful smile appeared on Miranda's face. Gavin proudly declared, "Miranda has always been kind since she was young, unlike a certain someone who's cold and vicious." Even though he didn't mention any names, it was clear to everyone who he was referring to. Stopping there, James looked around before asking, "Where's Elaine? Why isn't she here?" Letting out a sigh, Miranda explained, "She keeps refusing to join us and ventured into the jungle early in the morning. I have no idea what she's up to as she didn't tell us about it."Gavin grumbled, "Stop talking about her. When are we going back, Mr. Grisham?" He had no intention of staying there any longer. Not only did he have wounds on his body, but he also had countless mosquito bites. He had never suffered so miserably in his twenty-three years of life. Moreover, the fact that he couldn't relieve himself made him feel extremely constipated. Strangely enough, he envied Miranda, who had soiled herself after being frightened by Elaine. She naturally felt much better than him after that. Despite the humiliating circumstances they had endured, the other three didn't dare reveal the truth to the public due to the siblings' status. As for Elaine, no one would ever believe her. Meanwhile, James replied, "The contract you have signed with the show requires you to stay here for seven days. As the production crew wasn't with you for the first six days, we will bear the consequences of not filming anything. You don't have to reshoot that portion. However, you'll have to stay one more day to complete the full seven-day duration. That means we'll be going back tomorrow. Is that all right?" In front of the camera, they had to comply with the request no matter how unwilling they were. Thus, Miranda agreed for the sake of the bigger picture. "Okay, whatever you say, Mr. Grisham. But will you have enough footage to make a show from a day's worth of filming? If you need it, I'm willing to continue shooting for a few more days for free. However, it will have to be in a different location. This place has become too traumatic for me." Miranda's suggestion quickly gained the support of everyone else. If the show was canceled due to a lack of editing material, all their suffering would have been in vain. Therefore, it was in their interest to sacrifice more time to continue filming, as long as it was done in a more comfortable location. Smiling, James remarked, "You guys are certainly helpful. I won't hold back if there's a need to do so. However, you have endured a lot for many days now and are in terrible condition. Once we're done with filming today, you should go back and rest. I'll get in touch if I need anything after that." The group nodded in agreement, as everyone was satisfied with the consensus reached in the negotiations. James said, "All right then, let's continue filming after this. Since you have suffered so much over the last six days, you don't have to scavenge for your own food. The crew will provide it, and all you need to do is cook." The group was ecstatic upon hearing James' words. Hurray, we no longer have to enter the jungle in search of food! Truth be told, James had little choice in the matter. The livestock they had placed in the jungle had been devoured by other wild animals, leaving the group with nothing to find.As a result, he decided to let them have a better meal on the last day so that they could regain their strength to face the truth when they returned to the city the next day. James said, "The food is on the ship. Once you bring it down, you can start cooking." Given their limited capabilities, it would take them an entire day to finish. With that, Miranda and the others were guided by the production crew to retrieve their food from the ship. Miranda displayed a gentle demeanor and was attentive to everyone. Despite not doing anything substantial, she bustled around busily, reminding everyone to be careful or to carry less. Meanwhile, outrage erupted on the livestream. F*ck! Miranda is such a fake. Doesn't she feel embarrassed to say something like that? Born with a kind nature? That's not true! She was the leader when it came to bullying Elaine. How kind was she when she stole Elaine's belongings? She's such a horrible person. Just looking at her now makes me feel sick when I think about what she has done over the past six days! Xavier, Jett, and Janice are extremely disappointing. They prioritized their own interests over their principles and slandered Elle simply because it suited them.I used to think that Xavier and the others weren't as bad. But now, it's clear that they are willing to betray their conscience for personal gain. Xavier and the others had an opportunity to clear their names, but in the end, they chose the path of destruction. Gavin and Miranda never cease to shock us. Do they have any principles at all? How can they distort the facts without any remorse? Watching Miranda now, I can't help but feel how fake and hypocritical she is. Meanwhile, Elaine had spent a day with the monkeys on top of the hill, tending to the wounds of those who were injured. Before leaving in the evening, she bid them a sincere farewell. "Today will be my last day here, as I will be leaving this place tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time I see you. From now on, you will have to take care of yourselves." Regardless of whether the production crew arrived the next day, she would be leaving them. With her abilities, leaving wouldn't be difficult. As if they understood what she was saying, the monkeys anxiously circled her, chattering non-stop. Elaine responded calmly, "Although I don't understand what you're saying, I can make a good guess. Saying goodbye is a part of life. There's no need to feel sad about it. You should also stop thinking about coming with me, as I won't take you along. If I were followed by a group of protected animals in the city, I would be arrested and put in prison. We haven't known each other for long and even fought against each other, so we're not really that close. Let's not make this more dramatic than it needs to be." Even though the monkeys continued to chatter, their voices had softened significantly. Afterwards, the monkeys began to place things in her hands, one after another. Some gave her fruits, while others gave her flowers in full bloom. Additionally, she received prey they had caught and beautiful feathers from other animals. Their gesture surprised Elaine. "All of you are monkeys. How did you pick up the unhealthy human habit of giving gifts?" Shaking her head, she placed the gifts down before packing them into her bag. "This scene is making me cry. I can't bear to watch Elle parting with the monkeys." "My favorite pair in the show is going their separate ways. It makes me feel so sad!" "What? How can you see Elle and the monkeys as a pair?" "Don't just pair Elle with anyone, okay?" "I don't care! It just makes me happy!" "This is hilarious. I was feeling sad earlier, but you guys have made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurts now.""The monkeys have more conscience than that horrible Miranda!" "I hope that the monkeys will stay safe and not encounter any danger once Elle isn't there to protect them." "Hey, wasn't Elle the biggest threat to them initially?" After packing up all the gifts the monkeys gave her, Elaine slung her bag over her shoulder. She then gave the monkeys a reluctant look before interlocking her fingers and stretching them. The sound of cracking knuckles filled the air. "Since all of you have given me gifts, I also have a farewell gift for you!" The monkeys tilted their heads, curious to see what she had in mind. Without saying a word, Elaine suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Alpha's head. "Alpha, I'll start with you!" No sooner had she spoken than a loud slap echoed through the air. She forcefully slapped Alpha's face, leaving the latter stunned. The other monkeys were also shocked by the unexpected turn of events. Before they could react, Elaine quickly delivered a few more slaps to Alpha before throwing it into the air and sending it flying with a jumping kick.Alpha was thrown back more than ten meters before crashing onto the ground. Wearing the same smile, Elaine turned her attention to the other monkeys, causing them to squeal in horror. Elaine suddenly dropped to all fours and began crawling on the ground in a sinister manner. With a twisted smile on her face, she rapidly chased after the fleeing monkeys. "Stop running. All of you are going to get it, hehe!"
