Elric saw the group coming in, looking exhausted and carrying only a few eggs and vegetables.

"Is this all you managed to get?" he asked.

Alex raised an eyebrow at him. "From the way you talk, it sounds like you got a lot more?"

That seemed impossible. They had visited dozens of households in the village all afternoon and hadn't encountered Elric's team at all.

While chatting, they even said on the live stream that they wondered if the other team had spent the entire time lounging in the courtyard.

Judging by their relaxed appearance, that seemed very likely.

Elric smirked. "We didn't trade for anything, but we've already got dinner covered."

Alex was skeptical. "How could you have dinner sorted if you didn't trade for anything?"

Elric pointed at Lindsay and said with a smile, "Because we have Lindsay on our team, and we won without even trying."

Hearing this, Alex's group was even more puzzled.

Olivia felt a pang of discomfort. "You won because of Lindsay?"

How was that possible? She

    Meanwhile, a neat and beautiful woven storage basket took shape in Lindsay's hands.Wendy looked at her in amazement. "Linds, you can weave baskets too?"Earlier, the three of them tried, but they were too clumsy to pick up the skill.Lindsay smiled, "I learned it for a bit before."She placed the finished basket on the table. "We can use this to store our personal items."Wendy picked it up and examined it. "Great! I was just wondering where to put all my skincare and makeup products.""It'll be really convenient to carry this basket when we need to wash up."Living with Lindsay was definitely a good choice.Lindsay smiled. "That's what I thought too.""I'll weave a few straw hats for us to wear when we help pick peaches tomorrow. I'll also make a few more storage baskets for our clothes."Hearing this, Elric asked with a smile, "Are you making some for me and Leslie too?"Lindsay looked up at him. "Of course, we're all on the same team, everyone gets one."Elric chuckled. "Then we gl

    Alex calling Lindsay to cook left the team that had just arrived momentarily stunned.Elric, Leslie, and Wendy all turned to look at Lindsay. From Alex's tone, it sounded like he was very familiar with Lindsay and somewhat commanding.Lindsay looked at Alex with an expression of exasperation. "Is that how you ask someone for help? Why do you think I should cook for you?"Alex was at a loss for words. "Because..."He had intended to say, "Because I am your brother," but seeing the cold look on Lindsay's face, the words stuck in his throat. Moreover, Olivia had advised him not to reveal their relationship with Lindsay, fearing it might provoke her into causing a scene.Lindsay sneered. "Alex, if you're not thinking straight, go clear your head. I'm not your servant."Elric noticed Lindsay's clear disdain for Alex and naturally sided with his teammate.He raised an eyebrow at Alex. "Isn't that a bit shameless? Linds isn't on your team and doesn't owe you anything. Why should she cook for

    Worried that Alex might blurt out the fact that Lindsay was their sister, Olivia quickly exclaimed, "Oh no, the dish I'm cooking is about to burn!"She immediately grabbed Alex's hand, pulling him back into the kitchen. "Brother, come help me."Lindsay watched Alex being dragged away and clicked her tongue with a meaningful look. "Even going back to the kitchen, they have to hold hands. They really can't stop showing off their sibling bond!"Lindsay's comment made everyone notice that Olivia was indeed holding Alex's hand as they returned to the kitchen. It also felt somewhat awkward for adult siblings to be so physically close.Justin, who grew up with Lindsay, knew she wasn't a weak person. However, he felt she was being too aggressive by not letting go of the issue with Olivia and Alex.He spoke up, "Linds, let it go."Lindsay looked at Justin with a cold, indifferent gaze. "The one who starts it is at fault.”In the past, whenever there was a conflict, the Harper family always blam

    Wendy had a pretty good impression of Lindsay and wanted to lighten the mood and change the topic. So, she said to Lindsay, "Weren't you going to weave straw hats? Why don't you teach me? I'll see if I can learn."Lindsay nodded. "Sure!"She patiently took some reeds and started teaching Wendy how to weave a straw hat.Elric and Leslie exchanged a glance, then each pulled up a chair to sit and watch them weave.Meanwhile, the comments in the live stream were filled with controversy."Lindsay must be crazy! Not only did she insult my Lex, but she also snapped at Justin. Who does she think she is?""Exactly! She's just a third-rate actress. How dare she go against top stars and an award-winning actor? Who gave her the courage?""Lindsay is so rude and disrespectful to her seniors. I dislike her more and more.""My Lex was just worried about his sister. Lindsay is the one who's out of line.""Not just out of line, she's completely lost it!""Justin was only trying to tell her she was bei

    There were exactly four dishes. They set aside portions from each to give to the production team in exchange for bedding, leaving the rest for themselves.One dish was overcooked, but Olivia had put effort into plating the other three, making them look somewhat presentable.After Alex and Justin tasted the food, they both praised her efforts. This led to a stream of compliments on the live chat, calling Olivia a warm-hearted angel.Of course, much of this praise was driven by hired commenters.Sharon also tried the food. She thought either her taste buds were malfunctioning, or the other two were being dishonest. The three dishes were either bland or too salty—hardly delicious. Yet, Alex and Justin had the nerve to compare it to restaurant quality. She could only roll her eyes internally.She felt even more jealous seeing Olivia being protected by two high-quality men.As night fell, Lindsay and her group returned to their rooms.Lindsay took the reeds back to her room to continue we

    Wendy observed the entire exchange. She also noticed that many online comments were false. They claimed that Lindsay was clinging to Justin and that he was fed up with her and wanted to get rid of her, calling her a leech.But from what she had just witnessed, it was clear that Lindsay was the one avoiding Justin and initiating the breakup. If she hadn't been there, Justin might have tried to stop Lindsay forcefully. The reality was the complete opposite of the online rumors.Back in their room, Lindsay didn't mention Justin. Although Wendy was curious, she didn't ask because it was a private matter.The next morning, Lindsay got up early and went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.When the production crew arrived, they saw her finishing the last segment of her routine.Adam, who was familiar with Lindsay because she had once saved his wife, smiled and asked, "You're up early practicing martial arts. Why didn't you wait until the live stream started?"The routine Lindsay had j

    Elric rolled his eyes at him. "Why would I lie? It's not like I have time to waste."Alex then turned to Lindsay, still doubtful. "How did you manage to do that?"He couldn't believe Lindsay had helped Elric's team so effectively. Was his sister really that capable?Lindsay could easily see his skepticism.She replied coolly, "How I did it isn't really your concern, is it? Instead of questioning me here, you'd better hurry up and find some work."When she was with the Harper family, both her parents and her five brothers always underestimated her abilities, thinking she was just a small-town girl. Influenced by Olivia's remarks, they genuinely believed she was incompetent.So, hearing that she had secured a week's worth of work for her team, Alex found it hard to believe.Alex was once again at a loss for words. "You don't need to worry about us. We'll definitely find work."Lindsay shrugged. "Who's got time to worry about you?""You!" Alex found that ever since Lindsay had decisively

    Seeing such a handsome young man acting pitiful, the lady of the house suddenly felt less nervous about being on camera.She smiled and said, "It’s just a simple breakfast, no problem."She stood up to start cooking, but Lindsay noticed the partially eaten sandwiches on the table and smiled. "Ma'am, why don't you show us to the kitchen? We can cook it ourselves so you can continue with your breakfast."Under normal circumstances, the woman would have felt awkward letting her guests cook. But since Adam had mentioned that these celebrities were here to experience life, she nodded. "Sure, follow me."The four of them followed her to the kitchen. She pointed to the stove and showed them how to use it, providing flour, four eggs, and some bacon strips before returning to her meal.Once she left, Lindsay asked the others, "Do any of you know how to make American breakfast?"Elric and Leslie shook their heads in unison, "No."Wendy raised her hand, "I can only fry an egg."Lindsay nodded.

    In the vibrant district of the historic town, the streets were lined with vintage boutiques and various artisan stalls. Lindsay's group visited the town’s administration office and rented a temporary booth.Alex and Justin eagerly borrowed a table and chairs, setting up the booth. Following Lindsay's instructions, they also bought a piece of white fabric and worked together to create a simple sign. The production team provided markers and other supplies.Lindsay glanced over at Benedict and said, "Benedict, I’ll let you handle writing the banner."She was eager to observe his writing and the energy he gave off while doing it.Benedict sighed inwardly—this girl was constantly trying to test him. After a moment’s thought, he nodded. "Alright, I’ll write it."He grabbed a marker, uncapped it, and wrote in bold letters across the white fabric: “Fortune Telling, Divination, and Tarot Readings.”Lindsay watched him closely, noticing the fluidity of his movements as he wrote, his posture exud

    Justin added, "My mom’s been trying to get me to help Olivia and distance myself from Lindsay. She’s also said plenty of nasty things about Lindsay. This time, not only did I ignore her, but I even pushed back. It probably pissed her off, and now she’s taking it out on Lindsay."Alex, clearly upset, said, "You should talk to her and tell her to stop fixating on Lindsay. Lindsay hasn’t done anything to provoke her. It’s ridiculous."He was frustrated that Justin’s mom had been stirring up trouble, making Grace even more difficult to deal with.Justin nodded. "Alright, after the show is over, I’ll have a talk with her."He also felt his mom was acting out of line. Back when he liked Lindsay, her disapproval at least made sense. But now that Lindsay had kicked him to the curb, his mom’s continued obsession was baffling.Although they were speaking softly, Lindsay and Benedict, walking ahead, heard every word.Lindsay found the situation with Abby baffling as well. A woman who fawned over

    After Lindsay left, the other guests quickly followed, leaving only Alex standing there awkwardly. He spoke briefly to the production staff, and they soon shifted the cameras away from that area. Alex then walked over to Grace, saying, "Mom, since Lindsay won’t lend it, let’s just drop it."Grace shot him a cold glare, her expression dark. "How can you be so heartless? The one lying in bed is your fourth brother. Are you hanging around Lindsay all the time just to learn how to be cold and ruthless?"Unable to contain her frustration toward Lindsay, Grace directed it at Alex instead.Alex sighed in exasperation. "Even if we need help, it has to be something she’s willing to do! We’ve wronged Lindsay enough as it is, so why do you keep trying to guilt-trip her? Brandon’s situation isn’t Lindsay’s fault. Why don’t you go find Olivia? She’s the one who caused all this, maybe she can fix it. After all, whoever’s behind her is no easy target."Right now, all Alex felt toward Lindsay was gui

    Grace held back her anger and said, "It'll only take a few minutes. I have something important to discuss with you."Lindsay sat back down in her seat. "Fine, go ahead."The livestream was on, and Lindsay was fully aware of it—she was doing this on purpose.Grace was about to speak when her assistant whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed, and she subtly shifted her body to turn away from the camera.Then she looked at Lindsay. "Can we talk outside?"In her rush to find Lindsay, she had almost forgotten that this was a live-streamed variety show. She didn’t want to be on camera, much less discuss such personal matters in front of an audience.Lindsay, however, refused. "If it's important, say it here. If not, then don’t say anything."Grace’s expression darkened. "It’s because it’s important that we need to talk privately."She emphasized, "It’s not appropriate in front of the camera."Lindsay just smiled. "Unless it's something shady, what’s wrong with saying it on cam

    Lindsay thought about it for a while and figured that if Grace was coming to find her, it was probably for Brandon. The only thing she could want would be the artifact in her possession.Alex saw her reply and couldn’t help but smile wryly. His sister was indeed sharp and saw right through it.He sent a voice message, repeating what the head of the Divination Association had told them. "Mom just wants to borrow the artifact from you to suppress Brandon’s condition."Lindsay replied, "Tell her not to waste her energy."Seeing that message, Alex knew right away that she wouldn’t lend it out. It didn’t surprise him—his sister could be ruthless when she wanted to be."We can’t convince her otherwise, not even Dad can stop her... sigh," Alex added. When their mom’s temper flared, she wouldn’t listen to anyone.Lindsay didn’t seem to care. "Then let her come. I’m not going to do her any favors."Alex recalled the conversation between their parents at the hospital and decided to warn her, "M

    Recently, Grace had been spending more time with Abby, often meeting up for outings. Over time, Richard noticed that Grace's anger towards their biological daughter had deepened. Abby had always disliked Lindsay and showed more favoritism towards Olivia. She must have been stirring up trouble and egging Grace on whenever they met. With time, Grace was bound to be influenced.Grace, clearly annoyed, said, "You even want to control who I make friends with? Aren't you going too far? What's wrong with me getting along with Mrs. Ford and spending more time with her?"Richard felt cornered. "I just think there's something off about her. Her intentions in getting close to you don't seem good. That's why I'm trying to give you a heads-up."Grace didn't believe him at all. "I think you're overthinking it. We’ve always had a decent relationship. We’re just closer now, that’s all.""What do you men know about women’s matters? Don't interfere." She now had plenty to talk about with Abby. Jenny wa

    Richard glanced at Grace with clear disapproval. “This whole mess was caused by Olivia and Brandon. What does any of it have to do with Lindsay?”He could tell that recent events, and the embarrassment caused by their sons, had left his wife feeling bitter. It seemed she had begun to project that frustration onto Lindsay, despite the situation having little to do with her.Grace crossed her arms defensively. “If it wasn’t for her ongoing fight with Olivia, Brandon wouldn’t have gotten involved. He’s her brother. Doesn’t she owe him some consideration now that he’s in this condition?”Richard frowned. “What exactly are you trying to say?”Valarie, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, her displeasure clear. “I see it differently. It’s Olivia and your son who started the trouble, and all Lindsay did was defend herself. Are you really looking to embarrass yourselves even more?”Grace shifted uncomfortably, feeling the sting of her mother-in-law’s words. “I’m just thinking abou

    Given the Harper family's persistence, there was no way the Divination Association could avoid a thorough investigation. Seeing that Randolph wouldn’t back down, the official left, courteously escorted out by Randolph, who, for the moment, had ceased his protests.Valarie carefully placed the multicolored stone inside a small protective pouch before securing it around Brandon's neck. Though he felt a slight relief after putting it on, the bad luck continued. As the official had warned, his misfortune was too severe for one artifact to fully contain.Randolph tried every connection he had, attempting to borrow a second artifact, but came up empty-handed. Time slipped by, and evening approached before they could find any further solutions.By the time Richard and Grace arrived at the hospital, they were met with the weary faces of their parents. Feeling guilty for everything his father had gone through, Richard bowed his head. "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry you had to go through this today."

    Hearing their words, the hope that had briefly flickered in Brandon’s eyes quickly faded, leaving him more devastated than before. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong," he muttered, finally realizing the truth. His foster sister had been nothing but trouble—far from trustworthy, she had been a constant source of harm. Meanwhile, his real sister, though harsh and distant, had proven to be far more reliable. Regret gnawed at him deeply.Randolph sighed, his voice heavy with disappointment. “Knowing you’re wrong doesn’t change anything. It’s too late now.”Turning back to the two mystics, Randolph asked, “If you can’t break the curse directly, could you at least help suppress his misfortune? Maybe with a protective charm or some kind of mystical object?”Despite his frustration with his grandson’s foolishness, he couldn’t just leave him to suffer.Both mystics exchanged uneasy glances. “We don’t have the ability to suppress his bad luck with charms.”“For something like that, you’d need t
