Chapter 456 - 450: Stealing a Song

As they walked, everyone learned about beekeeping. Eventually, they could even help the beekeepers manage and herd the bees.

The group trekked through the mountains for an entire day, only finding a place to rest when night fell.

They placed the beehives outside the cave, ensuring they wouldn’t get rained on, while everyone warmed themselves by a fire inside.

Although the weather in Yarrow was warm, it was much colder in the mountains than down below.

So, after starting the fire, they all gathered around it for warmth.

Fortunately, the production team provided ample food and didn’t make things difficult for them in that regard, so everyone ate well along the way.

After six consecutive days of walking and driving, everyone was utterly exhausted. Before they knew it, they had actually left Yarrow.

When the cameraman told the guests, they clearly couldn’t believe it.

Only Chloe Sinclair remained completely calm.

’After all, with a living map like Eight, I can know my location at any time.’

After six days, everyone had visibly lost some weight.

After all, they were camping in the wild. Even though the food was good, sleeping in a different place every night made for restless sleep.

Now, having left Yarrow, the group arrived on a vast plain.

A huge expanse of brilliant yellow rapeseed flowers came into view.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but yellow. The sight was absolutely stunning.

The cameraman launched a drone he had prepared earlier.

Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers shimmered under the golden sunlight. The rich, fresh scent caused the guests’ expressions to relax.

"I can’t believe we can still see a view like this in winter."

Jessica Ford didn’t want to miss the opportunity and quickly asked the cameraman to take some beautiful photos of her.

"Quick, quick! I’m going to post on Weibo the moment I get back tomorrow. This place is just gorgeous."

On a narrow, two-meter-wide white road, there were only a few scattered tourists. It wasn’t bustling like a popular online travel spot, but it was here that everyone felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Just then, Simon Lawson suddenly appeared, holding the same megaphone from the start of the show. With a smile, he announced, "Congratulations, guests. You’ve completed the mission ahead of schedule."

The guests present were stunned for a moment, their eyes blank. But when reality sank in, their eyes welled up with tears.

An indescribable emotion washed over them.

No one had expected the show to end early.

Simon Lawson gave a wry smile. "I originally thought you’d run into some setbacks along the way, but I didn’t expect..."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Chloe Sinclair.

Chloe Sinclair was highly capable and had leadership qualities. Throughout the filming, she frequently helped Yara Garrison and Jessica Ford.

As a result, the entire group’s progress was much faster.

They managed to complete the mission on the sixth day.

This was a first since season one.

Simon Lawson smiled. "Filming is over. You can take a car. Your managers or assistants are already waiting for you at the airport."

After he finished speaking, a staff member returned everyone’s luggage and personal cell phones to the guests.

Although the production team had told the managers and assistants to wait at the airport, they had all considerately driven to the filming location instead.

Before long, several managers drove up to pick up their respective artists.

Finally, Ms. Mayfield pulled up in her car as well.

The only one left without a ride was Nina Sinclair.

Jessica Ford couldn’t stand to watch. "Why don’t you come with me to the airport?"

Even though Nina Sinclair had been quite annoying during the show, Jessica Ford figured that since they probably wouldn’t work together again, giving her a lift wouldn’t be a big deal.

But that wasn’t how Nina Sinclair saw it.

Jessica Ford had started as a model. With her tall, slender figure and the deadpan expression she wore when speaking, she came across as condescending, which made Nina uncomfortable.

"No, thanks."

Nina Sinclair refused without a second thought.

Then, she walked over to Gabriel Sinclair’s side. "I’m going back to Emberfall, just like Gabriel. I want to go with him."

Jessica Ford was taken aback. She subconsciously glanced at Gabriel Sinclair, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but ultimately said nothing.

Once the four regular guests had left, Gabriel Sinclair walked right past Nina Sinclair and went to Chloe Sinclair’s side. "We’ll call our own car."

Chloe Sinclair gave Nina Sinclair a deep look, then turned to Simon Lawson. "Director Lawson, does the production team have any spare vehicles?"

Simon Lawson looked apologetic. "Three of our cars broke down on the way here, the bus is still back in Yarrow and hasn’t come over yet, and we need to stay here for a while longer."

Hearing this, Chloe Sinclair didn’t press the issue and simply nodded.

"Then let’s get a taxi."

Ms. Mayfield frowned. "I’ll call a car for Nina Sinclair."

"No need. Leave this car for her. We’ll take another ride home. Just have the car service give it a thorough cleaning afterward." Chloe Sinclair cut Ms. Mayfield off directly.

Seeing Ms. Mayfield’s grim expression, Chloe Sinclair just said in a low voice, "I’m sorry to have troubled you."

Ms. Mayfield looked like she wanted to say more but held her tongue and let it go.

And so, Nina Sinclair was left with an empty car and a new assistant.

Nina Sinclair stood there, her face a mask of embarrassment.

But she had already burned her bridges with the Sinclair Family, so after a moment of hesitation, she still climbed into the RV.

Not long after the assistant drove away, the driver Ms. Mayfield had called arrived.

Once in the car, Chloe Sinclair pretended to take a nap, but she was actually entering her system to have Eight monitor Nina Sinclair.

Nina Sinclair sat in the front passenger seat, in no mood to appreciate the endless sea of golden flowers.

She glanced at the assistant beside her, whom she didn’t recognize. ’He must be Gabriel Sinclair’s new assistant,’ she figured.

The assistant was a slightly chubby young man. His face was covered in acne, and behind his thick glasses were a pair of small eyes.

’He’s disgusting to look at.’

"Can you drive any faster? You’re going to make me miss my flight!"

The assistant jumped in surprise and could only nod repeatedly without a word.

Seeing his reaction, Nina Sinclair instantly lost interest. After muttering a curse under her breath, she turned on the car’s stereo to listen to some music.

This was Gabriel Sinclair’s car, so all the music on it was his own.

It had to be said, aside from being a poor student, Gabriel Sinclair was truly talented when it came to acting, singing, and composing.

A gentle male voice flowed from the speakers. There wasn’t a hint of accompaniment, just a low hum that held a fatal charm.

But the song wasn’t finished—only half of it was there. It was clearly an impromptu creation, yet just hearing the opening lyrics was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Nina Sinclair’s eyes lit up instantly.

She secretly turned on her phone’s voice recorder and then played the song again.

Once the song finished, Nina Sinclair glanced at the assistant, who was still focused on driving and hadn’t noticed a thing. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

She looked at the car’s display screen and, with a quick movement of her hand, deleted the song.

Meanwhile, Chloe Sinclair watched Nina Sinclair’s every move on the system’s digital screen, an ironic smile spreading across her face.

’I really didn’t think Nina Sinclair was this stupid.

I overestimated her.’
